its not the connection, because when i first played dayz in june i had mega lag like i wasnt even getting 2 frames per second! but then i tryed again in jully and i was averaging 20fps and when i would go into empty night servers half way around the world i would hardly lag at all, but my average game play is sluggish, i no my laptop can run this game on low graphics i just need to no some tips and tricks, plus im only 13 so i really dont pay much attention to clocking my laptop for overheating, so i never no when to give it a rest, i just need help to optimize it and make it a lil better, ill be happy if i can average 30 fps with normal running speed as everyone else, i never heard of lag causing someone to have a slower movement speed then everyone els, like dramtically. Edit: norton is gone, it was the default antivirus that came with the laptop, i have avg now, and i use game booster 3 as well
