Depends on your interpretation. I'll change server if the population goes way down as it does on EU servers late at night (Especially the 3PP:OFF ones) but I also don't play exclusively on any one server. Now if your definition is that where you jump on a server, loot an area, then move to another server to do the same, so on and so on then no I don't do that either. I'm guessing that you are meaning the latter so my answer is no but I would've changed the Title to - Do you Server Hop to Loot Farm - or something like that.

Radio maybe, Laptop no. Also I don't see how you can put a hit on someone when the point is you don't have the first clue as to who killed you. There are no name tags or identifiers. We are all faceless in this wasteland and unless you have a group you are dead and they are not. You can't report a crime from the grave buddy

I'm in the UK and have no issues seeing all the other servers. I know you have been told to raise your ping but have you tried setting the ping value in filter settings to '0'. This takes ping out of the equation and should show all servers as long as there are no other filters in. Beyond that I'm unsure as to what the issue could be.

Doesn't sound like desync, that sounds like you're running the wrong version. Have you updated to the latest patch? If you have then you may have to go verify your files.

If you have set all launch options and done .cfg file fix then the only other thing you can do is download software to 'unpark' your CPU. Just google it

All that does is minimize the side bar. They still play in the background, well for me anyway.

So much advice, so little knowledge <_< For one, looking at your specs they are certainly not be the best for Arma but regardless of what anyone says a mid range 7200rpm HDD is just fine but an SSD does wonders for not only gaming but general usage also. But you seem to have one already. Now your main Bottleneck is your CPU as arma is heavily dependant on it and here clock speed is king. Though looking at this you can't do anything to improve it. What you can do is go into your steam library, right click Operation Arrowhead, Properties. Set Launch Options. Copy and paste the below -nosplash -skipintro -nopause -cpuCount=2 -high -maxMem=2047 -maxVRAM=1024 What this has done by checking over your components is go some way to optimizing the parameters for your system. Now in your in game settings settings make sure that you set memory used to 'default' as that will allow the game to use the maximum ram which is hard coded to 2GB anyway. next you can go into the .cfg file in your documents, arma 2, ArmA2OA.cfg and set the values as shown below - GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; After that you can download software to unpark your CPU which you can find with a simple google search. From this you should see an improvement but I'm not confident that it's playable, certainly wouldn't be for me. Good luck

LMFAO :lol: Been there, done that. I now run AdBlock :P

As far as Firearms are concerned you have the following: FNX45 - .45 Pistol Ammunition - .45ACP Round Magazine Capacity - 15 rounds Attachments - FNP45 MRD (Pistol Mounted Red Dot Sight) - Magnum - Pistol .357 Ammunition - .357 Round Magazine Capacity - 6 rounds Attachments - Speedloader (though I have yet to find one) - Mosin 9130 - 7.62 Long Rifle Ammunition - 7.62mm Round Magazine Capacity - 5 rounds Attachments - PU Scope, Long Range Scope, M91 Bayonet, ATLAS Bipod - M4A1 - Assault Rifle Ammunition - 5.56 Round Magazine Capacity - 10Rnd CMAG, 20Rnd CMAG, 30Rnd CMAG, 40Rnd CMAG, 30Rnd STANAG, 30Rnd STANAG Coupled (60 rounds) Attachments - OE Buttstock, CQB Buttstock, MP Buttstock, Plastic Handguard, RIS Handguard, MP Handguard(green/black), M9A1 Bayonet, ATLAS Bipod, Suppressor 556, Carryhandle optics, BUIS (Backup Ironsight), T3N RDS (Red Dot Sight), M68 CompM2 (Red Dot Sight), ACOG Optics test, Weapon Flashlight (Requires RIS Handguard) Let's talk on the features on certain attachments. ATLAS Bipod - When deployed it improves accuracy when player is prone. Some suggest that if left deployed that it makes the weapon less accurate when standing or crouched. This does not appear to be the case in my experience M91 Bayonet - Can be used to open cans but merely cosmetic when attached to Mosin. M9A1 Bayonet - Can be used to open cans but merely cosmetic when attached to M4A1 M4 CQB Buttstock - Improves manoeuvrability of M4A1 but decreases accuracy above 50m M4 MP Buttstock - Decreases dispersion and Improves Long range accuracy M4 MP Handguard - Same as buttstock and benefits stack with both making the M4 pretty damn accurate. M4 RIS Handguard - Like the MP handguard the accuracy is improved but not to the same level as the MP handguard. Also allows attachment of weapon Flashlight Suppressor 556 - Although considered purely cosmetic this does in fact reduce distance at which zombies will react to gunfire. Remember that this is a suppressor and not a Silencer. In my opinion this actually works as it would IRL though they need to modify the sound file so it sounds accurate. Weapon Flashlight - Best flashlight for use at night as it illuminates the area better, more central to the view angle in comparison to head torch and your weapon is always ready (requires RIS Handguard)

The Mod will probably not die until after the final release of SA. If you are going to get Arma 2 for the mod then you should buy Combined Operations as you get all the DLC and high texture packs required for the Mod. You should also download DayZ Commander for simplicity when downloading and playing the variety of DayZ mods out there. A lot of them are fun and I still go back once in a while to change it up a bit.

