Yes because a HD6970, i7 920@4gig and 6gb isn't enough? Not to mention what I have repeatedly been saying about cpu/gpu utilization being next to nothing hence the low fps.

For alot of people there is an issue with the new update but many others have been suffering with low fps BEFORE this update

You're complaining you bought a game to play a mod in Alpha which doesn't meet your expectations, did you even research what the game was like before you parted with your cash? Who made the retarded decision?

It may be new for some but people have had this problem before 1.7.1 it has just been ignored or thread deleted

Then how does that explain my cpu/gpu not being utilized? If that's the case then when there are more zombies around my hardware is effectively doing nothing yet surely the workload should increase. As I said before 8fps on one server next to no load on cpu and gpu, change server 35 fps odd and surprise surprise my hardware is actually under load. Edit: It may not be a case of just changing one server, you need to try several out, I tried 4 servers today before I got anywhere.

haha totally agree mate, the realism argument only seems valid when people want it to be.

Like I said, keep trying other servers. Moments ago 8fps on one server then 35 odd on another

That's because you need to run for like 2 hours

Nope I had the same problem before, relatively high end pc yet my cpu and gpu doing next to nothing hence low fps

Corpse/zombie whatever I think it's fair to say milling around all day everyday without food or water except for maybe chomping the odd survivor will result in the deterioration of all your muscles and since moving your limbs is a function of muscles....

don't forget he could also give Usain Bolt a run for his money, not bad for a rotting corpse

Strictly speaking this isn't a new problem in the slightest, people have been having fps issues for quite some time myself included, there other threads currently running on here about this very issue prior to 1.7.1 and if you google "dayz low fps" just as many threads have been deleted (for whatever reason). However it would seem that something in 1.7.1 has triggered the issue for many more people now so hopefully it may actually be acknowledged as an issue. IME change server and you should find one that gives you decent fps.

I did? I don't know, did you?

Perhaps it's by design so you waste all your ammo trying to hit them ....

I was in debug hills yesterday but even after running SE for 10 mins and changing server it put me right back where I started in the hills, like something out of groundhog day. Came across a post on the forums and basically it said logging on to "Canada 2" server 'fixed' it for them, logged onto canada 2 and was now in the debug forest and I could finally escape.

Exactly, people harp on about realism all the time yet we have tents to retain your gear in after death and rotting walking corpses that can run faster than Usain Bolt.

lol @ the guy who says it is this dark in real life, yeah if you live in the vastness of space

Casper you say "Over time this will cause more and more 'stuff' your CPU/GPU have to calculate/render until the FPS drops to an unplayable level. " that would suggest my cpu/gpu is under heavy load causing the drop but that isn't the case at all, my gpu is doing next to nothing while my cpu is sat around 50% load.

Nice idea but as soon as you announce the location and server every man and his dog is going to descend upon it, instant bloodbath

So this is more of a software issue rather than hardware? My cpu is at about 50% load, gpu 30% and half the ram in use still getting 25-35 fps

think it's more of an arma 2 issue by looks of it http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2711193 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?127236-Super-low-GPU-usage-on-MP-only/page12&highlight=low+gpu+usage+multiplayer

My fps is totally inconsistent, it changes everytime I join a new server. Running 1.7, hardware wise: i7 920 6GB ram HD6970 Running msi Afterburner OSD and it shows GPU usage at anything from 0% upto 50%, however it usually hovers around 0 and I get 10fps ><

So are you saying there shouldn't be persistent bodies?
