Every 5 seconds FPS drops from 100FPS - 30FPS recovers then repeats

[SovietLobster43]

Describe the bug Once I have spawned in the mission and only on this mission every 5 seconds exactly I drop from 100FPS - 30FPS. I'll just be walking around the bases and every 5 seconds the game lags or freezes for 2 seconds and then jumps back up to 100. Repeat the same every 5 seconds.

To Reproduce I tried starting a LAN and hosting a Private Dedicated; in both situations the problem still occurred.

Expected behaviour I expected that I would start it up as before and I would stay at a more consistent FPS. Arma is Arma and dips hard around lots of units, but I'm standing and walking around base with this happening.

Screenshots N/A

Environment (please complete the following information): Version: 2.08.149102 Map: Altis Blufor

• [ ] Official Server
• [ ] Official InDev Server
• [V] Private dedicated server
• [ ] Private dedicated server with Headless client(s)
• [V] LAN Hosted

Additional mods:

Time the bug occurred (Please leave in GMT+0): 3:00pm

Additional context I had not previously had this issue with Mike Force, but now only these missions are having this issue. I tried The Bra and Cam Lao Nam with still the same result. I have a lower average FPS on those maps, but even then the issue persisted dropping down to 30 FPS every 5 seconds.

If you were LAN hosting, please attach your client .RPT file from when the bug occurred, If on a private dedicated server, please attach the server's .RPT from when the bug occurred.

@SovietLobster43 Are you able to provide a RPT with this issue? Have you attempted joining to a public server also running the mission to see if you are still getting the dips when you are not also running the server on your machine?

I joined a random public server and the issue was not happening, it seems to be only when I host off my computer. I would just play online, but that would kind of defeat the purpose as I don't really like playing online. It would not allow me to send just the file so this is the most recent .rpt since having this issue hope this helps. As a side note I removed all mods I had active and still the issue persisted.

Closing. Mike Force is a multiplayer mission and it sounds like this is a hardware issue stemming from trying to run both the server and client at the same time.
