  1. Making any decent progress in-game has been severely curtailed with this unfortunate side effect (overly enthusiastic Zombie spawns and greater survivor *detection radius*) brought about by the changes that were applied in the last Alpha release. I'm doing my best to stay alive but it is proving to be a fruitless task. I am waiting, as I am sure are many others as to what will bring the next Alpha installment. Thank you. *seems to me that the blinking Zed's are picking up my trail from a much greater distance compared to previous versions, I may be wrong but I don't think so.* Once again, thank you.

    Darwin List: Banned Users

    Haven't you seen the stories about people getting killed out of no where, or getting teleported into the ocean, or 10 KM up high in the sky? Or the buildings that appear out of nowhere, with weapon crates nearby which contain any weapon you can think of? Or the teleporting machinegun wielding zombies (cheaters with face skin)? Cheaters with face skins are face skins cheats ? I met one today !

    [GUIDE] Configuration Tweaking

    You can find it in the "readme" file that comes with the beta. I personally use Alpinestars ArmAII launcher, very easy to use. It allows you to mix and load different mods as you wish. You can find it over at ArmaHolic.

    [GUIDE] Configuration Tweaking

    "N°3 Video memory - Default Set that sucker to default, Very High = 512MB default will detect if you've got higher." Your advice is generally correct. I've been having some graphic "gliches" since Vs1.5.6 that concerns only DayZ, vanila ArmAII works fine. Some say that you must restart the game and /or use the "flush" command. I can actually fix it in game by switching between default, high or even normal video memory. I'm going to play around in ArmA to see if it has anything to do with the forced view distance/ fog implemented. This is with 1.6 and the latest ArmA beta build. Nvidea gtx460 1 giga. I hope you don't mind me posting here but I thought it may help some people. Thanks.

    The PvP Discussion Thread

    Love it. Meeting people in isolated villages, clearing the zone together, sharing stuff and then going seperate ways as night falls... I dont know of any other game that can generate anything near that complicite between "actors". Tonight I really wanted to light a fire in the woods, eat some beanz and drink,,, before turning of my computer. Unfortunatly it was raining and my matches were damp. Good game.
  12. I believe the fog/draw distance in daytime is good for game-play but and there is always a but, I've not seen the stars since the change was implemented. How can I find my directions if I can not see the stars. OK, I was in the Scouts and most night times I can see the Moooon, in game. Even with a compass and map + watch, I want "stary stary nights. Thanks.

    DayZ Stories

    This happened to me last night on the EU9 =BoB= server. I've pasted from another Game Forum that I visit more than I should, anyhow here goes... Last night I found myself with no ammo, so the only thing left to do was run, run, and run some more. I was up in the hills on my own North of Elektraoski or whatever its called. By the time I reached the town I had about 10 Zombies after me. I headed East to the other large town Chernogorsk picking up Zed's along the way, I passed through a village where some poor bugger had lit a flare to see what he was doing, he saw me coming and fired off a few shots thinking to help me when it dawned on him that it was probably not a good thing to do, he legged it... I continued on my route with about 20 odd Z's hot on my tail, by the time I reached Chernogorsk, I must of had, "I don't know how many" Zombies after my blood. A couple of turns around the industrial area, (by this time I was very thirsty and needed to eat) but it was impossible to stop for a snack, so I climbed up one of the chimney stacks, in the hope that I would have time to eat and drink and get on the chat to ask for help. No way Hosay, they all climbed up and ate me alive. Defiantly one of the funniest game moments I've ever experienced. Truth... EDIT: I rejoined the same server just after posting in this thread and my character was alive at the bottom/near the chimney. Everything was the same = no ammo and my gear was still there... go figure. Thanks.

    Tents & Vehicles General

    I've yet to find a tent, I've got a knife, matches, map, compass, beans & coke (a cola) and all. I'm led to belive that they are found in the "out houses". Guess I'll keep on seaching, until then I supose I will sleep under the stars. Thanks.

    Rocket has gone too far

    "I lone wolf through the countryside for hours on end, and it's so totally worth it when you find that one other person out there being chased by zombies and then you shoot his leg out and he gets eaten. " Ooh, you are such a meany. I try to save/help them, 9 times out of ten I regret doing so. lol.

    Big list of tips. Share yours.

    Are you sure about the flares in N°22 ? I've tried a few times (daylight) to no effect. Smoke grenades work every time. Correct me if I'm "incorrect" !

    Dead Body

    Well I'm not sure about that. I was killed by another player (he attacked me) in the fire fight I put about five shots into him, so I assume he died. I respawned and made it back to the area, the dead Zombies were still there in the same place where they fell, my attackers body was there as well, my body was not. I would be interested to know how it works for sure. That was back in Vs 1.3, I think.

    Load times

    Thank you Rocket for explaing the why's & for's. I have not seen anything like this "success" before. The only mod that comes to mind is RO back in 20?? I've made a quick fix, get up early in the morning and play 'French Time". I doubt that this "fix"will last for long, all my interwebz mates are joining the wave. Good luck to you cobber. If I may be so familiar. Thanks.
  21. The server was running correctly Friday night. When I joined the server yesterday afternoon (Saturday) it was already out of sync, showing a time of 21.40 . Also it seemed to me that the leaderboards were reporting players that were not correct, (it felt like it was stuck at the point where the server went awol). Also the Zombie count was stuck at 109.

    How many vets?

    Yes & Yes Also I have a 120mhz active3D screen but I have not given that a go for the moment. I tend to use it only for single player, not mp.

    Zero zombies, no loot respawns

    Well the FR1 server was stuck at 11.00pm/night time when I tried to play this afternoon, also the Zombie count was stuck at 109, I was in-game but nothing was working as it should. I connected twice. I then joined another server, DE3 I think and that was working well. So, not a Master Server problem but local server specific I believe.
