it's not the game then

it's that typewriter you are trying to play it on

Have you tried putting DayZ on a ramdisk? Do a search, there's a howto video kicking around somewhere.

Try this, It doesn't work for everyone.. But it does for some, I have a high end PC with all my settings to the max, even though I don't need the extra FPS, I wanted to try this out, and it worked...

Follow the link below to see the tutorial on how to do it.

no wonder it is laggy an hd4200 series is not going to cut it not by a long shot and your ram will barely get you there

is there anything then that could at least make it smoother? btw thanks for the replies

Incorrect, the PC before this one had the 2gb's of RAM, and Nvida Geforce 9800 and it run on medium settings.

His RAM is fine.
