POST-EDIT AND WARNING Due to user feedback and the sudden notoriety of this thread, I feel obligated to warn all DayZ players that the following information may in fact be incorrect or inapplicable to many of you. While this fix does work at least partially in some cases and some users have reported varying degrees of success, responses to this thread have helped us to narrow down what exactly the problem in the engine might be. I advice EVERYONE to read, at a minimum, the first page or two of this thread, if not its entirety, before deciding what your course of action will be (if any). PROCEED WITH CAUTION! . . . . . ORIGINAL TEMPORARY FIX FOR FPS LAG BUG WARNING: This fix is temporary and somewhat dodgy and/or against the game rules and terms and conditions, and I accept no responsibility for any bad things that happen to your account/game/computer. I have tested the fix myself in multiple scenarios and have not bumped into any trouble with Steam or BattleEye as of yet, but I can't guarantee anything. I know that many people are very keen to get back into the game this weekend, and with Rocket proclaiming that a fix will not be out for days, this might be your only option. HOW TO DO IT 1) Open your Steam library. 2) Right click on DayZ and select the Properties option. 3) Click on LOCAL FILES. 4) Click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache and let it do its thing. It might take a few minutes. 5) Once this is done, navigate to the Addons folder in the DayZ folder in your Steam folder. It will be something like: ...\SteamApps\common\DayZ\Addons\ 6) Find the file: weapon_attachments_textures.pbo 7) Make a backup of this file somewhere on your computer that is not in this folder (as a precaution). 8) Return to the Addons folder and rename the file to: BACKUP_weapon_attachments_textures.pbobackup 9) Done! As a result of this shoddy fix, weapon attachments (for at least the M4A1) will not be visible and magazines will look glitchy. But I figure most people will be able to live with this until Monday when Rocket speculates a permanent fix will be available. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
