I think a quick workaround would be to implement some kind of LOD for light sources. Where only a certain quantity of light are rendered within a given radius to the player.

Hello SmoothPlay.
Would it be possible to upload your server storage for us?

The fact that some people on PS4 seem to not crash so often is curious. And that some people don't seem to crash often at all.

2 lights seem to work relatively fine. When it comes to 3 lights the crash is certain. Also, consider that this lights are in a moderate base in Grabin official server.

lost many good weapons this way :)

I think it was a regular server btw

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I'm not stuck anymore, i killed myself by jumping from the top of the building.

I just wanted the bug to be fixed.

Thanks a lot. Altho i prefer priority on bugs like random freezes, altho i have good fps i still have some wierd freezes constantly. How thats fixed soon otherwise the game is unplayable for me. I made another issue page about that.

Thanks a lot for your attention.

But every reflection on the map desepears, not only where shadows are. Where there are no shadows, reflections should still be there.

Hello! Just to update this issue, I gave another try to DayZ after I saw the new patch, unfortunately the freezes still persists in the new update Stable 0.51.125720. I almost died when 2 zombies charged me while I was completely freezed.

I enjoyed to patch tho, very good work, loved the fact that zombies no longer get across closed doors and walls. The rain effect and all the other improvements.

Thank you.

Report on this problem on patch 53:

The freezes aren't so severe right now. I think I can consider this game a bit playable now.

Except for some very big cities or towns... or sometimes random places... The Freezes have gotten better substancially.

I still want to see this fully fixed. I will hate when I'll die because of this. Some times it does freeze when I'm fighting zombies and it's very annoying because there is no way but to get hit.

Sometimes it seems like the fact of getting hit, provokes the freeze too. Not sure about this tho.

Thanks for the late but kind reply, I uploaded my DxDiag, it's in Portuguese, hope there is no problem about that...

I did try to lower all my settings, to the lowest actually, even textures, but the game still freezes on cities, altho it runs great on forests and such. I also played with all the other aplications closed, even with Windows defender off. No fix.

I also changed all the laptop and graphics card settings to performance to play this game, and still wont fix it.

The other day I found out that my ram is about 89% when playing this game, I have 4GB DDR3 1600mhz. The game keeps using around 2gb or more, but the ram is at that percentage. I probably need to buy more ram to play this game. I will def buy more, but in the recommended specs on steam says 4gb... so...

I can play games on ultra like BF3, BF4, FC3, Tomb Raider, etc. I have a 64x system and Dayz should be optimized for that.

Hope you guys do something about it in the near future, since i bought the game but already unistalled it cus it's pretty much unplayable. Happened to a lot of my friends too.

It's okay Andy, I don't want to be the mean guy to push you guys. Just would like to play this amazing game with no performance issues.

Thank you, Cheers.

With the new 0.50 update I think things got a little bit better... But Still have massive unplayable freezes near buildings and cities, the game runs well in the forest and other places far from buildings.

It's been a month and still no one checked this problem i'm having that makes the game unplayble for me and a lot of people. When in fact one of the staff said it was going to check this... I bought the game for 24€ and i can't just play in peace because of this stutterings. Please give priority to the performance issues instead of adding more unstable features. I know it's an Alpha... but atleast make it playble for those who want to help fixing DayZ and have some fun in the process.

Same happens to me, pretty anoying... I was able to do something that helps, which is in the Geforce painel control, activate performance option in the energy control on DayZ aplication. but it's still really bad, they must fix this, first than anything else, or the game is unplaybale.

Same here, altho i fear it will take a long time till they fix this... its been almost a year since people complain about this, and they are working on the console version. So the Pc version is being left aside. Hope im wrong tho.
After all i paid 24€ for this game. I think its quite disrespectul to just leave the pc gamers aside. Altho the console version will help technicly and financily for the pc version.

If you add this feature, make sure to add Religion too.

Depending if the character is religious or not, ( the same that happens with blood types ) you could get an item related to that religion ( a cross for example ), in order to lower your guilt for killing.
