Which launch options do actually work?

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I was on may way to more fps and wondered which launch options actually do work. There are many people and pages out there suggesting a lot, but at the end of the day I did not experienced any real improvements yet. (Using 0.58 stable right now.)

 

There are for instance:

-nosplash -> Does remove the Bohemia-logo at the start, but the time until I'm in the main menu of the game does not seem to be reduced (guess the brand is shown already while the game loads?)

-cpuCount=x -> no effect

-nopause -> no effect I could recognize while tabbing in/out

 

My hardware is not up-to-date, but still in a good shape: i7 3770K, GTX 680 (2GB), 2x4 GB RAM. But maybe still to powerful to make a remarkable difference with the launch options alone?

 

Please focus on the functionality of the launch options in this thread.

- Do you have any experiences like that?

- Do you know which launch options are available for the DayZ Standalone and actually do work?

 

Cheers!

I am going to repair this, post since i accidentally hit save changed.

 

Normally i dont help people with 1 posts but since your new to the forums and looking for help, i will. Also ask to move this to troubleshooting.

OK options are not exactly what you need to be focusing on. Its the settings in your video etc... but i have to really tell you you are undercutting that tower.

upgrade to 16gb memory, and put in a 960gtx 4gb card like i posted in troubleshooting forum.

 

I have 3 of those towers, but higher end cards, and 16gb its lightning fast on all s1150, s1155, and s1156 so i have all the gens running here at the house/office.

(extra parts laying around)

 

Video settings

overall = custom

rendering res 100%

vsync = disabled

 

userinterface

small, 16:9 or whatever you want. Based on your monitor res.

 

Quality

high

very high

very low

disabled

 

textures

auto

very high

normal

 

rendering

disabled

disabled

fxaa normal

low

disabled

disabled

 

bloom off

blur off

 

This is for the 960 4gb card and it runs the game sweet. This is my older spare i7 3770k tower.

 

I hope that helps

16gb kit 2x8 depending on your speed of the board max, might require bios upgrades to get the full power.

 

otherwise 1600 or greater should work fine.

brand means a ton, so i recommend corsair 1600 2x8gb for 2 slots

 

price usually is 100ish depending on locations, and if it went up or not.

 

Video card is a huge thing to dayz and many other games these days so 4gb card runs like a top end system card.

 

gtx 960 sc 4gb from asus is running nicely. price was around 329 in Canada but they have huge decrease in prices lately. (pushing for the new cards again)

 

 

Note

If you can not afford any of this, i recommend you reduce everything from the above post to lower, medium settings and work from that.

But you really need to give your i7 more breathing room.

-newui

-world=ChernarusPlus

-nosplash

-nopause

 

There may be more that still work but these are the only ones I can confirm.

 

You'd be better served lowering SceneComplexity, ShadowZDistance, ObjectViewDistance, and PreferredObjectViewDistance if you are after FPS though. You might also try the DayZ Config Tweak Tool if editing your ini is something you don't want to do.
