Most people with beefy systems never usually give their harddrive a 2nd thought because 7200rpm usually does pretty good for everything else, but dayz is a completely different story. I honestly think, they made the game from a performance pc, what game's that are out right now (besides Planetside 2) Needs fast Harddrive Read/write speeds. BI took it to the next level.

you sir are very misleading, is it lag issue or a FPS issue? Your processor is good, your video card is good, your RAM is Decent(compare to arma 2 It's Great). one very important piece of hardware you are not listing. That my good sir would be your HARD DRIVE!!!. let me take a wild guess it a standard 7200rpm?

first of all, your start up parameters is off the max is Maxmem=2047, thats the highest the game allows. Visual settings in Dayz should be set at 1600, 10,000 is pointless because dayz doesn't let you see that far. Seems like you got a hefty system but how are you launching the game and where is it even installed? Tell me where is it installed. Where you bought the game. How updated are you NET framwokrs.dll's (Stupid question) Is your PC completely Updated, such as Bios,Chipsets,firmwares,hardware...etc Do you like kittens?

put it on a ramdisk, if it increases your fps even by a little bit, i would invest in a solid state drive. a small 60GB or 120GB would be big enough, us your HDD your using now as your Main OS HDD and use the SSD as a 2ndary drive for your games.

#1. Open Steam. #2. Select arma 2. #3. Right click Arma 2, Select Properties. #4. Go to Local File tab, Select Verify Integrity of System Cache. (Do this to Arma 2, Arma 2 OA and then the DLC's If you have them. Once this step is completed, close Steam) #1.Open Steam. #2. Select Arma 2. #3. Select "Play Game" Allow any "Updates,Administrator Permissions and or Steams Server update" #4. Allow game to enter to the Main Menu, Log out of game, back to Steams Library, #5. Select Arma 2 OA #6. Select "Play Game" Allow any "Updates, Administrator Permissions and or Steams Server Update's" #7. Allow game to enter to the Main Menu, Log out of game, back to Steams Library. ( Do these steps to the DLC's IF you have them,) battle-eye needs updating and so does steam, at times u'll need to repeat these steps later on when battle-eye/Steam updates. Steam refers to it as "First Time Setup Phase" for arma games it's required to start the game from steams library from time to time to ensure constant updates. (Note) You'll have to do this only when you run into battle eye updates or steam updates. If your missing files such as deleted/courrpted data, In that case you follow the first steps without launching the game, just verify the game cache, and you'll be good to go.

woot!

The leaked footage was apparently really old,i think people need to just take a deep breathe and wait and see what dean hall and his team have in store for us, Yes it might be a polish version or maybe something totally unexpected, these speculations of what will and might be, are just he said she said BS. Both side have promising response's and valid arguments in a sense. so the best thing for everyone to do, is kick back and watch, when the game gets released it may take another year for the game to get up to the expectation that the dev team wanted it at. Things like these takes time, money lots of hard work and skill. Dayz was just a fun project dean and his team threw together, playing around in a sense... now look at him, he looks extremely focused and determined, if he made dayzmod with the *playing around sense* imagine what he will make when hes dedicated and focused. Now lets all be good, patient and wait for a game to be released then we can go into discussions on how badass it is or how much of an epic fail it is. Cheers

dude really, go back to your nazi zombies and shut the fuck up, your gibberish.your post are gibberish, you make no reasonable statements or anything for that matter, you just argue with anything anyone says, it'll never end with you. it'll keep going and going till your talking to yourself. just get the fuck over it, PC smashes the shit out of consoles. if you argue that then your a dumb ass. you act as if anyone on this planet gives a fucking shit what you say and or think? The quote below, lol who the fuck do you think you are? your a bitch, thats exactly what you are, a stupid, patheic, whiny ass bitch. "Ugh, again with your "I know what'll happen, but provide absolutely nothing to back-up my statements". Seriously, if you respond to me, you better have something that actually makes sense. Or I will just take everything you say as if a brick wall said it, since it can come up with actual facts. I bet it can answer why it hurts when you run into it. As of right now, you can't." Now do everyone a favor and just shut the fuck up. No one here. Gives a shit about your console. No one here gives a god damn shit about your lame ass opinions, thus even surprising me even further that your dumbass can even form an opinion, Last but not least. If you were a bright young lad (which your NOT) you'd be posting these topics in the dev/team forums for Standalone and not the fucking dayz mod from arma 2, you fucking idiot. thus coming to our conclusion that you are A STUPID FUCKING GOD DAMN TROLL! Now please shut the fuck up. but i will say this, xbox 360 with kinect is the best god damn thing for family entertainment by far, don't think anything will beat that in at least 6 years

