Wierd FPS drop / Screen freeze

[Skogis 1]

Hey

I have played Dayz for e few days now.

And it runs smoothly on "high" settings and "low". But just for a few seconds. Then I can get a FPS drop to 0 FPS, or if you would like to call it a freeze.

I can play for a little while and it freeze, or it can freeze a few times in 10 sec. Thats random. But one thing is for sure, it freezes when i meed zombies and try to shoot them. I get a little fps drop if I try to zoom on with the mouse to aim.

I have read some FPS posts, but I cannot see to find something similar to my problem with the fps drops.

Should I use a FPS tool so I can see fps? And in that case, what program?

Link to pic with my system. (If the thumb doesnt work http://bildr.no/view/1229955 )

I have tried to run it on low but there is no difference between what i run it with now and what i used to run it on.

Hope you have any ideas.

Thank!

Your PC just fullfills the minimum requirements for ArmA 2 OA (2,4GHz base clock with two cores) a GT 555 is not even close to a GTX 260, don't believe CanYouRunIt. DayZ is much more complex, because of the ammount of objects, zombies and players. Zooming in loads in high resolution textures, your GPU and CPU are not fast enough to load them in as fast as they need to.

The freezing is a littlebit weird though. Try to update your graphics card drivers.

Also try cleaning the dust from your PC with an airduster- I had a weird fps drop issue which was solved by doing this.

Hey! I have 8 cores at 2.4 (?!) And i dont know about the GTX 260 vs my card, But as I say. I can run it smoothly but get a FPS drop out of nowhere while I am running in the woods.

But when it comes zombies and other players I may have a fps drop. So its kind of hard shooting them :P

Well, I play Saints Row: The Third smoothly.And thats a lot more graphics on I think ;-)

Well well. I dont know :( I really wanna play this game smoothly :/

Yeah, I have been having this lately too, it seems to be server specific.

For debugging, if you look at the ocean (haven't tested with ponds), it seems to be glitching its animation in sync with the sutters...

I suggest moving server until you find one, that is smooth. Unless you have vehicles, I suppose.

Do u use the Six Launcher? I had a similar problem and it was caused because the launcher was open while i played. If you use the Six Launcher, try closing it when you joined a server(or just dont use the six launcher).

Hello!

That was very similar. But my drops can be much harder and longer. My friend have exactly the same computer as me, and runds this smooth. He also aint dropping while his here. If we sit side by side, IRL and standing side by side in game. I would "drop".

So I wonder if i Reinstall everything on my laptop. Would it help ?

Hello.

I have also closed the six luncher some times. No difference

I have tried to use Nvidia Inspector. But I still get the frameloss from 20 - 40 fps down to 0. and the screen freezes.... Any ideas ?

It actually looks like I get a fps drop when zombies spawn or i encounter other players. So its kind of a warning :P heahea. but a bit lame -.- Edited July 18, 2012 by Skogis
