FPS issues Gt 540m

[Sicko Fett 0]

Hey guys,

I have a big problem with dayZ.

I´m running the game on my laptop (i5@2700Mhz, 4Gb DDR3 Ram, Geforce GT 540m, windows 7 home@64Bit) an I have some serious FPS issues (mostly 20 FPS and below) even when i´m playing on low settings.

I thought my System would run this mod much better than that.

Switching servers also dosen´t work.

I would be grateful if someone could help me.

Have you turned Post-processing off, disabled shadows, and turned off Anti Aliasing and AF?

[Sicko Fett 0]

Yes I have. But it´s still the same.

Notebooks are not made for games. Deal with it.

My best advice is to google "ARMA 2 performance tips". I got some tips for modifying your .cfg file and stuff...your mileage may vary.

What resolution are you running at? You probably need to run a low resolution as you don't have the video memory for high resolutions.

Also try using the beta patch.

@ ultimateburger, thanks for the tipp.

@ Reo, I know that notebooks are not made for games and I also don´t expact to run a game on high settings, but I´m sure that my system ist able to run the most games on medium to low settings.

So it´s totaly fine that you have your opinion about notebooks and gaming in general, but please keep it for you and don´t post it in an "help thread".

@ Castle. I runit on 1280 x 800 and on 1024 x 768.

But it makes no big difference. (only 2 FPS)

Try setting your 3d resolution down to the lowest settings.

It helped for me. If that doesn't help, try setting your screen resolution down as well.

Unfortunately, the GT540 isn't very powerful at all.

In comparison, it is around as powerful as a Desktop Geforce 8600

That being said

You can try turn down view distance, maybe it will help.

540m is just too weak... sorry.

Lowering distance wont help as it is preset by DayZ (therefore changing it in options wont have any effect)

Edit: but you can at least try to switch the "memory size" in details menu to "default", it may help, if you didnt already do so.

It's not that it's too weak. I mean - it is, but this game is so poorly optimized that even people with high-end systems get crap FPS in the mod as it is right now.

It's in Alpha, we have to deal with it.

Thanks for your help guys. I have optimised my settings just like you said, an now I´m abel to run the game between low and medium at around 30 FPS which is totaly fine for me.

Again. Thank you!

Share please as you achieved it. I have the same videocard and the same problem! Thanks in advance! :)

I'm leaning towards more Server problems than client problems. Was playing on Canada 1 today at 4 - 11 FPS then I joined NY13 and had 30+ FPS. Same settings, same start-up perimeters.

Unfortunately, matter not only in server logs. My settings: I added the following keys to a label: "-nosplash - cpuCount=4 - maxmem=2047 - world=empty - exthreads=7", changed ATOS on 0. All settings of graphics for a minimum. Came on the server offered by you - 9-11 fps. There can be you made something else?

[piemanpm 13]

Now Canada 1 is actually being reset every 8 hours, I'm getting a constant +30 FPS in there.
