Hello
I bought a new computer not too long ago, and wanted to try arma 2 again.
I've been playing the campaign with a friend, and we have been trying the different tweaks we found on the forum, but we still get pretty low fps.
My hardware
I7 950
Nvidia 480gtx
6gb DDr3 1600
HDD is Samsung sata2 7200, dont know the model.
Using Windows 7 64bit
We got to the mission Manhattan, but we stopped there. My fps seems to be locked to 25-30 fps, changing settings dosent do anything at all.
25 fps isent a lot, but it dosent feel smooth, playing for a while just gets me a headache. The missions before that one was a little better, but still pretty low fps.
What I tried is -cpucount=4, different settings in the .cfg file, new drivers, 1.05 and the latest beta patch.
Tried to run arma from two disks, but it dident work with just adding -mod=F:\CA;@mod2;@mod3 to the shortcut, changing the folder of course.
I have the steam version, maybe thats why it dident work
It did work with a program I found in the same post as I read that, think it was called link shell extension, but dident really notice a difference.
I have been changing everything to see if it makes a difference, and turning down the graphics settings actually gave me less fps sometimes.
Any help would be appreciated.
After reading some more I found this post, really hope the expansion will be better.
