Welcome to the "Low FPS in cities club".. Please know that you are not alone, as Everyone has it. It might be worth your while to check out some performance enhancing threads as they do help.. but don't expect miracle cures or massive gains.

I can tell you now what they will do, they will come here moaning loot is broken they are going to ask for their money back or not play.. if they don't revert it back. Like they all did last time.

I want the women player pawns to have to find maxi pads for their monthly cycles. It's that sort of realism we should be aiming for here, none of this lets pretend we are just a game nonsense.

Don't get attached to your gear x10 then ^_^

I cant even bring myself to find the DayZ.exe these days, never mind a scope. I have been sitting on this investment for what feels like YEARS.. when is Beta? I'd like to participate in that before I get arthritic fingers. Man I'm grumpy today.

People will be coming back saying loot is too much now.. after the whole uproar of the non-existent loot? I have no words.

Yep, Just like Minecraft when someone aimlessly smashes your laborious 15 hour epic Castle structure to smithereens before your very eyes.. Just because they can and it makes them feel all powerful and stuff.

I think it's probably a dropped feature, I've not seen it mentioned officially on any livestream, Update, Dev blog, Roadmap or random Twitter comment for a long, long time. I just can't understand why a once anticipated feature just got panned or rather forgotten about.. without warning, or if indeed there was and I missed it, I'd love to see it. Pretty sure Rocket himself wanted this to happen someday.. but of course, he aint around here anymore.

Disclaimer - It's a BUMP.. well aware of the fact it's an old topic.. but this is the first thread I found on radio stations using simple search terms 'Radio' for topic titles. I hate this forums search function, it just sucks, maybe it's me and I'm stupid and just can't use it.. whatever. But yeah, anyway.. Didn't they get a bunch of people writing up stories and things for radio stations? what in the heck happened to this whole thing? it was a widely anticipated feature at one point. I would in most cases usually be saying to myself.. "hey, give them a break it's Alpha, we only recently got a working 'Vehicle' don't push it!, they are busy working on other stuff" But in this case it's something never mentioned by devs (or if it is I'm oblivious to it), so am I right in fearing this is a feature we may never see?

Indeed, it's not your CPU.. Your PC is far better than mine on nearly all accounts and I can run the game, have you tinkered with the ingame settings? try that.. turn down some settings and turn off motion blur (post processing) also if I remember correctly, there's a setting where you can change the 3D resolution.. if it dont already, that should be set to match your Desktop resolution.

Unfortunately a lot of people downloaded the game from watching twitch streams or YouTube videos of pure PvP, not understanding that DayZ was (and should never be) 'all about' PvP, but rather have a strong emphasis on survival. I mean, the average lifetime of a player back in the mod days was what an hour at most? the game was hard, SA has sadly been too easy for too long, So to a newcomers perspective, I can sort of understand their frustration. Hopefully they will see past the challenge of Zombies and Loot and come to see that it's these very challenges that made DayZ as popular as it is, PvP when it used to happen, was actually shaped around the survival aspect of the game itself for the most part. You diodn't want to lose your loot because it was damn hard to get it all back, making PvP encounters even more heart pumping and epic.. I'm quite sad they are blind to such gameplay and the value it gives to a game that was born from such a style. People don't care if they died when they can be fully geared within 20 minutes of spawning, where's the tension and adrenaline gone in that kinda play? You simply got to embrace the difficulty and in return I promise anyone.. they will enjoy the game even more that when it was easy.

Haha, of course I know the difference, It's a real shame that some people evidently don't. I can't blame folk for undesirable big game changing mechanics and gameplay.. the Devs have been far too accommodating and lenient while testing this game.. and unfortuantely now it's time to go back to it's roots, they are gonna have to put up with this crap.

I took this from wiki.. I cannot emphasize the word SURVIVAL and HORROR in that paragraph enough, DayZ was always going to be hard, just as it was in the early Mod days, when the game became what it is now! it was just a matter of time. I'd suggest people get used to it, or else your setting yourselves up for major disappointment. Can you honestly say you have needed to survive before? or felt any sort of horror?

You and your buds can find plenty of PvP in CoD pal. See ya in your next post where you ask how you get your money back.

