Input lag

[calza27 0]

Hi all. I've been playing Dayz for about a month now, and just within the last week I've noticed a high amount of input lag develop (upwards of 1 second).

My computers specs are as follows.

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

CPU: Intel core i7 8 core @ 2.2GHz

RAM: 4GB

Graphics: ATi Radeon HD 6770M 1GB

Mouse: Razer Lachesis 5600 (currently set to 1800DPi)

I've only noticed the problems in the last couple of days, and prior to this I've had no problems apart from the occasional "too high ping" message.

Another thing to note is that when I play I'm usually on skype at the same time, but I've never played without skype being on, and closing it doesn't fix the problem.

Please help me out, I want to get back to killing zombies without lagging like crazy.

Have you tried to play on other servers?

[calza27 0]

Yes, I've tried multiple servers, and on servers that I played on before the problem came about but I still get the lag.

Is DayZ the only game where this problem appears? Or do you have problems with your internet connection often?

[calza27 0]

Nah, DayZ is the only one. My computer is connected via a wired connection.

How this "lag" looks like? When I play DayZ with friends I always have big lags. For example when my friend shot his weapon and I hear it only after about 2 seconds. I think this lag is normal for DayZ.

Nah, this is, press z to go prone and after a 1 second delay I actually go prone. But this is for all actions, including mouse movements, not just stances.

Maybe try to change some graphic options. I think this has to do with the new update. Maybe you will have to wait for a hotfix.

I've set everything to low and shadows off. Still getting the same problem : (

Then play Mass Effect and wait for a new update :D I think I'll do the same.

What versions are you currently using with OA and DayZ?

Having pre-rendered frames too high can cause input lag, check your settings.

I've set view distance to 1200 :/
