Irenicus (DayZ)

This....my FPS is a bit on the edge at the best of times ie I get 45 average so I cant afford to lose 10fps (when others with higher margins may not notice), but now? It's so atrocious I cringe at even thinking of firing the game up, because I'm getting 9FPS in towns and 19 max....the only exception is when servers restart at which point It's fine for a while but never lasts long....I'm bummed.

Okay I found you! Thanks! Seems to work for me too! Not just temporarily either (unlike a lot of other changes to gfx settings which work only temporarily) so it's worth trying. Have yet to test extensively but so far so good! only downside=nasty jaggies

I really don't know why you are bothering to respond if we are idiots. We're not the ones pretending to be smart, but you seem to think feedback is complaining and you also generalised us all. If you were directing your comments at a small group of people then please accept my apologies but next time single them out instead of calling us all idiots and telling us to go play battlefield etc

Turning off AA for me works as suggested by someone here on the forum (though I cant seem to find his post to thank him, so if that was you THANKS) Note i'm running NVidia GTX 260 and AA is disabled IN-game. FXAA doesnt seem to affect it

"what is your purpose?" "I just WANNA ROCK!" :D

No you can't (confirm this 100% like you said), but you can be sure 100% that you're wrong. I wish you weren't. Nvidia or ATI is not the issue. It's also definitely not the static corpses, of that I am 100% sure (but unlike you I've researched and tested my theory) since it happens even in places with none of those corpses, nor barbed wire, nor barricades. The people I know of having the issue all, yes ALL have NVidia cards so both your theories are out the window, sorry.

hard to believe it but now we are at 900,000!!!!! My estimates were way off! At this rate we will see 1 million by the end of next week if not before!!! incredible!

changing any or some of the graphics settings fixes it temporarily but unfortunately this does not work as a permanent fix. Disabling AA seems to work but have yet to test extensively enough to say for certain.

Nope, doesn't have any relation to scene complexity. Only fix i have found so far is to disable Anti Aliasing

You sir, are not very smart are you? It's alpha. Requires feedback. We are giving required feedback. It might sound like complaining yes, because we love playing DayZ and cant play, but without people reporting bugs what's the point. Instead try adding something constructive instead of your condescending tone "go play some battlefield". Errr no, Don't tell me what to do or what game to play Okay? Go back to whinging instead of trolling people actually providing feedback

And it's not even that as I have been getting it in areas without any of those...so I'm afraid to say the issue lies elsewhere. I tried switching off AA as suggested by one user and indeed this does seem to get rid of the issue with the downside of jaggies

It's not just in main cities (though of course cities are even worse). For me at least. I'm getting atrocious frame rate ever since they rolled out the Arma2OA 1.62 update (ie non beta). Before I was lucky if I could get 25-60, average 40-45fps. Now I'm lucky to get even 20FPS and it's basically unplayable. I have never played vanilla Arma II but just tried it and it runs smoooooth as on exactly the same settings. My settings are also not on "stupid" (sorry op but your settings are way OTT even for your specs), I have tweaked the hell out of it and found the best settings for me are: Video Mem=Default Texture Detail=Normal Aniso=High AA=Low/Normal (makes no difference to FPS) Terrain Detail=Very Low Object Detail=Very Low Shadow Detail=High HDR Quality=Normal FXAA= PPAA=1/ PPAA Level=1 (set in Arma2OA.cfg) ATOC=5 Vsync=enabled Shading Quality=0 Frames Ahead=1 Post Processing Effects=Disabled I suggest trying everything on normal, except shadows on high or very high, disable PP, and HDR on normal or high.

and also in places where there are no static dead soldiers, so I don't think it's that. Funnily enough a guy mentioned in another thread that disabling AA fixes it, and I tried it and it seems to work. FXAA does not seem to affect this. EDIT: Seems i was wrong (yes I'm man enough to admit it!) and the spot in Berenzino I was at does indeed have the static zombie corpses. Sorry!

Where:Berenzino, on coast near bridge, southern side of berenzino Object: Bridge? Screenshot:

Hmmm I'm skeptical that it would be so simple, however I shall go and test this right now.

I know you're trying to help but research a bit first. Those options were always there, just in the *.cfg files and not visible in the UI. The only difference now is you can change them from within the game. So the graphical glitches are unrelated

errr and? That's not a bug dude, it's a feature. You can recuperate your gear from the bottom of the water :)

Where's the Illuminati? :P

sry double post

No need to make new threads when there are already multiple on the subject. It only clutters the forums and all it takes to avoid it is take 5 minutes to look through the forum a little or better still do a search before creating a new thread.

Nope, Not being caused by bodies....happening in areas without them :)

LOL not. Bet you won't say that once you start seeing the graphical glitches like everyone else. I'm not bitching, I know it's hard to get it all right, and I admire rocket and respect him so no QQ from me. However what I will say is I do not understand why the massive graphical glitches went unnoticed during testing. Unless something was changed between testing and the actual update...

Hahaha maybe so, but they didn't spawn in 1.7.2.3 so unless you had one previously....

If only. It's the buggiest update ever actually. Massive graphical glitches and poor frame rate make the game unplayable right now. :(

Think you need to read it again boy...lol
