:P that's what I thought. oh so it's normal? cause i've had several characters and none of them had this, but maybe I just didnt run enough / or something. cuz my char atm is in good health and all that, sure he's logging an axe and a shotgun on his back but I'm not sure if those affect his running. I mean I can rung twice as long as him and its a videogame :D

I have no idea if this is actually a bug, but my character seems to get exhausted all the time. I'm not talking about a status that shows in the character panel, but he keeps panting and sounding like he needs to catch a breath, allll the time. I swear i run for 25 meters and it sounds like I just ran five marathons. Is this normal? I mean I do drink most pipsi and stuff I come thru and stuff but while this game is kinda realistic, I doubt 10 cans can decline someone's physical health so. :D I guess i wont pay it much attention until I get a status text but... still, weird!

so would you say I need to upgrade my pc for DayZ or can I have some hopes on the future optimizations? also I don't have the BE, nor a lot of money to spend atm :P but if I were to, should I get the BE? and maybe better cooling since my fans kinda shitty

yeah i'm pretty sure next time I either replace lot of parts or get a new pc, i'll get nvidia, since a lot more games seem to be better optimized for it. :P also Im happy first poster went through trouble to post facepalming overused img, while i clearly said I couldnt find a satisfying answer. anyway, thanks for replies :) About overclocking, like I said i'm no expert on hardware, just know some basics, I'm afraid of frying my system for a video game :P But maybe i'll look into that and do things the safe way.

I realise this has probably been asked a dozen times already, I spent a fair amount of time googling but without finding a satisfying answer I decided to just make a new thread about this I'm running DayZ SA with about 20-45 fps (mostly everything on low, Ive played with the text files too, and noticed that I can put textures and even shadows on high without an fps drop, but anything from the rendering settings lowers fps), that depends largely on where I am. Woods usually highest, but in larger towns it drops down drastically. I never played ArmA 2 properly, my brother had it installed on this PC and I remember him playing it with quite high settings. I understand these games play differently, there's plenty more for DayZ to load (zombies, all the loot, etc) but that's pretty much where my knowledge depletes. I'm not an expert on computer hardware, in other words :D My specs are: AMD phenom II x4 955 3.2 GHz processor 8 GB RAM 64 bit windows 7 ATI Radeon HD 6800 graphics card (im not 100% sure where to check its memory but running dxdiag it said 4000 MB so Ill go with that) Im aware my pc is getting a bit old, and its never been high end at all. but can I expect the fps to stay the same even in release or is there a dev or an expert that could give me some hope i'll be able to reach higher fps in the future? :) I get 40 fps while the game looks pretty good in some areas and I think thats fantastic, but its kinda sucky (though I can understand the reasons why lol) that I get really kinda stuttery in bigger areas. But those areas are usually where other people are too, so it'd be fantastic to be able to react the same speed as they :D in other news, I love this game :D Playing alone right now, but i wish i had someone to play with. Been trying to drag my friends along but they say the game feels too stressful. :(
