Wow, that is very bad news. I will always remember him as one of the key members of the OFPEC team. In the days when OFPEC was going down hill he was one of the key people to stand up and be willing to keep on going. He was important in keeping the more temperament-full people like Bedges and myself from blowing up OFPEC over trivial feuds, petty brawls and minor setbacks. Thereby allowing OFPEC to survive an thrive. To you sir, I take my had off. You will be remembered and missed.

Are you running any background tasks, how much memory do they eat up? Look at those kind of things. For example what virusscanner are you running? Try disabling it and run the game again, does that make a difference? Ow and btw, I run it on winXP. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Wow too bad I didn't notice this thread before ... You guys just made my day. Are you actually serious??? You are kidding, right??

To be honest those suggestions are not really needed!, the games runs quite well on my pentium D 930. It might run worse if you have a pentium d 8**, they perform a bit worse. I only have 3gb of RAM and use a gf9600, which is OC-ed. Anyway, I can play the game on (all) high settings at 1280 * 1024, view distance 1800, with a fillrate of 100% with only the occasional hiccup. I advice you clean up your machine (do defrags, get some free diskspace, etc, etc.) before considering upgrading.

Hmm, I have the starforce edition so that shouldn't be an issue here. Then again starforce is probably even worse!

Has anyone actually tried running an ArmA server on wine? And if so, were you successful?

That would only be true if XP didn't use any of that 1GB RAM at all.

No need to reinvent the wheel, we already have ofpec.

afaik the MAG, GPMG & M240 are based off the german MG42 rather than the bar. Both right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_MAG

yes, that's what he's sysop for, right?

odd, makes me wonder why it seems to work just fine on my machine.

Having only one stick of RAM may well be your problem, unless the ram runs at 800 mhz (which is unlikely). Buying a second stick of RAM, making sure everything runs in Dual channel, may seriously help your performance.

Well, psu's have nothing to do with your suggested fix. Anyway, on the topic of psu's, I suggest you take a look here: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp If you fill it in you'll see 600W is over the top. 385W may be a bit short tho. I suggest you buy a good 500W supply from an A brand manufacturer. Reading this may also help.

I highly doubt this will fix anything for arma, using the method of timing isn't used in modern games. (Remember the old games that ran faster on a new pc.) Setting the affinity is also unlikely to work, since windows will send the game process to the least busy core.
