Yes.  Thats the whole network bubble thing they've been working on for awhile.

The main reason they're doing standalone is because they need to re-purpose the arma engine in order to make it run effectively with lots of zombies and loot.  Arma 2 doesn't like having thousands of items and units spawned in at once.

I'll go with "Yes! But, exactly how much is yet to be determined."  :thumbsup:

They've estimated it will be on-par with Arma 2 singleplayer due to fewer CPU calculations.

The engine started from the Take on Helicopters source code so while that is a bad benchmark to use considering how much they have likely changed that for the DayZ engine. It is likely closer to that than Arma 2 in my opinion.

Any progress made from what we have now will be a great relief. 

 

Then maybe I can throw some change down for a nice graphics card come the holiday season.

I'd be extremely surprised if there isn't a good improvement.  As I keep saying in these kinds of topics though, remember that true optimisation takes place further on in development.

 

I still think/hope people will be pleasantly surprised though, we will see...

Thanks for the helpful ansers. I got 10 FPS in Cherno and Elektro in ArmA 2 and 5-6 FPS in DayZ.

OK I wouldn't wait that big increase. If you can't run Arma 2 in the editor with decent fps don't wait to run DayZ with decent fps.

Indeed. If you look at PlanetSide 2 for example the severe game breaking optimisation issues were taken care of in beta and now (a good 6 months+ after final release) they're looking to finish the optimisation process and really get the game running faster.

 

I think DayZ will be better optimised than ArmA 2, but I wouldn't expect any miracles when the alpha build is released.
