Statik (DayZ)

*bump* Can anyone give an inkling of how to fix this? Verifying game cache, and reinstalling don't fix it.

I want to pretext by saying I put probably close to 1,000 hours back in the mod days from the beginning, and after putting like 80 hours in the SA I lost all hope, but I figured I'd try it out since its finally full release (only 5 years wow). I installed, launched it, and went into the settings to drop it down to 1920x1080 instead of my native 5760x1080. But surprise surprise I was let down again. I can modify EVERYTHING in every menu, EXCEPT nothing happens when I try to change my resolution. Hats off to you Bohemia. I got about 5 minutes of play time (all in the menu), before I was his with a game breaking glitch. Not like its a full game or anything though... It wasn't in alpha that long so bugs are to be expected. I miss the mod.

Emergency cooling in place The shame that is my PC's inside. Im sorry... I *really* dont live like a tramp. Honest! It really isnt that dusty. throw some pretty paste on there, empty about 4 cans of compressed air, reroute every cable in your rig, and you should be prada gucci.

Mister fucking hotshot over here. I will trump all your asses tomorrow. http://imgur.com/5reDArb Tada. EDIT: Old photo, shitty lighting. I've since fixed the cables top,side, and tried to same the mess around the PSU that you cannot see. When I post, ignore the fact that all infront of the PSU is a big pile of AIDs and cables. I had to do a bunch of weird shit in order to hook up both my SSDs, and it was a clusterfuck, I'll fix it when I'm not lazy.

That's the same case I have currently. I'm actually planning to upgrade it to a H440 or something eventually. You most likely won't be able to fit a 240mm rad inside (my H100i didn't fit), but other than that, it's an extremely solid case for its price. Good luck with the devil.

That's toasty. Do you happen to know what kind of case you have? And what's your budget on a new case? There is also the chance that your thermal paste on your CPU is starting to get old. You can easily get a new tube of that for $5, which should help bring your temp down a bit (a lot if it's old). Also, you might need to remove the cooler/case fans and any fan filters if you have them, and blow them like you've never blown before ;). How often to you clean our the nooks and crannies on your rig? You could also go down the route of an aftermarket cooler. Something such as the Hyper 212 EVO is actually an amazing little cooler, and will only run you around $30 USD. Poor cable management can also contribute to a hot case. If the front of your rig looks like a jungle, rerouting some of the cables might give it better airflow. There's a few other things that might help a bit too. - Some cases may have removable hard drive cages, giving the front intake more airflow. - Positive air pressure (more intake than exhaust) not only helps keep your rig less dusty, but doesn't starve the fans of air. Pro Tip - If you do decide to take the cooler off your chip, especially if you've never done it since 2010, be very careful. Stock coolers tend to use cheaper thermal paste which dry up and can get really tacky. After only a month or two, when I put liquid cooling into my rig, the stock cooler refused to come off, and I ripped my chip right out of my mobo. It was terrifying. Don't do that. Just gently wiggle it and give it kisses. What GPU did you get? EEEEEEEDIT: I don't know what your budget is, but I have an H80i, which I believe you can get for under $100, and I find that these little 120mm liquid coolers work great. I'm overclocking my chip from 3.5, to 4.2GHz, and I idle around 27-30C, when I game it's anywhere from 35-45 (usually around 40, and 45ish in summer), and under 100% load I top off around mid 50s.

There's not really anything else you can do. Your FPS is pretty good. Everyone has pipe dreams...

aah yes. This was some of the most fun possibly had. -go to 3:20-

I just want to add, if you're rocking an H100i, and a 4770, you really should be OCing. That would also improve performance. Make sure post processing is off. 25-35 in cities honestly isn't that bad FPS for cities in DayZ, especially on more populated servers.

Are you overclocking at all? Is DayZ on your SSD or HDD? All considering, that's playable for SA.

Fuck all of you. Yes i do want to play.

Fuck off. "OrLoK says: This is NOT how we do things here, with your post count you should know better."

Inception. touches himself while reading these. This is his source of euphoria.

The extra thick ones are practically plate steel.
