Lose of 20 FPS since Armed V1.05

[Exaercase 0]

Hello,

I not very happy of the FPS of the game so this morning i've reinstall all of it (Delete All even the Profile). I reinstall it with the Original version (V1.04) and i've a FPS between 30 and 40. I intstall the Patch V1.05 and now again i have poor performance (15-25 FPS) for the same part of the game where i obtain 35-45 FPS !!!!!!

NB : Game Options as the same in case A (V1.04) and (V1.05). i'vent modifiy nothing in configuration.

Why a so major difference and moreover with 15-25 the game is not playable with plaseaure ?

My HW Config :

Motherboard : Asus P5N32-E SLI

Memory : 2 Go Kiston (1033 FSB)

CPU : Intel Core 2 DUO 2.4 Ghz

GPU : GeForce 8800 GTX

First try some different drivers. 101.02 (or something like that) will probably be good for your card. Also try the new beta patch - it increases performance for some.

in the beta i got less FPS than 105.

I think the view distance unfogging has drained the FPS.

i turned down shaders (v high to normal) and went for 6k not 10 k Vd to hit the magic 30 FPS or over. Also kept PP LOW.

Hello,

I have the V1.05 Beta and the problem is still present. Morevover i ve search on the net and i not the only to have the PROBLEM !!!!!!!!! Many peapole have it. Moreover my FOV = 1200 and is the default value i have a GeForce 8800 GTX (The best Graphical card) with the last drivers (97.94_forceware_winxp_international_whql.exe) and 2Go of RAM at 1033 Mhz and a Intel Core 2 DUO 2.2Ghz so it's not serious to tell me that problem is normal. Morevoer in V1.04 i have NOT THE PROBLEM !!!!!!!!!

To information (In french sorry) another peapole wih the same problem :

Quote[/b] ]bonjour,

j´ai installé arma ce matin sur mon nouveau pc portable dont la config est la suivante :

processeur core 2 duo 2ghz 667mhz fsb 4mo cache L2

2048mo de ram 667 mhz

geforce 7900 256mo

windows vista (version 32bit)

en version 1.04 le jeu tourne a merveille

je peux quasiment tout mettre en "élevé" dans les config sans avoir de problème de ralentissement

seulement, je viens de mettre a jour le jeu en 1.05 et là c´est le drame

ca ram à mort

même en "normal" ça ram comme j´ai jamais vu

une màj est censé optimiser un jeu, pas le rendre plus problèmatique, non ?

j´ai lu qu´en 1.05 il utilisait un peu plus de ressource mais à ce point là ça devient énorme...

quelqu´un pourrait-il me donner une solution miracle ou me renseigner sur ce problème ?

merci

A few people have found that getting the lastest BIOS for your MOBO can help.

Also alot of people with CORE duos report issues with ARMA, you have to bind ARMA to core O.

Turns shaders to normal, PP off, AA normal, Shadows VERY HIGH (8800 seems to do them at that setting not the CPU) texture Normal, everything else maxed bar terrain LOW. And then you should get 30-60 FPS on your PC at upto 1600x1024.

If you have SSAA enabled this EATS your FPS even on a 8800.

And I have 8800 GTX KO running at 626/1000 and I'm having to turn things down a bit to get a steady 6km VD!

ArMA's just that complex.

You kinding me !!!!

V1.05 = LAG

it'sw not a problem of player but a problem of that guy that do Patch and don't test !!!!!!

Hi Exaercase

This is the troubleshooting thread. It deals in solutions.

You have been given some troubleshooting advice. It was given honestly and fairly it tells you what settings to put on ArmA to increase your view distance to 6km with an 8800 card by someone who has an 8800 card.

1.05 with the new beta patch alows you to run ArmA at a 6km view distance. ArmA is the first and currently the only FPS game that will allow you to run a game at these view distances. To do this need to adjust your display to optimise it.

If you want run everything very high reduce your view distance to 300m same as BF CS and other FPS.

Kind Regards walker

Hello Again,

I think i've not be very clear so i beg your pardon but :

I have not change my config between V1.04 and V1.05 (and V1.05Beta also) the config is :

Resolution : 1280X1024

View Dist : 1200 (and not 6Km)

All Advance Seting is on High (not Very High)

And with this config in V1.4 (V1.04 35-45 FPS) i have 20 FPS more than in V1.05 (and V1.05 beta) (V1.05 15-25 FPS) in the same condition (same mission same place and same peapole on screen) and in all situation (all mission, campaign etc ..)

Best Reagrds, ExA

in 1.05 the postprocessing is a killer. some gained 20-30 fps by just setting it to low.

8800 users only.

Ok in EXTENSIVE testing, terrain above low seems to overload even an 8800 if other options are high.

You can run shadows VERY HIGH, as it appears the 8800 then handles them direct not the CPU, any other setting bar OFF works less well on the 8800.

Terrain, LOW or VERY LOW if you want VD above 800m and better than 30 FPS. (buts shadows maxed and SSAA on etc)

Shaders 105 max new beta Normal (now more trees etc show maxing that severelly tests your PC).

Texure Filter Very high

Texture size Normal. high or very high can cause crashes on many machine even with 8800.

PP Low, you can set it high but you may lag stutter in the bushes / forest in multiplayer.

HDR 32, seems to work better on 8800 in 105 and beta.

Objects Very high.

105 changed the way the game worked, then new beta did it again. No machines can run everything maxed at 1280x1024 and not get frame stuttuer lag under ceratain conditions. The above allow me 6km VD in beta and smooth 30+ FPS stable gameplay.

I use AA normal now not high very high. I'm running SSAA and very high can cause lag in grass etc.

why moderator don't stop those topics ?

there are a lot of topics about lower performance after 1.05 patch

i also had in 1.02 all set highest,now 1.05 i have low settings (dualcore, nvidia 7900, 2 gb ram), i thought that i will uninstall game because it became unplayable

but please use "search" in topics to not create another topic about the same
