Irenicus (DayZ)

Actually it's not called lag, it's simply called poor performance. I have the same issue and FPS is so atrocious right now (max of 17fps,most of the time 9 Nine fucking fps) It's unplayable

Ok, because I'm a nice guy I will give you a little tip to help have a little more visibility at night. Turn your HDR precision to high or very high, turn gamma up. You will now see much more than before

Wrong. Some servers are brighter than others and has nothing to do with the moon. So there IS a setting they can change. Don't reply to things claiming to know when clearly you don't! FFS

Use the SEARCH function before adding to the clutter of the forum. PLEASE people use your brains!

They changed something recently. Now you have to choose blank mission type (before it was CO-OP) and also in the filter type DAYZ instead of dayz IE To be clear, it HAS to be in upper case now, type dayz in lower case and basically you get no servers showing. Stupid stupid change and I would like to know who is responsible for this! They change shit and dont even bother to tell us. I had a blank server list until I discovered the above solution. Once you do that the server list works fine and all servers show up just as before. So nothing is really WRONG, you just have to change a couple of things then voila

Cool.

Geez. Did you even TRY to look for similar issues or posts before you posted YET ANOTHER THREAD ON THE SUBJECT???? FFS do some bloody research first before adding to the clutter of the forum. Would have taken you about 10 seconds to find out that it is a well known issue.

Profiles and steam cloud have nothing to do with it LOL

errr no not unless you use a private server with private hive or have more than one cdkey. It's worth reading readmes and so on when you install a game. If you had read even the most basic of information on DayZ you would know this instead of adding to the clutter of the forum And you think somehow this would be a good feature? Ummm no you obviously don't understand how or why DayZ works this way. If we were able to have multiple characters basically DayZ becomes another game with no consequences. If we were to have the game work as you suggest then it would die very quickly....not going to happen. THANKFULLY

It is how it works, but I don't see how what you're saying pertains to only backpacks being found....

If only it were so! There are basically very few voir none. I tried believe me, but since the update has forced servers to update their code as seen at the top of this forum, there are basically only private hive servers running 1/7/2/3 so no playing DayZ for me alas.

Updated original post to reflect current numbers :) Ok now taking (pretend) bets on what date we will hit the big ONE MILLION! My bet: 2nd of August Winner will receive: BEANZ :D

LMAO

What are you on about? No one uses flashlights because they don't want to be seen easily, NOT because they have NVG's since they are extremely rare and most people don't have them! Anyone saying they are not rare is lying or extremely lucky. I know heaps of ppl who have played for over 200hours, myself included, and some have found NO NVG's, some a couple of pairs, and myself ONE PAIR. One pair of NVG's in (looks at steam hour tracking) 275 hours. I know what you are saying but even without NVG's the smart players do not switch on flashlights due to it being so easy to spot in the darkness.

It has to be the latest patch ie core update 1.62, if someone has same issues with 1.7.2.3. Perhaps an incompatibility between the two (arma and dayz)? Just did some testing, more for performance issues I'm having than the glitches, because right now I can't play. Lowered everything and FPS was actually worse (ie lowered to lowest settings, except for resolution which is at native res of 1680x1050) anyway....result is, maximum of 17fps and this on a restarted server where I usually get 25-45 fps. Mostly though its a MAXIMUM OF 9FPS- 9FPS????? i mean wtf is going on???? I don't mind having lower FPS than most due to an older machine, but I mean, why can I play every other game with great performance, even the most recent games, but this Arma engine just runs like poo? I'm really sick of it. Nine frames a second???? Something is severely wrong with the state of this game right now, even ignoring the bugs and glitches. Oh and 9FPS is in country with little of anything around me.....if i open my inventory it goes down to 7FPS!?!?! I know it sounds like QQ but I'm merely expressing that I am frustrated because I cannot play right now, unless I enjoy a slideshow, which i don't lol.

It's not that. Those options have been there for a while, they were simply hidden in the cfg files, the only diff now is you can adjust them in-game. I think it's a combination of Arma II engine being poorly optimised (a generally accepted truth) and DayZ asking too much of the engine. Hoping for 1.7.2.5 very soon!

Awww I was hoping there'd be a few Satch fans who'd pick up on my reference, guess only one guy did :)

Ok guys I must apologise as it would seem I was wrong and it is in fact those damn static zombies causing the issue. I thought there were none at one place where I saw the gfx issues, but a friend pointed out that there are static bodies there. Anyway, just had to post to correct my mistake.

Cities are one thing, but generally please comment on whether your FPS are also much worse in general now thant they were before. Thanks! hopefully this will bring to the attention of the devs that this really needs looking at. I miss playing DayZ! it's really hard going into other games now! I tried Counter-Strike for a bit today (havent played it in months) and while it was fun for about 5 minutes..nothing is the same after DayZ.

As my collegue here suggested, the version you mention has nothing to do with any changes in DayZ. The patch version you mention is also not a server version but client. All changes are only in new versions of DayZ ie currently 1.7.2.4

Nope, not safe. Game is unplayable not only because of gfx issues but because of very poor performance every since 1.62 core update. :( :( :( :(

stupid forum. sorry for double post

I don't know what game you are playing but it's not DayZ. In case you missed my earlier sarcasm..I mean seriously are you kidding? Nights are so fucking dark you have to crank your gamma all the way up to see at all!!! No way! You've obviously been playing on servers with higher gamma nights but I can tell you 99% of people find nights unrealistically dark....NVG's have to stay. Sorry dude, and they won't get removed anyway so poll is useless. Batteries might be a good idea though but that's the only good idea I see in this thread - oh and the duping item cleanup.

This is a good idea, removing NVG's. I mean we don't need them since we can clearly see so well in the dark already.

Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered but my question is as follows: Personal Statistics page (of which I saw a preview by Rocket somewhere): any eta on when it will be implemented? Also what are the stats being tracked for unique players?
