Video options

[Filmmaster 35]

Hey guys, I finally got to join some servers! But I noticed some peoples videos, and their day z is so smooth. I have a really nice computer, and I'm lagging quite a bit. What video options should I change so it runs nice like theirs, for instance, my video is all blurry while theirs is crystal clear. How do I change that? I want to play soon, so help quickly! I just want a smooth game

There are so many threads on the forum that ask the same thing, Use the search function to look at them and see other peoples results, etc.

But first off, Open up your Video settings in Arma 2 and click Advanced and now you can change a bunch of settings and test for yourself.

One MAJOR setting you should change is Post Processing, Put that to Disabled (It sometimes turns itself on again when you start the game so keep checking) With Post Processing off you will no longer get that blurry vission effect when moving your mouse.

Also make sure your Resoloution and 3D resoloution are the Same, Turn some settings down from High to Medium or maybe even low depending on your System.

Just keep playing with the settings, you'll eventually get settings that you like.

With the resolution and the 3d resolution, what specs for those do you recommend?

Whatever you think looks good. I personally play on 1280x1024 because that's the Max my Graphics card can handle and I think it looks good for me. Just go through them and find one you find nice to play with

thanks for the tip on the post processing. I'm going to have to check that tonight.

Will that fix some lag though?

Will that fix some lag though?

Higher the Resoloution, The more textures and materials have to be loaded and drawn etc etc So it's more pressure on the Graphics card and CPU, So if your system isnt a "Decent" one a higher res. would cause Lag.

Play around with the resoloutions until you find one that looks good and also doesent cause lag, but overall the Post Processing and texture quality and such will be the main cause of Lag.
