Tactical Soldier Gaming

Rendering distance adds more objects to your screen. Big FPS killer. Most conflicts in my experience happen at roughly >200 meters

Uhm... orlok. I think you might have out done your self on this one. Wow...

Thanks guys. Helped me out a lot! I was looking for around 375 at the max price. Option Three should work out nicely. Also, that Z87 will fit into a standard ATX case, correct?

Hi there, I am looking to get a new Motherboard and CPU and am not sure which to get. I have a GTX 650 Ti and 8gb of Ram and a 1 TB Hard drive. I'm looking for something around $350ish all together, and that will last me into future games for at least a year. I'm not sure what to get so any help as to what would be the best would be much appreciated. Ty in advance.

I think you're missing the point of the game...

Do you have other Steam games? What mic do you have?

Check my post out... under this post click the link.

1k player servers will never happen. This would require a whole overhaul of the software the game is built on and would require the game to be completely redesigned. Think before you speak.

He's dead... lol.

rhinoCrunch has quite a few uploads, as long as you don't care about the whole stunt he pulled to get attention. Other than that I haven't seen any other big names making much about it.

I see a problem though! What if the server crashes? What if you get a "Message not received for so and so seconds" then you have to exit and are unable to play for five minutes because the server you were just on crashed and you can't join another? New Idea: -Change it so that you must press escape, then wait 30 seconds before you can exit the game. -Alt-F4 = death, the immersion is already broken so breaking the immersion by killing them doesn't really validate with me. -Upon joining a server, you must wait 60 seconds before looting items. -Joining more than 3 servers in let's say, a fifteen minute period, than you would have a "Cooldown" on joining servers for twenty minutes. This doesn't increase and seems a bit harsh, but if you have three servers go down on you in 15 minutes then maybe you shouldn't have walked under the ladder.

Hello! I think I have the best settings possible for getting good frames in DayZ Standalone while maintaining a good graphics quality on a Mid to Low end gaming PC My Specs: GPU: GeForce GTX 650 ti CPU: AMD A6-3650 APU Memory: 8 GB DDR3 RAM HDD: 1 TB OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Graphical Settings: This is what I run on, and I get 40+ frames outside of cities and 25-30 inside. First, go to your Video settings in game. Upon opening change your RENDERING RESOLUTION to 100% and turn VSync OFF. Then Go to TEXTURES Video Memory: AUTO Texture Detail: HIGH Texture Filtering: HIGH (changing this to high makes your graphics card take the load of processing/rendering the textures and can help performance on some builds) Then go to QUALITY Objects: VERY LOW (changes the rendering distance for objects, can massively improve performance) Terrain: NORMAL (changing this setting currently does nothing) Clouds: DISABLED (clouds reduce fps by a lot and really aren't that important) Shadows: NORMAL (changing this to low can give an extra frame or two but will change shadows to render as blocky and undetailed) Now go to RENDERING DISABLE EVERYTHING OR PUT AT THE LOWEST SETTING. THEN CHANGE EDGE SMOOTHING TO HIGH SMAA OR FXAA (SMAA or FXAA makes up for Anti-Aliasing which reduces jaggies on the edges of objects) After all this has been changed in game, consider taking these steps to maybe improve fps more in game: Go to this directory: Libraries/Documents/DayZ/Dayz.cfg Then change 3D Performance to 100000 (One hundred thousand) Also change these two from what you have them at to: GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; Please let me know if this has helped you and if you have any questions please comment below.

I play on a 650 ti Boost (EVGA) and I can hardly get thirty on on low settings, not sure how un-optimized a game could be, but apparently... I quite remember Arma 2 being this way too... way power hungry for graphics that really aren't astonishing. Good, but not enough to kill my pc this way. EDIT: Figured out how to get some improvements. 1. Turn of AA, use high SMAA 2. NO POST PROCESSING 3. No AO, HDR 4. Set TEXTURES to HIGH. This will make your card process it instead of your CPU. 5. Disable clouds, Shadows LOW, and Objects Very LOW. This gives me a reasonable 20-30 frames inside towns. Keep your 3D rendering at 100% aswell, it makes things look nice, and lowering it doesn't seem to help my frames at all.

It seems quite useless honestly, having a sleep method is useful in single player RPG's because it passes time quickly. In MMO's it does nothing beneficial, if given a bonus, what will it do? If they do implement it, it would have to be a required thing or no one would use it, and those that did would be missing out on loot, it also makes you completely defenseless. I don't see it happening, i mean, the only thing I could see it doing is to give you some sort of "rested" feeling, in which it would help with shakiness while aiming, definitely wouldn't cure any sicknesses. At most sleep becomes a required thing, like eating, and then how would you keep track of that? how often would it make you sleep? How long would you have to sleep before being "rested"? It seems like a boring feature, I don't play most games to sit in the same spot "sleeping" for five minutes, If I wanted that I'd go to bed at 1:30 in the morning, not stay up playing DayZ... lol.

By the time you got close enough to do that you would already know by whether they tried to kill you or not haha. I feel like it's just gotta be done the old fashioned way.
