Hi Domokun thanks for the reply, Yes I have tried all the tweaks listed, and I realize that my cpu is on the slow side, however I also realize that running on the lowest settings should provide me with a playable experience at least and not running at 5-10 fps and the suddenly jumping up 60 fps and then dropping back down again, that seems rather odd to me. I have tried all the things you have recommended and I am still getting the issue unfortunately :-(, I have contacted support also so with any luck we can get to the bottom of it by looking at my msinfo etc. I am seriously stumped as to what is causing this behavior, the best way I can describe what is happening is, its as if I am pressing a button on recording software, like fraps and the framerate is dropping low and stuttering and then when I stop the recording it goes smooth again, thats what it is like, even though I am not using recording software but I have experience of doing so, thats the only real comparison I can make.

I recently purchased Arma 2 combined operations on steam to play both the Arma games and Day Z, everything installed perfectly fine, no issues whatsoever. Now before I patched the game for Day Z I tested it to see if it was running smooth, now my system specs are as follows. MSI GX740 Intel core i5-450M dual core at 2.40GHz 8GB of ram HD5870 1GB DDR5 320gb hdd 7200rpm I also run the games I play at 1690x1050 Now I can run most on the highest settings maybe having to tone down the AA or certain other features on a few, but for the most part I run 60 fps on most modern day games. Now getting to the point...I have tried every single tweak recommend online for Arma 2 that I can find, have tried the lowest possible settings imaginable, I have defragged my pc, I have minimized as many windows services as possible, I do this regularly anyway because I use this laptop only for gaming and still I get massive framerate drops on arma and day z both singleplayer and online. Let me explain what happens, first of all I get into a game, it starts out 60 fps, after about 15-30 seconds even stood still in the same spot, it will drops to slideshow framerate, literally between 3-8 fps, it will stay that way for another 10 seconds or so then boom, speeds right back up again, I have monitored my cpu its running fine, no issues there, monitored my gpu fine no issues there either and still even after uninstalling both games and redownloading, pre patch and after patch I am STILL getting these issues. Can anybody please give me any recommendations to fix this? I have also tried uninstalling my graphics drivers (im running 12.6 mobility at the moment) and reinstalling them and still no improvement. Like I say this happens in no other games that I have whatsoever, can anybody help me, I am at breaking point with this now. Many thanks.