why on earth would they make consoles even remotely similar to a PC's? that would be ridiculous. Yes i own a High performance PC and no i dont have an xbox 360 or ps3, but i wouldn't go on my computer to go onto a gamming community site that is meant for PC asking if the game will ever be available for console. i mean common, if they some how manage to make it for console, it would be a wreck, mine craft can be dumbed down a bit and still has it's own charm, but dayz.. it'll be a mess from start to end. you obliviously never played dayz, because if you did you'd know how impossible it is. yea they can make it for console, but it will be utter shit, mark my fing words, the dayz standalone that comes out for Console will be the biggest piece of shit ever sent to console from PC... in fact it'll be so fing shitty, the PC community might even feel the backlash of the effect. If over a million people buy it for consoles and every single one of them is pissed off. who is going to pay the price? The PC community will, because everyone who bought it for console is pissed off and want's a refund. If they loose money, that means less updates, which means a loss in productions for patches and development. All because they decided to fucking please everyone, but in the turn of events, they just pissed off everyone that bought it for console.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Opinions are like belly buttons, Everyone got's one!!

Personally i think putting it on a console would be a huge waste of time/money, I've played arma 2 arma 3 and dayz with a Xbox controller on my PC, the only good it would do is if i was in the prone position with either a sniper rifle and or a machine gun, but if someone walked up from behind me, the idea of turning around is utterly pointless. the only good that controller does is makes it easier to shoot people. but movement and everything else just goes right out the window. One thing i would like to straighten out, PC games are meant for PC, Consoles can not play games that are meant for PC, usually, they are just way to big, But a PC can make every game a console can as long as it's allowed by the maker, and they usually tend to play a lot better. PC has and will always be the heavy weight when it comes to gaming, consoles will never stand up to a pc, because if they did, they would cost a shit load of money that most people wouldn't even buy. console games are stuck with the same ole crap, PC has the area needed to expand, console does not. and if the console did you'd certainly noticed the difference in the price tag. Xbox/PS is for the younger community or people that like playing in boxed environments with no free path play, always a path set and always a path that has to be followed, i mean that Walking Dead video game is a perfect example of an Xbox environment is like. From everyone on this forum either they agree with what i say or not, but we all know deep down inside they do. Just make the fing switch to PC. and leave your troubles behind you and start a whole new set of problems. plus if you did switch and you found out that you have a knack for pc's you can start a fing career with that, what kinda career can u start with an Xbox or PS?

The best way for this to go is a mild manner NPC interaction, give the player something to do in the chance he gets bored, In retro spec, the game design needs to have some type of forward momentum, having a Lite NPC interaction will give players who want to or do not want to, to have a chance to interact with them. example of a NPC interaction: You walk up and find him, out of chance usually, and he gives you a hard mission such as hes unable to leave so you need to go get it for him, in return of your services he will give you something of value, it's very important for people not to cross the Lite NPC interactions with a heavy NPC interaction, this is a survival game, an apocalyptic one at that, so the npc would have to be rare, the idea of a leveling system would completely crush the game where it stands, so it's extremely important to not cross that line. The Freedom Aspect of Arma 2 is what makes the mod so great, but, dayz mod is not arma 2, in arma 2, no matter what type of style your playing. capture flag, domination, wasteland. all have a sense of direction, now dayz on the another hand, you get dropped on the beach. That's its, you make your own adventure the way you see fit, which is one of the most important aspects of dayz, which separates it from games like left 4 dead and crappy knock offs like warz and state of decay. but the sense of doing something, because lets be honest, humans are assholes, which gives the bandit so much power, but what of the Hero? can he actually do something heroic? that's why a Lite Module NPC interaction should defiantly be considered if not tested in beta. i mean common, a world filled with Zombies and players, there needs to be a middle man to bridge that gap, and that Middle Man would be the NPC's. Please keep in mind, i said a Lite Version NPC Modeul, thats means something similar to the gunstore and general store in waste land but much more interactive.

Weather you want a change in the stand alone or not, what ever happens, happens. You can wish in one hand and crap in the other, Which one do you think is gonna fill first? Either way you look at it, dayz mod, is not gonna be much different than the standalone. It would be almost impossible to create another game but around that same style, Warz, State of Decay. All trying to get a piece of something that everyone is already playing. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, But dayz standalone will not be that much different. the only few directions standalone could go is towards dead island, Think of Dayz Mod as a huge Turd(poop) then look at Dayz Standalone (polished turd) where in that can you make such a change that would revamp everyone thought's about dayz. please, don't get me wrong. I love dayz, it's probably one of my favorites. But i just dont see how they can change everything and yet keep the same feel.

