Which version of the game did you purchase? STEAM or RETAIL or MIXED:

steam

What is the Error/Problem you're having? Please provide screenshots if possible:

I get constant couple seconds freezes anywhere and then freezes every minute or so that last over a minute themselves. After the long freezes I usually lose connection to the server and I am kicked. Lag is heavier closer to building and zombies/while looting. Lag is still very present while roaming the empty forest. I have tried both servers outside my area(EU) and servers here in the US. These freezes happen in both night and day time.

Your PC specs:

Dual gtx 460s

EVGA X58 mobo

intel i7 w/ hyper threading(8 cores total)

I dont feel this is an issue with my computer and after restarting my router, neither my internet. Getting this mod to even start and able to join a server took me all day trouble shooting but I cant seem to solve this issue, thanks for any help.

i am by far no computer guru by any means but i did find this on the interwebs.

try the trouble shooting section where it says game lags every two or three seconds.

To open up the msconfig, use the run program to open it up. If this works help spread the news.

Thank you for the solution I hope it works but after restarting my computer I am now faced with the "Error creating Direct3D 9 graphical engine" when trying to boot the game.

I launched steam as an admin and have verified integrity of game files, maybe Ill try another beta build. Its a true shame I spent 30 dollars before looking into the issues this mod has, I guess Im a sucker for post-apocalyptic games and this one seemed good, bummer.

Beta fixed that issue but I am still faced with massive freezing and lag.

I get this error in the middle of the screen telling me I havnt recieved a message in "x" amount of seconds before I d/c aswell if that helps.
