has anyone else noticed this?

[mjf6866 22]

the longer you are in a general spot, the less mouse lag and better fps you get?  i know it sounds weird and its not the normal loading time, but i spawned into my nice little cozy spot i have in Cherno and after about 10-15 min of crouching in my spot, i instantly had zero mouse lag and very smooth game play.  later, i had to disconnect and reconnect to the same server and it did the same thing.  the hard drive is calmed down by that point so its not thrashing the drive.

 

ive tried turning mouse smoothing off or on, does not matter.

 

wonder whats going on?  could it be the server i'm on?

 

here are my specs:

 

Intel i7 3770 @ 3.40GHz

16GB DDR3

1GB HD7750 DDR5 GPU

250 GB HDD

 

1920x1080

mostly high settings

redering on low

antialaising disabled

If you are standing in the same spot there probably isn't any textures having to load and slow down the system. That's my guess

What about the "player bubble" if you don't move your bubble stays localized and doesn't have to render any "new" (while you are moving in whichever direction) textures, etc.

Basically this. And the textures behind you stay in Ram maybe? I'd recommend everybody to put dayZ/arma2 either on a SSD or in RamDisk. It's a huge difference!

hmm ok, thanks.  i saw a youtube video of someone putting the mod into a RAMdisk setup, but i read on here that the standalone doesnt work the same way?  is that true?  have you done it, and if so what method did you use?

except i cannot bring myself to spend a few hundred bucks on a SSD just so DayZ runs on par with other games. I hope/expect/demand more optimization from the SA than from the mod.

128GB SSD with only System files and DayZ installed on, everything else such as the user profile were changed in the registry to a hard drive.

5FPS Increase. Don't believe all of this "Fantastic quality on SSD, super duper fast".

I've noticed this as well, it affects startup times as well whilst it loads your model and the background for the loading screen (can disable that with some config tweaking).

 

So yeah, hidden pay2win at the moment since better PC = better performance :)

[weparo 613]

Well, I have an SSD.... Listen, the ram disk trick will always work with the RV engine, that's the engine the ArmA series and DayZ uses. But since the DayZ installation is about 10 GB, you'd need a 16 GB ram, so if you have that go for it! Others only place the most used files of the installation on a RAMdisk and link them, which works too

Welcome to the master race :P It's called evolution, look it up.

There is nothing you can optimize there. That's the way the engine is, and unless you code a new one.... Listen, my 128 GB SSD cost me $70 last year, and it's beyond awesome. I understand if you're not willing to spend the money, but it really isn't expensive if you look at what you get for it.

Yeah, while beeing static? That's actually amazing. Now go take a helo or turn around a couple times, and the SSD makes the difference between 40 and 70 fps. This where the SSD's strenth is at. And not installing the whole system on the SSD is actually very stupid... Because it's the small files that profit the most from an SSD.... You have the HDD bottlenecking you.

 

 

What's also very important : RAM speeed. In A3, the difference between 1600 and 1866 are about 5 fps... I'll report back when my 2400 arrives.

Weparo, would this work for me?  i do have 16GB of RAM...
