If you can post your system information i think i know what may be causing your problem. If you have both an integrated video system and a card that is inserted into a laptop someone said there is a glitch that when mumble is active it switches PR back to running on the integrated gpu.camo_jnr_jnr wrote:everyone keeps suggesting to lower the graphics settings but im convinced its to do with mumble or that latest update. It was fine a few days ago but now its unplayable.

Would you be able to make sure that your computer is not switching to the integrated intel HD graphics chipset?camo_jnr_jnr wrote:Code: Select all

I think arma sometimes has that problem where if you lower the grapics too much its starts to use your cpu rather than your graphics card. I'll try the catalyst control settings now.Viperelite wrote:Would you be able to make sure that your computer is not switching to the integrated intel HD graphics chipset?
You could test this i believe by opening catalyst control center and finding the option to run under High Performance Mode under all circumstances.
I don't use ATI so im not 100% sure but there is an option in the control center somewhere to either force the computer to use the dedicated GPU or a way to force a specific application (the battlefield 2 project reality .exe) to use only the dedicated gpu.
excitement lost.
Oh, the irony.MineralWouter wrote:All the ones that think that mumble might be causing the lag, would you be so kind and play PR without mumble for a while and see if it's better?

Thanks!
That used to be there.I did try this before the patch last night and with fraps open so i could see my fps and without mumble (launching without it, not closing mumble after) and i gained roughly 10 to 20 fps, although sometimes it went up about 35. Just to reiterate, this problem started after the .20 patch and makes my fps go lower as well as have it drop sometimes down to 5 every 30 or so seconds.MineralWouter wrote:All the ones that think that mumble might be causing the lag, would you be so kind and play PR without mumble for a while and see if it's better?

Was it like this before the .20 patch?Spook wrote:I tried running it without mumble yesterday for several rounds. No change. 100 FPS when nothing happens. ~35-40 FPS when looking towards firefights and directions where alot of people are active. Even though you do not see anything, all the stuff gets rendered anyways so FPS drops even if the battle is 500m away from you, with several hills and trees inbetween.
When CAS strikes, FPS goes to 25-33, same as above...even if you do not see it, it gets rendered somewhere.
Did not experience any difference with or without mumble. Its bad as before.
If you are getting the same fps on all high and all low settings there is a pretty good chance the lag is CPU related. The best graphics card in the world is poop without a decent CPU.camo_jnr_jnr wrote:upon further testing i have found i get the same fps on all high settings as i do on all low settings. All i want is to go back to the 1.0.19 beta!!!!
