Unwanted software is under control, I keep poweriso, steam, razericon, logitech g15 app, creative sound control, smart security, and msi afterburner running, those are not even noticable with an i7 overclocked to 4.1... Arma 2 OC runs off a brand new crucial c300 120gb drive with latest firmware so not worried about defragments on that, and windows 7 im running has an automatically scheduled defrag of the 10,000 rpm occur every week. I think it has a lot to do with that server, I got into single player and was getting great performance even with night vision on, 1900x1200 resolution.

Cool I already installed that to get a mod, but didn't know it could do that. I'll check it out and see if I can get it to do that. Thanks for the heads up!

windows 7, and im running arma 2 oa on steam, I don't believe I have to apply patches it should automatically pull the latest. I just put in another overclocked gtx 580 and corsair ax1200 psu, I'm baffled by this game, it still runs piss poor, excuse my language. Last night while a server was nearly empty it ran great... strange, I always keep an eye on my GPU % LOAD and it goes up and down... I wish someone at nvidia would look into this.

I'm about one and a half weeks into playing arma 2 operation arrowhead that I got on steam. I have spent half that time fiddling with controls and video settings. It runs not bad, but there is major lag and poor performance on some areas. My definition of poor performance is anything below 60 FPS. Overall it's good, but there is this one bug that's been annoying me so much, that I had to make a hot key macro on my keyboard for it, the shift minus key flush. The game will start lagging out intermittently, id say about every 15 to 30 minutes, this is mostly on multi player Domination 2 map that I've been playing, but I've seen this occur in some of the life mods. My frames drop to about 10 - 15 FPS and stays that way until I hit the flush hot key. I have MSI afterburner running on my g15 lcd screen and I can tell that when this starts to happen the GPU % LOAD goes down to 5%. Can someone tell me what's going on with this crap performance? I'm fairly experienced with computers, I've been taking them apart for 17 years, so I got my head in this but I just don't know what else to try. So without further a due here's the fraps of it happening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmbWZvushMc It looks like a LOD problem, because now that I think about it, when I look at something very far in a scope the model of it seems like it's poorly rendered to save space.

Can we get a queuing system in multi player so we can join full server when a spot opens, or have a ticket system, when your ticket is called you can join. I'm a new player, and I've done some searching on the internet and I've come to the conclusion that nobody has pursued this idea to the full extent. Can I get some feedback as to what's good and bad about this idea? Maybe you might even know of such feature that exists somewhere, if you would share that with the community I would be in debt to you.
