For some reason people think if they lie about there fps it will come true or something. I see it all the time on this forum, "yeah 60fps in Cherno no problem...." - Bullshit

Got a AMD FX-8120 8 core @4Ghz and getting poor performance-CPU utilization. Getting average of 30fps, goes up to 50+ in woods and as low as 18-20fps in major citys. Even small towns its at like 25-30fps. I know AMD processors isn't exactly top of the line but i'm getting around 80% usage on one core and like 10-20% on the rest.

I thought the engine is derived from Take On Helicopters. Where are you getting re-written from the ground up from?

This is what makes the "its alpha!" argument pointless in this thread. I'm not bitching about how the game performs right now but I would love to see some transparency from B.I in regards to what they are/will be doing to better optimize the game. However I doubt they would tell us much because not keeping a promise is a lot worse than keeping your mouth shut from the start.

1280x1024 yeah that will be why your getting a better fps, i guess you have a low draw distance too. I ain't bashing at all man play the settings that work for you i guess :). Would have saved confusion if you would have stated that in the 1st place though. Also it is important to me to see what others with similar systems to me get because if it is way more and legit i'm doing something wrong and need to fix it

What I thought would make for improvements in performance would be this "network bubble" Rocket was banging on about. Was this included in the current build of the game? Because I don't see any difference performance-wise between SA and DayZ mod. I mean I understand that there is a lot of work to be done with optimization but I honestly thought that the network bubble would be more major of an improvement.

Seriously Baker I have a very similar rig to you and very different experiences. What do you consider smooth? what fps are you getting?

Well I got a FX 8120 and a gtx 670. I get 25-30 in citys and 40-60 around the wilderness. Have heard very much the same reports from every amd user I have spoke too and a fair amount more from the intel guys. Perhaps your mistaken or something idk. What I do know is you aint getting 40-50 in cherno no way no how :)

40-50 in city's? yeah right, screens or im calling bullshit......

Yeah think so Out of curiosity what are yours and what fps are you getting in cherno and what fps do you get in the woods?

So i noticed that the draw distance of trees in standalone is far shorter than in arma 2 for me, but I thought it was a feature to better optimize the game. However when I was playing with my friend I was asking him what he could see looking from Klen hill to Black mountain and he said he was seeing trees all the way to the castle while I was looking at bare terrain surrounding it. Is there a setting I have missed? Because I think I have tried everything and always get the same draw distance any suggestions/fixes would be very welcome.

Fucking awesome GIF The fact that the nice guys are so rare just makes the times when you come across them more special and makes for a challenge to be one. If perma-quitting a alpha because of one group of bad guys is what your all about you will be better off going back to bf I think.

Arma 2/3 look and feel smoother? Don't get me wrong I have spent 100's of hours playing arma 2 and love it but smooth just is not a word I would ever associate with it. The control system for a new comer in any arma game is a challenge to get into. I can understand where your coming from but rember what you get with B.I. It's a realativly small team working on a huge landscape with complexity oozing out of it. If it was a huge dev team like say EA or ubisoft there would be compromises made in authenticity/realisim for the sake of popularising the game and also micro transactions and dlc all over the place. Basically you are getting the game that the dev's and the community want but sacrifice the polish of a AAA title which is fine by me.

This has been the case for me too. I think when anti combat logging features are introduced KOS will be less needed.

Thing is I Imagine its hard for B.I to regulate every server owner so they should just make sure each server host is regulating there users in a more appropriate manner. Ban a company for allowing its users to cheat and other company's will be forced to do things right or risk loosing a good money maker.

True but my point is that the I am new and lost feeling is something special that you only get once. Also maps seem to spawn in Industrial buildings pretty often just gotta hope its the part of the map your in.

I recommend any small town you find on the way. Regular houses can spawn all sorts of good gear like morphine, lock boxes, food... loads of good shit. If I was to spawn at kamenka I would find what I could there and then, fill up and water at there nearest source I can find then head east from the north of Balota then slightly north of Cherno until I got to the big cliff at the coast between Cherno and Elektro from there you can follow a power line which goes directly to elecktro. Its all north from there buddy; Dolonina, Polana , Gorka, Dubvovka, Berzino loads of loot not many players and a hell of a lot to do compared to sticking south. My biggest tip would be to follow power lines from the tree line so you can move with maximum cover without getting lost.

Try Polana its always empty for me and isn't as far. It's also on the way to Berezino which is getting to be more populated as time goes on but is huge and has the only hospital that far north. After that head north over Klen and your at krasno which has a school and NEAF next to it.

Or Find a map in-game,follow the roads, read the signs on the roads. No need to use out of game stuff to ruin the immersion for a quick fix. I pretty much always know where I am and how to get to the next town now without a map and wish I could experience that lost feeling I had when I first started DayZ. Being lost might be frustrating but is part of the game and can lead to you experiencing something you were not expecting, be that good or bad.

Yeah I have seen a few non-development servers that were locked and/or had 3/3 players. Its bad for the game when someone can gear up in there own private server on the main hive and then go into populated servers with that ill-gotten gear. Even worse it gives really dirty players a free server to ghost in. I really doubt that B.I or Rocket wanted this so it must be server host's allowing there customers to take the piss. I believe the host's are more to blame for allowing this and should not be allowed to host DayZ servers in the future. After all its an alpha so we should test all aspects of the game and remove what doesn't work, including non in-game matters.

Its time to head north as soon as you spawn. Not many new people seem to get that though.

When I read the OP's thread title this is what came to my mind as well. Someone should make a DayZ version with a can opener instead of the sword.

How about trying to make a map for arma 2/3 if you are desperate to get going right now this second, would be the best place to learn the process for how to layout the map. Other than that SalamanderAnder is spot on, it ain't coming until the game is further down the development process.

100% agree Im getting annoyed at the fact that loot is too easy to find due to most people being at the coastal towns and city's. If you are having trouble go to Berezino it is huge and has rarely been looted.Been alive for 40hrs now and I spend most of my time NE of the map, yeah there isn't a big line of millatary bases like the west but you can find gear and have better odds for survival.
