By the way, the game shouldn't use more than 2048 mb of ram, so it's up to you to decide. # The amount of Ram the game can use, if you got 2GB of Ram set it to 2048 - 1024(-maxMem=1024), 4GB 3072, 8GB 7168 and so on. Quad Core with 8 threads: -cpuCount=4, -exThreads=7 Dual Core with 4 threads: -cpuCount=2, -exThreads=3 # How many extra cores/threads your CPU has, see the list below: If you got a CPU which has more than 4 cores, see -exThreads parameter info. # How many cores your CPU has, for example: for a dual core cpu the number 2 (-cpuCount=2), for a quadcore 4 (4 is the maximum value).

If -winxp parameter still makes your game crash, you may try running it in windows xp compatibility mode manually. If you want to change your settings, just exit the game, remove the parameter, run the game, change the settings, exit again and re add -winxp. Also, remember to not change any settings while you're ingame or the game will crash. If you encounter any problem and your game doesn't start anymore, just remove it. Then try to add the -winxp parameter again and start the game. If the game crashes, try lowering the HDR to very low, by starting the game without the parameter, and setting the hdr in the rendering options. This command will make the game run in windows xp compatibility mode. If you encounter this problem, just remove the parameter. Sometimes it could make the game crash (for example if you press Alt+Tab and then reopen it), but it will grant you about 10 fps in cities and 20 fps in the other places. Warning: If you're already using Windows Xp don't use this command. # This command might increase your FPS a lot. Now you can add multiple commands which will help improving game performance. There you will add the Game launch parameters. Select Properties, under the General tab click Set launch options. First of all, open Steam, then click Library, find DayZ and right click on it.
