Boost your FPS ingame and reduce lag in SA

[DRiNVAD3R 0]

Hey mates,
I played DayZ SA for a bit and there is one thing that is going on my nervs: lags and bad fps.
So I have here a quick guide for you how to boost your FPS and reduce lag ingame. (you should run DayZ afterwords with 15/20 FPS more).
Go to your local documents and look for the folder "DayZ Other Profiles", open it. Then go to your profile fodler and edit the file SteamID.DayZProfile.
Edit/change following lines:
sceneComplexity=250000; 
shadowZDistance=100; 
viewDistance=1800; 
preferredObjectViewDistance=1600; 
terrainGrid=32.5;
 
 
Please tell me if it worked for you, if it did, please spread the word so others can apply it as well.
 
Disclaimer: I'm not sure if it is ok to change lines locally, so if you try it, you do it at own your risk.
 
 
Btw. happy new year!

I've tried all these settings on release and have been using them since and the biggest one I noticed (without lowering it to 8bit graphics levels) was 'shadowZDistance=100' from 250. I jumped up about 8-10 FPS on average in small towns and wilderness and about 4-6 FPS in cities.
