I'm new to ARM2, I've had the game for awhile..but everytime I play it, the whole thing's laggy and skippy..no matter what I do it just plays REALLY laggy, I have a newish computer..so that shouldn't be the problem..can anyone help me? Also I have a 360 game controller that works for it..but I seem to have trouble with it..since for some reason it won't let me twick the controllers...so I don't know what does what. :( Any help will be great thanks!

Maybe it would be an idea to put your specification with the question..

Post your computer specs, and also what are your graphics settings, what else are you running,
are you in the editor with 500 AI ingame, alot of things can make it laggy all depends.

new-ish computer doesnt say anything, you can buy a brand new computer that uses the intel integrated gpu and not be able to run at all.

To get your system specs up on screen, click start and in the search bar type DXDIAG and press enter.

A window should appear with lots of information.

The main bits we nerdy lot need...

Under the 'system' tab, we need the 'processor' and the 'ram'

Under the display tab we need the 'chip type'

Theres lots more bits n bobs that can make arma run well, but if these core components dont make the grade, Looks like ur newish pc aint gonna be able to do it.

Make sure that you defrag your HDD, since a fragmentated HDD can cause some stuttering/lag while playing since a lot of stuff is loaded from the HDD into the memory.
