DayZ a latency diva?

[Darrus Dreadtiger 6]

Now, I admit right at the beginning I don't have the best of connections. I can hardly run youtube videos on 320p while playing, but even rummaging around DayZdb map a bit can kick my rear right out of the game in an instant. Is the game that merciless by nature?

ps. "get a better connection" is not an option.

Yes, it is. Than again, my GPU is complete garbage.

You're not supposed to use internet while playing... And especially not a loot map. I'm not sure what's your problem here.

[Darrus Dreadtiger 6]

Should have mentioned that I have a shared connection.

I suppose I'll just have to take it as is... It's not like I can do anything about it. <.<

And what's "I'm not supposed to use the internet while playing" mean? I do that with about all other games I have. I have two monitors for a reason :I

Do you have a smart phone?

DayZ has an app!! I use the map on this for new maps like takistan etc using my phone internet If the app is no updated.

Best thing you can do is to find a server closest to your current location and hope for the best! If anything, try rummaging out any files not needed, clean up the computer or place the router somewhere with more connectivity.
