So here's my problem,
After the implementation of battleye in the previous beta patch I have been unable to play on BE enabled servers due to tremendous FPS lag spikes (Every 1.5-2 seconds the game freezes for half a second).
SP and MP servers without BE enabled run totally fine.
Solutions tried thus far
- Reinstalling Arma 3
- Verifying integrity on steam
- Manually installing BE files from website
- Removing all Anti Virus Software (that is removing and not just disabling) as suggested in other threads - that seems to be the solution for others with the same problem
- Disabling Windows Firewall
- Disabling Windows Defender
- All manner of graphical setups on Nvidia Panel and in game
- changing to GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; in the CFG file
I had exactly the same issue with Arma 2 however the removal of Avast solved the problem for me there.
