Patch 1.03?

why?? are all your settings on max? mine doesnt do this, i get a little lag in the big cities but not any where near 3-5 FPS on Normal/High Settings, i would try Defragging and cleaning out the spyware/bugs on your pc, if you have any. thats my only piece of advice. it helped me out a bit

But its not the woods or the graphics at all. I do have an overall performance of around 35 to 50 FPS, but a soon as I enter Chernogorsk or Elektrozvadlovsk area the frames drop down to 3-5 FPS. Even in smaler villages the frames drop down to 20 or below.

I run it on 8800GTX and Q6600 all on high and I get around 28 FPS average. I don't have such dramatic slowdowns. I do lose some FPS in chernogorsk, but 3 to 5 fps ? Below 20 in small villages ? Never had that...

Note : I can have a small temp "freeze" from time to time in cities, but then it's back to normal. It's quite different from 3 FPS over a long time period.

You got me right ? I don't think so ! Once the woods around Chernogorsk would look like the woods in Crysis I will accept max. 25FPS in ArmA 2. But honestly, there are worlds between the Crysis and the ArmA 2 engine.

I'm glad the woods don't look that good, getting shot through 100 meters of solid rainforest foliage would suck.

1.03, 1.04, 1.05 and so on, there will always be one thing which is totally screwed.

Still good though..

Just thought Id say that I noticed setting texture details to Normal and vid memory to very high caused alot less lag/stutter in those large cities.

GTX260 OC.

I have the following hardware running a fully patched game on a fresh Vista 64 install:

> 2.66GHz Intel C2Q

> 4GB DDR2 800

> Nvidia 9800 GX2

> Asus Xonar

At the following settings:

> 1920x1200

> 1600m view distance

> 4x AA

> All settings on HIGH except post processing which is set to LOW

and i estimate i get an average of 25 FPS, varying between 20 and 35 frames per second, which i find pretty playable.

Really m8 you dont need to pick up your pitch fork and join in with a pointless post.

It's funny isn't it, when I close these "where is patch blah blah" as soon as they start, I get called a fascist/nazi/despot, then when I leave them open we see what happens.

I think it's time to bow to my 8 years experience here and admit I'm always right ok? ;)

That's a joke in case anyone's not sure :)
