Hello, I found this game through Frankie's videos, anyway I do love the idea of this game and have downloaded it. On dayZ I have had a few problems. I'm normally a console gamer so I don't know that much about PC gaming so excuse my ignorance. I understand this game is still in Alpha and will have faults of its own, I am just hoping you guys could maybe help me out and recommend what I can do to alleviate some of my problems and get the game running as good as it can on my comp, thank you in advance for any help you can give. My issues: Whenever I close the game I get an error (I will edit this post with that error code later, I think its my graphics card crashing or something some code like 000000000x or something)Start up of the game is slower then I would have expected.I cannot play more than two hours with out a DC, even though my internet doesn't go down.It can be pretty choppy / laggy at times.Main menu buttons are not that responsive. They work, just half the time they don't seem to register that I have clicked them, despite them pulsing red.My computer (6 months old): Alienware 13, Intel® Core i5-4210U Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.70 GHz) 8GB Dual Channel DDR3L at 1600MHz (2 x 4G) 1TB (5.400 Rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 860M 2GB GDDR5 Windows 8.1 (64Bit) My internet: 4G Home broadband with vodafone Speedtest just now at peak times: Ping: 164MS Dnld: 11MB Upld: 5MB (Late at night it will hit up to 25mb download.) The game will run on max settings, I have also reduced them to to see if any increase in performance but not much change. I don't have fraps yet,should I get it? This comp doesn't have much on it and really should still be like new, and everything is updated. No im not an alienware fan boy, yes I know its a waste of money, and yes this laptop really is cheap and nasty and wont be getting another. At least im glad I didn't pay 3K for a top range one... Once all that's sorted I can finally get down to being a noob :)
