anyone?

I've changed my FOV, but since it affects how you look through a scope I want my FOV back to the default settings for a 1280x1024 monitor. I've found the config file, now I'm just wondering if this is correct: thnx

made a mistake in my GUID, finally found it. it must be b7f8f1b0f50fcb9dafdf4d952bf18498

Yeah the forum is quite big, and the amount of hits you get on a search query that are not related to what you're looking for is also insane. But I know now. Thank you for explaining. I didn't know that. I'm really looking forward to exploring the whole story in SA :)

Yeah I heard about that backstory in SA, would be cool. Since you clearly state it isn't possible due to the backstory, I've gotten quite curious what that backstory is so far? As you state in a later post that no-one really knows how Chernarrus got infected except Rocket and his brother, isn't it a bit premature for such statements?

Wouldn't it be logical that in a zombie apocalypse, when you get killed by a zombie that you get infected? Your corpse would then rise again and starts roaming around. The infected corpse could drop what they are holding in their hands at that time (hatchet, rifle or handgun) because of course Z's are quite stupid, but still keep the rest of the gear on them (backpack, tools etc). Perhaps when you get hit by a Z there could be a chance you get infected while alive and you'd slowly start twitching and have increasing time intervals of uncontrolled Zombie-like behaviour? Perhaps in it's early stages it would be curable with an epi-pen. I'm just thinking out loud here, what do you guys think?

Hi all, I first played DayZ on a 8800GT and now I've upgraded tot the GTX560 Ti. Needless to say, on my previous graphics card the game was barely playable. I wonder if anyone can help me find the optimal video settings for my graphics card. To be honest don't have the idea that the video performance improved even half the rate it should have. Could I be doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well duhh... Everyone with a reasonable knowledge of the English language could tell you that 'disappear' and 'be removed' both have different meanings. Hence why I find it odd that you would spend the time to respond to me. And if this was your true meaning, why in such a condescending way? Maybe you're just rude - who knows? Only me...

There are other ways in which they van disappear: Exploding vehicle, flattened tent, backpack without enough space and finally death in combination with server restart before body is looted.

I'm sad to see it go. Some might see the gun as an unfair advantage. I don't. Just like NVgogs everyone has the ability to find them. They are just rare. Being able to keep it though sounds as a particular unfair advantage. The only possibility of getting it now is to kill someone that has it and thus has an advantage over you. ( Assuming the people having it are smart enough not to die in another way) Taking the gun away doesn't sound fair either. I think ppl should get a replacement for the gun. If possible an item of their own choice. My vote though would be to bring it back.

Had a building explode when a friend threw a smoke grenade. Wasn't hackers because we were te only ones on the server.

@OP: Well you are clearly looking for a game in which your actions have no consequences. This is not that game.

Well if you don't intend to have fun I think you might be playing this game for the wrong reason. And about the loaded gun, I'll just quote myself on that:

Accidents happen, but if it wasn't an accident I don't feel bad. In my first day in DayZ I met a player driving a bus and he gave me a lift. I had a shotgun and he was unarmed. He tried to convince me that since I was new to the game and I had never fired a gun before it would be wiser to hand him the gun. At first I refused, but when I saw that he was a bandit (I had just read about them) then I said: "ok... you can have my gun." We got out of the bus and I shot him in the head. That was the exact moment I was hooked. I just know it would have been me in stead of him if I had given him my gun. Yeah I could have walked away, but this was very exciting, desciding wether to kill him or not. Asking myself if he would suspect something? What if I missed? The best part was that after I shot him he didn't have the option to start whining about it. Thats one of the things that really annoys the hell out of me in other games like call of duty. I just knew he was freaking out behind his pc because his elaborate plan to kill me had just backfired and it had cost him his life, and his bus :) Don't get me wrong, I'm a pretty nice guy (hero) in game, but when it comes to bandits I shoot on sight. And I don't feel the least bit bad about it.

Well I think this game (and every other game) is about having fun. I don't see the fun in having to crawl to the nearest zombie. That zombie might be in the closest village, and you might not have any idea where that is... And people that are going to do that will kill themselves anyway. Why make it hard? Yeah it's taking the easy way out. But thats what ppl that commit suicide do isn't it? I think it only adds to the realism. a custom death message like: 'PlayerName committed suicide' would be cool I'd say. Then everybody in the server would know someone has pussied out like a baus. You could even add a humanity penalty.
