delevero 10 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Please make STICKY Dear Forum For a long time my computer had been unstable playing arma2 and crashed alot. I read many treads on the forum and realized that many people had problems when running a Core i7 cpu and arma. The solution to this problem is rather simple. You have to enter BIOS when you start your computer ( PRESS Delete ) and then somewere you have to find and DISABLE the feature named "HT" or " hyper threading" Since i did this my arma have been rock steady and i do not even need all the extensions like -winxp - maxmem=XXX or compability mode ect. Also if you do this you do not have to disable PHYSX or Vertical sync. arma will run. Thought i share my experience with other players. Try it out, maybe it work for you also, who knows :bounce3: My system Core i7, cpu 940 12gb ddr3 ram.

galzohar 31 Posted August 26, 2009 Due to how the game doesn't run a lot of threads, I can't see how it's going to hurt anyone to disable hyperthreading. I've definitely seen a performance increase on AI-heavy situations with hyperthreading disabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've definitely seen a performance increase on AI-heavy situations with hyperthreading disabled. With the last few beta builds, you need only use the -cpucount=4 switch. I didn't buy i7's to disable one of their major features. Having, said that, if all you do is game, you probably won't notice a huge difference. It's a different story when it comes to certain apps.

galzohar 31 Posted August 26, 2009 Yeah, I don't really do anything that runs 8 heavy threads, so hyperthreading is useless to me, at least at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
