Critical Unplanned Update of 0.34 to Stable 7 February 2014

[General Zod 1118]

really bad down to minus 5 fps 

Not possible

[.+sl4yer+. 3]

Not possible

 

I can confirm that, all the game freezes due to low FPS, less than 5.

[droopypiles 16]

I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKS!!!

goto C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\DayZ"

there is a .cfg data - open it and run it with editor.

scroll down till u find this and change both parameters to 3:"

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=3;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3; "

OK just tried that and it seems to have worked so far - runnin a GTX 650

[General Zod 1118]

Ok

He did not say less than five FPS

He said Minus 5 FPS

Implying that he has in fact a negative frame rate, which is not possible.

it feels like an enormous memory leak in the way it behaves. frames start out as normal and slowly decrease and decrease until it inevitably freezes. Not sure why maybe it is the rain. hopefully rocket knows about this and is working to fix it.  <_<

[trappa 1]

i got a geforce gtx 760 i will try the tip above

[Dr. Goner 661]

I'll keep adding links to this, I've followed these guides and get 40-50 fps regularly. I have an i7 overclocked to 4.09 and two 760s in SLI. Though DayZ isn't set up to use SLI currently as far as I understand. The dayzpvp link has edits for the cfg and profile files but the site seems to be down at the moment.

EDIT: Also, by turning clouds to low I was able to get and extra 10 fps!!

Should work even better if you set both to 1 instead of three. There are also terrain and shadow rendering values that can be adjusted but the link isn't currently working.

oh wow you made a funny!! check this guy out everyone give him your beans, what humour, i'll take that to my grave, great post :) here have my beans

can confirm massive FPS drop, eventually causing the game to freeze after a couple of minutes.

 

Had no probs prior to the last patch, game ran smooth even in cities everything maxed out except some small gimmicks.

 

Issue may be connected to weather effects.

GTX 770 OC

is it me being stupid or do we have working streetlights in many places now  ??

Yes i noticed this also. Lights near certain buildings especially in the airfields have been lighting up.

I love you :D Thank you for this quick fix,

 

BTW: Got 2xGTX260 in SLI config.

+1 on that. 1 is much better than 3.

[the6thmartin 1]

the quick fix lasted me another 10 min but i do think it is a memory leak. when i start the game its around 500k to 800k in task manager but it climbs to like 1,500,000k when it crashes.

 

 

i should add my graphics card load is not high.

I'll give the fix a try. let's see. Anyone with FPS crashing achieved constant cure so far? (rain / no rain)

Yeah, I reset all my video settings, reapplied all the suggested fps tweaks, set everything to off, or low, and within around 5 min everything slows right down to the point I literally can't move. I was trying to move from an open field to a grove of trees.

[droopypiles 16]

ooh someone still bitter bout my sleep patterns comment :)

[Dr. Goner 661]

I'm going to have to wait until I get home to try out the new patch. I haven't had any performance issues yet so I'm hoping this is just a few random folks and not everyone.

I didn't play the patch yet, so don't know whether it will start lagging or not. 

[SunWorshiper 6]

YES. The game to seem to have a serious memory leak. The fps drops more and more and more over time. Until the game totally freezes.

This happens on both AMD and Nvidia Cards. Me myself have a GFX 680 and 6 core intel cpu with asus rampage IV extreme. So it is definently not hardware related.

It is the patch. Something is wrong with it.
 

[Matej (DayZ) 71]

fix didnt helpes, it is probably memory leak
