New do DayZ - Hardware/fps problems

[Kh4zy 1]

Hi all.

I started at DayZ a few days ago. The strange thing that i cant really play the game smooth, or even with a decent fps with all at low and running 1920x1080

My specs are Intel i7 2760QM (sandy bridge) 2.2 boost to 3.1 GHZ

6GB DDR3 RAM

Nvidia Geforce GT 630M 2GB DDR5

Running on Windows 7 64 Bit

What could cause this problem? I run battlefield at low and even with a 50-85, so what could be wrong? Is ARMA 2 just too demanding?

Im also running all the latest updates for all the hardware

Hope someone can help me

Thanks in advance :)

Okay, It seems like your Pc isn't the problem. Do you play only at one server? Sometimes the Server is the problem.I was on Serval Servers with a FPS rate of 7, on Other Servers my Fps are between 60 and 80 Frames per second. But one Tip: Close some Programms when you playing, like Internet Explorer or Firefox or chrome. Hope I Could help.

I always close programs & browsers down on some games. No need if im only playing CS 1.6 or something, but i have closed everything down, so the only thing that is running is steam and ESET NOD32 Anti virus

hey there :P

I'm like having the same problems since I started playing DayZ. My hardware is a bit weaker than yours, exact specs:

Windows 7 64-bit

Intel i5 2410m @ 2.30GHz (2.90 with turboboost)

6GB Ram

Nvidia Geforce GT 520M

I think from what the people are saying my laptop should be able to play the game quite good, Arma II itself runs just fine without any lags..

Still on DayZ I get smooth frames, 30-35 (yep, thats smooth for me :D) and in the next moment it keeps lagging (down to 7 or something)

It's just always changing from smooth to lag :P

I'd appreciate any help, since I just can't figure out the problems; Arma II runs pretty good as I said..

Thanks in advance, guys ;p

When you go into cities does it lag?

Your CPU is quite slow, turbo will make quite a big difference.

Laptops aren't really made for gaming but alot can play DayZ...

Hey guys, Your computers are alot better than mine lmao. Mine isn't even reaching 2.0 ghz. my graphic card is HD ATI. and 4 gig ram. But I play dayZ smoothly with the methods I've done to prevent lag and fps lag. If you have the time. Take a look at my profile and find my posts that helps with fps, and lag. I hope it helps you out. =). Im just glad I can play the game. lol.

Done the same as you but I get 5-10 fps in cities (in the very lowest possible settings), beat that XD

thanks for the answers so far :)

I tried out all the things but still it keeps lagging.. The mouse feels a lot better though, thanks a lot for that :D

Somehow I keep thinking that it might also have to do with my internet connection, since the fps constantly go up to 30-35, drop down to 7-11 and go up again, even if I don't do anything oO in cities it's almost the same, I don't really see a major decrease of the fps there.

I have a ping of around 50-60 in the game though, so I don't really know what the problem could be :P

Due to canyourunit.com my laptop should meet the recommended requirements for Arma II and OA, which should include Dayz.

I don't really know what I can do anymore, all I know is that my laptop should be able to handle the game, but unfortunately Dayz doesn't like me :( :D

nice, have fun playing then! :D

I think I've tried out everything by now and still no improvements.. :/

[Kh4zy 1]

Damn, dont know what went wrong. Maybe its the server, but i only got 30 fps now :S

The Internet connection couldn't be the reason for your laggs. My riend has currently a Ping from 200 to 300 and he still playing the game with 40 Fps.

Alright, that's some good news :P

Are there any more possible solutions for the problem?

You can defrag your system.
