"-maxvram=2047 -cpucount=X -exthreads=X -maxmem=2047" Are all these commands written in the launch options together with a space between each, or what ? And on the -cpucount= command, is it best to choose only the physical cores, no hyperthreading ? And one more question! I have an i53210m, its a dual core with 2 virtual cores. With this cpu, would it be best to use "-cpucount=2 -exthreads=3" ?

haha, good one op, but tramp isnt harsh enough, how about phaggits ?,... oh, wait, didnt sergey do that already ^^

month ?, april or may you mean.

Yeah, better optimized engine for better framerate, rocket said their cutting out all the extra zombie animations which he said was a big culprit of the performance issues. From what iv read currently, in the video options, setting something on High or above puts the workload on the gpu, and anything below High is put on the cpu. I wonder how all that will be handled in the SA.. Iv managed to get average 25fps on an i3, 5450m... but having to put the 3D res on something like 83% just ruins the whole visual quality.. Hopefully that will all change when the postie delivers my new lappy with an i5, gt650m, im just hoping for atleast medium @ 720p with a decent framerate... only time will tell...

I wonder how much theyl manage to optimize the SA for lesser cards and mobile gpu's.

run, msconfig > Boot tab > Advanced options > Click "Number of processors" and select only the amount of physical cores you have, and hit ok, and apply, then hit the prompt to restart your comp. and you good to go.

yep, even einstein said that time slows down at christmas, i know santa needs that watch to slow time in order to pan the face of the globe in one night.... but ffs, did he ever cinsider how it would effect the rest of us?!, or at least us on this forum ??, i think not..,

OP, dont waste your time on game booster. Iv managed to get over 20fps, sometimes over 30 on a i3, 5450m. (waiting for an i5, gt650m to arive =]) Some things you can do to get a few more frames, before starting the game. On windows 7, go to control panel > System and security > System > Performance information and tools (bottom left) > Adjust visual effects (top left) and select "adjust for best performance". To switch it back, do the same thing and pick "let windows choose" Another thing you can do when you start the game, hit the windows key to get back to desktop,and search for "task manager", In task manager, click the tab, bottom left, "show processes for all users", and find arma process, right click it, go to "priority", and select "above normal", or "high". Then go back into the game. In game iv read that in video settings, setting something on High or above puts that load on the gpu, and setting it to below High puts the work load on the cpu. Just see what works best for your setup. For me, keeping V-sync on makes the framerate more stable without loosing any frames(maybe even gaining afew). And a big performance boost is to lower the 3D res down to around 80%, but with the frame boost, it really makes the visuals look crap. This thread has alot of good info in it. http://dayzmod.com/f...rly/page__st__0 And make sure your laptop is always plugged in when gaming

The new year is in, we will get news soon.

Someone said to turn off hyperthreading from the bios, can you just uncheck the extra cores in the afinity settings ? (or what ever it called) Edit, seems to turn off HT without accessing the bios, open Msconfig and in the "Boot" tab, select "advanced options" and select only 2 cores of the 4. Who here has tryed Ramdisk ?, is there any real noticeable increase in FPS ? Merry Christmas!

Has there been any info on the improvement to the zombies in the SA ?, mainly the animations and glitchy/jerky movement being sorted... im hoping they really put some good quality Z's in there.. and how about removable limbs ?, zombies are decaying and it would be realistic, maybe for a future update =]

nice!, im not expecting too much, but atleast some improvement will be good.

Has there been any word on how the SA will be performance wise compared to the mod ?, id kill a zombie with a spoon for another 10fps

Chernarus Plus sounds good, cant f(*&kn wait =]]]]]]]]]]] Come on steam!

They could bring a whole new dynamic to Dayz doing something like this. Bring in a new character and skin, "Law enforcement" or something, to pick when you start. Give the L.E. outposts/bases, army jeeps and best weapons from the start. If a L.E. goes awol and starts shooting up the place, insta death, or very least turn to bandit and strip him of all gear. There would have to be big punishment or else people would just spawn in as L.E. to gear up and then break off. Pretty soon bandits would start ambushing L.E. patrols and bases to hi-jack vehicles and steal there weapons. warz would start between the bandits and the L.E., a resistance would form and create a whole new dynamic. The L.E. on one side, the resistance on the other, the neutral survivors in the middle, and zombies all over the fucking shop,
