Just something I was musing about this morning, wondering what the age average would be for Dayz, possibly compared to other popular games. Now I'm pretty old (37) and I know a few other dayz players who are around my age, and I have also encountered lots of teens during my travels in Cherneraus, thought it would be an interesting statistic.

Always night start with nvg only weapon that spawns is hatchet.

I think that may be deliberate...

Ok I have solved this issue for me at least (if anyone cares), it seems if you alt-tab to desktop then back into the game the lag disappears! Why this should work is beyond me but hey.

Yep i am having this same problem, thing is I have 2 pcs that are used to play dayz, one is fine with no lag on low ping servers, the other one lags horribly on the same servers, tried multiple servers same thing, and when you quit to menu the main menu lags up too.

There was a thread on another gaming forum I frequent, sounded awesome so bought arma2, glad I did got 2 great games for the price of one.

Yeh I've met some decent youngsters whlist dayzing, even joined up with one 14 old guy once (we died).

Dont you also have to actually run Arma2OA first without the dayz mod or is that just me being dumb?

Yep kamenka all the way, plus there are sometimes camps in the hills near the edge of the map there.

Still, actual real people work for BE and at it must be really discouraging to put work into it and hear all this negative feedback about how shit and ineffective they are, at least they are doing something.

thats a lot of work

If you are telling the truth then its kinda bad luck, but just goes to show dont even mess with hacks even when you are angry.

Not sure if this has been posted before, so feel free to delete if it already has. Good page for tips and tweaks to improve perfomance, really helped me as I have 2 machines that are running dayz, the other machine is only a amd2500 + nvidia 8600gt which is somewhat below specs and it made quite a considerable difference mucking around with some of these settings. http://www.rockpaper...-on-performance doh spelt performance wrong in title

guess i should learn to use the search function more effectively :)

dont worry, Im 37 and that describes me down to a tee stupid money

video memory default, turn down draw distance, disable vsync and change 3d resolution to the same as your displays native res. Also AA and postprocessing turned off can make a difference but will look a bit shit.

yeh would be cool to have a hotkey just to show the blood level only, but hey it doesnt detract from the game any.

You can use the Arma2 demo but you still need the the full version of OA, with the arma 2 demo you only get the basic textures, and may get some wierd graphical glitches going on. Seeing as you are only saving 10 bucks you may as well get the lot.

Seriously, kamenka is one of my preferred spawn points, didtn anyone see that video posted a while back? In 15 minutes you can hit up to 4 deer stands and end up in Zelenogorsk supermarket, after that I usually have enough gear to go on with. Remember there is a power line that goes straight from Zeleno to cherno, not even any need for navigation.

as long as you can cut stupid instakills and whole server teleporting, i dont mind being killed as much by actually being shot by a weapon, even if it is hacked or duped. At least you have a chance to fight back.

Ok so I am running through forest just south of the NE airfield and suddenly I fall over and die, hack? I joined another server and I heard flies but I am in the same spot with all my gear but I am lying sideways on the ground and cant move, though I can look around wtf? Does this mean I have to wait until I die of thirst before I can do anything? Like I am not unconscious ore legs broken or anything, just cant move, cant fire. Ok, well while I was lying there waiting to starve someone came up and headshotted me, even if it was a hacker enjoy my loot cos at least I can play again.(I was in a pretty isolated area dont think anyone else but maphack would have found me.)

doh didnt think to try that as I wasnt bleeding or anything

excellent, will be trying later on this evening!

I would be interested in this, email sent.

no one on this server? not much point with 0 players
