PeNguiN (DayZ) 10 Posted July 18, 2013 Hi, I have a phenom 965 at stock clock, 6870 and 8 gb ram as well as samsung 830 SSD yet I get 30 fps in wilderness on the lowest possible graphics. I've also done all the optimization guides like maxframesahead to 1 and idk why I lag so bad, it's quite unplayable. I see so many other ppl with worse systems getting better fps and ppl can record and get better Fps then me. Am I doing something wrong? I've reinstalled and I just want to play with atleast 40-50 FPS... 30 Fps is really unplayable considering how choppy it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OfficerRaymond 2064 Posted July 18, 2013 How is 30 fps unplayable? My buddy plays dayz off his laptop and bottoms @ 9 fps in towns and cities and 12 in the woods, yet he still plays and can kill easily. How is your internet connection? Do you live in a high traffic area, or in BFE? Try to run Arma 2 single-player and see how it does when not connected to a server where you have to worry about terribad desync and a heavy load.

barrett_killz 229 Posted July 18, 2013 I'm getting the lowest FPS possible in the woods, even the cities give me more of them. I've added FXAA and post-processing and boosted my FPS from 15-20 to 30-40 now on my laptop (1024x768 resolution obviously). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 18, 2013 Hmmm, have you thought about overheating? In this weather it's a real risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIC 1050 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) It could possibly be SceneComplexity option in your character profile in your documents.. You can typically find that here if you have Windows: My Documents > ARMA 2 Other Profiles > (Your Profile) You'll have to scroll down to the bottom or you can simply use Ctrl+F to find it. What you want to do is match your scene complexity with your resolution. *Example, if your resolution is 647x900, then set that to 64700. Make sure you match up your resolution sizes with ARMA 2 and other expansions that you might have. If that doesn't work, try playing on windowed and adjust the size for yourself. While this happens; your 3D Resolution will change. You always want to keep that at 100%. Lower 3D Resolution often means increased performance but lacks in quality majorly.
