I will be playing normally, and all of a sudden, my computer lags HORRIBLY. My graphics card is VERY powerful. 3 gb of video ram and 5 gb of ram period. This is how I know it's not my computer. It didn't start happening until the update came, and when the spike does hit, my computers fan starts to rev up like crazy. This is detouring me from playing this game anymore and I highly suggest that you fix the problem before a lot of other people do so as well. My whole team has been talking about quitting as they are having the same exact problem.

This is a DayZ forum, Legacy. xD And I have a similar problem. I have VERY frequent lag spikes. And they last for about 5 second and happens about every 30 - 60 seconds. My computer specs are WAY over qualified to run the game. So I know it's not that. The update is what did it. It ran fine before 1.7.1.5

No, that honestly hasn't came to mind yet. But I guess I can try it.

My bad. It is most likely a 5770 since it has 1gb of ram. I asked my father, which bought the video card and he was like "It has 3 gb of ram!" Won't listen to him again. The point is, I was able to run it on the highest setting before the update. After the update, I reinstalled literally 7 times. I even completely wiped my computer to reinstall it again. However, it still does it. So I know for a fact that it's not my computer, since it didn't do it before the 1.7.1.5 update. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I just hope they fix it. Because it WAS fun as hell. Now, I would rather play Runescape or something. xD

See.. that's exactly the same problem I am having. One of my friends play in the same house that I do, with one of the worst computers ever, and it only gives him graphic lag. Not the same lag I am getting, which is why I KNOW it's not my specs. He says periodically, it will lag for him like that, but not as horribly as mine does. I REALLY wish that the devs would do something about those performance issues.

It's not a hardware problem.. which is why I didn't include my hardware.. -___- However, my graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 5700.
