Going to give this a go! i7 2600k - GTX560 - 16GB Corsair Vengenace 40-50 in the wilderness, 25-35 in towns. Will update when I have tried it. EDIT: Very slight increase, around 5fps but I'm happy with that. Thanks!

Title says it all. I can play the game fine if i'm not near a major town, but as soon as I start to get closer to being actually in a major town, such as Cherno my framerate starts to plummet the more I go into the town. It doesn't matter if I change settings or not, or alter the launch options, I go into a major town grab what I can with my framerate at ~15 without getting killed and get out of there, and of course as soon as I go out my framerate starts to become stable and well, playable again. Anyone else have this issue?

Gave up on DayZ to be honest, none of the recent "performance fixes" have actually helped whatsoever, it's just getting worse and worse. That's why i'm waiting for The War Z, at least they have a game engine that works. Not to mention that it is a stand alone game and not a mod. http://thewarz.com/

Still waiting on a "performance tweak" that actually sorts the framerate issues most are having in major towns. Don't get me wrong, I love the game but going into a major town is basically a core aspect of gathering supplies as it's along the coast where you spawn.

Don't worry about it, I was very lucky to find a single morphine injector and have escaped!

I am unable to get out of the barracks due to have broke my legs and I cannot vault over the bench =( EDIT: Sorry Frank, I was ingame to see if I could get any morphine from the rooms in the barracks, turns out it's a no go.

Really, no one would be willing to help me? =(

What's going on guys, i'm Flam3 (Flame), also Flam3 in Arma 2. I'm friendly unless i'm shot at or I don't get a response after asking if someone near my area is friendly after numerous attempts at making peace =)

I'm running a Q9650 at the moment, and it's done me good for a couple of years now. I will be getting an i7 in the next couple of weeks though. Seems a bit daft that to play a mod (damn good mod at that) with stabl framerate you'd have to upgrade your system? I suppose it puts my mind at ease a little to know that i'm not the only one having the issue, not to mention that you're running 2 more cores than me, Booker. Hopefully one of the patches will actually fix it instead of saying it has.

Just back online again, still needing help. I urgently need a medic at the Southern barracks at the NW Airfield. I have just found a M136 but it seems like one of the doors in the barracks thought I shouldn't have it and shut itself on me and broke my legs and I have ~5000 blood. My friend (Whom I know in real life and was beside me at the time) tried to go out to get me some aid, but unfortunately failed and got himself killed. So i'm begging someone to come to my aid as this is my very first time finding an incredibly rare weapon like the M136, and I would very much like to be able to use it later on down the line, thanks! If rescued I would be more than happy to be a bodyguard for whoever saves me, they just need to ask me on Steam if i'm free and i'll do my best to come help escort you to your rendezvous with your patient! Steam name is Flam3

I honestly don't think these "performance tweaks" are even helping. As soon as I reach a major town such as Elektro or Cherno, my framerates plummet to near unplayable. It's starting to get on my nerves, this mod is amazing and has great potential, but the fact that the performance seems to be getting worse than it is better is making me lose interest in the mod. I understand that it is in alpha stage, but it should at least be playable with decent framerates. (Which is has been in past patches, but seems to be deteriorating in my opinion.)

Honestly, I didn't enjoy it at all. I've been in firefights before, yeah your adrenaline pumps, but I don't go off screaming and cursing at them if I kill one or two. I just found the video rather annoying, and felt it was rather pathetic how you acted when you killed them.

Shame on your 3rd person usage. And I think you got the guy after the first couple of rounds... if you played in first person you'd only have to fire a couple at his head =/

Great, another thread that simply asks if the game is optimized or not, (which it isn't, those saying they have decent rigs or whatever and are running with steady frames are just lucky) turns into a "My rig is better than yours and can get 300+fps on all ultra high settings". Before you start, i'm not jealous, I have a decent rig myself, I just don't see the need to boast, it doesn't help anyone it just shows what a complete douchebag you are or how much money your parents have because they buy your expensive computers. Bottom line here is that for some people on various different rigs, it runs fine, for others it doesn't. Throughout the patches, I have had horrible FPS, then after the next patch I get stable FPS so on and so forth. Some people say it's Arma II's engine that is the problem, others say it's the mod. That's why we are here, to test it.

