I don't post on the forums much but I had to sign in just to say congratulations to the devs for this. It really is a game changer. Amazing how smooth the game is with long view distance. Stuttering has basically been eliminated. Gameplay remained smooth even as FPS dropped into the 30s during heavy combat. This opens up so many possibilities. Jets and helicopters can now engage at realistic ranges. Jets DLC anyone? Still obviously a WIP but really looking forward to finished product now.

I'm curious, what GPU do you have, and if Nvidia, what driver version are you running?

I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing poor performance after the update. I ran some Fraps tests before and after the update. Video Settings: 1920x1080, Ultra preset, Vsync ON. Arma 3 1.16 Showcase>Combined Arms Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg 8860, 166109, 29, 64, 53.338 Arma 3 1.18 Showcase>Combined Arms Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg 7387, 163239, 17, 63, 45.253 My system specs: Intel 4770k @4.3Ghz 16GB RAM 1600 Geforce GTX 780ti Crucial M4 SSD Nvidia Driver: 335.23 I hope the devs are taking this seriously as this is extremely disappointing to get such bad performance after an update. It wouldn't be so bad if we could actually roll back to 1.16. Its not only just a drop of 10 fps for me but also plenty of stuttering, etc. as others have mentioned. I've tried reinstalling the game from scatch, reinstalling my video drivers, installing nvidia beta drivers (337.50) and nothing has made it better.
