My rage post is what it is - a rage post. I do not expect any help or assistance. My video game experience tells me: if a game has issues after 1 year since release - it will never get better. I am not trying to gain 5 FPS, by messing with .ini files, reverting drivers, updating my bios and all that nonsense. I expect a year old game to run smoothly, at least on the lowest possible settings, on a system that exceeds the optimal system requirements. Can you honestly, without any prejudice, tell me there are no issues with the ARMA2 performance?.. Its a rhetorical question, i do not expect you to answer that. As much as i want to disprove you clever observations regarding my IT knowledge, i will restrain myself from doing so. There are countless articles on ARMA2 low performance, made both by PC enthusiasts and hardware magazines. I just wish for BI to prioritize these issues as critical, and in future, deliver a well baked product, instead of trying to jump over their heads, and cook a highly promising but raw meal... I still love BI titles. I will play them, same way as i would get laid with a crippled Megan Fox. I just need to cover the ugly parts - the rest is awesome.

MY RAGE POST: Bought ARMA2 when it came out, few years ago, and performance was crap. Now i bought the 2 expansions for Arrowhead, and was hoping that performance got optimized. I was wrong. Game is laggy and annoying to play... Here is my PC: Intel i7 OCZ Platinum 6 GB ( 2 x 3 ) Asus GeForce GTX 275 Vista 64 Bit I know its not the top of the line, i had it for a year or so, but it is not a crappy system... BF:BC2 runs on highest details with 0 fps drops. It runs perfect. Yes, Takistan is huge compared to any BF map, but damn, why would they even bother to make a game that lags on ANY PC at the time the game was released?... Why?? Its a fcking medieval torture to look at the screen! Ferrari or Porsche are not making cars that have 30000 HP on paper, but with engines that cuts out every 100 m, or gearbox that jerks your car around constantly... Just for fun, i have lowered all my graphics settings to low, changed the resolution down to 1280x1024, changed the view distance to 1000 m, and ran a "benchmark mission". Average of 62 FPS... :butbut: Textures were popping in my face, visuals were crap, and still i only made 62 FPS. On Medium settings ( with 4500 m view distance, my PC produced only 27 FPS :confused: ... Its just unacceptable! There are some players out there, who can play with under 30 FPS, and think its all good. Well, i can live with an occasional drop to 30 FPS for 0.1 sec, but anything above that makes me want to throw my PC out of the window and beat the living shit out of the game developers. I love the original Operation Flashpoint, i still have it on my PC, and i had big hopes for the new game engine, but it failed miserably... My penis can write a better code for this game.
