Basic Training: Getting Arma2 Running Smoothly

Anyone who has attempted to run Arma2 knows it is a challenge to get a playable fps.

I found this post on Rock Paper Shotgun quite helpful in optimizing your game: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-2565.html

As a side note many servers don't like the okt_noblur mod linked in the article on RPS. I have found having it installed results in being unable to join a Dayz multiplayer game. 

Don't expect too much. I have a pretty good rig and run between 30fps (in towns) to 60fps (in the woods).
