Same here, EU7 and the FPS lag started immediately.

It's just as bad, if not worse, as in 1.5.8.2

Using Q9300 CPU and Ati 6850 GPU

[TOPMO3 119]

Same here, game was great before, now dropping to 20-15fps regularly. Usually running game 40-50fps no problem.

Performance drop here.

I have noticed a drop too of about 50%. 1.5.8.3 was great, somehow 1.5.8.4 adding support for more than 1,000,000 characters has broken it again?

[Jokeri (DayZ) 0]

Same here, it's maybe _little_ better than 1.5.8.2 but still my fps is 50%+ lower than normally. I'm running high-end computer with 20-40fps, that isn't normal in a game like this.

[silenced (DayZ) 5]

On some servers I get stable 60 FPS, on others it's in the range of 5 - 20 FPS. So it cannot be my rig, must be a serverside issue.

[miqueloz 33]

Played on another server, it was fine this time...

[proxzor 3]

Yeah it really depends on which server you're in. I have low FPS on some servers as well.

You use FRAPS to view your FPS, and FPS is Frames Per Second, not Fraps per second :P

[thefish 1]

still getting this too, it's fine on near empty / freshly restarted servers but gets unplayable fairly quickly.

1.5.8.4 not problem thx developer :angel::sleepy: und Dayz team

I don't know if this is relevant to you guys, but the only times I got FPS drops on this version were while I was handling flares. They were big FPS drops and sometimes lasted up to 20-30 seconds.

[thefish 1]

I have yet to use a flare, the problem is continuous and fairly consistant since the 1.5.8 set of updates. regular ARMA2 and DayZ 1.5.7 worked fine.

[blockhead (DayZ) 4]

i sometimes saw the fps issue on 1.5.8.3, but have had no issues at all on 1.5.8.4.

I did notice on 8.3 that when it happened my ram usage would jump up a lot. It seemed less like my gfx was unable to cope and more like some kind of coding/memory dump glitch.

Hard to say though as it didnt happen to often for me.

On one occasion though it was particularly bad and I would get about 5 seconds game play and fps would completely bomb out. Restarting steam/pc didn't help, but as soon as I emptied %temp% the problem stopped.

Don't know if that was a red herring or not?

adding support, mine's much much worse than it was in .2, but i was playing just fine two hours ago, now i log on and it's unplayable, send .rpt files guys, don't just post here

[FreedomTea 9]

Same issues :C

[hyperfool 0]

ive noticed mine drop when the ground is cluttered with numerous bodies, for example after a shootout in the church and there are 50+ dead zombies. moving away from the area seems to help but then again it could just be a coincidence.

Also there are no items spawning in the large cities.

[Kadis 0]

Bumping the thread, i'm still getting low FPS while playing on any servers.

I've got 20-25 fps in forest/road/hill which is low but kind of playable.

But when i get in town my FPS drops to 15-19 but can be even worse on some servers (9-10).

My Video card : Nvidia GTX 560 Ti.

I don't know if it comes from me or the patch is still experiencing issues regarding FPS.

[Comrade Sniper 3]

On some servers I get stable 60 FPS' date=' on others it's in the range of 5 - 20 FPS.[/quote']

Yeah, the same thing happens to me.

[maxya 0]

I have the same. Drop from 40 to 10-15

[sgt.mazer 2]

Same fps drop here. Game initially loads in (the woods) at 40-60 fps. Sometimes it will stay there, other times it will drop to 10 fps after a few seconds. Even if it does manage to maintain high fps in the woods, it will ALWAYS drop to ~10 fps when I approach a city. These problems seems to have gotten worse over the past few days. Perhaps a hive or server issue?

I should add that no amount of tweaking settings has any results on fps when this bug is happening (which is all the time now).

Could it be a hard-coded draw distance? The setting doesn't change draw distance at all, so perhaps it is hard-coded to a level that is too high?
