DayZ lagging obsessivly, I need help!

[bryantc2000 0]

I can play DayZ still, but it is EXTREAMLY laggy. Can anyone give me any tips on how to reduce lag? I use the Six launcher but I don't know if my DayZ is up to date. How can I install the latest DayZ?

*Also, how can I talk with people? Which chat channel is it? thanks!

What are your computer specs? (ram, CPU, graphics card)

- To talk to people it is direct channel. I think it has a radius of 40m.

Is it fps lag? If so that could be the server or your graphic settings being to high. If it's internet lag then try resetting your router. I would recommend downloading game booster 3.5 as that shuts down all unnecessary programs in the background whilst you're playing the game, which should boost performance. The six launcher thing, well i'm no expert with this but i'm sure you just run six updater and then update the game from there and make sure as soon as you load into the game that you press , or . / < or > to change chat channel and make sure you're on... direct communication....you'll see it cycle through all 3 chat channels in the bottom left, hope any of this helps.

If Sharpy's comment doesn't help, try lowering your graphics, access DayZ manually and lower your settings untill it doesn't lag.
