Severe lag/framerate loss in all game modes (with and without Teampseak)

Description

Arma is on an intel SSD. Since the last update I have been experiencing "microstutter" where the game freezes every two seconds. It will do this steady - same intervals in all game types, with and without mods, on all maps. It is also visible in the background splash screen of the menus, etc. Present if GPUs are running SLI or not.

UPDATE:

Second issue involves TeamSpeak 3. Upon turning on Teamspeak 3, the game drops to 1-4FPS in all game modes and is unplayable. Problem persists until PC is rebooted.

Steps To Reproduce

Just start game. Happens every time since the update.
Teampseak issue occurs every time Teamspeak is active and connected.

Additional Information

For starters - my system:

Processor: Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 5960X 4.5GHz
Motherboard: ASUS X99 RAMPAGE V USB 3.1
System Memory: 32GB DDR4 2666MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum DHX
Power Supply: 1200W Corsair AX1200i
SSD PCI-E Card (400GB Intel 750 Series)
Graphics Card(s): 2x SLI Dual (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB
Asus XB270UH G-Sync monitor
Liquid Cooled

Only found one example where someone had similar issue - user replaced SSD and reinstalled everything and it seems to be working. My SSD/PC is barely over a month old now, and replacing an SSD to play one game seems unreasonable. All other games and programs (including Arma 2) work fine and do not have any lag spikes.

The following troubleshooting steps did NOT resolve the issue:

  • Verifying integrity of game cache on Steam
  • Changing all graphic settings to low
  • Optimizing SSD (other games on this SSD did not suffer performance hits or stuttering before or after optimizing)
  • Update SSD firmware
  • Using different Windows user profile to launch A3
  • Reinstall graphics driver
  • Reinstall Arma 3
  • Reinstall Logitech gaming software
  • running with and without mods

Did you tried some startparameters?

Before the last game update, the game was running "smooth as silk" on my system with Track IR, CH Pro Pedals, Logitech joystick, and TeamSpeak 3.

I was able to play one session where the frames slowly began dropping until the game came to a near standstill. Restarting the game and rejoining the server I was on corrected this. By the next session, microstutter had manifested, and then the TeamSpeak issue.

Since then (November 28th) the game has been completely unplayable.

Maybe try to use the Performance binaries? They have some bug fixes.
