You could try using the mighty copy function windows has? Or you will need to setup the game again. Protip: CD key = Your character.

I like purple tigers, they look really tasty in a mushroomy kinda way. I think I win, my post is more pointless and with less thought behind it.

Erhmm, what? You don't want a map to be used as a map? How can a player have GPS-work?? All GPS-work is done by computers and satelites(more computers). How will it be much more realistic? if they can or can't do GPS-work? (I still don't see how that will work, but I will go with you for now) BTW now that i have read your post 6 times and taken the time to be sarcastic, I realise you are talking about Waypoints.

1: Can't be bother to explain that one for you. Dig around yourself. Or go test it. 2: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4955/the-bulldozer-review-amd-fx8150-tested/5 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windows-7-hotfix-bulldozer-performance,3119.html (not his CPU persay, but the same line) 3: http://da.twitch.tv/fpsguru/b/325515481 somewhere near the end, he mentions that the 1.62.XXXXX beta patches have improvements for cities. 4: Bugger off. I am not writing a essay here, I shouldn't have to source it. Or actually know something about the subject before crying foul.

Yeeeeeeeahhh, good luck. There are some server which say "Co-op" or "Co-op encouraged" etc etc, in their name. But, all the same players can join, and they don't have to care about the server rules/suggestion, only DayZ rules. You cannot lock a server, you cannot password a server and you cannot "enforce" any of your own personal ideas of how the mod should be played. Server admins are not allowed to punish peoples playing style. Or they will risk being blacklisted from the Hiveserver. You can maybe find a non-hive server, where the admin can have greater control. Though I would not recommend it. You just have to play it for longer and start to learn where is "safer" and where is a killzone.

A few factors spring to mind. 1: Server up time affects your FPS...don't ask me why...it just does. Or just in general, Servers affect your FPS. Try on servers that have just started up, to see how it runs there. 2: Unless you are using a Phenom: You don't exactly have a gaming CPU. You are on a architechture that isn't really tested yet, with an overly long pipeline and that is built for number crunching. Win7 doesn't know how to use proper, it has been hotfixed for improved performance, but that is still not natively supported (it will work better in windows 8).. Also just to be pedantic, you have a 3xdual core CPU. 3: Maybe you are not playing on the newest beta patch servers, which should have some improvements for city FPS. But yeah Cities kill your FPS.

You need to be alittle more clear, on what the fuck you are trying to say. 1:???? you talking about CPU Priority? 2: Go add it to your shortcut?? Right clicking is a powerful tool.

Well, Graphics doesn't equal everything and Arma isn't based around looking good like Skyrim is. You want help...but you don't give any specs or actual useful info....Sooo can't help you. Except to say, don't play DayZ on a Laptop. And there are about 300 threads from this week, about bad performance, maybe you should have a look at them. Best I can do is: You have a bottleneck in your system somewhere, go find it.

Buhhhtt, there are no hospitals inland...which is why you need to make sure, you aren't just carrying guns and ammo, and actually bring along some meds. You made a mistake, you didn't have a proper amount of meds...now you are paying for it. It is the circle of DayZ, you fuck up, you get smarter, you play better, you fuck up, you get...well you get the point... Don't get me wrong, we have all made that mistake (or will, just wait), I was lucky enough to have a friend come by with morphine. And why did you create the topic 3 times?

1: It has been in the mod before, it was hotfixed out because it was not working as intended. 2: It is coming back in the upcoming update (assuming it is working correctly this time) 3: Has been suggested multiple times, and the forum has a search function.

I am gonna take a unproven guess and say "No" On the bright side a new card that is 3-7 times better should be very cheap (you are using a very old graphics card). But my old 18xx (i forgot which) card was only APG port, which I will take a wild guess that yours might be too, and it is very hard to find any usable AGP cards at this point, due to it being a dated "format". So check to make sure what ports you have available and buy a suitable replacement. That being said, if you are using a 1xxx series ATI card, you might also be using a very old CPU, which will cause you equal problems. Arma being very reliant on your CPU. Please post that complete stats of your computer, if we are to judge it. Or just test it, if you haven't bought ARMA 2 CO yet..you can try using ARMA 2 Free http://www.arma2.com/free/ which won't be 1:1 on the requirements due to much lower texture quality, but should still give a fair indication.

Make sure you play on servers that run a 1.62.XXXXX version of the game. It will prevent you from playing on 1.60.XXXXX and 1.61.XXXXX server, but should have improvements for city play. I believe it is Beta patch 95168 and 95208 that = 1.62

Try testing it with "Arma 2 free". If you get lower than 20 FPS, I would not touch DayZ, unless you are immune to headaches. Or maybe it just flat out refuses to launch, in which case..Question answered. But you can buy it now with a 20% discount (might go higher for tomorrows sale) on steam. And have it ready for when you get your new computer.

