Is there a special reason you NEED a laptop?

I think it may be interface size thats the problem, could be too big. Try changing interface size to normal or small in teh video options.

What a bunch of cheating shitty arses you are.

Chernarus NEEDS CAVES :( Rocket take note! :D Awesome though xD

I agree. I see a lot of people who get all high and mighty about people cheating and they call them all sorts of names etc. But they themselves think its ok to log off if a zombie is killing them. So hypercritical.

For you perhaps. Not for all of us. And this taken literally would be ridiculously shit.

How long have you waited? Because some servers (usually with many people on) sometimes take aaaaaaaaages. And i mean far long enough for you to think fuck it it must have frozen. i remember when it happened to me and i left it on forever man just watching tv i kinda forgot about it, then it came on after what seemed like hours xD

Hmmm Do you have an SSD and GTX670 too? Because my friend has pretty much the same set up as this guy and he runs it all high no probs. Smooth as you like, even in cities even when recording.

NO STAMINA fuck that xD i get it seems more realistic, but think about it, think about how much running you do in game? And if you added ACE stamina, good luck trying to carry an assault rifle AND another gun perhaps sniper (god help people with M107 or heaven forbid an LMG AND a M107!) and all the rest of the gear (how much will tank traps and engines weigh?). All it will do in game is make you collapse every 5mins and you'll have to just lay there for another 5mins to gain your stamina back. This is annoying in ArmA 2, even with just one LMG you collapse all the fucking time. It would make DayZ unplayable.

Well if you're gunna add Shack tac movement, you should maybe think about adding the Shack tac bunny hop: http://www.tacticalgamer.com/armed-assault/188330-shacktac-bunnyhop.html Its already in DayZero so shouldnt be hard to add. Makes hopping fences when being chased by zombies less a slow sluggish pain in the arse

Its not that simple. There is emphasis on the Zee part at the end, its not just daisy its day-zee.

It just has a certain je ne sais quoi.

Dunno if you know, but this is already on DayZero. And if you add ACE please please please, dont add the ACE stamina thing. My god that would be the worst thing ever on DayZ. It would make it unplayable for me. For those who dont know what the ACE stamina system is: Basically, all your items and guns have weight, if you carry too much weight (And in DayZ you definitely will due to having multiple guns) you can only run so far until you collapse on the floor and can only crawl. You then have to stay still laying down or crouching to get your stamina back (and it takes a while). And if you carry a lot of weight you cannot run far at all, I cant stress enough how annoying it is even in Arma 2, but with DayZ we all know the amount of running you need to do in that game. Unplayable.

You could also try putting the @DayZ folder in the ArmA 2 folder that is inside My Documents. Also how are you starting the game? Are you just double clicking the short cut with out setting it up to actually load @DayZ? You cant just put the @DayZ folder in teh arma 2 folder then just double click the arma 2 short cut. You need to go into the parameters and set it to load @DayZ

Ahhh yeah I didnt notice that aye. Hmmm I have no idea then, i can only suggest trying dayz commander as it is automatic so will chose the right folder etc.

Also what hard drive do you have? Ive heard that can be the bottleneck on DayZ aswell as the CPU. Upgrading to an SSD can improve performance a lot.

Thats the wrong folder. Thats just Arma 2 folder you need to put it in Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead for it to work as DayZ needs that expansion to work. Also did you buy game through steam? Because I did and on my PC my ArmA 2 & Arma" operation arrowhead are in my programfiles(x86)/steam/steamapps/common. i would also advise you to get dayz commander for sure. This will make things MUCH easier for you to install and also to join servers etc. http://www.dayzcommander.com/

There is something that can add extra effects to the video options, I cant remember exactly, though i think they may be more to do with anti aliasing. Hmm i'll try find it. Ahh here it is, not sure if it will even work or its the right thing or whatever, but Im sure someone cleverer than me can xD http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=17837 EDIT: And I know that it seems like an ArmA 2 thing, but here is a guy using it with DayZ:

I cant believe no one has mentioned the most important and annoying thing! This is serious business. LISTEN UP DayZ devs and Bohemia peeps I DEMAND that those little click sounds when you put stuff in and out of your inventory are NOT tied to the music setting. I want those damn clicks, but i dont want the music. Sometimes I play with music just for those click sounds! Ahhh those clicks..... i think we can all agree this is far more important than dogs.

The physics (or lack thereof) in this game full stop smells of excrement. But then thats ArmA 2 and not DayZ i guess and they've fixed (or added it I should really say) in ArmA 3 thank god. As for the falling damage i do have mixed feelings. Like if you do fall of the barn thing, obviously IRL you wouldnt just drop perfectly vertical and land on feet, you'd trip over/fall in awkward ways etc. due to the shitty physics this cant be translated in game properly. Due to that, although in theory I agree if you fall 3m in an awkward position you can easily brake something, in game it just doesnt feel right somehow to me. Maybe if you JUST broke your leg and didnt lose blood/start bleeding all the time, it would be more realistic.

Try Play with Six, its kinda like dayz commander but it has other mods on too not just dayz. You just click on dayz and click install and it will (should do anyways hopefully xD) install 1.7.3. If that doesnt work, then you'll need to do it manually. First delete the @DayZ folder in your arma folder and then put the new @dayz folder in there. Here is a link to install it either with play with six or manually: http://dayzmod.com/?Download

These forums LOOK great, they really do, i like the design of them very much. However, performance is another thing. They're so slow and half the time you get "502 Bad gateway" errors or the page just doesn't load. And its been this way for ages now. And yeah you can say that, you know, its just a MOD forums, not like a proper game or whatever and wasnt designed for this much people, but this IS the forums of an up and coming proper title. And seeing as I love the game a lot and use the forums quite a bit, I complain (or suggest as I like to think xD) out of love, I want it to get better thats all xD Im sure you do too and are probably either working hard on making these forums better or looking at other providers already, if so great. And, im sure people have already suggested (xD hehe) this, but I did a search for "better forum provider" and just "forums" but couldnt find anything and thats as far as im willing to go effort wise just to make sure i dont post something thats already posted.

You definitely cant, this was on the DayZ Mythbusters video series. They tested it, doesnt work. Would be cool though.

Double post *sigh* It went so slow, i become impatient and clicked it twice xD Anyways, can i not delete this post? i dont see option to delete.

Hmmm Ive never had that problem, at first i thought it might where it goes into windowed mode (I have to do this sometimes to get rid of the graphics bug/artefact things), but yeah I dont think it is that. To get the windowed mode thing you press escape alt enter (its fiddly as sometimes doesnt work and just sort of alt tabs you to desktop). Also DayZ commander sometimes disconnects me from the internet, so I have it set to close once ArmA runs, maybe you could try that. And yeah, they fixed the names not showing up in todays update it seems thankfully. And yeah, tents man, i used to find them all the time when they didnt work. Now that they do, Im trying to make little back up camps all over the map in case I die so I can just go to one of my camps and gear up (providing they havent been robbed xD hasnt happened yet, fingers crossed). But I am finding a lot of sniper rifles lately, and not at the airfield. Found a few CZs in barns, DMR, M24 in balota and the firestations.
