DayZ Problems

[Siltar 0]

Okay, so I'm very new and I have only watched YouTube videos. Firstly, I haven't spawned with a pistol or any weapon, this is making it very difficult as a new player but mainly lag.

This is my computer's specs

i7 Quad Core Processor clocked at 3.4 GHz

8GB of RAM

AMD 6770 Graphics Card

1920x1080 Monitor

For some reason I get really bad lag even when playing on very low graphic settings. VSync is turned off, every thing is at the minimum, yet the game isn't smooth, there's loads of shuddering and lag between moving my mouse and it turning. I dunno. It just feels like there's something wrong with that.

Thanks,

Siltar

Hey Silltar,

• You no longer start with a weapon of any sort in DayZ, it was changed a few patches ago to combat banditry.
  
• As for your lag, a number of different problems could be the cause. Your hardware is more than powerful enough to run the game; have you tried adjusting your resolution and 3D resolution settings ingame? If they're wrong, you're gonna have a bad time.

Shadow is a huge performance hit, make sure thats down.

As for the lack of gear on start it's been like it for a while and still talked about in other threads related to it

But seriously, make sure your card isn't throttling. Make sure your "clocked" Cpu isn't throttling either.

Any other games cause these problems?

Try medium settings, V-sync enabled, etc. Play around until you get good fps. Doesn't make any sense, but try everything.