Join server US 52 -> Tell your brother to set his host-filter to "U-S-SPACE-5-2" og installer DayZ er super nemt. 1:Hent Sixupdater (ikke Sixlauncher), jaja det er skide langsomt til at starte, bare vent. 2: Find fanen der hedder "Mods", find DayZ i den liste og højreklik, gå ned i "updater action"->"Install and update mods" 3: Færdig. 4: Hvis du løber ind i problemer, skal du sikre dig at "@Dayz", "Expansion" og "beta" er aktiveret i Armas "expansions" menu

1: Low FPS in cities is just common problem, right now. Best you can do, is make sure you play on the latest Beta Patches (from what I understood the new 1.62.95208, should bring a fair performance boost to cities) and wait for further improvements to both DayZ and Arma. 2: Make sure you play on server that has recently been restarted, the longer servers run the worse FPS you get (don't ask me why, don't know...just an observation, I have made) People say that changing GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3; to GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; is better for them. And for my own personal experience, actually using Vsync is better for me. (Test yourself) Truth be told, I think your major problem is your CPU.

They do, but they can't run inside, which means you get a 10-15 secs buffer to create distance and break line of sight....still a pussy move tho.

Sir, you can have my beans for being a man!

Make sure you don't hold down shift, alt or any kind of modifiers (or they are stuck from the steam overlay). Fraps is clean, simple and just works.... Dxtory is abit cluttered, alot of settings and you have to double check things a few times. Another way to put it. Fraps = Mac, Dxtory = PC. If you have need for compressing the footage, try using Virtualdub to save some harddisk space. 1080 recordings can fill up a 2TB harddrive faster than you would think. My 2€cents

then I guess you have the -mod=@DayZ in your launch options. Remove that and retry what vinss suggested

You should probably add that shadows on Normal will run it on the CPU and High/very high will run on the GPU (soo depending on where your bottleneck is) You probably also want to add "increasing audio samples" to avoid dying, even tho it is a small CPU hit ;) GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; doesn't change anything, "written by engine each start, changing it manually has no effect!" And WTH, you didn't turn off AToC? Doesn't matter I suppose, since you turn off AA. Lastly, Arma runs on a weird engine, that actually runs better with Vsync turned on (on:32 FPS vs off:30 FPS in the OA benchmark) http://community.bis...#Generic_config

Alt-f4'ing gives you a massive advantage too, server hopping give you a advantage, reloging to refill magazines gave you a great advantage, hacking gives you a great advantage, running the incorrect Dayz files gives you a advantage, hoarding vehicles outside the map gave you a massive advantage, playing on the lowest possible graphics settings gives you an advantage. BUUUUUUHHHHTTT, doesn't mean I can recommend doing it (any of it). And to anyone thinking about the "well everyone else is doing it"...did your mother not teach you, that just because everyone else is jumping off a bridge, doesn't mean you should do it too. Also I would like to make it clear, that I do not mind VoIP in any other game, but in DayZ it just feels wrong. But still, it is all personal preference... I suppose.

"I need a new computer. One that can run Arma II flawless without any issues." not gonna happen... :) But it won't be your computer causing the issue if you get something like Dr621 suggest. What Dr621 suggested is pretty legit, thought I would add: ARMA/DayZ would love you if you went for a SSD for your primary harddisk. And I myself would also always pick a AMD graphics card over Nvidia...Nvidia too high price, for little added benefit (Not trying to start the usual fanboy flame war, this is just my own personal opinion). A AMD 7850 or 7870 would also be good options, if you run too high in price, but a 670 is currently probably the "best" card you can buy. MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!!! DO NOT buy a cheap motherboard and/or power supply! This is basicly the "heart" of your machine, if you skimp out here, you will pay for it later on. At the very least, get something midrange. I would say 100£-200£, should be earmarked for a good motherboard (do be careful tho, there are super crazy 300£+ motherboards, this is not what you want either ;) ) + make sure you get a decent fan for your CPU, nothing worse than a sub-par fan going crazy 24/7. my 2€cents.

IMHO, Teamspeak/mumble/vent detracts from the experience. Same as using online maps...yeah it is alot easier, but once you learn to avoid using them, it adds greatly to the "game". Thought i am still crossing my fingers for a ingame radio system.

Is there some way of finding out if I was one of the first 50k players (Wanna be a hipster here). I am sure most of theses have been mentioned before...but 13 pages thread....yeah i only got soo much time to read all the "I WANT A HEATMAP vs HEAT MAPS ARE FOR SUCKERS" so here we go. Coke, Pepsi or water bottle, which is the drink of choice? Beans, Frank and beans, pasta or sardines? Which do players prefer to carry with them? Do female characters have a higher/longer life expectancy? How many players are TK'ed by accidental friendly fire? How many players are trying to impersonate Rocket? (IE calling themselves Rocket, Dean Hall, Dean "Rocket" H...etc etc) How many servers are actually running the UTC they advertise in the server name? How many servers resets the clock when you join/rejoin? How many hours off a day, is a "owned" vehicle idle? How many players have killed a zombie using empty cans/bottles? How many servers are whitelisted on a daily average? What is the temperature/state of your "hive server(s?)" components (is the CPU running at a constant 90C? etc etc and whatnots). List people with a mountain dew: I need names, frequented server and location! I will turn bandit for a mountain dew (don't judge me).

Make sure that: Arma 2, Arma 2 OA, @DayZ, Beta and Expansion is enabled in the main menu->Expansion. Reboot when all has been enabled and recheck after the reboot that it is sticking.
