misterleroy 15 Posted July 14, 2014 Turn off clouds. Ensure aspect ratio (in interface settings) matches your monitor, then ensure the 3d rendering matches your aspect ratio (requires game restart). Remeber it's a horrible unoptimised alpha, and that people with $2000 gaming rigs still suffer poor performance in DayZ.

misterleroy 15 Posted July 14, 2014 Cheers Guys !!! i also heard you can use a xbox 360 controller to play dayz is that correct ??? You probably can, but it will be an awful experience. There are too many controls to map to a pad, plus it's just not set up (yet, maybe never will be) for use on a Pad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted July 14, 2014 I run: i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo)GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 ... and sometimes I still lag a little in cities. I'll note that when I fire up task manager I'm often surprised by the amount of CPU that's being utilized by DayZ (usually 40%-50% of all 4 cores). When the game gets better optimized and the new engine is more complete I have to imagine more of that processing will get pushed from the CPU into the GPU.
