Having troubles running the game

[Evofrog 8]

Just purchased the game and have installed the Dayz mod, can get into games but have noticed that I seem to have a hard time running the game at ANY graphics setting. It's very blurry and laggy when maxed (Post-Processing I assume) and still very laggy when I move around at lower settings.

I've fiddled around with the graphics making sure the resolution and 3D resolution are set the same, turned off Post-Processing, view distance set to less than 2000. No matter what I set the graphics at it seems to run exactly the same at max and lowest settings.

Graphics card drivers are all up to date as well.

PC Specs.

CPU: AMD Phenom 1055T X6

GPU: ATI 5870

RAM: 6GB DDR3

OS: WIndows 7 64bit

Thanks for any help.

From what youve posted it seems as if you have all your in game settings to low... terrain detail, object detail..ect. Try changing your quality reference to medium instead of high or very high. Another thing you can try is go into your video card settings and turn everything to PERFORMANCE setting as this will enable your card to run full out, then just tweak your ingame arma settings. Hope this helped..

Like I said in my first post, I tried that game at many different graphics settings, not just low and highest. It gives the same laggy results no matter what it's on.

Also, changing my graphics cards settings outside the game had no effect on the games performance whatsoever.

No one has any ideas or information? Probably just going to buy a new PC if no one is able to help...

Update..

Been pushing through the horrible <10fps and playing a bit. Frames seem to increase as I lose more blood and the greyness sets in. Also, huge graphic glitches when around cities and large towns which make me have to look at the floor or the rooftops.

Seems my PC just doesn't want to play this game...

No the graphic glitches are a temporary bug for everyone, What core CPU do you have?

[Evofrog 8]

AMD Phenom 1055T X6 like I said.. It's a 2.8MHz 6 core (I'm going to assume the game doesn't run all 6 cores)

[JamesButlin 108]

Try running it on one core, having more than one actually makes the game struggle :(

[Evofrog 8]

Actually, the problem seemed to have been the game only running off the one core to start with. For any future people searching for a problem like this.I found "-cpucount=6 -exthreads=7", a way to force the game to launch with more than the default cores and I'm now running with everything maxed out with minimal lag.

Ahh really? Mine works better with the opposite but i'm on AMD X4 Phenom II black edition, odd.. But glad you got it sorted buddy :)
