0.60 settings optimization or tool?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have been having a real hell of a time trying to get the game to run since the new update.  It ran fine before the update now the frames are too low to play/ its constantly freezing/sputtering.  If I change directions left or right while running the screen gets blurry and my character starts to lag/go in slow motion.  I can not even go into cities at all everything gets so screwy.  I have been completely unable to play at all since the update.  I have a new $800 computer with a GeForce GT 635 graphics card (I know its shite but the game did run fine before with only a small amount of lag in cities).  I tried deleting my dayz files and restarting the game.  I tried deleting and re-installing the game.  I tried monkying with the settings and turning off clouds, rain, putting everything to "very Low" and turning off everything I could based on a youtube video.  The steam frame counter shows my frames in the single digits at times and 150 f/s at other times even on servers with low ping (below 50).  The frames are never stable and go up and down from very high to super low almost instantly.  I downloaded and installed "jetboost" gamebooster and I updated all my software and drivers but still the same issue.  So now I have no idea what to do next.  I remember reading on these forums someone made software that will optimize the game settings for your computer.  Has anyone tried this software with 0.60?  Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do next?  Are there any good free programs on download.com that can optimize my computer so the game runs better?  Any suggestions as to what settings may be causing the frame swings and lag?  I do not want to buy a new graphics card because I am saving to buy the FN SCAR MK20 whenever it finally hits the civilian market (it will cost b/t $6-$8 grand).  Check it out ...http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab197/pinstripingbyjake/20150121_115956_zpskqmmihyy.jpg~original

Go to you documents/DayZ folder, open YourName.vars.DayZProfile, then scroll down to the bottom. Mess around with the following settings to achieve solid results:

sceneComplexity, shadowZDistance, viewDistance, preferredObjectViewDistance

I play with a GTX 560 without too much trouble on medium settings, just had to find the right balance on those four things.

Ok thanks for your help.  I will try these things in a week - I need to take a break from it bc I spent almost 5 hours the other night trying to get the game to work.  My frames are in single digits, like 3-8 frames, then it goes up to 30 for a few seconds, then down to single digits again.  Also my character can not turn right or left while running without the screen and character going blurred to hell.  I don't think has to do with the frames though.  Try running and then turn to the right and run a circle and tell me if your screen is blurring out during the entire circle, this can't be just me having all these issues with this update ... thanks again
