Performance continues to get worse

It seems like with every new patch released this game becomes more unplayable.

Yes, I could turn my graphics to minimum to get 25~ frames but I shouldn't have to, my computer is more than fit to run all games on the market with smooth gameplay. (Not counting ######-bag ARMA)

Guess I'll try this game again in 2013?

    It's mainly CPU bound. Have you tried overclocking yet? Also, try playing on different servers as the server's rate affects your performance.


    Hopefully they re-implement lua-jit.

    Quite the opposite for me, I've gained ~10 FPS on average in the last 4 patches.

    I run a i5-2320 3.0 Quad.. is this not good enough?

    And I'm not a fan of over-clocking CPU's.

    Yeah, the last two builds have been light-year-sized leaps and bounds forward. I literally went from playing low textures at 640x480 to 1920x1080 on high with graphical effects in this build.

    Now that triple-buffering works, try clicking it on. That helped it for me a ton!

    A type of V-sync that doesn't cause your frame rate to tank if it isn't able to maintain 30/60.

    No I mean, what is it called under options

    I don't see a Triple-Buffering unless it was just built into the game

    It's called Wait for vertical sync (options: Disabled, Double Buffered and Triple Fuffered)
