Arma 3 Frame rate stuck at 9 fps?

[Jackson97]

So, I built my PC about 6 months ago. Yesterday I got back from being away and all of a sudden my Arma was running at ~10fps?! I used to run it fine on 60fps medium to high settings. Regardless of the settings I can't get it above 10fps. Nothing has changed for other games like Dayz, Rainbow Six Seige and Squad? I have already reinstalled the game and nothing changes. Please Help!

DayZ is built on the ArmA 2 engine, meaning that this issue is 100% isolated to the ArmA 3 engine and not to ArmA's style of game engine. Have you put in a ticket with Bohemia? Their support team is usually pretty good.

Regarding your PC, you say you just built it 6 months ago; what're the specs? Full spec please, leave nothing out.

I figured that they probably run on different engines. My Specs are (Don't laugh)
i3-6100 3.7Ghz with stock cooler
GTX 950 MSI G1 Gaming
Samsung EVO 120GB SSD
500 Watt Powersupply from Antec
Gigabyte H110M MotherBoard
2TB Seagate Barracuda
Some 6 year old 1TB Hard Drive my grandfather gave me

ArmA 3 runs on an upgraded and reworked ArmA 2 engine, just as ArmA 2 runs on an upgraded and reworked ArmA engine.

Which drive is ArmA 3 installed to?

Also, run a program like CPUID HWMonitor and watch your CPU and GPU temperatures when you try to play. What's the highest they hit?

I have installed and tried it on both my HDD and my SSD but still nothing. My GPU hits around 50 degrees Celsius or 122 degrees Fahrenheit . Arma 2 is now doing the same thing as Arma 3 but dayz is fine.

What temp is your CPU hitting?

Also, you're running off of a 6-year-old drive. Is it even SATA? It might be dying. Run chkdisk /f /r in an admin command prompt and then restart your computer.

I'm not running it on the 6 year old hard drive, though it is perfectly functional and it is SATA. Oh and my CPU is 23 Degrees when running Arma only reaching 20% load.

ArmA 3 isn't using more than 20% of your CPU?...Official support ticket time. ArmA 3 is an absolute CPU hog; if it's not using at least 70% of your CPU something's wrong.

I think it's because its only running on 9fps?

Probably. The thing is, it should be using more of your CPU than that; you should put in a support ticket with Bohemia and see if maybe a recent update broke something.