Troubleshooting Arma2/Dayz for Steam user's Steam has a lot of different functions. One of the best is the File System Checklist. This checklist allows users to recover basic data that may have became corrupted/deleted. Arma 2 and Steam has a unique way of being high maintenance, every so often, Steam will need you to play the games from it's library for the "First Time Setup" phase, even though, you may have done this before, you gotta do it again, it gets important updates for registry keys, Battle eye and important updates from steams servers. To fix problem's such as: Missing or invalid cd-key, Missing or deleted content and many more different issues. Open Steam with administrator rights. Right click Arma 2, Select properties, Go to Local File tab, Select Verify Game Cache. (Do this to all Arma 2 related games in your library) The order in which the games should be install/updated, should be by the date the game was released: Arma2/Arma2OA/Arma2PrivateMilitaryCompany/AArma2BritishArmedForces. Once you have done those steps to all the arma games/dlcs, you got to close Steam out completely. Reopen steam, select arma 2 and click play, wait till you get to the main menu, then log out. (Do this to all Arma 2 related games in your library). Once this is completed, your arma files will not only be updated but scanned and all are accounted for. i copied this from my old thread sry about how big it is

have you verify the system cache for each game in your arma library inside steam? if your missing any pbo and or cargo/deleted/missing is always handled through the Verify Game Cache checklist.

as long as your running as administrator, the firewall wont affect it... now battle eye/patches may have issues, they don't follow under the same rights, always update under admin rights when ur screwing with arma2 for your bandwidth just test your internet speed, type it in google

steam use's common folders to hold the games, arma 2 use's common folders to, but arma 2 common folder holds the PBO/BiSign files that make up the visual index of the game. if you have retail version, it should be inside your primary HDD/SSD in your Program Files/Program Files (x86).under Bohemia Interactive. make sure that your file direcotry path in the dayz commanders setting are set to the correct places. Where did you get the game from? Regedit is a good tool to make sure you keys/mains are set to the right directory as well

i'll do it, give me your cords and the map your on and i'll come kill u

look inside you arma 2 oa folder, if it's not in your folder go to google and type in arma 2 beta launcher downloads, for retail, it downloads all PMC BAF arma2 arma 2oa, you just manually need to apply them. When you install the dlc's correctly, when you open arma 2 OA there should be 4 arma 2 icons at the bottom right of your screen.

Jesus Christ that's an annoying problem. Maybe internet protocols are being screwed with on exit, or your installation files of your OS, like Steak&potatoes mentioned, could be screwing with your connections. if i read correctly, other computers/tabs in your home still receive the signal but your computer is the only one that's affected? try doing a stress test load with another computer (if possible) and see if the problem happens again. it';s very rare but wireless routers have been known to short but still work but shuts out connection because it thinks that's what it's support to do after the bus load of data cross's your bandwidth. i would connect my computer to Ethernet and see if the problem still happens, if it stops, then its possible the router defective, if it doesn't then it's your OS

You have to give a bit more information for anyone to help you. What is it your getting kicked for? is there any error messages, does it go to black screen, or does the game just crash/freeze? When was the last time you updated, is your start up parameter set to a specific map? Are your Parameters correctly typed? Example "-Winxp" "-world=empty" Have you ran the games from its installer, Example Steam open Steam+open Library + select arma 2+select play, to all the arma 2 games recently?(vista/xp Run Administrator Rights) Is the beta/version the same as the servers you are trying to join?

where did u buy The Arma2Arma2oa package? What are you using to launch? Have you check your patches/versions to check if any files mistakenly may have been deleted and or corrupted? Is your game file loading under stress or is the CPU usage within normal limits? If you have bought it through Steam, right click all the arma 2 games/dlcs, properties, local tab then select verify game cache. Run each game atleast one time through steams libary, if you have vista or xp make sure steam is under Admin Rights when you open steam.

a ramdisk might benefit you, look on youtube for videos on how to run it

um the usual suspect in this problem is the NETFRAMEworks.dlls from windows update. if you haven't ran your windows update, your files could be out of date. or you need to unistall them completely, then open regedit, then delete play withsix and dayz commander which is labeled Dotjosh Studios. you can find those in" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dotjosh Studios\DayZ Commander same area for six just not that folder. then go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and look for play withsix and dayzcommander there as well, once those are deleted, restart your pc. then reinstall dayz commander, if u play dayz do not install play withsix.
