Realy Bad Performances Help me please.

[zadyk 0]

Hello,

 

 

I've a realy big problem with the framerate.

 

I've tried to follow some guides but when I start the game i find my self with something like 20/30 Frames Per Second when everything is good. 

 

My widows Is freshly installed, my drivers are up to date.

 

This is my Rig : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=330843Cartesgraphiques.png

 

I also have an error message when I quit the game : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=408976DayzError.png 

 

For the no French speakers It means the memory cannot be written.

 

 

I'm sorry for my english, but if someone can give me some tricks to improve my framerate. the only things I found until now makes my Dayz realy ugly with freezes and I win only 3FPS in the country.

Lower your settings in game (maybe you can make a screenshot of your graphoc setting in the game) and also make sure you have no other processes running when you play Dayz.

And I think all of us have that error message at the moment, I do anyway.

Game Launch Parameters

First of all, open Steam, then click Library, find DayZ and right click on it. Select Properties, under the General tab click Set launch options. There you will add the Game launch parameters.

Now you can add multiple commands which will help improving game performance.

-cpuCount=#
# How many cores your CPU has, for example: for a dual core cpu the number 2 (-cpuCount=2), for a quadcore 4 (4 is the maximum value). If you got a CPU which has more than 4 cores, see -exThreads parameter info.
-exThreads=#
# How many extra cores/threads your CPU has, see the list below:
Amd cpus:
-Dual Core: -cpuCount=2, -exThreads=1
-Quad Core: -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=3
-Six Cores: -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=5
-Eight Cores: -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=7
Intel cpus:
-Dual Core: -cpuCount=2, -exThreads=1
-Dual Core with 4 threads: -cpuCount=2, -exThreads=3
-Quad Core: -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=3
-Quad Core with 8 threads: -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=7
-maxMem=#
# The amount of Ram the game can use, if you got 2GB of Ram set it to 2048 - 1024(-maxMem=1024), 4GB 3072, 8GB 7168 and so on. By the way, the game shouldn't use more than 2048 mb of ram, so it's up to you to decide.
-maxVram=#
# How much ram your GPU has, 512MB, 1024MB, 2048MB, etc (-maxVram=1024 for example).
-nosplash and -noPause
# Will simply remove the splashscreen at game start and let the game work in background.

 

---In game settings---

Now we'll set up the in game settings. At the Main Menu, click on Configure, Video.
Now set the Rendering resolution to your native resolution, the resolution next to 100%.Overall quality to Custom, VSync ENABLED if you don't have a 120Hz monitor.

 

Now click on the Quality tab, here you'll see 4 options:
Objects - decrease it if you haven't got a powerful CPU, Very low should be ok for 2-4 cores Amd Cpus and 2 cores Intel Cpus (2 Threads), low and normal for 2-4 cores Intel Cpus (4 Threads) and 6 cores Amd Cpus, high for 8 cores Amd Cpus and 4 cores Intel Cpus (4-8 Threads) and very high for 4+ cores Intel Cpus (8+ Threads).
Terrain - it affects GPU, increase it if you got a powerful video card
Clouds - leave it on Very low or disable it.
Shadows - affects both CPU and GPU, turn it up if you got a powerful GPU.After you set up the quality settings, click on the Textures tab, here there are 3 settings:
Video Memory - set it to Auto
Texture Detail - If you got a good GPU set it to Very high or high (it doesn't cause FPS drops), otherwise turn it down.
Texture Filtering - This is the anisotropic filter, it doesn't have a high impact on performance, so if you got a good GPU, set it to high or very high.

Now, the last one, click on the Rendering tab
Antialiasing - i suggest keeping it on because it smoothes the game, but if you get low FPS disable it. Disabling it you'll get a good fps boost. For the ones who have a good gpu: You should disable the antialiasing and increase the resolution, this will improve the system usage and grant you some more fps.
Alpha to Coverage - if you didn't disable the antialiasing this option will be available, setting it to All trees + grass will not cause significant FPS drops if you set Antialiasing on low.
Edge Smoothing - Leave it Disabled or set it to whatever you like, it doesn't affect the performance too much.
HDR Quality - Set it on Very low 
Ambient Occlusion - Disable it for a good FPS boost in open areas and cities (about 15-20 FPS).
Post Process Quality - I suggest to disable it, it has a medium impact on performance. If you disable it you won't see the blur effects anymore and so you won't be able to understand if your character is healthy or not. You should check how many fps you're getting with it disabled and then enabled to see which value suits best for your system.
Bloom -Set it as you like
Rotation Blur - Disable it or turn it up a little bit, it doesn't affect performance too much.

 

---Cfg settings: video and mouse tweaks---

In this section, you'll learn how to properly edit the configuration files, in order to gain some more fps.

