shmallow

Well I put the swapfile on an SSD. I had an SSD that I couldn't use because I didn't have a spare sata cable, so I just recently bought them so I could put ARMA on it. Right now I have ARMA and the swap file on it.

Yeah, moved it to my SSD and it didn't fix it, so I moved my swapfile to a unused disk and made it much bigger. I'm not getting practically any stutters now. I used steam mover to move ARMA, for some reason just copy+pasting wasn't keeping newer beta patches. Thanks for the help everyone!

My swap file is full, but it isn't on the same hard drive as ARMA. I do have a SSD already, would it solve all my problems if I moved my arma over to my SSD? I didn't mean the hourglass in game (in fact windows doesn't use the hourglass anymore so I probably shouldn't of said that.) The game freezes and the window becomes not responding for about 10-20 seconds, then it goes back to normal.

I've been having this problem that I really hope someone here can help me with. When I run operation arrowhead (for dayz) and play I get game freezes and stutters. Sometimes they last for 1 second, sometimes they last for 20 seconds and the screen becomes grayed out and I get the hourglass. I'm not sure what the problem is, my computer can definitely handle this game. My CPU is an i7 950 and I have a gtx 560ti. I had read that my freezing could have been caused by hyperthreading, but I disabled it and nothing changed (then I also found out that problem had already been solved with an older patch.) So i'm at a loss. I've set the video options as low as they go and I still get it, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've made sure that there were no background applications running that could possibly be slowing me down. Is anyone else having this problem? EDIT: Also, I'm running the newest arma 2 build 95417. It was occurring on a previous version as well.
