Well considering it just started happening during this patch I would say it has something to do more with the game than your computer

Try running both Arma 2 and Arma 2 operation arrowhead fully to the main menu then try again. If that doesn't work let me know and I will walk you through some other options that might work

I was the same way when i started playing but then I got to a certain point where I wanted to make contact with other people whether it went well or not, eventually just playing against zombies will become more and more boring and you will want to mix it up by playing of servers with more people on it.

I think that the game is going alright but it just doesn't interest me like the mod did when I first started playing, I could go into more detail but most of my points have already been posted in this thread

Well in city's and town there is a lot more for the game to render like more loot, building, crashes, more people usually and that is why you will lag in towns and city's more than in the wilderness

You might not have wounds but you might have lost blood, or your gamma and brightness are weird

DayZ is a fantastic game and once all the bugs get worked out it will be even better If you dont like it there is a very simple way to fix it

I think that when you have broken legs you can just hit you Esc button and respawn

Even after the 4th time posting, Shirley is still serious

I am getting pretty good FPS but I am also playing on the lowest settings so I get those extra couple of frames and the game runs a bit smoother :)

Well dont worry about not being able to respond to find your body, it seems as soon as you hit respawn your old body disappears

Restart your game first of all, then if that doesnt work turn your fire wall off to test it and if that doesnt work turn it back on right away and re-install your DayZ. Hope this helps :)

I think the loot being in Balota is fine, you dont see nearly as many people running around cherno killing people as they are at Balota Airfield

Stay away from balota airfield if there is anymore than 5 people on the server, you are pretty much guaranteed to get shot by someone

Im not sure about the Stanag mags but I know that when people die or go unconscious they are pretty gliched, the guy was probably dead then he logged off the server making his body dissapear
