> We have been hunting for the so called "3FPS Bug" for some time without any clean success. We managed to squash several issues on the way, be it potential memory leaks, scripting issues and security concerns, but there are still many reported occurrences of this behaviour:
>
> - After some time of playing (usually 45-60 minutes) the game goes instantly to roughly 3FPS
> - Game doesn't recover until it is restarted
> - This doesn't only depend on modding of the game, even game without mods may encounter this issue
> - It usually takes place in MP environment
>

> As we are yet unable to reproduce said behaviour on our internal machines, we need your help to crush this issue. There is a Feedback Tracker Ticket about this issue, we would like to ask anyone experiencing said behaviour to collect their **dxdiag data** (simply by typing "dxdiag" in their start menu and saving the profile, removing the Machine Name and Machine ID parts) and trying to get **minidumps of their memory** prior and after the issue using **ProcDump** (thanks to the guys from Microsoft for recommending this software to us). That could possibly help us to localize the issue better and to address it in the future.
> Thanks a lot for your participation, lets make Arma better together.
**We would like to use this ticket to gather all the files mentioned above that you are able to provide.**
As mentioned above, we are looking for the minidumps, dumps made with the ProcDump and DxDiag files.
When providing these, please try to upload at least one RPT file as well.
Here are some links you might find usefull when in doubt about what to do or where to find the files
