can i play dayZ with low-end pc ? (2020-2021 - update 1.10 - 1.11 - 1.12 - 1.13)

HI GUYS

If you are using a low-end system and you want to know if your pc can run the game, here is some information for you

[ i will update this guide after game updates and add more in game image ]
---------------------------------
EDIT [2021] :

( 1.10 ) IN-GAME IMAGE [2020] ----- ( 1.11 ) IN-GAME IMAGE [2021] ----- ( 1.12 ) IN-GAME IMAGE [2021]

NEW UPDATE : ( 1.13 ) IN-GAME IMAGE [2021]

config file step-by-step with image guide [2021]

ENGLISH TRANSLATOR : Brynjölf

I achieve 10 - 29 fps on average with lowest settings, using the config file
setup included below, along with my laptops specs.

OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
CPU : core i7
RAM : 8 GB ram
GPU : Intel HD 4000
HDD/SSD : I play with an HDD, however an SSD is recomended to really cut loading times

note:
With 8gb of RAM, after 50 minutes or so your RAM will be full, so I suggest having
16 gb instead.
-------------------
The game can run using a core i3, however performance will not be very good.
( tested on intel i3 3225 3.30 Ghz )
-------------------
I recommend you have at least a GPU that matches the intel HD 4000.

1 ) first go here and open dayz folder :



2 ) Here you see the three specified files :



3 ) First, enter this file {dayz.cfg} and open it with Notepad :



4 ) Here you can change the screen resolution of the game :



NOTE : Two examples of the best resolution for better performance :
1024 * 768
800 * 600

5 ) Enter this file { m%2em_settings } in the next step :



6 ) Find these phrases in this file :



NOTE :The amount of numbers is completely different for you at first time

7 ) add this [ 200000 ] for this [ sceneComplexity ] like this :



8 ) add this [ 100 ] for this [ shadowZDistance ] like this :



9 ) add this [ 100 ] for this [ viewDistance ] like this :



10 ) add this [ 100 ] for this [ preferredObjectViewDistance ] like this :



11 ) Do not touch this file[ profile.vars ] :



done .
