How can a game that runs reasonably smoothly at 45-65 fps offline suddenly go to an unplayable mess at about 22 fps online? These are on Australian servers with good pings at around 40. I tried posting in the troubleshooting board but with no help.
I need answers quickly because I have to return the game to EB within a few days if I can't get it working. It's been very disappointing so far unfortunately.
If I were you I would just be happy for that...Originally Posted by AussieDave
i want the answer to that question but i guess we won't get that yet till later on, so far i think everyone's coming across that , i get 20-30 fps in Multiplayer and max fps of 60 in ArmA 2 in editor

I was told by someone that the server sets certain things like draw distance so that it's an even playing field. If it makes it like 10k then everyone suffers.
I managed to play arma1 with 10fps online just fine, if you put your fps counter off you wont notice what fps you are at anyway.
Having problems with editing missions try the following sites:

this isn't playable, trust me. the FRAPS FPS is flattering. I'd have guessed about 10 fps but it's apparently 22.
Spetsnaz the refresh rate of your monitor limits your FPS to 60.
I'm sure you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from 30 to 60 if you didn't have fraps up AussieDave. 26 FPS is very acceptable and playable with everything on High and 10KM viewing distance on my system.
What are your system specs Aussie?

WHY are people so caught up with UBER FPS ? FFS just get playing and stop griping. I'm sure there will be optimisations on the engine regarding online play / offline play / enter-every-whine-here play.
Just get on and PLAY. Worry about FPS later.
I'm pretty sure that I'd be able to in my opinion. I also think that the FRAPs number of mid 20s is actually wrong. I've played Crysis and other FPS games that have gotten that low yet are still playable. This game at that level is far from it so it seems to be fucked further than just a low frame rate.
I can't play. That's why I'm worrying. I go to shoot someone and suddenly they are 5 metres away. There is no sense of fun to it at all and there is no way that it could possibly be playable.
Your FPS may well be dependant on the amount of updates per second the server is sending you.
Try connecting to a few different servers and see if there is any difference.
Servers will get better with time as admins work out what their ideal settings are.
