Trial and error, mate. Simply max all the settings out, then decrease them incrementally until you've got a an acceptable sustained FPS. Not sure what else we could do for ya? That card should be able to hand very high settings without issue. edit: just my $.02 (and not to be dick) but I would start with max settings on a default card clock speed before overclocking

It's all up and running now, after some work. -Official Hive -New York Based -Latest and greatest filters **Formerly ranked 46th in the world...will take some pretty serious work to get back there, I'm afraid.

If anyone cares, the server has been moved by the host to a new IP: 173.234.233.178:2352

To anyone who might care, the server has been "upgraded" via HFB and now lives on a new IP. As much of a pain this is--I guess moving forward it will be a good thing. New connection info: 173.234.233.178:2352

I do, and have owned many platforms. I'd generally disagree with the "grain of sand on the cartridge" instance you've listed; however, for all intents and purposes I think the amount of user-related malfunctions where Generic Survivor A finds an AR platform rifle, and improperly uses it, would likely be running rampant. How many times have you see someone hold the magazine whilst firing and not be able to figure out why their rifle doesn't cycle their $7 box of steel cased ammo? lol Suffice it to say that it's a good thing this is a video game, as the people that own and properly maintain their firearms wouldn't be enough to fill a server. Let the bambis frolic in the sun where ignore is bliss, and .45acp revolver speedclips magically turn into 1911 magazines.

One of my guys (Triton) hit the -1,000,000 mark and the monitor doesn't even display it. It gets pissed once you become the ultimate bandit. Personally, I'm a hero. Nothin to brag about here. Enjoy!

I would typically recommend my server, but it's in the middle of an upgrade--so...once it's back up (soon) join the info will be in my sig! Feel free to jump into our teamspeak as well, ts.mainepc.net Cheers

ts.mainepc.net is the teamspeak--be glad to have ya aboard!

In the rare event someone is passing by this thread--the server is offline for an "upgrade" at the moment. Stick with us, it will be up soon...albeit with a new IP and port. Can't say that I'm all too thrilled about that.

Feel free to come play with us, we've got an active group that plays together most nights of the week. It's generally a good time. Server info in my sig, teamspeak info scrolls on the MOTD when you connect. Cheers!

Feel free to join us, matey. We've got a good group that plays regularly--and we've got a teamspeak if you'd care to chat it up! Server info in my sig

Shamelessly self-promoting with a quick bump

This is a really cool way to build on the survival aspect of the game. There is a give and take on the "time" required to do these tasks, of course. Dehydrating, freezing, curing, etc. take a fair amount of time to do (properly) and I think opening the door to this world could be a proverbial can of worms. That's not to say this isn't a great idea, because I think there are survivalists out there who are nauseated by the "find a can of beans & eat it" side of the game. How else can we expand survival? What methods are actually proven to be effective? These suggestions are as good as gold. Things as simple as coming across a tree that yields fruit, or farm with some vegetables isn't unreasonable to consider. Why must everything come from a can? Catching rainwater from the gutter of a house during a rainstorm seems fairly reasonable. Not the most palatable drink, but in a post-apocalypse world, I think we'd all take the gamble on it. Hell, I would. Something that's (sorry to hijack, but it's on-topic) also been a hot button in society lately is "Doomsday Preppers". Are we to assume that no one in Chernarus (or what-have-you) had any food storage? No food stored in buckets with oxygen absorbers? The introduction of MRE's I found to be a much-needed addition, and could be expanded upon with MRE heaters, cases of MRE's, and potable water purification tablets. I think small amounts of items along these lines could provide a little more "surival oriented" gameplay if that is the intended direction. Just my $.02

Hey, man--we've got a small tight-knit group of players that tends to meet most nights of the week. The server (in my sig) does plenty of traffic--so there's always people to play with. Check out the recruitment thread if you'd like, or join the teamspeak (ts.mainepc.net) and chat us up. We're taking new members that seem to fit with with the group. Cheers

Feel free to check us out, Sir. We've got a (fairly) high ranked server that generates plenty of traffic, it's New York based, and we have a teamspeak setup (ts.mainepc.net). I've got a recruitment thread running, if you care. If not, best of luck to ya! Cheers

Sad but true. Happens all too often. Some servers are better than others about keeping filters updated and having active admins, but the fact remains that the script kiddies often have as much (or more) control over the server than the Admins. Keep your head up, don't get too attached to any loot, and enjoy the game for it's concept and the people you meet! Cheers

Some GSP's will send an email warning "you have X amount of days to pay before shutdown". Some will simply terminate your server upon the due-date of the invoice if it is not paid. Pretty simple. If you don't feel like cancelling, you can just let the subscription run out.

If you're on a private hive server, your character data will remain local to that server. -Private hive weapons/gear/humanity stays on THAT SERVER and doesn't follow you -Official hive data will be available on ANY OFFICIAL hive server (meaning you can log out of one [official hive] and log into another in the same location with all your gear). Cheers

Yes you can. Cheers

Private hive. Not much going to come out of this, I recommend finding a new one to play on. Sorry for your bad experience!

I agree, the dog aspect is very cool. I *do* care, however, to keep cheaters off the server when possible ;)

Also, using your RPT file you should be able to make note of them respawning. Cheers

Our server is pretty friendly, but I can't say as you wont be shot on sight. There's bandits everywhere, your best bet is to team up!

We do not have dogs on the server, sorry to disappoint! Was someone being cheeky.

We usually have a full server, and our guys are grouped up most nights. Could be the "team" environment you're looking for. Info in my sig, and we have a teamspeak as well--if you guys end up sticking around I would gladly set up a private channel in teamspeak for ya that you guys can moderate on your own. Cheers
