Yeah i have a Phenom 9500 2.2 Quad core. Also because i have Arrowhead through steam i just add it in the steam launch options for Arma 2 OA yeah? As far as i can see the Arma2OA.exe in the Steam directory doesn't have a target field.

With adding the -nosplash -cpucount=4 -exThreads=7 launch parametres, do i simply open the properties and launch options of the game through steam and paste -nosplash -cpucount=4 -exThreads=7 in there? Or is there something else i need to do, i say this because i did it and it hasn't made a difference while most other people report big fps increases because of it. Maybe i'm just unlucky and it has no effect for me :confused:

I hope some of the future patches fix these performance issues, because right now I can't figure out why it's running so badly. I'm running Windows 7 x64 AMD Phenom 9500 (2.2ghz Quad Core) 4GB DDR2 Ram ATI 5850 1GB DDR5 And OA runs horribly. At first i was running Visibility - 3050 Video Memory - High Anisotropic Filtering - Normal AA - Low Post processing effects, Terrain and Object Detail - Normal Shadows - High With a 3D resolution at 1920 x 1080. I ran all 3 benchmarks (launching with the combined operations) and got the following average frame rates. Benchmark 1 - 17 FPS Benchmark 2 - 5 FPS Benchmark 3 (the Arrowhead one) - 18 FPS I then changed the Shadow detail to Normal, Post Processing effects to Low and the resolution down to 1120 x 896 as well as making sure VSYNC is disabled and using the -nosplash -cpucount=4 -exThreads=7 launch commands. My Benchmarks were then as follows. Benchmark 1 - 18 FPS Benchmark 2 - 5 FPS Benchmark 3 (the Arrowhead one) - 20 FPS So as you can see i got almost no FPS improvement. It's making the game really difficult to play which is a shame because myself and some clan mates really got into Arma 2 and we are planning on doing the same with Arrowhead. If anyone has any ideas on anything else I can try I'm open to suggestions.
