Yeah I was getting the same issue. So far. Fraps cant capture (on my I7 / GTX 770 rig) at 1080 running 0.60. (jerky, staggered recording) Shadowplay is far too dark and has crappy variable speed recording useless good for most vid editing s/ware And OBS only records a Black Screen, Audio and Mouse Pointer. No Video! So yeah. Must be a DX11 / DayZ issue. Other DX 11 games seem ok under OBS ?! What is your GFX setup ?

Really great post. However. Speaking of Green Mountain is somewhat taboo. You should already know that. :)

Oh well. I agree that pumps could or should be rarer. And possibly run out of water. Water is far too common across the map. Those little ponds and water holes are everywhere. Why not put some zombie corpses in some of them an contaminate the water. Something the purification tablets couldn't fix.

Interesting. It would be nice that a base could be locked once you are offline but there should also be a way of busting in .....even if may take some some time and / or give your location away in the process. :)

For sure it's nowhere near 'watertight' and there are immersion problems as you state. It will be interesting what system / model does eventually make the final cut. It may turn out that they adopt the same system for tent persistence as was and still is, in the mod

Good point. Perhaps the tent is not there for the re-spawned player only. Visible to everyone else but the re-incarnated. Tents full of loot are safety nets for the recently departed. I may not have the perfect suggestion but something along these lines should (could) be looked at.

Some truth there however it proved in the past (in the Mod) to be an easy fallback spot. A safety net of sorts. I also dont think you should lose should be able to run back and loot your own body. Perhaps your body and contents should be visible to all but you....being re-incarnated should have it's penalties.

As soon an tents work and are here to stay, the gameplay will change dramatically. I for one like the idea of a tent but would like to see the following applied to the process of persistence. If you pitch the tent, fill it with goodies and later die....then the tent dies along with you. It's contents disappear along with it. Otherwise, the consequence of dying is not a consequence at all. And consequence is what makes DayZ so great. Nobody wants to lose everything, but it's what makes our heart thump when were are all fully geared / supplied and in a dire situation. One of the main reasons I noticed DayZ back in the day was by watching a very early youtube video from the Mod. One guy held another guy up and demanded beans of all things. Beans or death. So the victim complied and death was avoided. I have played many a video game in my time and have never seen anything like this prior to that short and sweet video. Just sayin'

They see me rolling Couldn't resist.

Radio spawns....in Stable anyway. Have not seen or heard of anyone finding a battery though.

I like your style. Combat loggers should all be dealt with when the opportunity arises.

cool story owen

Swim to Australia

Too soon to say if they will make the ATC's a high value loot spot. But I agree with you. The Airfields need a buff. Bring back that old feeling of paranoia like the old days. Also, not sure why the NEAF had its ATC removed.
