I can run the mod right now at about 15-20 fps, which is bearable for me, but I'm kind of worried that when the standalone is released it will be harder to run. I can't find any information on it, so does anyone know if it will be harder to run? If not, anyone have ideas or suspicions. I'm hoping it will be smoother because the files are all in one place and the whole game was created for the purpose of being dayz, not arma, rather than having to use files from three or four different file locations. Is this right, or am I just making things up?

I currently get about 20-25 fps i the wilderness, and 15-20 in towns (mostly to the higher end of those. I have seen it reach up to 30 on servers with like 2 or 3 other people while i'm in the middle of the forest, but that's rare and nothing really exciting happens there). If I try to join a server with 30+ players, that decreases by about 10.I really do think the processor is fine. I have run games asking for 3.0 Ghz processors (portal 2, for example) on high settings at 40-50 fps. I've even gotten Minecraft up to 300 when I put everything in low (not really a gret feat for a graphics card, but still). I just want to know how I can tack on as much as possible to avoid lag in key moments and improve overall smoothness.

Does the patch automatically install? If not, how do I do it myself?

pI understand a dedicated card would be great, but i just dont know if I can. I'm on a laptop that I bought pre-built from best buy. I have used a few websites that claim they can tell you what kind of performance I will get and they tell me that I should be getting 10-15 fps more than I am, even with integrated graphics. Every other game i've played o here (including some recommending better graphics cards than DayZ) have run fine. My point is, even if it is a hardware issue, I can't just go out and start spending hundreds on parts.

I have recently been looking at ways to increase my fps, and I have run across a number of helpful YouTube videos. Some of them show how to put commands in the start-up options on steam, one of which (cant remember the exact thing to type) ws supposed to make the game use all four of your processor cores. I have a 1.9 GHz quad-core A8 in my laptop, and I would like to be able to do this for my game. However, whenever I play DayZ, I prefer to find a server from the list on Dayz Commander and launch my game from there rather than launching ArmA2CO through steam. Is there a way I can activate all of my cores when launching through here? Also, are there any other ways besides in-game options that I can increase my fps (I'm already aware of RAMDisk, but it confuses me, if anyone knows a for-dummies sort of video that would be appreciated. The one I saw was by a really bad explainer.) My Specs quad core AMD A8-4500M 1.9 GHz with Radeon™ Graphics AMD Radeon HD 7640G 8GB DDR3 RAM Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit 512 MB dedicated video RAM Pixel Shader/ Vertex shader version 5.0 Let me know if you need more. P.S.- I understand great fps is a lot to ask of 1.9 GHz and integrated graphics, but I'm not bathing in cash and my PC is a laptop, not a desktop, so hardware upgrades are pretty much out of the question. I'm looking for FREE (catch the emphasis?) software or tweaks that are both safe and can add to my framerate. All of my drivers are up to date
