SparkZ 10 Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Hello, I'm experiencing lag only in multiplayer, it's not a normal lag that is constant, but a "framedrop" that appears for 10 seconds, and vanishes again. Like, I'm having good frames, and every 20 seconds the framedrop of 10 seconds long appear. Every 20 seconds. My Arma 3 also crashes sometimes when playing multiplayer. My pc meets the requirements. Anyone knows a solution? I would be so thankfull of it! Things I've tried: - Game Booster - Update drivers - Changed parameters in the Arma 3 launcher I hope to find a fix soon! Regards xSparkZx UPDATE: I'm playing single player and it's also happening in the Arma 3 campaign. It can't be my PC is I could play through the campaign with 40 FPS the whole time. Now the lag spikes are also in singleplayer. I'm gonna explain again, for 15 seconds or so I got 40 FPS, then a FPS drop occurs for 10 seconds and dissapears. that routine all over again. Something's wrong, but I don't know what Edited January 10, 2015 by SparkZ Update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 858 Posted January 3, 2015 What mission(s) are you playing? Is it on all of them or just some? Some missions have badly coded things in them (like a 20000m nearestObjects check for example) that are set to run periodically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SparkZ 10 Posted January 3, 2015 I'm playing Invade & Annex, a kind of domination server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 858 Posted January 3, 2015 Have you tried running the mission from your PC and playing as host? If you still get the drops, then it would be unlikely to be a network issue and probably something in the mission code. Also, do you play with mods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SparkZ 10 Posted January 3, 2015 I can't be host as it's a public server, but I'm only using Ares, an Addon vor Zeus to have more options but I doubt that'l be the problem, I also experienced it without the mod so.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 858 Posted January 3, 2015 When you play the mission it downloads to your mpmissions folder. You can load it up from there to test on your PC if you want to check that. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?100856-modify-dowloaded-MP-missions&p=1658123&viewfull=1#post1658123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
