How can i get the best experience from DayZ?

[iCascade 0]

Hey guys, I was recommended by my friend to buy ArmA II: Combined Ops in order to play DayZ, so I bought the game and started it up, and lagged like a bit**

So what could I do in order to get a good playing experience out of the game?

My Specs;

Win 7 64 bit;

Intel Core i3 processor 2120

Intel HD Graphics

1TB HDD

4B of RAM

(If you need any other info, please tell me)

Also, my manu is Acer xD

I'm surprised you can even run the game TBH, you're running on integrated graphics. Just set everything to low/off and maybe run in windowed mode with a lower resolution.

Yupp, sad but true.

Arma 2 and Dayz needs a fairly new gamingcomputer from medium and up to performe ok.

The game engine on Arma 2 is kinda sluggish and unoptimised, meaning you will need good hardware to run it with desent frames.

The Intel® HD Graphics 2000 on youre comp is NOT intended for Arma 2/Dayz... sorry.

EDIT:

If you can,buy a dedicated graphic card for youre computer,and If you have one of those prebuilt computers, you need to check IF you can add and extra card, and if youre current powersupply will handle the new card.

Can you list the full name of youre computer?

Just gonna throw this out there;

(If you play Minecraft you'll understand where I'm going with this)

For example; In Minecraft there is something for people that have terrible computers called Optifine which improves FPS and stuff

I know that they're both completely different games, but does Arma have anything like this (that you know of)/ if it's allowed?

No and I strongly recommend that you don't go looking for anything similar. A lot of people advertise 'DayZ FPS boosters' that are actually malware that sends your CD key to them, which they then sell on to people who have been banned for cheating for a couple of quid and they'll more than likely end up getting you banned too.

Haha, you don't need to worry about me going looking, and sorry I never knew the CD key could be sold after it had already been used on a computer (I thought it was HWID binded) so that it will only work for your pc/one time use;

But thanks a lot for warning me about that :)

Thats an "all in one" computer, not possible to upgrade im afraid..sorry

[Mos1ey 6301]

Nope, Steam users can install on multiple machines, HWID binding would be a royal pain the arse if you bought a new PC!

Guess I'll just have to try turning everything to low, and playing it like that till I can afford a better PC;

(Christmas time ._.)

Haha, I guess so, I'v eplayed so many games where it was HWID binded to one PC, and if you got a new PC you only had to prove you bought it and they'd let you use it on your new pc :P
