Description


Hello, I would greatly appreciate any help
I've done a lot of research in over last three weeks to try and figure fix this problem and i've think its something to do with disk spikes,

This does happen in vanilla but its a lot worse playing on a modded server, pressing tab with nothing in hand will mini freeze for 0.1 - 1 second, if i have a modded item in hand or on my character its alot worse, sometimes freezing for up to 8 - 9 seconds.

Opening task manager and resource show only disk spiking to 100%. normally its at 4% - 5% playing dayz,, when i press tab it spikes up alot and sometimes it hits 100%, that's when it freeze's

cpu/gpu/ram are all very low.

it also stutters just running around the world. freezing randomly from 1 second to 9 seconds, sometimes this ends up as a crash, i will attach logs of this. sometimes i can play for 10 - 20 minutes without this happening. the majority of time i can run around and play the game as usual with 140+ fps but when it has to "load" something in, disk spikes.

I put on a modded ghillie suit an it was absolutely unplayable. it was constantly just freezing every microsecond, On the workshop they were all highly rated and no support problems,

This isn't unique to one server, iv tried a multiple of servers, i'm linking a video below that showcases the same problem, but i don't freeze when shooting zombies,

also the solution in this video did not work for me,

Six friends that all have worst pc specs than me and do not have this problem on any of the server we have tried.

spec:
i5 9400f
gtx 2060
ssd WDC WDS 100T2G0A-00JH30

I've tried reinstalling windows.
Unsubscribe from every mod and reinstalled.
Verified Dayz,
Set high priority to dayz.exe.

Hello acehigh144.

Please try the following:

Verify the game data through Steam and delete the configuration files when prompted to do so (make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled for DayZ before doing this) - you can also delete the config files manually by clearing the C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ folder

Open the DayZ launcher
Select PARAMETERS menu
Select ALL PARAMETERS tab
scroll down and check "Bulldozer" parameter
Launch the game
Once launched, close the game
Uncheck bulldozer
Launch the game again without any parameters

We also suggest trying different version of your drivers. If you are running any sort of software like MSI afterburner or rivatuner, we also suggest to turn these programs off.

Also, have you tried to disable all software running in the background and launch only DayZ?
Regards,
Geez