Grrrrrrr, my post box glitched :blush:

Erm.. go back and read his first sentence. Also I don't get the mentality where someone automatically associates stats with E-Peen...... are you insecure with your own? :huh: Anyway some things could be fun and some things can be almost little challenges to keep you entertained whilst searching for the lesser seen can opener. Just make sure that K/D/R is left out because that there will drag it down to twitch shooter levels. Edit - OP beat me in the Reply race..... GG sir :D

Nice, wasn't there a mod that had a similar thing where the zeds would congregate around a corpse? Sure one of them did. Anyway this would fit in nicely with SA. Now Quick, close the thread before some CoD kiddy comes along herpa derping about how it'll break his game. :P

The dude who wrote the Detroit one Wins the Internet............ Have all the beanz for bringing this to my attention

What I find more amusing are the so called 'Hardcore' who think that in real events society would break down into a KoS mentality. Yes this is a game and it's very easy here. Shit I like it because I'm mainly against it depending on the situation and it gives me something to think about and keeps me on my toes. I reality though for the greater majority, put a gun in your hands and tell you to point it at the innocent unarmed person walking down the road and pull the trigger............ you'd be standing in a puddle of your own piss shaking so hard that you couldn't hit the target if your life depended on it. KoS is essential in game to keep it interesting and tense, but don't come on here all Rambo because until you're put in that situation or someone pisses you off that much your reach for a weapon, you don't have the first clue as to whether you have the balls for it.

Much of what he said about the effects on your mental health from taking a life are quite true. Basically PTSD. Although I like the idea as far as adding realism to the characters reactions I think this is something that shouldn't really be added because to 'keep it real' the same mechanic has to applied to seeing dead bodies, evading gunfire, just encountering zeds let alone taking them out. Really this could break the game and give those with the 1 in 25 chance a massive advantage. Also, what happens when it's not your chance and you have to kill someone to defend yourself..... are you still penalised? I love realism at its extremes but we have to also consider playability

Good to bad Fire Axe Wood splitting Axe Baseball Bat Shovel Crowbar M4 Bayonet (not sure if you can melee with the Mosin one?) Kitchen Knife Pipe Wrench Hammer Screwdriver Fists Also Bandits are not quite Aliens, more dwellers of the deep who come forth to make the game somewhat challenging ;)

Ensure Ping is set to '0'. Ensure there is nothing typed into Filter settings Ensure you have selected the 'Internet:' tab at the top of the server window Ensure that the game is Updated to latest version If all that is fine and it still doesn't work then you may have to go and verify your game files.

Easy, When searching for servers go to the 'Filter' button and change the Ping Value to '0'. that will show all servers

Chernarus+ is still a work in progress as can be seen by all the road networks up north. These things will be developed and added no doubt when Optimization is complete and the Mainland is finished. Plus you're going to have to wait for vehicles before you can access any of that anyways. so might aswell wait patiently for content and mainland expansion before worrying about Utes etc.

Well I was taught by a good friend of mine who is a master PC builder and even now with my knowledge I still have him come round and look for ways of optimizing it. It's not hard especially nowadays with easy access and use of BIOS settings on modern Motherboards. My advice is to visit a few large PC building forums and have a look at the guides and explanations there and ifd you have questions just register and ask away. You'll fine a VERY mature crowd and plenty of advice will flow. Yay, another underwater processor ;) I love a bit of water cooling me. Yeah you've got plenty of headroom for OC'ing with that. Well I hope by that you mean in Elektro, Cherno etc.... I'll run 60fps all day long on max settings out of the towns. But yes, short of having an extreme edition CPU on phase change cooling running 5.8GHz you're likely to see 35fps at best. I personally see a solid 25 on max settings but I've balanced my settings to get a pretty solid 30.

Don't get your hopes up though. The main thing that is going to hold you back is your CPU. Good as it is it will not utilize nearly as much performance as the CPU is capable of delivering (about 40-50%). Here clock speed means everything. Running on MAX settings (excluding running resolution at 200%) I predict you may see 25-30 fps whilst running around Elektro. Now if you were able to overclock to 4.5GHz (which i doubt you can do reliably as Haswell processors are very poor overclockers) then you should see a bit more. You will also only use a Maximum 2GB of the available VRam from your GPU's too and regardless of start up parameter settings this value is hard coded and cannot be exceeded. Get yourself some decent cooling and get that CPU up to 4 - 4.2GHz (about the best I've heard for stability) and you will see maximum benefit.

Yeah, nice thought but at the same time it only makes sense that a fresh stage brings a fresh start for everyone. It levels the playing field and gives you the opportunity to go forth and maybe discover something new and exciting that's been introduced with Beta, be it good or bad it still needs to be found. I'm all cool with global character wipes and I have a feeling one is just around the corner when they eventually get a handle on server hopping and the latest craze of character duping.

Learn to read guys FFS. His English isn't that bad. What he is saying is that there are 3 IDENTICAL bodies. Clothing, Gear, Ammunition etc. He is suggesting that Scripters may be spawning in geared Bots or something so that the scripter can kill said bot and take the gear off it. Now I have heard somewhere that there is a glitch/exploit that can be done to dupe your character somehow so it may not be Scripters and just someone exploiting a glitch. EDIT: iRaz beat me to it :blush:
