Yes, I will

Yes, DayZ is incredibly CPU hungry and CPU throttling kills the FPS on Intel laptops. Changing graphics settings makes virtually no difference to the FPS...

Ever started playing with zero lag only for 5 minutes then suddenly have 5 FPS for the rest of the session? Why? CPU throttling.... ...the solution? ThrottleStop, allows you to set a permanent multiplier for your CPU to stop the laptop from throttling down which in turn kills the FPS... This program has the potential to kill your laptop, be warned if you set a multiplier too high with inadequate ventilation you may fry it (I will not take any responsibility should you do so)....... so start at the processors minimum multiplier then work your way up, my multiplier is at 13 (from 8 minimum) which locks the CPU at around 1250Mhz and around 87c max temperature under load with very little lag.... a vast improvement "It looks complicated how do I use it?" Well I can only give you a quick start guide on how I got my FPS running at a speed I was happy with.... for a more indepth guide to ThrottleStop go here - Load it up, you have a set of tick boxes on the left hand side, make sure "Set Multiplier" is ticked and use the bottom arrow to lower it to your CPU's lowest multiplier, forget Clock Modulation and Chipset Clock Mod, leave the other boxes alone.... turn it on (bottom right), load up DayZ and find your optimum multiplier Have fun.... ps... 2 pictures to show the difference....

I had been having these very same problems up until recently, 5 minutes of play followed by 5 frames per second of lag until I eventually died. Very frustrating as 90% of the time I never have had a fighting chance in a 1 v 1, but I soldiered on. I performed the usual trickery, messing with configs, NVIdia settings, you name it - I did it - with little improvement. So I did a little indepth research and came upon a simple solution.... ThrottleStop ....yes something as simple as internal CPU throttling on my i5 laptop completely kills DayZ performance. I am not going to give any hints as to how to use this program as you could fry your laptop if you misused it (and on your head be it) but follow the guides found elsewhere on the Interwebs and you should be fine. FYI: I am now running DayZ with 30ish or so fps with the lag only being provided server-side.

This could all be fixed if single players could use blood bags, albeit make them a little rarer to find....

+1 this is a good server to be on

Sent a hacking report via PM yesterday morning, not heard anything back... as assumption is the mother of all fuckups, I'll assume nothing :) so has it been looked into? Cheers

server needs a restart btw... has it had one today?

Request to make this the hardcore 1st person only server, pretty please with sugar on top

edit

Panda, sent you a PM about the server.... 'tis important

It attempts to join, stuck on "waiting for host" [edit] all sorted and can see it with ingame browser. cheers! [edit] gone down again .. it seems to be restarting over and over... i'll come back to it later :)

Hi panda, the new server is not discoverable ingame, yesterday it was. It went down around 22:00 there were a few of us playing on it... [edit] manually added to dayz commander fav's, the server is now pingable... no luck with ingame browser though

Not sure why he can't get on.... he's double checked his GUID Player Name: The Dude GUID: 611626d8abd3a7b9794abd40d561c971
