Thanks for clarification. I then propose changing that to reducing the % left. It just makes more sense. Or in other words, it makes no sense have a full tape in hands, after having been restrained by it 😅

Yes, I can confirm, finally yesterday I found a punched card. Thanks for looking into this anyways.

Thanks, good to know! Question is, if the paper spawn somehow reduces that chance of punched card. Anyway, might be totally unrelated...

I get your point, I had the exact same thoughts, BUT: I spent around 80 hours trying to fix that problem (I always put it in my calender so I could calculate the time in the end). And only because of a tech savvy friend of mine, I came to the solution. I was hesitant to spend money to fix the problem, but in the end it was the ONLY thing that fixed the problem for me. So my here intent is to save you your precious time, cause I sank MUCH to many hours into the problem without fixing it. I wish I would've just listened to my friend and bought the new SSD after 20 hours of problem solving instead of 80 😅
But in the end it's your own decision and your own resposibility, of course!
I just share my experience here, because I can relate to you so much, cause I had the same problem and wore me down mentally at a certain point 🤯

Yeah, it looks like both your SSDs perform worse in a number of categories than my old SSD that caused the freezes did. So – without being an expert – my guess would be that a new SSD with higher performance may solve your problem as it did solve mine.
One thing to consider: sometimes the connector (PCIe version number) might be the bottle neck, not the SSD itself. Even an up to date high performing SSD can't run at its potential, if it is connected on an outdated PCIe version connector on the mainboard.
For comparision: My SSD is the "WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD 1 TB" connected via PCIe3 and it fixed the problem for me instantly.
Hope it helps and you will fix this as well soon!

You are welcome. Well, I thought the same, but it worked. Take a look at my speeds:

It's not as simple as read/write speeds, as the third and fourth row show. I used crystaldiskmark to check the speed. Maybe you should try that.

Hi! I had the exact same issues, only the stutters were even longer. I also got into lengths to find the error and I could finally narrow it down to read/write spikes on my ssd, every time I closed inventory. In the end, I bought a new, faster SSD and in an instant, the stutter was gone. Nothing else helped or even improved the issue.

EDIT: I also have only one SSD, so system and Dayz is on one drive. But as far as my research told me, that's is the preferred way to run DayZ for some reason, and it causes less problem. Forgot the reasoning behind it, this was over a year ago, iirc.

Yep, this one is hugely annoying and I think it wasn't listed under "known issues" lately...
