Lag spikes?

[Hiddenderek 2]

Anyone else suffer from lag spikes on DayZ every once in a while? It usually runs around 30-40 fps for me on very high settings, but i set it to low graphics and i still got lag spikes. I switched to several different servers and its pretty consistent regardless of the ping. Is that just a byfactor of it being in pre-alpha or is there some incompatibility with my computer? Because besides the lag spikes every once in a while it runs perfectly fine.

Specs:

nvidia geforce 450 gts

6 gigabytes of RAM

3.10 Ghz CPU

64 bit operating system

EDIT: I don't get any lag spikes on the actual Arma II.

I think it has something to do with playing on a beta server. Someone I spoke with suggested that if you play on a beta server you'll start getting the spike (after the game updates to the beta a assume) and from that point on you'll get lag spikes even on non-beta servers.

I have the same issue, its horribly annoying and if anyone know a way to fix this or revert your game I'd love to hear their suggestions.

That said, it could have something to do with the game settings but I am leaning towards the beta update being the real issue here. If I figure out a workaround I'll post it back here.
