I've been playing ArmA 3 for a long time now, ArmA 2(never had any issue with this game ever!) even longer. I understand that the engine is not properly optimised and I am also willing to play on 500m view distance to get a good framerate. (I'd still prefer 1000m+ tho)
That being said, before the latest 64bit update game was terrible but since I only played coop, a little stutter here or there wasn't a huge issue and I never really thought of fixing it. Now it is a bit more weird and inconsistent in performance.
I get 45+ FPS all time and when I am about to enter a village/town/city on Altis my game stutters a bit while loading the textures and stuff, which again is fine by me. But what my problem is, while playing Battle Royale, the game freezes for 2 seconds whenever there I see any enemy in front of me. Of course in that time even a monkey can shoot you considering everyone is pumped up. This makes me avoid any kind of contact with any player the entire round which is not how you play any shooter game. At least not ArmA.
What my question is, is there any way I can at least minimise the occurrence of the stutter while I am in front of an enemy?
