Sorry if I'm kind of hi-jacking this thread. But I had a few questions. How do some of you guys that have these high-end desktops get such poor FPS in cities? 17-18 FPS in cities would be unbearable for me. I'm currently using a laptop (Hate on me if you will. "There's no such thing as a gaming laptop. Blah blah" But I honestly use a recliner as my computer chair and it works freakin' awesome (Comfort wise) with my wireless mouse and laptop (that sits on a cooling pad/platform to breath). I'm no computer wiz, but here a my specs. GTX 860M Intel i7 4700 HQ @ 2.4Ghz. 16 GB RAM 1 TB HDD (EDIT) *Forgot that I have TWO 1 TB HDD with RAID 0 (?) Enabled. The one that makes them rune as if they are one unit. If it matters. I paid the company to overclock my CPU / GPU settings. Since it was a brand new present to myself I didn't want to risk messing up it by listening to some random youtube video. I know the max overclock on the CPU is 3.4, though I forget if they set it that high. I've been playing day z for some time now and have always set my graphics to the lowest settings. I get good FPS everywhere which is why I am confused. Why do you guys get shitty FPS in cities? I realize that you have your settings maxed out, but then if that is the case.. shouldn't you just lower them some? Also, should I, or COULD I run at higher than minimum settings? Im not sure if its something to be tweaked but I find it really annoying when I'm scoping in on a building and the texture constantly flips between high-res and basically no res (Proper terms?). Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Im sure we've all heard it before "Its a game, not real life." OR "It's alpha!" But honestly, do you know how much your body would sweat when sprinting around a city wearing a MINIMUM of say, 15 pounds of gear? Most rifles alone are usually at least 8 pounds. Fire axes have to be at least 10. (There's one here at my work. It's much heavier than I expected) I've done things similar to this when I was in the military; and let me tell you man, you'd be surprised how much water you can drink and still be pissing dark yellow (Which means you're basically dehydrated) when you're carrying around your gear and constantly moving. It makes me laugh to look at my character who has an SVD, FNX, Fire axe, High cap vest, 10+ cans of food and 3 full water bottles, and at least 200 rounds of ammunition. That's a LOT of weight. Poor guy. For me this only happens in high pop servers. Like 50/50. I assume its just server lag. ^ This. As I mentioned above.

As long as you don't cross the visible "Line" that exists out there. Works fine for me.

You have to say "Backpack" in a loud voice over the push to talk. Then when all of your items start floating around you, you have to make sure to say "Map". Oh, and be on the lookout for a fox with a bandit mask on. If you see him, make sure you yell "Swiper no Swiping!"

Thorough internet search huh? So you're telling me that you google'd "How to fix broken leg, day z standalone" and couldn't find a clear answer? Yeah... Im calling bullshit. Go away troll.

Don't do it!

Just put your tents way out in the west in the debug/non terrain area of the game. People in the mod did it. Streamers do it. I do it. We all do it. Anyone who has the time to go out there and run the entire outskirts of the edges of the map DESERVES to have your stashed loot.

Go away troll. No beans for you.

The research I've done on shock is that it degrades at 30/sec. So 45 seconds is -1350 shock. If the old caps remain of 5000 shock/health... That'd mean that ballistic helmets and vests offer a substantial amount of shock resistance now. IF that hit really was for 11k shock damage.

Unless I've heard wrong, wasn't there some sort of changes to the damage system? The sporter has always taken 1-3 headshots. I wouldn't even expect a 22 round to go through a ballistic helmet, though I don't feel like searching for that information. I don't think its a case of shots not registering, but more of the new damage system taking place. Seems that vests and headgear are actually worth using now. I've taken shots to the chest with nothing but a flash of the screen, no bleeding. Pretty much what would happen in real life if you had a true ballistic rated vest. You'd have one hell of a bruise, maybe a cracked rib, but you'd be fine.

Though I admit I haven't used a shotgun this patch. If they received a buff then I agree with you on their use. So many firefights go down in close quarters.

Hate me if you want; but it's not a clip. Its a magazine! And the shotguns are trash man. There's so many instances where I've been shot by one, or shot someone with DIRECT impact and they've somehow survived. They're seriously underpowered.

I get 40+ fps in cities easily. And I'm on a laptop. 2.7 ghz overclocked I believe, gtx 860m. Not to insult your intelligence, but for me the biggest change in FPS was changing my rendering resolution to the correct setting. Its often overlooked and can make the game run better while looking better. But its all voodoo magic in the end. I know people with better rigs than my own that get terrible FPS. There's so many factors that come into play, one of which is that the game is in alpha.

Instead of inciting a huge debate over which gun is more powerful or arguing over who's dick is bigger because he can kill a 12 year old equipped with an akm by using a blaze rifle, lets AGAIN, stick to the topic. If it hasn't already been said (And I'm sure it has) if we take this as a real world survival situation. If anarchy breaks out here in the states, most people are going to be carrying their weapons out in the open. They're going to be loaded. That person Is going to have ammo on them. So ASSUMING that at least SOME of the population would have figured out that there was a freakin' disaster going on, they'd be grabbing their home defense weapons and keeping themselves armed to the teeth. So yeah, at least SOME weapons should spawn with magazines loaded, or a few rounds in the chamber. How many of you own a handgun but don't own a matching magazine? Doesn't make much sense does it?

I realize that its a video game; but unless you've done anything even remotely related to combat shooting then you should please just stop talking. The sway is actually pretty damn good in my opinion. Your breathing plays a huge factor in shooting (accurately anyway). I challenge any of you to load up with the same amount of gear that your player is carrying into a real life scenario. Sprint 50 yards and then attempt to maintain a 6 inch shot group at 100 yards. I'd be willing to bet money that you couldn't.
