Covert-OPs

Understood. But the question remains, is there a better performing Arma hosting company that anyone would recommend? I've already spent a ton of money on a new rig to try and make this game run flawlessly, might as well go for the gusto.

Currently we're utilizing Gameservers.com. Do you have any specific recommendations about quality hosting companies for arma servers?

I have the same processor and I still experience issues. As I've stated previously I can run the game at 80FPS but when we get 16 guys on and in a village/town the frames drop to 35. I'd be willing to match up specs and even get on our server together to see what our performance comparisons are.

I've posted my specs before but my computer is pretty decked out and the game is installed on one of my two SSD's. Typically games run at well over 120 FPS, Splinter Cell Blacklist displays(on the highest possible settings) at over 250 most of the time(according to DxTory). And pretty much every game runs around the same FPS. When I play Arma offline I get well over 110 FPS but the second I do an online Co-Op or I enter a multiplayer room my FPS nose dives. Now granted I see spikes of up to 80 FPS but as people begin to join or if we're in a village/town the FPS begins to dive dramatically. I usually end up around 35 to 40 FPS and changing settings has zero affect on FPS. Interestingly enough making changes when there are fewer people in the room(or if I'm alone in the room waiting for guys to join) the changes do have an affect. But it appears something happens with the game as people begin to join that renders them useless. Maybe it has something to do with the games net code but there is clearly something wrong. Being new to the PC landscape my limited experience has demonstrated that developers are extremely helpful and responsive. Updates seem to be plentiful and PC versions seem to have more features, etc. The BI team seemed to be that way from the outside looking in(as a new fan) and I guess I must have missed the boat on this issue. I made several recommendations to friends to get this game because it was like nothing we have ever played before. To say I am disappointed is an understatement and I'm a little embarrassed to address a few of the guys that bought the game on my recommendation because 30 FPS on a PC is quite ridiculous. For BI to not address this issue is alarming to say the least and the way the CEO has responded to some of the people in that Nvidia thread demonstrated obvious denial. All they need to do is look at my rig and see how the game plays online and they would have to realize that there is a glaring issue.

Are they likely to make a statement about this? Given that so many of us are talking about it?

Can you define "stable"? My game is stable but my FPS is not. What kind of FPS are you experiencing?

If the cores were the issue then wouldn't draw distance reduction result in an increase in frame rate? We have done some testing on this and it has zero affect on FPS. As a result, does this not mean that it is a server side issue?

I'm new to this series but I guess I'm a little shocked. The PC landscape is usually filled with great developers that constantly fix their issues. This title is incredible for it's detail and size, I would have thought that this iteration would have had this long standing issue resolved.

That's pretty demoralizing, we'll never be able to play this game as a group and have a decent experience.

Is there any prospect of them paying attention to this thread/issue? I'm new to the Arma series and I don't know how responsive they are to these kinds of issues. It seems as if this affecting an incredibly large amount of players and this issue has been well documented going back 192 pages. Guess I'm just curious whether or not to hold out hope.

I am having the same problem and changing my settings does absolutely nothing to improve FPS. There is another thread stickied already, you may want to post in there as well. Honestly I'm not sure if BI pays attention to these threads but I hope that some attention is paid to all the people talking about this.

So how do the ShackTac guys do it with over 100 guys on their servers? Are they just relegated to 30 FPS?

Typically I get between 80 & 90 FPS, however I see frequent dips to 65FPS. That isn't my issue really, it's when we get into villages or towns where performance really suffers. I'll see speeds between 27 & 35 FPS. Granted some people may not characterize that as poor performance but my PC runs other games well over 120FPS easily. We have our own server hosted via GameServers.com so I don't know if this is a host issue(if you all recommend a different company please let me know) or if this is just wide spread. Interestingly enough, it does not matter what settings I change in-game the FPS remain the same. So there is no tweaking of settings that I can do in-game that increase performance. I can run the game on Ultra or on Low and my FPS stays the same. My Specs: MSI z87 gd-65 i7 4770k w/ h100i 16gb ddr3 1866 ram SLI Gtx 780 superclocked ACX Cooler Coolermaster HAF X

I am very new here, actually transitioning from the console world specifically because of Arma. At any rate, I was hoping to receive instructions(either via PM or here in this thread) on exactly how to setup my files so that this HUD will actually work. I have read all the instructions on the wiki file but I'm not really clear about where exactly to dump certain folders or if to overwrite them, etc. Any help would be much appreciated and I do recognize that it's very noobish and I apologize in advance. Best regards and I look forward to your responses(just not the flaming LOL). Steps I have already taken: 1. Downloaded CBA file and placed it in the main Arma Directory. 2. Downloaded the Hud file and placed in the main Arma Directory.
