80 FPS in SP, 25 FPS in MP... why?!

[black bubba]

Title, i can run Arma3 really easy in singleplayer. I can almost nearly hit like 85 frames; but when i wanted to play multiplayer i can barely get 30 frames.. why? And are there any fixes for it?

PS:

I play Arma 3 on medium with shadows on low

My specs
CPU: Intel® Core i5 @ 2.80 GHZ
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 Superclocked - Overclocked to 940 MHz (clock was 840 MHz)
RAM: 8GB
MOBO: Asus P8Z68-V

Everyone is experiencing lower fps in multiplayer right now. What kind of servers are you joining? How many players? Are you running Dev build?

I normally join some COOP server (british, because i dont want to hear foreign languages :p) with like 35 ping, and a max of 40 players (its always pretty full) And nope i run standard build

There are sooo many posts and discussions like this already. Please either search or google. There are developer comments on steam here and also many comparisons with hardware lists. Basically it has bad optimization multithreading. Best thing is to have the fastest processor possible, overclock to get a few frames more, turn off shadaows if you dont mind doing that, turn view distance down, get on a good server-bad server scripting and low hardware specs ruin fps.... ill let you read all the rest of comments ..........

same problem my gtx titan

Because ara 3 is horrible optimized and unplayable in multiplayer!!!!
Dont hear of some tweak guides,it doesnt help.Bohemia relased a unplayable unfinshed game,no other game from bohemia was so bad.All arma or the ofp game was buggy,but arma 3 is a piece of ♥♥♥♥ in this status.
But some blind fanboys play every games. But modern games must only have good grafic and all kiddies are happy.

Look at the new insurgenvy,this game have alpha status but played more better then such full prize game. And next week "takedown team sabre"will be realsed,a hardcore tacticshooter...look like the old but great raven shield.

But to play arma 3 at this buggy ,unoptimized status makes no fun and i was a very big fan from all ofp/arma games since ca. 12 years.

testet it 3 Days an i must say the Problem are the Server hardware, Join a Stratis or low player server an i wont Lag an you get very good fps, but if you jion Altis + 40-100player server you get low FPS. its defenatly not the game its the cheap server Hardware !!!!

Woooohoooo, always glad to know you're having fps issues, tho.

More players, more AI, more objects, more vehicles = more simulations = low fps. There is no workaround.

Low CPU server power.
Laggy maps with excesive scritping.

so a client with a phenom 2 (recommended specs) on a server with 50 players with good hardware and no excessive scripting would get 30+fps?

bullcrap, stop trying to shift the terrible performance inherent to this game to third party reasons. if it were so the heli showcase on singleplayer would have way better fps.

repeating the same lie on every topic won´t make it true.

You are try to explain to everybody you "true wisdow" but in my private server with 10 players I have 30 fps stables with a core 2 duo e8200 even with a old 8800 gts.

Is very simple on my server, the map and the hardware met the requirements for the players.


That's all.

Even if you do get those 30fps with that old machine, which i doubt, you have 10 players on a mission with probably very few AI, and none riding vehicles. And you seriously expect expect 10 players as a base for benchmarking a 250km island? Still i would love to see your stable 30fps in a video flying an heli, riding a vehicle, AI shooting around, while on multiplayer. Because not even BIS on their videos can do that, they fps always drops, even on the launch trailer.

Is not about wisdom is about facts, i can show you everything i say, can you? If so i´m waiting.

Same Problem with two Nvidia 680GTX cards. In multiplayer only ~24-25 FPS not more, and sometimes its goes to ~18-20FPS. This game is not realy finished yet.

It doesn't have anything to do with your video card, it is the fault of the game, server and what mission the server is running. Join a server and stare at the sky...you'd expect FPS to skyrocket. Instead it will stay around 30.
