1:I would love higher FPS myself, BUT using the old Tim Schafer analogy. Asking devs to do ONE THING (Optimise) first, is like asking an artist to paint all the yellow before he can use other paints, it is doable, but it will likely be a crap painting. 2: Alpha (which is the current state of the game), is generally not when you balance/optimise/fix stuff, that is the beta stage. Alpha is the stage where you throw stuff at the wall and see if it/what breaks. 3: When actual optimizations are ready and don't break other features of the game, they will added. Until then, let the people working on optimizations, work on optimizations and do their work right, so we don't have to patch the patches for the updates. To quote any good dev "It is done, when it is done" 4: The people doing animations, gun models, etc, etc, etc, that you see in the current updates, are probably utter shit at doing engine side optimizations to a engine that is basicly 12+ years old. The people who can do optimizations for this engine, are doing it. Or do you want them to stop working until the engine guys are are done? Hint: Dayz would reach beta in 2016. 5: What the developers say:“DayZ Early Access is your chance to experience DayZ as it evolves throughout its development process. Be aware that our Early Access offer is a representation of our core pillars, and the framework we have created around them. It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle.” Soo the question is, do you "clearly understand" Early Access? Repeat: "We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle.”

Try starting the game in windowed mode with shadowplay turned off. Turn on Shadowplay when you get into the main menu and then make the game fullscreen again. Sometimes Shadowplay has problems during the launch of a game, but once the game is launched it is alot easier "hooking" Shadowplay to whichever game. Same as you, i can't get shadowplay to work if DayZ launches fullscreen, but you "CAN" work around it.

Yeeh, any GPU will work with any CPU. You don't need to worry about that. You just need to worry about your motherboard having the correct slots and your powersupply being sufficient. 1:I would recommend either getting a Nvidia or the newest AMD cards tho.. But if the 7770 is on a good sale, get it. It is still a solid card, you aren't gonna get any nerd-cred for having it, but it is a nice starting gamer GPU. 2: Don't upgrade to a AMD cpu if the main focus of the computer is gaming. I know it will be more pricey, but a new motherboard+ Intel CPU would most likely be a preferable solution. 3:While your RAM is on the low side, you are not in the dangerzone just yet. I myself am running with 8 gigs, and never approach the limit, unless I am rendering a video or a program is going haywire. TBH you can properly make due with 6 gbs for another few years. If you really wanna upgrade it, I would say 12gigs is more than fine. When looking at RAM make sure you try to alway used a set of sticks together. Don't buy a single stick of 8gigs, getting 2x4gigs would be faster (provided you insert in the correct RAM slots and have "multi-channel" enabled.

You need to new computer in general, even if you were to get a new Graphics card, it would likely be limited by the PCI-E lane on your older motherboard. But it would still be better. (you can still use newer cards in older PCI-E ports, they just downclock). To your post, Yes you can upgrade your GPU and it will still work. You are just unlikely to get the performance jump you are hoping for.

If you can, build it. It takes longer as you have to research parts more carefully, but it is worth it in the end. Every part should be covered by their individual warranty, which is a bigger hassle. But covered none the less. A System based around a highend i5 or one of the lower i7s with a Nvidia 770(or above) or AMD 7850 (or above) Graphics Card and 8-16 gigs of RAM, should cover your needs for the next few years (2-3~ before a graphics card upgrade would be in order) Pro-tip: The difference between a Core iX 4000series(Haswell) and 3000series(Ivy bridge) is not worth caring about. Get which ever is around and/or on offer. Haswell mostly brings improvements for the Laptop/tablet market. While technically better, not worth the price jump. Pro-tip 2: get a proper PSU (That doesn't mean high wattages, necessarily) and a good motherboard. To way oversimplify it, this is your Heart (PSU) and your circulation (motherboard). Your Motherboard furthermore serves as your base if you ever have to upgrade or overclock. Theses parts need to be allright. You don't need to go highend, BUT DO NOT SKIMP HERE! Pro-tip 3: and a good size Case, which is lovely while building/tweaking/bughunting. Pro-tip 4: It is perfectly fine to buy a pre assembled computer, just verify the parts and make sure they are decent.

Use vehicle channel (unsure if it requires actually being in a vehicle)

don't worry, if you just go to www.battleye.com/we-actually-love-script-kiddies/ I am 100% sure, you can get unbanned, if you take your case up there. On the bright side, you might alittle bit smarter with the dayz standalone.

Try to filter for "whitelisted" or something like that, most of them will tell you how to get whitelisted in the MOTD or even in the server name (like giving their TS IP, so you can ask permission...etc etc and whatnots)

Yeah.....unlikely, possible but unlikely. Try your luck with Battleye (This is the wrong forum to question your global ban). Next time, don't download "DayZ performance boosts" and/or scripts. And for the love of God, don't let your Little Sister use your computer for gaming.

after reinstalling, make sure to run it. It will always fail to verify 1 file in steam. Have you remembered to enable the "overwrite steam files, so blah blah blah" in DayZcommanders settings?

hummm, you are about 4-5 months late to the forum But rest assured, you are not saying anything that hasn't been said 845 times already. And weapon deterioration has already been announced to part of the standalone. No clue what the loot tables will be like tho.

Too bad you are on a noob server with mousewheel rangefinders...otherwise your kill count could actually have been impressive.. Taking no skill sniper shots? Meh..... Actually, "Meh" is too strong a word.. On the plus side, I am glad you are taking care of your psychopathic tendency in a safe and responsible manner.

+3 kudos points for R4Z0R49 +1 for everyone else who helped. Have some beans too

It is all about breaking Line of Sight and not making too much noise if they are still close... The balls of steel style is to run through some bushes and lie down flat (where you have 0 Visibility/noise bars)
