Hmm... Have you tried disabling hyperthreading? (This is done in your BIOS settings, it should say press F4 to access settings or something as you start your PC up) Are you running with DayZ Commander and are you using any launch parametres? And have you modified your ArmA2OA config at all?

Have you tried playing on a different server?

It's in the ArmA 2 in-game settings. Setting video memory to 'default' basically makes sure that the game uses all of your video memory.

It's under advanced graphics settings. :)

I've got an i5 3570k @ 4.4Ghz and a GTX 780 and I get 40-60 FPS on the same settings. Make sure video memory is set to 'default' and try changing servers. Playing in a slow server will negatively affect your performance.

I think this is a step too far, sorry. The majority of survivors won't even survive long enough to get their clothes dirty to the point of attracting flies etc.

I'd go with the second one. The CPUs are a pretty close call but the 7790 is a slightly more powerful graphics card. Should net you 30+ FPS on medium settings and has the potential to go much higher if you upgrade the graphics card later. :)

Yeah, a lot of the earlier adopters of the mod have gotten tired with DayZ purely through repetition, and that's completely normal. My point was that the 'casual' servers caused the vast majority of new players to reach the same stage much more quickly because they experienced everything that the mod has to offer within a few hours, while the rest of us probably didn't repair our first helis or find our first set of night-vision goggles until we'd racked up hours of gameplay and figured out how everything worked. Personally, the modceptions (save for a select few, namely DayZ 2017, DayZ+ and it's predecessor which I've forgotten the name of, which were very subtle and just cranked up the difficulty slighty) did nothing for me. I played Lingor a couple of times when it very first came out because it was new and exciting to have DayZ on a new map, but that wore off quickly and I found myself back on vanilla DayZ Chernarus where I still am today. While I don't enjoy them myself I can appreciate why people play(ed) Origins and the likes because they added a few new features which of course helps you squeeze a few more hours out of something which has otherwise begun to grow repetitive, but those mods aren't what I was talking about, nor are they what you were talking about in the post that I replied to or what the OP was talking about. We were talking about the 'casual' servers and the effect that they have had on the state of DayZ. As for Krastinov airstrip; I think it's fine as stock, what I do think is a problem is that currently the furthest north-east spawn is Solnichniy and it isn't all that common. If there were more spawn points closer to Berezino it would be used similarly to Balota as a 'my first military weapon' hotspot. Sorry if this is full of mistakes, I'm incredibly tired and I went back and edited bits and pieces after I wrote it and probably messed it all up. xD Goodnight!

I agree. Not much more to say.

I wouldn't recommend overclocking anything inside a laptop. They're designed to deal stay at a safe temperature on their stock settings and sometimes even struggle with that. Overclocking is just asking for trouble. That will run the mod okay on normal to high settings, you'll be bottlenecked a bit by the CPU unfortunately which will more than likely stop you from bumping the more intensive settings up to high. It will run less CPU intensive games great though.

No problem. Have fun! :)

Should run fine on medium settings. :)

It would help if both of you post your system specs and the graphics settings that you're playing on.

Had you recently updated your drivers? If you did - try reverting to the previous version.

Indeed. I ran Elektro to Zel inside of 30 minutes yesterday. I think it was 7.5km-ish. Slowing players down somewhat would make the map feel much bigger and people might actually start using their vehicles instead of hording them out in the middle of nowhere.

I disagree and would actually argue the reverse - people are bored of DayZ because of the easy servers. Every newbie has now had a heli and night-vision goggles, range finders and a .50cal. There's no drive to keep playing when you've been spoon fed what people used to work their arses off for.

I think of 'infection' as general disease/infection and antibiotics as the medical treatment required, similar to how morphine in no way fixes broken legs but is used to represent the treatment in DayZ. It's by no means perfect but with the limitations of the mod (and of course the fact that we're still early in development) it's the best that we have right now. I expect that these things will be improved over time in the mod and also hope that they are much more authentic in the standalone (which I'm sure they will be).

As harsh as it sounds, this is the truth. 'I don't have time' is not a valid excuse. If you don't have time to find and repair a heli, then play the game without a heli. Would 'I don't have time to train my aim' be a valid excuse for aimbotting in CS?

I'd say 20-50, depending on where he is and what's going on.

It will run DayZ at a playable level but only on low-normal settings with relatively low FPS.

I think you may be one of them. You'll be begging for 'infection' back when you're lying in a ditch dying of cholera and various other diseases in the standalone, haha.

Ah, okay. I didn't realise that, but it makes sense. My mistake!

If you remember the days of the main hive all the servers were pretty similar performance wise.

But it's not that simple. Where would you have to hit, for example, to destroy the items carried in a shirt? These don't have any obvious storage yet are able to carry items in the game.

Chernarus plus (the new map is infinitely better)Lootable clothingThe new loot system where you have to actually look for loot (it doesn't just spawn in piles any more)An FoV slider!Less cheatersNew medical systemImproved HUD and inventory systemWeapon customisationPrettier graphicsThat's about all I've got off the top of my head, but it's definitely going to better than the mod in pretty much every way, haha. Zoombies is a buggy mess... It was nice to see DayZ with A3 lighting but I played it once for an hour and I doubt I'll ever go back to it.
