First post on the forum? Sure, I'll be right there. Meet me in the big red metal barn.

That's a pretty old version you're looking for. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a server running it and if you do, I'm willing to bet it's full of scripters with battleye disabled. 1.7.6.1 was decent. Before the super infectious z's and loot spawn changes. I know I saw a couple of them on commander yesterday when I was looking for vanilla dayz servers.

I voted Epoch but I'm a tad biased. So, I'd like to write-in my vote to state "Any map/mod that I'm not currently running on my server is the best one to pick." :thumbsup:

If the link Steak provided looks like too much hassle, you could always add extra loot spawning buildings to the map. Not quite the same outcome, but still more loot chance than the standard map.

Have you checked the audio settings in game to make sure your mic isn't muted? Did you change any key bindings for the game? Did you check to make sure caps lock is your push to talk key? Have you tried changing it? Were you in the right channel when you tried your mic?

That's the Arma version #. You need to update arma at the top of commader's update window. Tavi has been at v2.0 for a long while now.

If you like games to look good, get the full collection. I couldn't go back to low res textures at this point. There's a pretty big difference. My buddy gets annoyed when I wear camo because he doesn't have the addons and the skin looks washed out and faded to him. :D

Hide the body. Good tip for everyday life as well. ;)

Actually, that's a pretty damn good fps for your system running DayZ.

Any word on updates for Sahrani and Epoch?

Aiming usually helps. The gunners stand up out the top. I don't see the issue.

If you're itching to play DayZ, I say go for it. Arma 2 and Operation arrowhead are great games to begin with and have a ton of mods available. Add on Dayz with a ton of different maps/mods as well and you're getting a helluva deal for the cost.

*Player KoS was killed by Kharma from an elevation of 4 meters with weapon Gravity.

While I'll agree this can be an issue, it would affect everyone that joins that server to some extent. Playing arma offline or joining a different Dayz server would correct the problem. I vote for hardware or software issue. I've experienced stuttering, jerky moments on and off constantly when I OC'd my processor beyond my cooling abilities. A friend had the same issues with an old 9800GT card that was overheating. Another friend of ours had very similar issues due to something running in the background causing his bandwith to max out for a second at a time at certain intervals and yet another had a serious memory leak going on in windows that caused major stuttering. Afterburner monitors temps I believe. I use software specifically made for the hardware I have. Small mission file? Any public hive dayz server will do.

please make explain for me what is sahrani? My favorite map. Try it out. Great bandit potential.

I don't know if this is exactly the right answer but here's what I did, I copied all the battleye files from "battleye old" into the battleye folder and modified the scripts.txt file as needed for the scripts I added. I then made sure that scripts.txt was the same in both folders and I haven't had any issues. Also, street lights can be a killer depending on your server. I tried them on Tavi and it was pretty bad when they were active. Looks cool as hell though.

You do realise that all this would do is make people blow up cars they couldn't just get in a drive away right? DayZ Epoch is living proof of this scenario.

Fair enough! Another question; probably more Epoch-orientated, but if I was to pack a backpack full of beans and then stick it in the back of a car, would that take up 1 backback slot or 1 backpack slot plus the amount of items inside the backpack..? It just takes up the backpack slot. Don't leave it in there over a restart or it will become an empty pack.

This would be a good start. http://opendayz.net/#dayz-arma-scripting-editing.14

Welcome to DayZ.

If there are no other servers like it, it's because they removed the things that bogged the server down. Too vehicles, buildings and scripts can hurt a servers performance pretty easily.

Never stay still, keep moving. Be more aware of your surroundings. Practice playing alone. Get off the coast asap. I do better on my own. I die due to others screw up and trying to save them.

There is something sleazy about taking a mod, taking the contributions of so many others, claiming it as your own, then restricting access and placing trademarks and copyright on this derivative mod. Anyhoo. I still enjoy origins for the house building aspect alone. If only another mod would introduce even one single small building or lockable cache that can't be fucked with and run over with a car, I'd be all over it. Hopefully this is coming in Aftermath. Hopefully I'm not false-banned when I log in tonight. Try out Epoch. You can get lockable safes that can't be destroyed and can be placed in buildings.

Have you tried Sahrani? That's been the smoothest running map for me so far.

This is very good news. :thumbsup:
