Internet Speed Requirements For DayZ ?

[Kyrotix 0]

I live in USA California and my internet is about 4.89mb/s and 2mb/s upload and sometimes 1mb/s So I need to know what are the requirements so when I buy the game Dayz StandAlone also no one uses the internet at my house just me my self.

Yeah.. You'll do fine.. i play with 60-100kb/s

I remember when I got my hands on my first 14.4k modem, never really had any internet connection issues after that.

I play with 512KB/s down and like 64KB/s up. Works fine. As long as the ping is good.

I've played DayZ on some really awful connections (500k down/200k up) and some really great connections (200m down/150m up) and the experience remains fairly consistent. As long as you're not on dial-up, you should be fine. That said, don't expect the game to be 100% smooth either and keep your graphics settings realistic.

Thanks for your guys help. by the way do you buy mean upload and download like the actual or Speedtest.net kind of upload and download?

A few month earlier when dayz was using not optimized netcode you will need at least 2Mb but now you will be fine with -+1Mb/s.

I am not sure of my speeds but I have no broadband at home. I play with a 3G vodem stick or I tether with my Galaxy S4. I'm also only in a 3G extended zone so not full 3G and no 4g. (I wish!)

Pings around 100 to 200 most of the time and I play on mostly Australian servers from New Zealand. Overall it's still playable. I get a random lag spike or desync but I can still get the drop on most zombies and players. I can't wait for optimisation or broadband though but for now it's okay.

Theoretical maximum in my case.
