Alright Guys I made a little test mission to see what every ones usage is at- Open the editor and place a single unit and check ur usage and FPS- Then play this and check it http://www.mediafire.com/?23tsbimhxlndzqc.. My usage was 12-22 % and I got 10 fps.. why does your GPU just die with lots of ai :confused:

285.72 Nvidia Driver, i5 760 @ 4.0ghz

Exactly! There has to be some kind of way to fix this:(

Any reason why that when the battle heats up- Usage goes down?

Tried putting on startup Parameters- no luck:( Doesnt look like this is gonna be fixed by 1.60 :( -- http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26297 -- Vote up issue

Gossamer- there's a pretty big thread on the issue with quiet some views on the support forum

Well the thing is this is Only in Multiplayer.. In single player I can play a CPU Challenging mission like Take The island (Intel I5 760 @ 4.0 ghz) and get 90% usage and 30+ FPS (And is very smooth), while on MP if im client or host, If I play a mission with less AI, I get 30% usage, and super choppy FPS (at around 20), really game breaking :(..

Any Ideas on how to fix?

Erg... Well any ways to overcome this or tweaks? -cpucount=4 helped until the server had lots of bots (I was both host and client when testing)

It seems that alot of GTX 400 series users (including me) are getting low GPU usage (and bad FPS because of it).. Any chance that this will be fixed by 1.60 release?

Just tested more with beta patch and the more units there are, the more the usage of the GPU goes down... But I have friends with worse PC's that are getting higher FPS, really annoying :mad:

Okay I just tried the beta.. It fixed the low GPU usage for Takistan, but in chernaus its still 30-40, and 20-25 fps

bump.

I know, but the usage goes down a ton when you look up, but sky rockets up when you look at the ground

I just did another test- In SP when I look straight at the ground my GPU Usage shoots up to 100, and I get 100 FPS, but when I look up, my GPU usage drops down to about 60 and I get 30-45 fps??? BIS Please fix this, ruining the game for me :(... (This is on a empty map)

I dont think its server side- when my friend hosts the game he always gets around 30 fps higher then me- so the server doesnt limit fps, plus I get the same lag when I host a game

Yes, My Gtx 470 is overclocked to the stock speed of the 480 o_0, And my chart looks exactly the same! Another update- I notice as the more bots my missions have, the lower the GPU usage (i5 760 @3.9 GHZ)

Hello, I recently purchased ArmA: Cold War Assault from steam and I'm trying to install one of my favorite mods, Enhanced Configuration Project, but the installer does not recongnize my ArmA: CWA folder and wont install :( The Installer is stuck at the "Choose Folder Location" Stage :( I have tried making fake folders but no luck. As there appears to be no way to bypass this, I was wondering if someone could upload this mod in its folder form onto a site like rapidshare? I would greaty appreciate it :) Thank you :) And please try to include the readme, forgot all the scripts and stuff :rolleyes:

I had this same problem with SLX- All you have to do is right click the Bat file, press edit, and then change the /RES to ArmA Cold War Assualt/ ;)

Hello, me and my friends are playing some arma 2 over hamachi and were trying to find out how to disable grass on the server. Some missions have the option to, but we would like to disable it for all missions (helps with the lag). Any help would be great. P.S this isnt a dedicated server, im just hosting it from the game.

well bassically all of the missions are PBO's and are from CooP map packs, so is there a way to disable it through the server? (so all maps have no grass)

Is there anyway to limit Arma 2 FPS to 30 FPS? I tryed Vsync, but I would love to keep it at 30 fps (for smoother gameplay) Thanks.

Will this limit the FPS to 30?
