Carnage752 15 Posted November 6, 2012 Alright, you may remember this topic from awhile back, but I decided to add a new topic because the old thread is dead. Basically, my friend's laptop lags badly whenever playing DAYZ, but it can run ARMA 2 just fine with low graphics. We think it's a problem with his connection, but he says his internet speed is very fast, so we don't know the problem. We tried port forwarding, but it did not work. We have his specs, and need some help.Symptoms of lag include: Slow movement, delayed turning and movement, general lag(Apologies if I misused the term "lag")Model: Toshiba Satelite C855dProccessor: AMD E-450 APU with Radio HD Graphics 1.65 GHzRam: 4.00 GBSystem Type: 64 bitIf I am missing any neccesarry specs or information, please let me know.We hope to have this issue resolved quickly.

Sam Entropy 7 Posted November 6, 2012 My computer is the same sometimes, try turning up some of the graphics elements to high, as having them all on low burdens the CPU quite a bit.low/normal will be handled by the CPUhigh/very high is handles by the graphics cardIf that makes sense.I've noticed that DayZ does cause more fps issues than just normal ARMA II.
