John69 64 Posted December 3, 2012 Arma 2 (Dayz) is a strange beast, the game engine itself is so sluggish that even with highend hardware its difficult to get a decent framerate with ALL settings on max.But this is Dayz, NOT some other FPS game, think again. Anything from 30fps is good in dayz.Back to square one, try google or if you have 1-2 hours of testing time, you can try for youre self testing different settings. Do NOT put all settings on max, that will rape youre computer, Highend or not.Also try turning Off the cfx and see if you have the same performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dayzrr 1 Posted December 3, 2012 Ya to run Arma on Max you'll need a 5ghz+ sandy bridge i7 and crossfire 7970's it's a very bad optimized game I haven't seen more than 30fps on max settings with my 5.3ghz 2700k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted December 3, 2012 I sincerely hope we don't have these kind of problems in the standalone.I just accidentally changed something graphics related in my .ini and I can't tell what it was, so I'm going to have to start from scratch (what a dumbass) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted December 3, 2012 I don't mean I re-installed the game. :lol: Just restored an older backup, but I have to fiddle with all my settings again.BTW, can anyone link me to a decent written guide for FPS tweaking?The ArmA 2 config doesn't quite work the way I remember. Everything feels a wee bit jumpy for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
