Which makes sense, because it is the complete sim with updated exe and stuff that gets delivered (without dongle).

Thanks I lost my password to the forum.

I just reinstalled SB Pro PE. Version is 370beta.

I don't think with that version I'm able to play online with the other people running latest version. If anyone still playing the 370beta feel free to drop me a PM to set up game if you like.

I did a test with the advance to Radjik mission and got terrible fps I mean below 10 sometimes. It was really a struggle worse than my previous system and I've changed my system twice each new one runs SB Pro PE heavier scenario worse. .

Installing didn't go smooth either since my AV detected virus in the 32 bit CodeMeter.exe. It was doing funny thing like calling Nero Back up .

Now it's all ok though.

Vista?

I would create a new account and ask them about it. Vista also had troubles with SBPPE and a certain kind of soundcards.

The sim is no frame hog, really. I fear it is something system-depending. Im running it on an almost 9 year old computer at 1680 resolution and fluent frames from the low to the high 20s.

And the AV you may want to try to deactivate while playing?! It should not detect the donmgle software as a problem either.

I'm running Windows 7 x64 with a new system.

It's all ok now my AV is not reporting anything and Nero is not prompting itself any longer.

And frames are well now, too!?

It turned out that I underestimated the game requirement much. I turned down the slider from full to default and now getting fantastic fps!

Much better than it was in my 2 previous systems.

Thanks Skybird

It's 50 or above now even being static at 62 a lot of times with all sliders in default position.

It's still weird I cannot crank all the game sliders up to 100% though.

Ooops! And back you are in business!

That is normal. It is because of the complex line-of-sight calcuations regharding ground objects and trees. in SBP these equal the complexity of the bubble-world in Falcon. However, the grass is just cosmetic - you cannot see through it, but the AI can. Many players prefer to set to zero, therefore, to neutralise the AI advantage.

Aye I'm aware of that.

I prefer to see a little of grass still however.

We must appreciate ArmA 2(BIS Studio) attempt to make grass to affect AI as well as human players
