    Hi, since the latest ACE patch 1.7 i lost something around 40-50(im around 10 constantly now) fps and i can't understand at all why my. When i try to turn down the graphic settnings just makes the game run in even lower FPS.

    System speccs are:

    Processor: Intel(R) Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
    Memory: 4GB ddr3 RAM
    Graphics card :nvidia 280gtx
    OS: Windows vista x64

    Addons running:

    ACE MOD
    VopSound_ACE_1.19
    Afghan_Avgani

    I hope someone can help me because right now ACE mod is unplayable for me.

    Try turning some items off, such as shadows, and see if that helps.

    I would start by taking ACE out of the mix. Run just stock ARMA and see what happens. Then just ACE by itself without all your other addons. See what that does.
    Most everyone saw a bit of a hit with the new ACE, but with 1.16 beta release yesterday, saw a bit of a boost it looks like.

    Might even want to reinstall ARMA as a last resort. Give everything a fresh start.

    And I'm a bit disappointed that you have such a killer rig, but still run lowplants.

    Re: Terrible FPS with new ACE 1.7 patch

    Lets be clear on this "Lowplants" thing.

    Old version (shouldn't be used):
    plants.pbo (429,568KB)
    sara_grass.pbo (1,426KB)

    Newer version:
    PROPER_plants_standard_textures_with_lowplants.pbo (433,560KB)
    PROPER_plants_standard_textures_with_lowplants.pbo .PROPER_plants_standard_textures_with_lowplants_20 08_12_06.bisign (1KB)

    Newer version doesnt require Queens Gambit (older does), this particular version is to replace default textures with their optimized version.
    However, there is another choice for 'autumn' textures.

    Google is your 2nd best friend.
    "Proper lowplants"

    At least you could take out that DM/JTD smoke.
    The error messages it causes on other players PCs are pretty annoying.

    Re: Terrible FPS with new ACE 1.7 patch

    I just ran ArmA without any addons and i had 60-70 fps so i dont think anything is wrong there.

    I got a slight boost by the 1.16 patch but i think im going to reinstall the entire game and see what happens.
    and about the lowplants thingy.. flakt keept whining on me since i didnt have it so i got it to shut him up .

    Yeah, I'm am 99% sure that ACE includes the JTD smoke mod anyways ...

    When you are messing around with addons, please look for info on whether the addon should be on the server as well. If the author says it should, there is a HIGH chance that it will cause weird behaviour for other players who don't have it.

    Re: Terrible FPS with new ACE 1.7 patch

    If people are still having FPS problems with ACE, something else to try out.

    Try disabling/turning down the number of spent casings.

    If you slowly lose FPS over the course of a mission, this is likely to be the cause.

    The change is located in your ArmA/Dta/ACE/ace_clientside_config.cpp

    Find the entry for spent casings, and turn it off. Might help.