I did find the bit funny when you shot the guy and his team mates thought he accidently respawned. I think the main reason the OP has the title how it is now, is that some don't pay attention enough and make stupid decisions that get them killed, i.e looting your friends corpse in the middle of the open, or in this case the killers line of fire due to their own stupidity. This is a prime example of why you need to be damn careful if a friend of yours got shot or you are looting someone you killed. Me and my mate were roaming North West of Mogilevka and we seen a survivor run right through the open past us, I took the shot and killed him. I was ecstatic that I got the guy on the first shot, we both ended up running towards the corpse to loot him. Whilst we were looting we get shot at, we shit ourselves and legged it to the nearest cover. We were lucky that we both escaped and my mate ended up spotting what we hopped were our shooters bail the in the other direction, we didn't bother going back to the corpse to loot what we left. Moral of the story is to scout your surroundings after you get a kill or become easy prey.

Love the idea of a flare gun, would definitley make it more atmospheric during the night especially having the light from the flare glowing from above. +1

It does indeed seem that Nasir is mad. And it's rather pathetic that he calls those that post harmless memes on a video that he state he wasn't in/killed in, "WoW kids". That is a very immature response from someone that is supposed to be "old and wise", and of course using the term "brah"? How immature can you get? Not to mention the fact that you say you don't care, yet you care enough to reply to everyone? A mature person would respond in a mature manner, not rant on like some butthurt 12 year old playing on his xbox and lost. Face it, you got served 'brah'. Nice video OP!

I'd be impressed if you done it without the use of 3rd person :P

Apparently "ammo quantity tracking" is supposed to help with the ammo situation. Not sure though. Any more news as to when the update will be out?

I'm still getting FPS drops when in cities. In patch 1.7.0 my FPS was fine, seems like each patch makes it better, then makes it being back at square one?

Would be a bandits wet dream to be honest.

Next you'll be wanting to add "trainable skills" where you get better at them the more often you perform such an action... In all seriousness I dislike the idea of adding "classes" in that manner, but I do think that there would be survivors that were a mechanic or doctor/nurse before the apocalypse hit. So there would be a small chance that you'd spawn as one of said survivors with a profession and would spawn with a toolbox or basic medical supplies, but without a weapon as they wouldn't have an advantage over everyone else but would be of more use alive (or dead if your a bandit). I mean if someone managed to lose a horde of infected but took some hits and came across another player and befriended them and then found they are a doctor/nurse as such, you'd be thankful you found them as they could patch you up, maybe not for free, but still it would put level of teamwork back into the game as such.

I feel your pain, OP. I had the same experience in the North Elektro Firestation. Only the left garage door was blocked off along with the main entrance up into the tower itself. I can understand the need to put some up to defend yourself... but why block the entire entrance completely so others can't get in to search, it's just spiteful. Seeing as the barbed wire fencing seems to be very common, I think a pair of wirecutters should be implemented into the game, if they aren't in it already, but make them quite common as well and put them in your item slot. I'm assuming you can only remove said blockades if you have an entrenching tool, which, for me are quite rare.

Seems like with each patch/hotfix, our FPS fluctuates from one patch being decent enough without any drops when a few infected are near, then the next messes it up. So all-in-all I think it has NOTHING to do with our systems and is the coding for the game itself, it will take some time to optimise it so I reckon patience is key here. Stop all this BS about AMD/Intel systems being better or worse and showing off how big your virtual dick is because you have a better rig than some people and can run it at 200+ FPS (Yes, exaggeration...).
