How to Boost DayZ

There are a few files which can be tweaked on your system that will give you a performance boost in DayZ Standalone. However, there is a reason that these options cannot be tweaked from the in-game menu and that is that tweaking these settings can make your gameplay experience unstable and potentially ruin your experience. You have been warned!

First of all you want to locate ‘My Documents\Dayz\Dayz.cfg‘. You can edit this file in ‘notepad‘ or any other text editor. Open it up and edit the following:

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1 – set this to 1.
GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1 – set this to 1.
Now you want to open another file, you can locate it at: ‘My Documents\Dayz\<name> (where <name> is your DayZ Profile name). You can edit this file in ‘notepad’ or any other text editor. Open it up and edit the following:

sceneComplexity=100000 – this number affects your object details. Setting it anywhere from 50000 to 15000 can gain you a few frames.
Default Values: Very Low = 200000
shadowZDistance=50  – this number affects the distance at which shadows are drawn, setting this to a lower value will increase FPS.
Default Values: Very Low = 100;
preferredObjectViewDistance=500 – this number affects the distance in metres that the engine will draw objects. A lower number will greatly improve performance. Setting this below 800 makes you vulnerable to taking fire from invisible enemies that haven’t been rendered on your screen yet.
Default Values: Very Low = 800
viewDistance=500 – this number affects the distance at which you will be able to see objects. A lower number will increase performance, but setting it below 800 will mean that you may not be able to see incoming threats like players or zombies in the distance.
Default Values: Very Low = 1000
