1.0.6.1 Horrible frames per second

[sgt.mazer 2]

Date/Time: 5/26/12, 5/27/12, 5/28/12

What happened: Frames per second drops from 30-60 on connect to 5-12 after a short time.

Where you were: Seems more pronounced near big cities, but happens in woods as well. Sometimes jumps back up in woods after visiting city, sometimes not.

What you were doing: Trying to play but failing miserably.

*Current installed version: 1.0.6.1

*Server(s) you were on: Many U.S. servers.

*Your system specs: Ati 4890 1gb/ C2D E8400@3ghz /4gb ram/Win 7 64bit

*Timeline of events before/after error: ̶1̶.̶5̶.̶8̶.̶2̶ ̶r̶a̶n̶ ̶w̶e̶l̶l̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶S̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶h̶o̶r̶r̶i̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶f̶p̶s̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶f̶o̶r̶m̶a̶n̶c̶e̶.̶

EDIT: After thinking on the issue further, I did experience the lag in 1.5.8.2. It only happened at the end of my play session so I shrugged it off and forgot about it. 1.5.8.2 was my first install of the mod, and I only played it once before the next patch was released.

Also... Has anyone experienced this on a 32bit install of windows?

same here:

What happened: HUGE decrease in framerate. Normal 40-60, now 10-15

Where you were: At the spawn on the beach, although that was not where I logged out. But that's a common thing.

What you were doing: spawning, being confused

Installed version: 1.6.0.1

Servers you were on: Switched different servers from northwest european countries, Didn't fix the problem

System specs: AMD Phenom II X6 1090t, MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk, 2x4GB DDR3 RAM, MSI 870A-G54, lots of HD space, win7 ultimate 64

Timeline of events before/after error: Never occured before. All previous versions (playing since 1.5.6) worked well. I tried some single player afterwards, also no problems.

It's only when playing DayZ multiplayer.

Please respond, hope you'll come with a solution or a fix that isn't too much of a problem for you. etc..

same here, considerable drop in FPS after 1.6.0/1.6.0.1 update

specs: i7-920 @ 2.67 Ghz, ATI Radeon HD6950, 6GB RAM, Win7 x64, Catalyst 12.3

I will test again tonight with Catalyst 12.4 (latest)

[Nate (DayZ) 7]

Yeah, the exact same is happening to me. I'm getting a noticeable amount of low fps ever since this new patch. I was in Berezino the other day at 10-15 fps when I should have been getting 45-50. Something is definitely up.

Same problem here

What happened: Spawning

Where you were: Spawnpoint

What you were doing: Spawning......

Installed version: 1.6.0.1

Servers you were on: Switched through a number of servers including most EU servers and UK

System specs: AMD Phenom II X6 1090t, AMD Radeon HD 6950, 2x4GB DDR3 RAM, win7 ultimate 64,

Timeline of events before/after error: Has happened before in version: 1.5.8.2 and worked fine until the current update. Single player is unaffected and runs perfectly.

Had a number of users with similar or better rigs report the same problem today. Hope you guys can solve the issues soon!

Same problem here I'm getting a noticeable amount of low fps ever since this new patch.

I've heard many people complaining about this in the server chat, but some people also reporting no change.

FPS for me seems slightly lower, I seem to get about 30-40fps, but before it was usually anywhere from 45-60.

[CommanderBoiled 1]

fps is sometimes normal for me and sometimes i have heavy fps drops like many others. many people complain in the chat others say its normal for them. if i restart the game and connect a server then sometimes fps are normal. after i die or change to another server, fps drop to about 10 - so unplayable. thus restarting the game or changing servers sometimes helps to put fps to a normal level but often not. i dont see regularities behind this at the moment.

i think iam gonna wait a few days before i try to play dayz again. i spent almost the whole last 2 days to play or, more often, to describe the problems i experienced during that time. all in all i was able to play maybe 2 or 3 hours in the last 2 days either because of "waiting for server response"-stuck, "receiving data"-stuck, heavy fps drops making up a slideshow, or simply just not finding a server with an empty slot left. hopefully the devs find a way to fix at least some of these problems because at the moment its almost impossible to play. even though the servers are still totally overflowing... :D

OMG i have the same problems how CommanderBoiled i had a good fps before 1.0.6.1 but now its 9-12 Fps its not playable

also tried lowest graphics but the same!

specs: quad 2.4ghz, 2 gb ram,gtx260

[Jokeri (DayZ) 0]

Same problem here, fps were good until this newest patch. The game is totally unplayable now, waiting for hotfix

[proxzor 3]

same here :(

I understand rocket said he was looking into these fps issues but I figure I mind as well add my experience if it helps any. My framerate issues aren't serious enough usually for me to stop playing but noticeable from version to version anyway.

My specs are AMD Phenom X2 BE 3.2ghz, 4gb Ram, Radeon5850. Normally I'd get 60fps or so in the last version this time it is much less consistent sometimes averaging 30-45 in Elektro/Cherno and at one point for seemingly no reason dropping to 8fps (Just outside Cherno on SLC 1), I ended up switching servers (to NY 1) and things seemed to improve back to 30+ with occasional dips into 10-15. It didn't seem to make a big difference if I was in a large city or forest or what have you. Anyway I've still been playing but it's quite a difference (and adjusting my graphics settings don't seem to help).

My friend who is running a system that is around the min spec for Arma 2 and can play multiplayer Arma2 just fine is unplayable in Day Z, I'm sure Day Z is more demanding in general but I'm curious as to whether the fps issues that rocket was mentioning, if fixed, might get him to a playable level of FPS. I think he has an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8ghz, Nvidia Geforce7800 and 2gb of RAM.

Anyway looking forward to the next update! Thanks for all the hard work

We need kind of information when will this hotfix will be relesed cus i cant play! It's tragicaly for me. :(

I do know it is server side. I was hopping servers to see if was the problem and it was. Dal 8 was lagging bad with me getting 20 FPS and then it rebooted right back up to 60.

specs:

=Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition @ 3.21 Ghz,

=ASUS Nvidia GTX 460 768mb w/ Driver 301.42 WHQL,

=4 GB ddr2 800,

=Win7 x64

when:

Sometimes the first login of the day is fine. After death or a re-log i notice lag. Anywhere and everywhere, getting progressively worse.

Also notice graphical glitches that look like towers or triangles etc happening occasionally after the lag starts.

[covalent3 1]

I get bad fps anywhere.

This morning was fine. Then trying to connect to a server took ages.

Dunno if that's server side, or just the patch? I'm unsure.

[Penicks 1]

constantly a choppy framerate here as well since the patch

[lastkossack 2]

is this just happening only to x64 users?

[mirolife 0]

heh i'm x64

[CommanderBoiled 1]

is this just happening only to x64 users?

good question. i only have x64 systems here i cant test further.

[Undeadstab 0]

Me too, and I'm on a 32-bit.

Since 1.6 I've only been laggy when around other players.

[mirolife 0]
