BrightVisionVids 0 Posted September 29, 2013 So I got DayZ the other day and I love it. The only problem is I get fairly regular lag spikes. It goes from 50-60 FPS down to around 20 for a moment causing the game to lag for a brief moment and it happens fairly regularly. I think it might be worse when more players are in the server but I'm not sure. I have Virgin fibre optic broadband with 30meg dl, 2meg upload and an average ping of 15-20ms. I'm running the game on the following specs... Intel I5 quad core at 3.4ghz8gb of DDR3 RAM (1600MHz)GPU - AMD Radeon HD 7850 VTX3D 1GB GDDR5Game running of a 500gb seagate hybrid drive I've played with every possible setting going from disabling them (where possible) to changing them through the various options and I still get this issue. Can anyone suggest any causes and/or fixes for this? It'd be greatly appreciated :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skypill 399 Posted September 29, 2013 Has your Hdd got any space on it? That may be the problem seeing as it is only 500gb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enforcer1975 1111 Posted October 2, 2013 Is it happening when you turn ormove around? Could be your HDD in this case because it either is fragmented too much or just doesn't send enough data. Some players don't experience these problems at all with HDDs, a new install makes everything run smooth. A SSD with a high data transfer rate is one possible solution. When i stiwched from HDD to SDD it was different as day and night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobs 49 Posted October 7, 2013 With 8GB of ram you can load like 4GB worth of pbo files straight from your ram with ramdisk. That will speed some stuff up until you get around to getting an SSD. If you are even a moderate gamer I would recommend an SSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrightVisionVids 0 Posted October 10, 2013 I have an SSD arriving tomorrow as it seems you were right about it being the hard drive :) Thanks for the tips! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