Max Frames Ahead. This fix will smooth the game, so open DayZ.cfg with the notepad (you can find it in C:\Users\Username\Documents\DayZ\), find the lines GPU_MaxFramesAhead=# andGPU_DetectedFramesAhead=# and set them to the same value (between 1 and 4) (GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1/2/3/4 and GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1/2/3/4).
These settings won't increase your FPS but will give you the feeling as the game is running at higher FPS.

---Other improvements:---
Open the file named YourName (.DAYZPROFILE) located inC:\Users\Username\Documents\DayZ\ with the notepad. Now find the following lines:
sceneComplexity=# - set it to a value between 200000 and 50000 (other values are 1000000, 750000, 250000 but they require a high end cpu), it will draw less elements and reduce CPU load.
viewDistance=# - set it to a value between 1800 and 1200, it reduces the cpu and gpu load.
preferredObjectViewDistance=# - it decreases CPU load, set it to 1000 (or between 800 and 1600);
terrainGrid=# - Set it to one of these values: 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125. Higher value = Better FPS, Lower value = lower fps but a better graphic quality. I suggest setting it to 25 or 12.5 for the best performance/quality ratio. 
shadowZDistance=# - set it to a value between 100 and 200 (100 is the best for me), reduces gpu and cpu load.

For example, my parameters are:

(Intel System)
sceneComplexity=100000;
shadowZDistance=0;
viewDistance=800;
preferredObjectViewDistance=600;
terrainGrid=3.125;

Mouse X and Y speeds problem fix. Probably you've seen that mouse x and y speeds are different, you can fix this issue by setting the lines mouseSensitivityX=# andmouseSensitivityY=# (located in the YourName .DAYZPROFILE file), to the same value. Also you can disable mouse smoothing.

mouseSmoothing=# - This is optional, set it to 0 to disable mouse smoothing.

Note: After you edit these files, don't change any of the in game settings, otherwise, those settings will overwrite the .cfg ones. You can avoid this by setting read only property to those files when you edit them.

hi,

 

first of all id recommend to delete all launch parameters, defs stated that those are relics of arma2 and arent supported. several players had problems with that. same goes with changes to the config.

 

as you are w10 try to update your nvidia drivers manually (download), there had been issues, im not sure if they are resolved yet.

 

Quality : 

 

Objects : Realy Low -> low or medium

Detail : Low -> high

Clouds : Disabled -> keep

Shadow : High -> low or off

 

Textures :

 

Automatic : ( Last option because it's in black ) ->  set ingame language to english, then set to 2048 or auto

Detail textures : Realy High -> high

Textures Filter : Realy High -> high

 

 

 

 

Render ;

 

Anti Aliasing : off -> low

Alpha to coverage : off -> keep

Ambiant occlusion off, post process off -> fxaa low

HDR : Low 

 

1980*1080

 

use this as a base setting, its a solid one which fits ur system on the low side. Then get a proggi to monitor your hardware usage (eg afterburner), especially cpu & gpu; tweak a bit if you want, also check where the bottleneck is located.

 

with the above settings 20-30 fps should only appear as a downpeak/ big cities. In free enviroment 40-80 should be the average (ssd expected). If not, im guessing theres something wrong with ur system itself.

Salut.

Ignore the error message, it is known and we know it.

 

Set your graphics on high then reduce the effects that you do not appreciate.

Wish I had read this like 10 minutes ago, was sure that error message was my crappy computer, so reinstalling lol.

Do you have a link to that statement?

[edwin3 74]

Do you have a link to that statement?

 nope, read it a month ago, somewhere in the depths of this forum - might have been somewhere in the developers discussion. the mentioned problems occured at friends of mine, mostly using i7s or 6+core amds. When we started playing exp .58 their performance was much worse than that of the others. after removing launchparameters regarding cpucount & threats (& changing nothing else) performance bumped up.

 

The system in the op is stronger than mine (i5 4460/ gtx 750ti) & should gain much better fps without tweaking launch pars & config. whether or not you believe my statement without any source the problem must be located somewhere else - imho

Thanks very much now i'm runing 60 FPS with an acceptable quality. ~45-50 Fps in big city's. Even the micro freez gone. 

 

You made my day guys

There ya go, thats about the most time I'm going to waste, close enough to direct link.  Launch parameters were deemed deprecated over more than 1 post you should be able to find something yourself

Okay thanks.

Earlier today I removed all my launch parameters and restored my original .cfg files. Game seemed to run the same. However, I had a feeling when I put in the CPU, GPU, RAM and VRAM back in launch parameters I was gaining a slight increase in fps, but only about 4 or so. Maybe it was just suggestion, placebo effect. If it does no good, it also seems to do no harm in my setup.
