FPS problem

[paxodeus 15]

Hey guys. Ok no bullshit.

MY PC:

GTX 460 1gb ddr5

AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE

6GB ram

My problem is - 20 - 25 fps on whatever settings. Low/medium/high....What the hell :F

Check v-sync?

Update drivers?

Check graphic card settings?

[krtshv 362]

Make sure Vsync isn't on and try again.

Also, don't forget that laggy servers can actually make the client get FPS lags.

It has nothing to do with hes hardware or hes software. The engine is crap and it only uses two cores of your cpu.

The problem is...sometimes i had 60 fps+, today 15 :F impossible to play

He can define the engine to properly detect 4 cores with "-cpuCount=4"

where does one do this?

[ToBbErT 17]

Yes same for me. Sometimes i got luck and it runs smooth but mostly it just hurts my eyes with 25 frames. I gave up trying to find a fix and blame the terrible engine.

Just add it to your launch options in steam.

Or to your ArmA 2 .exe if you're not running through steam.

(Just paste it in the end of "start in" under "properties" )

Right click your ArmA 2 OA, Properties, Set Launch Options.

Nevermind, you said without steam.

Those are basically parameters you can add in addition to the "-CpuCount=4" one. You add them in the shortcut of whatever you use to launch DayZ.

right how do i do that?

explain it to me as if i'm 10.

1. do this.

2. do this.

3. do this.

for example.

[aksuduud 64]

Blindingsun, what do you use to start dayz? Do you use a ArmA 2 OA shortcut with -mod=dayz or do you use six launcher?

Well, I'll have to know what you're using to launch DayZ.

If you're using Six Launcher, open it up, on the bottom left press "options" and just add it to "additional startup parameters"
