Noticeably steppy in Build 58968

[Rexxenexx]

Noticeably steppy when you turn around in Elektro. or any other dense city. It pauses for 2-3 seconds then goes normal pretty much everytime you turn more than 90*.
Also when you zoom in with the DMR on a Mgun nest it turns to a low LOD so you can't see the guy inside. Anyone else notice?

Yes, I can confirm that - happened to me just yesterday when assaulting the main rebel base camp in Manhattan. (beta 972)

Happens in the original 1.03 as well.

I had a great performance increase untill patch xxx68 and xxx72. With those two last patches i have noticed more pauses/lags and lower fps again.

lower FPS for me too with build 58972.

Just tested the latest drivers from Nvidia with my Win7 and i definatelly got better performance. Running the latest arma2 beta build.

Remember to remove the old drivers properly before installing new ones.

Trying the new build, expecting the same result. For those who don't know how to install new drivers.

using the xxx 72 build here and noticed an outstanding performance increase.

Still happening on build 59025. I think its just the mass amounts of different textures at the docks (south-center) of Elektro. Seems if you are walking on the docks and look to the pipes it will pause to swap blits which takes long enough to notice badly. I'll try a lower texture setting to see if it could pre-load more textures, but it didn't seem to be this long of a pause before.

i went into the editor, and set myself up on the docks. As usual, with my settings(VH)/VD(2600) no PP, i get the "steppy" At the start when i turn around, And as i always do i do a 360 turn(it seems to fill up the vram ect?) and then its gone till i encounter a new area in town that wasn't in my view it will "hitch" then its gone. I can completely remove the "steppy/hitch" if i lower my VD under 2500, or have it happen allot,with VD 5000~. No settings other than VD seems to make a difference, though i didnt go ugly lowsettings.
