Regarding context, does an unattributed sig quote require annotation for context? Would you prefer i attribute the quote to you and hot-link the page so readers can judge context? I will with your permission. Regarding "....don't expect me to reply to you anymore." Reference: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147533-Low-CPU-utilization-amp-Low-FPS/page234 Where you ask me: So after dl'ing fraps, running benchmarks, compiling specs & setting at your request, i still wait for a reply from you a week later. Were you trolling me then?

Not amusing, no. I find the quote candid, truthful and given in good faith. It's sig worthy because it is ..., candid, truthful and given in good faith. Trouble shooting is often subjective..., the goal-posts shift depending on point of view. Your quote is a useful subjective benchmark.

Maybe they run a lower screen rez than you to push out the view distance? ps- thx for my new sig.

Ever install 'sweetFX'? Or any other injector into the a3 folder?

".... I'm forced to play on 1500 VD on my 3770K 4.4GHz, 16GB ram, GTX670 rig just to get stable 50's with dips to 40...." And there it is.

Bis has a proprietary engine and brand recognition to foster and protect. There is a limit..., F.U.B.A.R.

A 2000m kill shot would be a top ten world record shot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_recorded_sniper_kills "EXTREMELY hard" may be overly optimistic.

Yeah, was thinking it might be a translation mix-up? I can see..., 'intend to'..., or, 'desire to',,,or even. 'really really want to'. But, 'promise to'? --What if he crossed his fingers behind his back? If true, "Promise" would be a very poor choise of words.

Depends ..., if the high-end user will only run the game at MAX resolution, MAX view, ULTRA setting, my low-end rig might best them in a benchmark. Bis doesn't have anything to do with it, safe for allowing ultra settings. Some people believe strongly they are entitled to run max/ultra settings because of the sticker on the front of their case.

Well Congraz! May want to edit title with [Fixed].

SweetFX injector? How did the injector remain after 3 clean re-installs?

".... help me! I'm having some trouble with my game! I made a mission with a couple mods but not sure if the mods are really responsible for the CTD's I'm getting...." Does the game ctd without the mods?

w00t!

32-bit OS? How much Ram? Size of pagefile? [edit] Forgot: How much available ram?

Here comes the obscure German study PROVING the human eye can detect 60fps.

First, i'd like to thank you for posting your specs up-front. Getting specs 'round here is like pulling teeth from a hen. I see you're from NY. I'm from Queens, so as i pick at the specs, your gonna wanna answer the question, "Do you want to play the game or do you want to f@&k around?" Let's start: GPU: GTX 770 CPU: AMD Eight-Core Processor (overclocked to 4.4GHz - also watercooled) RAM: 12G HDD: 220G Samsung SSD PSU: 650W Corsair *Monitor/Resolution: 23.6" LED Monitor / 1920x1080 / 60Hz or 59Hz / 16:9* Drop the rez down to something starting at 12xx, 13xx, or 14xx. If you want to play the game, this is where the only large boost in frames is coming from. This is where you can limit textels and even see cpu/gpu work harder. Raise refreshrate to 75hzs. Mouse & Keyboard: Razer Naga Hex & Logitech G105 Headset: Logitech G230 (also TrackIR TrackClip Pro attached) Rudder Pedals: Pro Flight Rudder Pedals by Saitek In-Game Settings *VSync: Disabled ..., if you like wild frame tearing, leave it. i use nvidia half-refresh, t-buff on. Sampling: 100% *Texture: Ultra..., no *Cloud Quality: Ultra Shadows: Standard *Dynamic Lights: Ultra..., no *Particle Quality: Ultra or Very High..., yeah if you got frames to spare under load. HDR Quality: Standard *PPAA: SMAA High..., off, use nvidia setting *Post-Processing: Ultra..., off *PIP: Ultra..., hell no Objects: Low (cannot get solid 30 frames or more with any higher settings) Terrain: Low or Standard Overall View Distance: 1800..., maybe increase if you're a pilot..., for a grunt, 1000m. Object Draw Distance: 1450 or 1200 ATOC: All or None *SSAO: Ultra..., off *Antialiasing: Ultra..., 8x, use nvidia 32xCSAA Anisotropic Filtering: Ultra..., off, use nvidia 16x Once you have decent frames, then try upping the eye-candy. So, do you want to play the game or what?

And without posting your full specs and settings, there is no way anyone can help you.

Well done. Was thinking 'bout the 280 sli problem. Maybe try a legacy older driver? Like a earlier dx11 or late dx10? 'Cause on these new drivers, doubt they're running Q&A for the 280s. Also, have you posted on the m17 forum? Any ideas there? [edit] Oh..., try hitting auto-detect thru ingame settings.

Nik, have you tried lowering your rez to gain frames? What resolution you running?

Ok, you want to go thru the steps leading to the crash? Here's some random stuff : "just disable at NVIDIA Control Panel underl "Stereoscopic 3D" the stereoscopic 3D feature that seems will enable by default during update" http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?158185-Arma-3-Cant-launch-at-Windows-Blue-8-1-x64&highlight=windows [edit] Also, did steam run vcredist_x86.exe and dxsetup.exe on the reinstall? Dxsetup.exe is in the a3 folder, but no clue for the vcredist_x86.exe.

Doesn't matter, it's an 'Appeal to Numbers' to bolster a weak or false arguement. "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." My favorite is, "...every player gets connected-automatically steals from me ~2 FPS" --an 'appeal to self-interest' or Avarce that's making the rounds in another thread as we speak. Giorgy knows his philosophy and his satirical tour-de-farce is great fun. And isn't it better to laugh at ignorance than dispair? Thanks again Giorgy for the laugh.

Gentlemen, we are in the presence of a Master. Bravo sir, Bravo!

Ahh, so the updates won't hurt and may help. Be sure to restart the rig after updating and think about a full defrag down the line. Keep us posted....

Is everything working now? If it's all ok now, maybe wait for the dust to settle on these hotfixes?
