Yeah you need 1.62.103718 for dayz. Have you tried getting 1.60 from these mirrors http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=15831 theres at least a couple there that are still working for me.

I'm hoping they go with something like this http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?148861-Rendering-grass-at-long-distances-My-thoughts-about-it Basically just add a grass texture to all distant players, breaking up the straight line you get when a player is just sunk into the ground.

US 3480, vanilla public hive usually has plenty of players.

As Ratsmon said its "," or ""." to change channels. Use Caps Lock to talk, Most servers only allow you to use your mic in the direct channel, which just broadcasts 100m around and the vehicle channel,

It's been suggested a few times and i really like the idea. Not only does it give greater consequences to dying it also makes killing people from a distance less rewarding because by the time you get to the corpse much of the gear could be ruined, and so encourages bandits to get up close and personal and take more risks.

This is most likely an issue with that particular server or overwatch itself, try asking here http://dayzoverwatch.com/

Sorry, i genuinely thought you were joking, i'd always go with the AK over a shotgun. shotguns are only any good up close while the AK can be used full auto up close or switch to semi for a bit of range. Guess it really depends on your playstyle though as i usually prefer to keep a bit of distance to anyone who might have nasty intentions. Also you can pick off zeds with an AK if you really have to without aggroing the whole town.

I believe that deserves a LOL

The G36A beats the the L85 as you can swap between the long range sight and the red dot sight by pressing NUM /. also they both use the same mags so do the same damage.

Its commendable that you want to show your appreciation, but try to look at it this way, if i was game developer and i had a choice between receiving £20 or having that same money spent buying my game i'd much rather they bought the game because every sale goes towards the games success more success means more control over future projects and an overall more rewarding career.

Ah, so you just want to donate straight to him. well thats very different to a kickstarter. And seriously i doubt he would accept it, he's said before even when the mod first came out that he didn't want to accept donations. Personally i think the best way to reward him and the rest of the team is to help them make a great game by giving good feedback when the alpha comes out.

Ok, to test, run arma 2 oa, go to expansions and make sure dayz is disabled and beta is enabled, then back at the main menu select mutilplayer check that Address: is set to internet and that theres nothing in the filter box and you should see a list of arma missions.just try a few to see if you can join ok. Also regarding the BAF and PMC dlc, you dont need them to play the game so just leave them for now, all they add to dayz is extra HD textures.

Can you join normal arma 2 missions or is it just when trying to play dayz? If you're sure everything is installed correctly maybe its an issue with your firewall or router, try restarting your router and as a test disable your firewall. Also one common mistake is that you need to make sure you run arma 2 and arma 2 oa before you install the arma beta patch.

If you want to give more money to the project just wait until the game releases and buy multiple copies.

Thats your story and you're sticking to it ;)

If you look to the top right of the page theres a follow topic button.

Can you give anymore details? does it give you an error message?

Awesome, ha, just wish i knew about all this before i got rid of my fx 4100 a few months ago.

That video was from 2012. a lot has changed since then.

Thats more a server issue than a problem at your end. a lot of servers run far too many extra scripts with too many players/vehicles and don't restart often enough. nothing much you can do about that other than find a better server.

Dont know if this will help but check this thread out http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/152322-cannot-break-35-fps/ The guy had a similar problem with an fx-6300 and apparently fixed it by setting his startup parameters to -cpuCount=3 So for you try setting it to -cpuCount=2 Not sure why it would work but as an uneducated guess i think it might be that arma/windows7 doesnt recognise the new architecture of the FX chips correctly. Here's a write explaining how the FX chips differ from other cpu's if you want to understand it a bit more http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1e8226/discussion_amds_module_architecture_the_fx_8350/ Also heres the windows 7 patch which should get you better performance overall http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2645594

Enjoyed that, slow mo zombie church massacre was a nice touch.

30-40fps isnt bad for those specs, but you should be able to get a bit more out of it with some tweaking. though 50-60 is unlikely. First heres a pretty decent guide http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/28160-guide-how-to-set-up-your-graphics-properly/ If thats not enough then you might want to consider overclocking your cpu as dayz is very processor heavy. Also i recently started using RAMdisk, and while it didnt improve my frame rate dramatically it did make everything run a lot smoother with far fewer lag spikes. here's the guide i used http://www.22ndsas.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=9205

Found myself trying to close the gear menu while watching a video recently, not a common occurrence though.
