bearmasksenpai Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 it becomes unplayble due to lag (whitch maybe the team is working on that i don't know but my potato can't handle the cars update it lags to death it tryed it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoland99 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Ikr ? Same here. It can barely move, my pc (potato) is processing it as if I were master-hacking the United Nation Data Servers or something .-_-. But really now, I would like to see it be more optimized to slower working computers. It lags less without zombies from the tests I've made so maybe zeds/vehicles is what's causing them since the vehicle is faster than us so the zed spawn-tracking is not as fast on older pc's. I tried with all my settings from medium-high to low :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batsphinx Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 What are the tech specs of the machines you guys are running on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoland99 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Here they are, my PC is not too great but it's fairly new (3-4 years old). Hope this is all you asked for ._. Anything else and I'd gladly help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoland99 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I can also show the low settings that I'm using for the Vehicle Build if needed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmasksenpai Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 my game works just fine without cars speedy and the like but cars just lag it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoland99 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Sounds just like my PC but a bit worse XD I feel u man (or woman, or helicopter, whichever gender you are). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veromaye Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Is my PC worse than both of yours? I wish I had more RAM man ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoland99 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I think it is, but only by a slight bit (more). Cars are a real issue now XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearmasksenpai Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 But we all have one thing in common Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogieMan Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Haha yeah, gaming on less than 8GB of RAM these days is generally not going to be an optimal experience. To be honest I'm kind of surprised it can even be run at all on a system with only 2GB. I'd say the 8GB minimum has applied for at least.. 5 years or so? So for it to run on 2GB, which is also being gobbled by your operating system and whatever else may be running is an impressive accomplishment for Project Zomboid.

bearmasksenpai Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 However do we get more ram that is the importen qusetion pz is runing just fine without cars but when cars are added i'll be froced to stop playing do to lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogieMan Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Check out www.newegg.com for new RAM. You'll want to look at the specifications for your motherboard to see what kind of memory is supported. You can find the information online or in the manual that came with your PC/parts. It's fairly inexpensive these days, outside of the ultra high end exotic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutz Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 A lot of RAM won't do A lot in this game, I would say it's more CPU intensive. I have 16GB of RAM and it's still around 20 - 30 fps when driving, on foot it's 50 - 60. Though faster RAM would be better than alot of RAM. It probably does have something to do with all the zeds spawning in because when you turn them off and drive around it's noticably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but getting a new CPU is more expensive, and depending on the age of the rest of your parts (namely motherboard and memory) you may have to replace them all to work with a newer CPU. That and if those are laptops, upgrading RAM is more likely to be feasible than the CPU. Windows 7/10 (64bit) both state 2GB of memory as the minimum requirement. That means that amount is already bare minimum for the operating system alone. Since I doubt those systems have SSDs there is a good chance that a fair part of the poor performance is the system struggling with passing data constantly back and forth between the memory and the hard drive since there isn't enough memory to store everything needed. The cars move much faster than on foot so the game has to load and unload data at a much more rapid rate, that and they are still experimental and undoubtedly will get more optimizations. My advice would be to get 8GB of the fastest memory those systems can support, and an SSD if you aren't interested in getting a newer system. Just loading up PZ on the vehicle build in a new game with nothing going on around it was sitting at 1.2GB of memory used. That will want to spike up the more there is around you and the longer you play, now that amount being split with Windows 7/10? That's going to be a throughput bottleneck. It would also help to pick up a solid state drive. At least the file swapping would be a lot faster, even if the RAM was insufficient. It's also something you could keep using when you finally do upgrade the rest. Putting Windows on an SSD will make a *huge* difference for any system that supports one. I'd even go so far as to saying getting a solid state drive is the single most noticeable upgrade anyone can do to their system. Another thing I didn't remember until just now is using an attached USB or SD card sort of like RAM extension, for those of you with little memory, check this out: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/is-readyboost-still-an-effective-tool-in-windows-10/ It explains what it is and has a good walkthrough of how to do it, it's not difficult.

iwawa Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Try turning off multi-core and setting max FPS to 30, see if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
