Make sure you do actually own ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead on Steam, otherwise you will not be able to play either way.

Out of curiosity - what happens when you stay in houses or vehicles?

What do you mean with "only one page"? We have an entire section dedicated to updates, posts and topics by Developers, you can even jump through the Developer-Posts by clicking the button in the topics devs have posted in. And just like everyone else on this Forum you can see every single one of their posts by clicking "View Content" (just like Max has described).

See, that's where you're going off the tracks. The engine is capable of doing that, there's something else that causes the issues. Of course not when I'm in a town, but noone gets that - but what this tells us is that the engine is capable of being able to handle this kind of graphics easily. When you enter a town your FPS drops and so does your GPU-Usage. This means it's not a problem with the engine nor will DirectX 12 fix this. It will come down to optimise the objects / amounts of objects as well as how the game handles it. It appears you're wrong again. How does the server calculation have to do with FPS on the client? The only thing you're talking about here is serverside-performance, which will not be affected by neither a new renderer / engine nor DirectX12. It is just what it is. Server-Performance.

We don't support Epoch here, as we're not affiliated with them. We offer our mod on Steam, what Epoch does is none of our business. Try their Forum.

Simple solution: don't use any of them, as (especially DayZCommander) is obsolete. The only thing needed for ARMA 2: DayZ Mod is Steam, it is available through that and you get updates through it automatically, can launch the Mod directly from Steam, etc.

There is a lot of misconceptions and lies going on in this thread. It is simply not true whatsoever that the engine only utilises one core. It greatly benefits from having a faster clockspeed, but this doesn't mean that AMD is completely out the Window. I run an 8 Core AMD CPU and AMD GPU's and yet I somehow magically get 40-70 FPS, even though I am supersampling the game on a 4K resolution on my 1080p screen? That just seems off to what's going on in this thread. I will admit that the game is not optimised whatsoever, but I don't expect it to be and deal with these kind of issues gladly, as I know it will be better down the line. I have mentioned this in another thread as well - ARMA 3 ran even worse than DayZ when the Alpha for it was launched. And now look at it, it runs like a charm. BI will get the performance sorted out when the groundwork is done. It has been proven in the past with A3. But one thing you will have to keep in mind is that even major companies will not adapt to DirectX12 for quite some time to come (as it requires a lot of work) - but yet you expect an Indie-Developer like BI to be on it right now?

"Decryption of Headers failed" is an error related to PMC / BAF. Did you launch everything atleast once before joining? If the problems persist, try uninstalling PMC and/or BAF and try again. If you want to play DayZ Mod nothing else but Steam is required, just download ARMA 2: DayZ Mod from Steam. There may be additional problems when trying to join a server right now, as there has been an update 2 days ago (not our fault - it's the server-admins that need to update)

Don't use DayZCommander. Problem solved. It's outdated, obsolete and should not be used.

Do your research first then, because I personally find this rather insulting, spending my free time on this without even being paid nor affiliated with the DayZ SA (apart from being a Moderator for the Forum - for free - in my free time.)

You may have to wait for the server to update. Check the servername for the version its running.. DayZCommander shouldn't be used anymore at this point anyway. It hasn't been updated since July last year and causes all sorts of issues. 20:06 my time they were updated (2 hours, 9 Minutes ago)

I have had major issues before running both in compatiblity mode for Win XP as well as using the -winxp launchparameter. I don't recommend using it at this time.

Can you list exactly what you have been doing, as I am not able to watch that Video.

Put together a quick fix in the missionfile: https://github.com/DayZMod/DayZ/commit/f930f73917f994a843cc0ce50aa2f8a005bab187 Even includes fully packed mission.pbo

I know of noone of the Moderation Team that do not respond to PM's. I know I have always responded, even to the most nonsensical (provenly). This is most likely even the best way to get our attention and the only way to solve problems. And it does solve problems. Complaining about us being Nazi's does not.

Use Imgur. If you do, you can even embed them directly here on the Forum.

DZC is fucked, don't use it. After you have verified, follow these steps: Go to ARMA 2 Folder Copy the Contents of "AddOns" (a lot) Go to ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead Folder Past the copied files into the "Common" Folder If it ask you to override, do it.Then try again.

We only support DayZ Mod here. For help regarding Epoch you will have to head over to their Forum. They're not compatible.

That is normal. This is important. Make sure you're only trying to join servers that are running the exact same mod as you are. You can double-check in your mainmenu on the bottom right, the version will be displayed. If you're running DayZ Mod 1.8.3, make sure to only join servers that have both "DayZ" and "1.8.3" in their name.

Don't use DayZCommander, it's obsolete, as it doesn't work anymore. Just download & launch through Steam (note, that there has been an update for it)

That problem occures when you don't have the Mod installed you need to join the server. Did you download the Mod and if so, how? Did you try downloading it through Steam?

Merged

Hello and welcome to the Forum, please make yourself familiar with the layout of the Forum before posting. You have posted in the Standalone-section, which is on no way related to this to begin with. But not only that, but we're also not related to anything other than DayZ Mod or DayZ Standalone as is. Which is why we can't offer you support. Maybe try on a Forum that is related to your issue at hand? In the meantime: Moved.

Even though you're contradicting yourself with that sentence I still think you have a wrong approach to frames and such, as even desync or not being able to use hotkeys is in no way connected to the frames, nor does it even feel like it. The thing you're describing here is an issue that is not even connected in any way with famerate-issues.