WOW, so much Talent! All deserved to win, must have been hard to pick a winner. I like them all, even some of the entries not here. Well done to all participants. I love Art, even if I suck at it myself, it's that inability that entitles me to really appreciate a good piece, I'm really looking forward to see what the next batch of Artists come up with :)

I love it when a Hammer hits the nail on the head.. Not on the thumb.

This is like a whole new spin on the once popular.. "Any friendlies in Cherno?" Nice try..

When I come back to play someday, I am going to make stocking Deerstands my endgame after gearing up. Literally going around dropping loots at random, for those who may dare to wonder. Make people think "Holy crap loot spawns in Deerstands now" :)

What the hell has she gone and done to that cigarette filter? all bent up and shit.. It's probably duckarsed too! Why in the hell does her palm/thumb effort.. look like a (small) penis? Flip it around and you got yourself a bloke, with a missing thumb, doing the business on the old Bog.. Hot Chick? This game and forum never cease to amaze me.

So yeah, I was gonna watch it, then I saw the nice.. what one can only assume is a subliminal message there in the YT video preview. Not really sure it's going to be to my taste.. But what if it's funny? can it be funny? Nah.. I'm off to watch me a Dayz stream while I drink beer until I sleep and enjoy someone elses journey.

I perhaps blabbed on about SSD's that much it came across as that would fix your problem.. but I'm afraid to say, it likely wont. Basically a SSD is just a hard drive that works a lot faster than a normal mechanical one. You asked about upgrading and with a rig like yours the most logical upgrade is to slap in a SSD. Your PC itself is of good spec and I'm pretty sure whatever other games you thow at it would perform excellently . Like I said before, before it got lost in the "SSD's are awesome" talk.. DayZ is really poorly optimized (or at least that's what people say) would an Intel i7 improve your situation, yes it probably would, but to be quite honest.. the processor and GPU you already have in your PC are ample for playing games. You watch YT video's and wonder "WOW, there game looks silky smooth like butter" that's because most people who stream or record YT videos have insanely good £2000 PC's capable of such things. So, lets get back to the topic (SSD's aside), When do these frame drops occur? near towns? or can they happen anywhere.. even in woodland? Have you tried turning down the graphics settings ingame? That would be my first port of call. Stick everything on low and see how it performs, if it's good.. crank each setting up a notch until you find a happy place :) There wont be many people who can play this game on super duper uber settings, even with monster rigs.

Most all SSD's are good these days, I would say though look to get one with good read/write speeds (read some reviews) and with at least a few years warranty, something like Samsungs Evo series are pretty good, I have even heard good things about OCZ drives. Demongroover is 100% correct, just putting Windows on an SSD improves system startup time and general performance such as application and webpage loading dramatically, also if you get one with enough space (ideally anything over 120gb) if you put games on the drive too, you may notice faster loading times in games, such as when a map loads.. things like that. Honestly, I used to think SSD's were a gimmick to make people spend money (back when they were a lot more expensive than they are today) until I actually took the plunge and grabbed one last year, boy was I wrong about them.. so much so, I shall never go back to a mechanical HDD. For me, all they are useful for now is mass storage, such as media files and some of my not-so-played games.

Yeah I agree, now that SSD's are a lot more affordable than they once were, its one of the best upgrades you can give to a PC. CPU:AMD FX-6100 Six-Core Processor @ 3.30 GHz GPU:NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960 (is awesome and not expensive :3) Motherboard:ASUS M5A78L-M LE 16 GB RAM 550W Power Supply by Cooler Master You should be able to play DayZ with that setup, surely! that's better than my current rig! I dont know why your having issues to be honest, but stick an SSD in it. You can always do more in the future. I'm curious does your PC play other games OK? DayZ is notoriously cruddy in the performance department, speaking frankly but truthfully.

You got me fella, I don't even know what a competition drill is :lol: I could guess, but I would probably be wrong, please feel free to enlighten me.

I think it's by design, I mean.. who can realistically hold a perfectly straight and still aim? without aid of a bipod or mounting the weapon stationary? especially after exercise such as running or even under intense fear of something ravaging you to death. Willing to bet you or anyone for that matter, would not be able to hold a steady aim. Yes it's a game and people always use that "but games aint real life" card, that's fair enough I guess.. however in this case, on this game.. I would prefer that aiming and shooting, especially with magnified scopes to be hard to do.
