    M4 potency/accuracy

    The designer got it wrong then as it's killed a metric fucktonne of humans since the mid 1960s.

    Worst game of soccer. Ever.

    Could have been worse... An England World Cup qualifying match for example.

    M4 potency/accuracy

    The dispersion model for the M4 in this game is seven sorts of broken. It would be bad for an AK that was last maintained when Putin was a boy...

    Map needs more personality

    There's a civilian Mi-8 near the beached freighter that you can crawl inside.

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    Overcl Overclocking your CPU will help, but that should run Medium to High settings at a very playable framerate. I don't think Xfire or SLI are supported yet, so expect one GPU to be near idle and the other at 100%.

    Why is der a F****** hide body function!?!?!

    If that shallow grave became a persistent container that anyone could open/close with a shovel until server restart, that would be very neat.

    How Big Is The Day Z Developer Team?

    Exactly. There is nothing that screws up a development project as surely as throwing people and money at it without planning where these are needed.

    Oculus Rift and DayZ

    The Rift is a great technology demonstrator and I'm sure they'll figure how to get the kinks out of it. Getting it to an immersive resolution which doesn't make you chunder for under $500 is going to be some challenge.

    Why is der a F****** hide body function!?!?!

    This. Drag the body into the bushes and loot it. THEN bury/hide it if you have a shovel.

    Lets Talk Camo

    Yep, strips of any material that's going to make you blend into the background or break up your silhouette.

    Hey...I see you....put your hands up.....

    Never surrender.

    The Ruger MKII Is Coming, But Whats It Like?

    Especially that US SoF have something better for dealing with sentries this millennium.

    [POLL] Do you regret buying the SA?

    Not regretted it in the slightest.

    SKS Attachments

    Hush, or you'll start them off again... ;)

    Who wants Tea and Coffee added to DayZ

    Can we have a Zombucks in every town please? Spiced Beans Latte might be real popular...
  16. Unfortunately, cities in RV Engine games cause very high CPU loading which isn't shared very well across physical cores and the engine doesn't make use of logical/HT cores. All of which favours the unlocked i5 and i7 CPUs at the moment.

    Post your PC specs, in game settings and FPS here

    Are talking about ArmA 3 of BF4, because Very High is the top setting in my copy of the SA?

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    Cities will drag you down to the mid-30s like they do for everyone else, but you'll 40+ better everywhere else.

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    That'll play DayZ very nicely on High to Very High. Ramping up AA will still drag the frame rate down rapidly though. Expect 30-40 FPS in cities. Until someone plays DayZ on a Cray 2 or similar, no-one gets gets better than this with Details and Textures turned up at 1920 x 1080.

    Alpha To Coverage pixelated

    Had this with every RV Engine game using ATI/AMD cards. 4970, 6850, 7870, 7950 and lately R9 290. Tried every in-game and CCC option, but the grass looks like a trellis/waffle the instant ATOC is enabled.
  21. An excellent suggestion if you know where to get good secondhand parts without getting burned.

    Night- Heat Vision goggles/Scope

    The problem with Gen 1 NV is that it doesn't really work that well unless it's a cloudless night with a bright moon or you use an IR light source. And using an IR source where others have NV is suicide.
  23. ^ This. Wait until you have $1000 to spend and do plenty of research into what components people posting good performance stats here use. The added advantage of waiting a while is that we're due some performance optimisation in the game soon and this could reduce how much you need to spend to get a rig that will play the SA at a good frame rate with the graphics set at Medium or better.

    PC Requirements for SA

    I stand corrected. Thanks for posting that. I based my comments on my experience of tweaking SA graphics on a co-workers PC i5 2300 (stock clocks) and HD6850 (stock clocks) and didn't consider switching down from 1920 x 1080 as I've gamed at this resolution for so long.

    PC Requirements for SA

    Those Steam specs should be labelled as follows: Minimum Spec: PowerPoint slideshow Recommended Spec: Hope you like 15 FPS. In the woods.
