So, when can we expect a real helpful update?

[Toft 61]

if your computer have trouble running Arma2, as it is.. i dont think your nice little post about animals and shit causing fps problems is gonna solve alot :)

right dawg?

[opulenceguild@gmail.com 8]

I hope it will fix your problem.. if not try setting the texture resolution down.. the interface resolution controls the actual resolution of the screen, where the 3d resolution basically controls the resolution of the textures.

for instance try to run it something like this:

Interface res: 1920x1080

3d res: 1440x810

or whatever screen settings you use.. the important thing is the put that 3d Res a bit down.. it will boost your fps a bit.

atleast in my experience

I've tried doing that before ;)

When i try this in the regular Arma, this improves FPS by a HELL lot!

But unfortunately, it did not change anything for me while in DayZ :( .

Thanks though, i'll keep on looking ;)

Hi, so after doing so much extensive research on improving FPS, I have to say, i'm sad.

After all this work, i can still ONLY reach 18 fps at it's best.

Yes, I have a very recent laptop fit for gaming, so don't blame it on that, I have litterly tweaked all the settings possible, in-game, aswell as on the outside.

Even used the ramdisk program to use up more vram as an HDD system.

So yeah.

After reading a bit I saw that FPS used to be great on this game, and a recent patch seems to have brought it down.

When can we expect an FPS patch to fix it back again?

Thanks for any useful info. :)

May laptop is about a year old and only cost a grand Canadian, this issue is definitely on your end... There are some servers I join that are laggy though, like very laggy, but that seemed to be a serverside issue and not with my rig.

Best of luck to ya though.

wierd :( worked for my friend.

hope you get the problem fixed tho :)

[SillySil 295]

the biggest problems still lies with Arma 2.. because this is a mod for that game..

You were saying dawg?..

If he's not meeting the minimal requirements patching ARMA wouldn't help anyway, would it? And there are things causing FPS problems only in DayZ so ARMA patch is not the only thing that could have influence on FPS, you clown.

Aw, I have the same server situation, but my laptop is litterly only 6 months old. And checking the system requirements, I definitly surpass them, and that makes it more confusing.

Thanks for the input!

That's alright, any solution gets me a step closer, Thanks! ;)

I do meet the minimal requirements though, far past that even :)

I called you a clown because you behave like one. And this post just proves it.

You were wrong that only ARMA2 patches can influence FPS which I pointed out and then you posted some incoherent crap that makes no sense followed by calling me a "dawg" and now you run away from the argument trying to act all cool, but again making no sense.

im not running away from anything. i just wanna have a good time... and regarding the Arma 2 patches, yes maybe im wrong.. but the fact of the matter is. its properly not gonna get fixed.. and besides most computers, as far as i know, is running DayZ or Arma2 for that matter flawless... Some people ( and i aint blaming anyone in particular ) just have some wierd settings on there pc's in general wich makes them lag in several games.. maybe they have changed some settings they didnt understand or what now.. i cant say..

for what its worth.. maybe a DayZ patch will help, but i seriously doubt it.. hence you really cant pin point the problem exactly... and yes i know you posted that fine patch notes thing.. about animals and dead soldiers.. but its not certain that its what causing his problem for this guy.. or many others :)

and regarding the "dawg" thing.. you were the one starting out with "you were saying?" and not eleborate it in that post (either then posting some stuff about dead animals. causing fps trouble).. so you must have expected some type of funny / humorless / wierd or angry response...

Also OP, wasn't blaming it on your hardware, but rather a software issue. My room mate has pretty much the exact same laptop as me, a little over a year old, and he doesn't have issues either, and I know about five or six other people irl who don't have FPS issues. I'm not being all negative saying omg it's just you, more or less trying to narrow down the possibilities. I don't really think what you're experiencing is necessarily and issue with DayZ itself, or even Arma2, as your computer should be able to run both of those amazingly. I was having slight issues with FPS until I lowered my overall visability, which essentially reduces the amount of things, items, terrain, zombies, that are visually loaded for you at any given time, and lowering the shadow quality.

It's not certain that it's DayZ problem and not his settings. But, if he can run arma fine and in dayz he has low FPS, then it's probable. And it shows that it isn't very probable that it's arma2 problem.

So, if he can pinpoint the problem and it's within dayz or devs already know about it there can be a dayz patch to fix it. It doesn't need to be arma patch because there are FPS issues that come from the mod itself.

Now instead of admitting at the start that you maybe are wrong (which would keep the conversation on a civilized level), you resorted to incoherent backpedaling and calling me "dawg" among other bullshit.

