They clearly sum up what has been bothering me about Arma2 since it was released, but I could never quite explain. What made me post this was an interesting review of the Nvidia 460 in which they used Arma2 OA as a benchmark. What is the point in optimizing the game and getting better FPS if playing at 60 fps feels like 17 every few seconds? The problem is that the game does run at acceptable FPS, it just FEELS much lower most of the time which I believe generates a lot of these performance issues and complaints. But I believe it is things like this stutter at high FPS that is causing a lot of the problems and complaints that BIS cant fix. Us users are constantly wanting more performance increases and optimizations. For example running around on your own in the editor at 60+ fps is not affected at all by streaming (maybe if it was on But I can tell you there is a clear difference between the two. I know people will also say this is to blame. I know people will suggest to adjust this, but I have played with various values and it makes no difference, so I leave it at default. Why can the game not have smooth input without the need for mouse smoothing? And if we do need mouse smoothing why does it loose all effectiveness when the scene become more complicated or a lot of cpu calculations are occurring(eg AI)? Remember- FPS are still high. BUT, the more activity that is on the screen walking around a town or playing a mission, the effect of mouse smoothing becomes less and game feels choppy/jittery etc even though my FPS are never dropping lower than 30fps. Turning it up helps the problem a lot, almost makes it unnoticeable. On my own in the editor if I turn mouse smoothing all the way down I get bad input/screen jittering. Mouse smoothing appears to me to be a BandAid trying to fix a much deeper problem. 60 fps but I get this input/view port stutter when panning around, more so when I move to areas of more buildings or dense foliage, BUT still my FPS is well above 50fps in these areas. Even on my own in the editor I experience it on Takistan.
With OA this seems to be back with a vengeance.
