magmus 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Hi, i've been playing arma 2 for a while, all my graphics are fine they work flawlessly but the next day i go on arma2, it's heavley lagging! So i checked the graphics settings and they are normal so i restarted my pc, put arma2 on the lowest settings possible and restarted arma 2 , it was 100x worse! Any help on this strange thing will be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fincuan 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Trial and error really, depending on your system. You must also remember that lowering the settings doesn't necessarily result in better performance. Let's take shadows for example: Low quality shadows don't look that good and eat performance. Set shadow quality to high, and it uses a different method of drawing/calculating them which results in better looking shadows and less performance hit. Go figure :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magmus 10 Posted October 9, 2009 That doesn't answer why it started suddenly lagging the next day, i just want to know why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fincuan 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Changed anything in your graphics card's control panel? For example Anti-aliasing has a huge impact on Arma2 performance and Anisotropic filtering some kind of impact, and both should be set to "Application controlled"(Ati, might be something else in with Nvidia) to get the best results. Otherwise you can experience performance drops or other weird things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magmus 10 Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks so much! I recently updated my drivers which also updated catalyst control center which messed up the settings, so i toned them down and it worked! Many credits to Fincuan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
