I've just had the update, and unfortunately Arma 3 has gone from working perfectly to having serious problems for me. The first problem is that the screen seems to be tearing whether I have vsync enabled or not. The second is that my FPS has dropped by around 20 with exactly the same settings. I've tried the new HDAO and that doesn't seem to change anything. I get random FPS drops all the time, almost like the game is loading a new area, and then the FPS jumps back up again. All the while the screen is tearing, especially when looking at the floor. Here are my system specs:- I7 2600K @ 4.4ghz 2 x GTX 570 SLI 8GB Corsair XMS 3 Asus Xonar DG Corsair HX850W PSU Game is loading from a crucial M4 256gb SSD, and is running at 1920 x 1080. As mentioned, I haven't changed any settings or startup parameters since the patch dropped. Previously, I was getting a solid 60fps in singleplayer and around 40fps even on crowded servers. Now I am getting somewhere in the region of 30-50 fps in singleplayer and very variable FPS in multi (haven't tested this much). The screen tearing is also pretty unbearable tbh. I never had tearing before the patch whatever my FPS was. It could be just a driver issue for SLI as I know the lighting engine has had some tweaks, but is anybody else experiencing problems of this nature since the patch dropped? It's just so weird, as the game was working perfectly this morning and this afternoon it seems to be borked completely.

I think you're right, Invisibull. Are you using SLI by any chance? Just wondering whether it's a driver issue? If not, I guess we'll just have to wait for a hotfix etc. I've sent in a support ticket on this issue and will let you know what comes back.

Just to let everyone know, I've tried the game with vsync "on" and triple buffering "on" in the Nvidia control panel, and this seems to be an effective fix. Performance certainly seems to improve too. I usually use gamebooster, but this seems to interfere with the settings in NVP, but without it seems to be pretty much back to normal.

Hey, this mod looks really cool. Wondering if you're still working on it? Grats on the work so far. ---------- Post added at 15:22 ---------- Previous post was at 15:21 ---------- This looks really cool, I was wondering if you were still working on it? Grats on the work so far!
