Performance Issues.

[Blippy 26]

Since I've started playing DayZ a few weeks ago, I had noticed how poorly the game runs on my computer. I used to get as low as 5FPS, but thanks to recent optimizations, I rarely go below 10FPS. The game runs like crap, and I know I need to upgrade, I just don't know why it runs bad.

Specs:

Windows 7 32-bit (Non-Aero theme)

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ dual-core processor @2.3ghz

2GB DDR2800 RAM

Nvidia GeForce GT 440 2GB DDR3 RAM - Core clock 810mhz (OCed to 900mhz) Mem clock 667mhz (OCed to 800mhz)

In-game settings: All low, except HDR which is very high. Mem usage is default. 3D resolution: 800x600; Interface resolution: 1024x768

I have a feeling it's CPU/RAM bottleneck, since in a blank Chernaurus map in the editor, I can get upwards of 50FPS on current settings, but in a typical empty DayZ server, I rarely go above 30FPS. Any idea what's causing the slowdown? Is it the loot, the zeds, or something else?

its probabbly all of the above. Gamebooster might help you, and turn HDR down, it doesnt make a huge differance. Sometimes higher settings work better, so do some testing.