[grimsonfart 49]

I would say no.. because this is a mod to another game.. wich is Arma2..

therefor to improve your FPS, its Arma that needs patching, and i bet that wont happen.. EVER :)

Not true. Its because of the various loading items in DayZ which dosent occure in Arma 2. DayZ is terribly optimized and can only be fixed with a big ass patch. Even a PC with a GTX 690 could have problems running DayZ. I can run Arma 2 everything set to max with about 40-50 FPS most of the time, in DayZ i usually will get 10-30 in the cities, and 20-30 in the woods Edited August 28, 2012 by grimsonfart

yeah :) but i started with the dawg stuff because you started the "you were saying?" stuff.. and giving no elaboration, other then a patch note quote. wich for all i know you could in theory just have written yourself, because there was no link to the source. i then ofc choose to believe you.. but still the maner you posted it. wasnt really keeping things down either was it :)

now.. can we all just be friends and try to kill some hackers in DayZ? or do we keep going at it like this :)

[christopherwright_75@hotmail.co.uk 109]

Your laptop GPU is low end thats a fact you need to face rather than going "LALALALA MY LAPTOP IZ GUD FOR GAMING"..... its not if you didnt spend £1500 or more on a laptop its not good for gaming and even then your £1500 laptop will get trounced by a £800 desktop. Also your laptop suffers heat issues when used for prolonged gaming all laptops do thats another fact.

If its got worse lately though check your laptop power settings aren't switching to the Intel Integrated graphics (which are worse again) this is a common problem I see with laptops and often explains the "OMG my FPS dropped" issues.

but then maybe it isnt DayZ or Arma2 thats the problem then? cause i run like 50+ fps in cities ( bigger ones ) and 60+ fps anywhere else in DayZ and i only have 560 GTX

and ofc 8 gig memory and i5 2500K series.

so in theory atleast i should have less fps then you i guess? cant remember if the GTX 690 is better then 560 GTX, but i assume so.

and i run DayZ in 1920x1080 with same 3d Resolution and visibility on max.. actually all settings or more or less on max if i remember right,

Did everyone in this thread forget that servers in this game have a massive influence on your FPS. Find a good server and your FPS will be better.

And you have to make me sound like a braindead 11 year-old? No where did I EVER make myself appear as an insufficient schooled person, so there's no need to become kid-like when giving me a response.

Before I even made this post, I want to make CLEAR to you, I've checked a hell lot of things, to make sure to avoid posts like yours.

My CPU is not the highest end, no, but it does come with turboboost technology, that kicks in at gaming processes to reach 3,1Ghz, which makes it an above-average processor, just not high-end like the 4,0+Ghz Processors, which SHOULD'NT be required for this game.

Now, for my cooling system, Coolsense is a new technology, and my laptop never goes above 35°C. I monitor this ALL the time, that's what the technology was designed for.

Now for your intel HD graphics sentence, I have been sitting in the Catalyst Control Center for a long while, and made SURE, it runs off of the Radeon HD card on High Performance. And yes, it increased the CPU usage more, but still only at 40%.

This laptop WAS indeed sold as a gaming laptop in the sections, and I DID get information before even considering the purchase.

Please don't say foolish things like your post if you don't know what I did. If you read up to my posts, you would've known, or could've derived it from what I said.

Now stop blaming everything on my laptop, it's not at fault, please.

I realise this, and as I said, I've hopped many server before :)

The german servers seem to break my FPS to 5, the french ones for now have gotten them to 15+.

Now i'm just trying to find something that goes to the actual "said" 60 fps, but no luck.

Thanks though.

yeah but the "you were saying?" has kinda a negative ring to it.. atleast imo. :) but enough of that mate. Lets just try to help these ppl with fps problems..

cause i must admit it sounds really wierd.. some ppl with monster pc's have low fps.. and others with smaller pc's have no problem at all

imo it could be some computer settings.. not dayZ or arma2 settings.. cause it smells a bit fishy to me

He said GPU, not CPU.

The AMD HD 7400M is most definately NOT what I would consider a high end or even a medium graphics card.

The HD7600 series is considered medium usage ie: movies and light gaming.

HD78-7900 series is the gaming graphics.

Your CPU is up to the task, but I would definitely take a closer look at that graphics card.

You showed yourself as insufficiently schooled in hardware the moment you said the laptop wasnt to blame, so stop acting butthurt and take the time to learn.

Its NOT a gaming machine its not even remotely close........ you got ripped off here deal with it lots of people get ripped off with "gaming laptops".

If you think your hardware NEVER goes over 35 degrees then seriously you should not even pretend you know what your talking about.

I've built and sold over 20 high and mid end gaming rigs this year and upgraded/repaired many others so while not a full time pro I know what I'm talking about.

DayZ is horrific for performance anyway I know people that run it one day flawlessley and the next have so many issues they consider quitting.
