I know what you mean- but the positive spin on this is I enjoy bringing role play (basically out of habit) into all those other games I play!  For example, I play Ark, and I love pretending to be a caveman over the mic, or asking people where they're from and asking about the 'dinosaurs from...

I'm not 100% sure if this would work- but can you make a new arma 3 profile on the homescreen and that would give you a fresh character? 

Okay, seems fair to me.

I do understand that, and that it was a heat of the moment decision for you, but I was put in a position where I was always going to be killed no matter what I did, which I don't feel is fair. I know you weren't intending to break the rules when you came, it is clearly a mistake from the video...

The report is about myself- I'm not saying anything for/about the other player as i didn't have either your or his perspective. I can see how it looked on your side, but as I say what could I myself have done to avoid being killed? I can see you didn't come with the intention of RDMing but...

Why not throw my name into the mix  :P

From my very little experience with these things, and it may be a stupid question, but- do you have vsync turned on to limit fps on those games? I have found that when running games that my gpu is run easily with a very high framerate (150+, say), it overworks itself and gets way too hot...

Just hammered the settings as you guys advised and things are a lot more playable. Thanks, everyone.

Thanks @Edward And thanks for the advice @dzul. I'll have a think about cost on performance, and what I want out of it. At the moment I just want the darn thing to work but you're right, spending the money now saves it later.

@dzul Yes I did consider that- it did the job while I didn't have the GPU but now I'm just left with a processor that isn't up to scratch. I'm reluctant to upgrade it as it'll mean replacing the mobo too obviously, but if this continues I think I'll just have to. I was thinking of moving to the...

Thanks for your replies. Perhaps I am shooting a little above my station  :rolleyes:     Are there any particular settings I should bring down furthest to best suit my hardware, or do you think a blanket-decrease would be in order?

So this, last night, was the final straw. I had just finished a 220k, 1.5 hour sand run, and this happens. I think the worst part is that some unemployed layabout managed to pick up our ~500k from our corpses! No respect for the dead/dying anymore, I tell you.  ;) I get these FPS drops every...
