Hey there, I was on Seattle 105 not five minutes ago with one of my friends and I was running through Elektro after just respawning when I noticed that there was a lot of smoke on the horizon. So I ran further into the city to find that the buildings were being demolished one after another and the wreckage was everywhere. I was put off by this of course, but what was even weirder was that there was no one else around doing anything to bring the buildings down, after watching a fifth building go down I walked out into the street to get a better look. All of a sudden I keeled over and died, no zeds, no players anywhere near to be able to kill me. I'm sure it wasn't a sniper because I know what that sounds like, when it's a bullet whizzing past your head and not you just dying for no reason. It was like I hit "Respawn." I apologize in advance, I don't have any solid proof so my post will most likely be ignored but it's 3 am here right now and I'm zoning out completely. I'll try and get proof later tomorrow. I just wanted to bring this to someones attention. Thank you, Matthew

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. My menu screen, for some reason, is now hitching to all hell when I'm just trying to move my mouse over to the "Multiplayer" button, it's so bad that it takes me forever to click anything because my mouse will move back to its original position if I don't quickly move it and try and force it to where I want it to go before it switches back. Would love some info on this if any is available. Well, I tested a few things out and it seemed that when I switched around the 3D resolution, the lower I set it the better my frame rate got. Before I was able to have my normal resolution and 3D resolution set to the same setting without having any trouble, now to get anything near "acceptable" frame rate I have to set the 3D resolution to 50%. Which makes the game look like crap on my screen, but at least I can move. I'm praying for some sort of fix for this because I know it isn't my computers specs that are the issue cause I was fine before today.

I have the same issue, sort of. When I try to move I hitch every second or so like I have a limp. So let's say, in 6 steps it would be: Step, step-hitch-step, step, step-hitch, step. If that makes sense. Sorry if it's confusing but I'm not too sure how else I could describe it. It isn't a problem with my computer I know that, after installing the newest beta patch I'm having fps issues.

I'd love to see this stuff implemented. I'd totally be up for more teamwork, I'm tired of being shot and killed when I try and help someone just because they are scared of me betraying them. Even though I've said I would help them, I know saying "friendly" in chat doesn't really work, that's because you can't tell someones meaning very well through text as you could through actually hearing their voice. But I digress, all in all I'm totally in support of this! =D

No fear of death? I fear death all the time, so much so that I have to have complete silence when playing so I can hear as well as I possibly can. Especially at night. Other games I like to have music playing in the background, and again, especially in horror games. Just because I'm a scaredy cat and hate being frightened I play music over the jump scares in games, but I keep playing them because on some sick level in the end I like it. But with DayZ, I have to have every advantage I can get, because I am so afraid of dying. If I have music on, or if the TV is going, I will probably die from something I didn't hear coming. So TL;DR: There is, at least for me, a real fear of dying.

I was thinking about how dog companions would be a really cool addition. Glad that rocket is already thinking about implementing the idea =D

Love the suggestions, and I totally agree that the difficulty is a big big part in what makes this game so fun. I feel so good when I can stay alive. Especially when I encounter a situation which I had handled wrong and died, and since I am aware that I handled it wrong I can go about that same kind of situation and I usually live. It's all about baby steps, for me at least, each life I get better, stronger, faster, smarter. Each life I live a little longer and the longer I can live, the more beans I get to eat.

YES! This! So much this! I'd love to write a journal for my character! The thing I love most about DayZ is the level immersion that it has without even trying all that hard to have it. It seems to just emanate from the game, this would only make immersion that much more intense. I really hope this gets implemented!

This is a great idea, I certainly hope something like this, if not this specifically, gets implemented. =D

Yeah the Worrom's installer doesn't want to work for me, it starts off the path thinking I have the Steam version, which I don't. So, I put in the path that I know is correct, the one with Arma2oa.exe in it and it still says that the path is incorrect. I don't know what to do and I really want to play.

I'm having the same problem, no matter what I do I can't seem to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
