wuffi (DayZ)

I had/have the same problem since a few month. Unfortunately no solution yet. For me it got a little bit better with the last update this means i now have about 30 mins (before i just had 5-10)

Turn off clouds (they are a huge preformance killer) And lowering shadows should also help especially in big towns. You could also lower max. view distance... But if it helps you are definitely NOT alone. Cherno for example is a no go zone for me (10-15 fps) :(

after 5-15 minutes playing i get a weird graphic failure that turns my avatar into slow motion (while the rest of the world still "moves" in real time. (for example zombies still attack in real time but i can no longer hit back at the same speed) btw. if i´m inside a house when this happens the walls of this house also dissapear but i can still see the loot thats inside the house. It happens at all graphic and detail settings. so changing for example from high detail to low doesn´t help at all. btw. i can then for example turn vsinc on (or something else that forces the game to reload the ingame graphic) and its all back to normal again... (for another 15 mins then it all starts over again) Anybody has an idea what this could be? btw. graphic card is not overheating i can even cool it down to 50° if i set the fan speed to 100%. But this simple does not stop :( This is how it looks like.

Btw i´m one of those old farts who think graphic is not verything. I grow up with vga 640*480 and 256 collors :) So for me (ok i ejoy the better graphic too) for example deus ex is still the better game than for example deus ex human revolution . The first game i loved the new one... well... graphic was nice.. game was ok but as said DEUS EX in 256 collors for example NOTHING comes close.

This was my city design :) (this enshured i still get 25 fps in the big cities too) but look at my first picture! Now i get a 25 fpm (M for per minute) with thenfirst picture graphics after 10-15 mins.

as said this is how i usually run dayz (without any fps problems even in towns) but after 10-15 mins just look at my first pic :(

First thanks for your answer.... Yeah when i enter this game i have the same problem (i guess everyone has "the people with the better hardware will just have it shorter ;) " It takes some seconds untill the game has loaded everything so you can move freely, BUT after this i can run around with decent FPS for about 15 minutes.... But then again walls start to dissapear again my avatar no longer has fingers... :) and this time it doesn´t go away untill i force the game to reload the graphic. So even changing it to higher levels will give me another 15 minutes. Then the problem returns. The strange thing is that i can do this forever. I don´t get low frame rates after i switch the graphic higher to get rid of the bug for another 15 mins (of course after this i will turn it down again to get the next 15 minutes with the "neW" lower graphic. But the Bug returns :( and my video card now runs at 50° ingame because i turned the fan to 100% so i can definitely rule out overheating of my video card. So could it be my cpu? because the cpu gets quite hot in this game. 67-69° after playing dayz for a while, But then again if its the cpu why can i still play forever if i simple change graphics every 15 minutes? (this takes about 20 seconds and definitely will not cool down the cpu)

Not if you do it at 5am in the morning after (WAAAAY to much beers) ;) HEy we maybe have been morons but even 10 beers laters ;) we at least have not been total morons. A simple moron would have just fired at the door. But WE have been smarter... we even build something that will stop the bullet after it penetrates the door. Little details like that we have missed it 2 times and he now has 2 holes in his cellar are hopefully lost in translation ;)

LOL But for my defence this was my last attempt. Everything possible turned off + all graphics at the lowest levels as possible. (usually i play it one medium graphic "this still gives me 30 fps in the cities") Untill i get this bug. Of course just like everyone else... in the woods we could all play it on ultra high ;) Well the specs... LOL OMG i hate to say it but the computer becomes ancient :) But anyway i know that dayz can only deal with 2gb of memory and 2 cpu cores anyway.... so don´t laugh Intel quad core 4 * 3,1 ghz Geforce gtx 650 4 gigs memory (and as said the game did run stable on medium graphics bevore 0,49) + a new computer will be my christmas gift for myself this year :)

Damn looks like nobody had the same problem (and was hopefully able to fix it somehow ;) ) It came to me with the 0.49 update (so i stopped playing because back then i got it every 2 minutes) right now i get it maybe all 15 minutes... But its still game breaking for me... No problem if it happens somewhere in the woods... BUT if you are all geared up and get killed by 2 zombies because of a bug that hits you at the wrong time in a city over and over again definitely kills the fun of the game for me...

Well in real live YES a "bullet resistance" vest (because lets be honest something like 100% bulletproof does not exist) does not protect you from stabbing. I don´t know how they made it ingame... But my (personal) impression is that in this game body armor does absorbe some of the bullet damage.

Well sorry to tell you but you are wrong ;) A simple sledgehammer will open doors WAAAAAY quicker than any pistol for example. It´s not like in the movies... Call us crazy but we tested this with a 9mm pistol (just for the record it was the door of a friend of mine and he allready ordered a new door anyway ;) It took us about 10 shots at the lock to get it open (and we still needed some body force to finaly crack it open after this)

Well if its done the dayz way i don´t have to worry anyway because i fear you will have to put another bullet into the "machine" gun after every single shot anyway ;) If we have learned anything,,,, then that those eastern europeans may love their guns but they definitely hate it to own just a single mag for their guns :)

No. (because i don´t want dayz become an ordinary shooter) If i want to play a game where i can shoot everything that moves i simple play one of the 1000 shooter games that are allready out there. But for this game HELL NO.

5000 Zombies for every human? Lol then you can count your frames in minutes instead of seconds.

No wonder that you wont see objects at a distance. Just think about it your max view distance is set to 1000 and your "preferredObjectViewDistance=2000" so as long as you don´t adjust view distance its absolutely pointless to have objects set at 2000

Well before you make zombies (ok infected :) harder a good start would be to fix the "eagle eye" + their thermal vision first. Because as long as a zombie 500m away spots you even if you are inside a building any kind of hord would be the death for everyone who has not allready found the best gear.

I reduced the viewdistance too 1800 and the preferredObjectViewDistance to 1200 This gave me a quite a boost on my fps Maybe you should give it a try

Hey wanna trade the single round against one of the 30 sks i have found in the last 10 hours... (Of course without any ammo at all :D

I found dozens of sks + a lot of pu and long range scopes. the bad well i found 1 in numbers ONE clip for the about 30 sks i could have owned in the last 10 hours.

btw. did anybody found ammo for the sks? Since the update i found about 10 sks (but not a single bullet for it) same for pistol mags NONE but i guess if found 500 bullets (i no longer even pick it up) for my magnum

I can no longer zero in the pu-scope. Is this a bug or is this planned (if havn´t played for a while so i´m not shure ;) Sorry! Can be deleted. Looks like this was just a bug only i had. its working again (after 2 restarts :)

Wow 1,2 gigs :thumbsup:
