It probably takes up more resources to be connected to an MP game. I remember games in the past stating that the multiplayer experience wouldn't be as good as in SP.

Bulldogs 10 Posted August 3, 2009 Many of the settings are set based on the server (IE; view distance, terrain detail, etc), best thing you can try is to lower the resolution and see if it runs any better, also test several different servers to see if one runs better than the others (if they have AI enabled on a server it tends to slow you down) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akilez 10 Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Pardon my boldness but the best idea is to quit counting those dadblasted frames every single cotton pickin' second like your life depended on it. If you hear nothing else please hear this--->"The very act of measuring frames slows them down. Turn OFF your frame counters and go enjoy the game." Unless you are seeing a slide show type slicker quit looking for something that will only make you crazy and lower the quality of your experience. Out . . . . .

ICE-Raver 10 Posted August 3, 2009 My FPS is capped at 33 as well. Has been on 3 builds that I have used on this game. I can run the game full out now. Highest settings, 1680 x 1050 and I get a rock solid 33 fps that never moves. The game runs phenomenal so I'm not too pissed about it, I would just like to know how many frames I can get for my own knowledge. I've tried everything I know and I can't figure out what the hell is capping it. My squadmate is running a similar system and we went over every setting and matching them up and his is uncapped while mine is capped at 33. Very strange.

caen1944 10 Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Folks, Interestingly, I have the same problem as you guys. My framerate (from FRAPS) caps at 29. In cases of heavy graphics use it might dip a bit, but it never goes over 29. I tried fiddling around with the nvidia settings but can't seem to break this. Everything looks nice but a little choppy during movement. I hope we find a solution. My system specs are: Core i7 - 3.33 Ghz 6 Gbyte memory 2x 8800GTS 512 SLI Vista x64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nazul 10 Posted August 5, 2009 You should be happy with 33fps , this isn't a twitch shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randir14 10 Posted August 5, 2009 Same here. Capped at 60 in SP, 30 in MP. AMD 7850 @ 3.0 ghz 4 gigs kingston hyperX ram ATI 4850 512 mb Windows 7 64 bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tankkiller01 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah lots of people are having the same problems, hopefully they patch it out or something. An interesting thing though, last night i was on domination and it was capped at 33fps, then went on to a pvp bazerk map with around 55 players on and it was not capped and was getting nice fps of 35 to 55 fps, WIERD. So maybee it server dependant. Also you are right Nazul it is a more slow paced simulator than a call of duty type .. ____________________ Intel core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3.1Ghz BFG Tech GTX 285 OC to core 674MHz. shader 1535MHz. mem 1247MHz Asus P5N-D 750i 4 GB Corsair DDR2 XMS 800 EZ COOL 700W psu Maxtor HDD Windows Vista 64bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted August 5, 2009 I'd suggest giving Windows 7 RC 7100 (or the RTM) a try if you are indeed using Vista. I had the same issues as well as a few others when using Vista, where I couldn't crack that 33fps in MP regardless of any change in settings or resolution. Now I get a rather comfortable 40fps average except when I'm in the larger towns. I imagine if turn a setting or two down that it'd improve, but I'm happy with the current results. You should have something similar if not better since my card is a 9800gtx and i'm still on a Q6600, and neither are even OC'd at the moment. Can't guarantee it'll work, but it seems anything is better than Vista when running ArmA2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeep 3 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) You should be happy with 33fps , this isn't a twitch shooter. Agreed, but there is a downside to such low fps that translates into sluggish mouse movement. It's not that i want twitch-like shooting, but i do want mouse movement to be fair. Not 'underwater movement'. Edited August 5, 2009 by zeep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe_M. 10 Posted August 5, 2009 If you hear nothing else please hear this--->"The very act of measuring frames slows them down. Turn OFF your frame counters and go enjoy the game." LOL, you're not trying to tell us, that fps-counting will redruce the frame rate by an noticable amount?!? I never noticed any difference in any game. If it has any impact, it is negligible. Actually I turned fps-counting on, because I wasn't satisfied with the frame rate and ArmA2 for sure doesn't run any faster, when fps-counting is turned off. Turning on the fps-counting only confirmed my impression... Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pardon my boldness but the best idea is to quit answering post if you are not going to help. The guy has a problem and he wants people's help. I also get my fps capped and there isn't anything in these forums that has fixed it for me. The game is very choppy for me in multiplayer, I get between 14 - 30 fps and it's for this reason the game is sitting on a shelf gathering dust.

Marburg u 10 Posted August 8, 2009 You lucky bastard. I'm capped @ 25 fps. No metter what resolution or details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no use for a name 0 Posted August 8, 2009 I've never seen this issue...I usually only get ~30fps anyways; but it goes from 25-60 during multiplay. I only play coop on one server, so it could be several different things like a server, game-mode, or windows setting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cionara 10 Posted August 9, 2009 Often the servers are the issue, they will cap your frames by their performance I think. Also many missions set the object detail and landscape-detail for you. So of course your fps won't change if you change settings because the mission settings are used. I'am annoyed, too of some missions. Like Berzerk, I can play at the same spot with 85fps with landsacpe detail low (means there is grass) and object detail very low (doesnt look bad but gives lot of fps) and the rest very high,VD 3800. But the mission sets my landscape to normal/high and raises object detail that my fps drop to 35-60 maximum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rogue221 10 Posted August 9, 2009 I too have capped Fps. 60 on the island, 29 at campaign, and 31 in multiplayer. Something to do with the game. Doesnt matter were I am on the map. Not that big a deal because I run everything at max. I'm going to turn on AA and see if it drops. ---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ---------- Weird, same fps with 2x AA.

Cionara 10 Posted August 9, 2009 Capped 60 is because of Vertical Syncronisation and that is alright, because human eye won't notice fps higher then that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rogue221 10 Posted August 9, 2009 Ok this is weird. THe fps drop to 25 in campaign so I turned AA back off. Now I have 54 fps in the woods. I'm at the Napa base on the Delaying the bear mission. Weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shataan 1 Posted August 9, 2009 "Capped 60 is because of Vertical Syncronisation and that is alright, because human eye won't notice fps higher then that." That is a lamer excuse for capping. I guess we should all just go back to the Dark Ages of gaming? Peeps PAY for the right of having the hardware to PUSH way past 60 fps. And higher fps is actually better for you physically. Your eye muscles get easilly fatigued by anything 60 hz and below. Ask anyone who has worked behind a monitor for years at 60 hz, and then changed to 75 or higher. Gaming is smoother, and your eyesight is way way less compromised. I notice smoother gameplay at 75 hz and higher, and I FEEL that smoother gameplay. I got a Samsung 2233RZ JUST so I can play this game at 120 hz @ 1680x1050. hehhhehhe Once BIS starts bring out the performance fixes along with the bug fixes, many will be seeing better performance alround.

ChrisAA 10 Posted August 10, 2009 I can get to the vert-sync max of 60 in multiplayer, except if I get 60 the screen flashes so I need to force my game to run badly, ironic? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
