Usually 5-12 fps, unplayable, suddenly 60-70 fps

Hi,

unfortunately I wasn't able to play dayz with more that 12fps yet, which is pretty annoying.

I tried nearly every guide, tweak and everything that can be found via google.

Problem occur with six and dayzcommander (with steam and without).

my system:

Athlon X4 620 @ 3200Mhz

MSI 770-C45

GTX 260

Samsung 830 SSD 256GB

4GB DDR3 RAM

current launch parameters (but tried a lot of combinations):

-mod=@DayZ;ca -nosplash -cpucount=4 -maxmem=2047 -exThreads=7 -nopause -world=Chernarus -winxp

ARMA II OA runs fine with 50-60fps.

Some minutes ago I suddenly had about 60fps in dayz and enjoyed playing it for the first time and about 30s before getting kicked for a too high ping.

I unfortunately could not repeat that experience.

Any ideas?

Sounds like server side lag.

But I tried and uncountable number of servers! Mostly German actually but this can't be the problem, can it?

And if so, is there anything I can do besides trying other server for another hour?

Curiously my friends don't experience these problems when joining the same server...

If you're running through a firewall or VPN that might be the source of your issues. I dunno man, if single player works fine I'd say there's some issue between client and server. What sort of Bandwith are you working with?

I had similar problem with dayzcommander did not use Six though. I changed Dayzcommander settings and checked Close Dayzcommander (after joining server).

Also I find the best way to test my FPS is to use Single Player> Scenarios>04:Village Sweep in ARMA 2 OA as it uses same map with lots of units (i.e zombies), that sort of gives me FPS benchmark that I can expect in DayZ, depends on server though. But at least you can check if your tweaks are making any difference.

Thank for you suggestions.

I am using comodo firewall but it doesn't help to deactivate it, I didn't ever have any trouble with it. I also use sophos antivirus on access scan but it also doesn't help to deactivate that.

My bandwidth is something like 928 kByte/s/119 kByte/s up/down.

I tried what you said but sadly it didn't help.

By chance I played 5min with 20-30 fps today until I bugged through the wall of a tower and broke a leg... I have no idea how either (fps and bug) were possible ;)

I have the same issue except my internet is 50 MBps Download speed and 20 MBps upload speed. I run at 60 FPS on singleplayer, but on certain multiplayer servers it just lags to all conceivable hell! I cannot just up and switch servers because I have a UAZ filled with all types of goodies and those don't transfer between servers.

That is some really crappy connection speed.. I would guess that is the source of your troubles
