Hi, DayZ has promoted the Arma2 heavily and assuming a part of the players already had the game before, i am sure a fair portion of the 950.000 x $20 people paid for a licence would be invested well in improved security. i guess it is due to rising popularity of DayZ Mod that hacking or using scripts has increased. General answer in the Dayz Forum is, Battleye Guys are responsible for security. I am aware this is 'only' the Bohemia forum but i would like to raise some awareness. I still would like to point out the fact that that issue has increased dramatically and i feel the community of players throughout all arma games would silently appreaciate if we had more guides on how to administrate Servers properly. So if there already is any nice topic on this, i did not find by searching, also would ask this community to help, gather a proper guide for administrating servers or point me in the right direction

After this remark i even temporarily uninstalled and tested just to find the spike jump core again :D

Hello again, thanks for your advice, i have tested with startup parameters each at a time, then combined and then Arma2OA without having DayZ loaded. Tested scenarios were on Chernarus: Superpowers and Armory. I also have footage of the cpu load spike jumping cores although i set affinity to only 1 core for a few of the tests. I have been reading these forums since May to optimize performance, and i still am not sure if arma in the meantime got patched to that level that it auto detects Multiple Cores and adjusts threads.. or if it still is necessary to use the parameters.

Hello everybody, i would like to ask the Forums about solutions of my problem. I noticed recently ( Friday, 13th - beta 94945) that my Arma tends to have mini lags. ( 2-5 sec ) When having a look on the CPU Load in Task Manager, i could see the CPU load on the first core, arma is being run at, dropped to about zero and another core load started going up. A few seconds later, second core's load spike dropped again and appears on the first core as it was before. That are the moments i have the lag, game is freezing completely for a while. So i hope there is a relation between lag and cpu core load spikes. I did not have this issue before i reinstalled* Arma2 & ArmaOA on Friday. -> incl. complete wipe of registry and using steam for installation. I would like to provide footage of the task manager cpu load tab having the spike jump cores, but for now, take my word that the timing fits the laggy moments. ----------------- edit: ----------------- CPU: Phenom II x6 clocked to 3.4 GHz OS: Win7 GPU: 560ti Game Video Settings: VideoMemory: Default Resoultion 1920x1080 No Postprocessing Reproduced lag at both maxed and min. of the other Video options. excluding shadow. -------- edit: -cpucount=6 -exthreads=7 both introduced one at a time until mini lag occured, then together and had same results. :( -------- Arma patch level: same effect for 9876 and 94945 Anything else i can provide just reply, i will monitor this thread.
