yeah, where's global chat? let's have some with that enabled just like in the mod.

first release still planned this year?

from the editor, not dayz, but it's dogs! :D

there's a small forested hill less than 500m north of vybor, i like to set up camp there.

There are backpacks in vanilla Arma2, fyi.

Yeah, that's the name of the engine, so what?

Ok, I found this post on the BIS forum http://forums.bistud...ncement!/page80 From what has been described by Dean so far, DayZ will not be using ArmA 3's engine. Rather it will be using ArmA 2's with some improvements (Ragdoll, lighting etc). But it won't be the full-bull ArmA 3 engine (DX11 etc). AFAIK. I'm looking forward to any news on the alpha from Gamescom. Surely it's not too far off.... answer by BIS guy Vespa: This is pretty accurate. Simultaneously developing the engine and two different projects at the same time would be insane. So no DX11 for stand alone.

Matt says Arma2 engine, he calls it 2.5. I bet that means no dx11 lightning, no physx.

I'm a bit confused, I thought I read standalone will run on Arma3 engine. Watching this interview with Matt Lightfoot, he's saying it'll run on the Arma2 engne. Bah, that sucks. :(

I'm using g keys on g15 v2 keyboard to autorun too. Works like a charm. If you don't have such a keyboard, you can also use an analogue axis. I've mapped forward in arma2 controls to the slider on my x52 pro throttle. the advantage to using an analogue axis is you can select speed, plus your character will keep running even if you alt tab to desktop. g keys on keyboard stop running when you alt tab.

Let's get rid of starting backpack in the next patch. It will make it more interesting when you find your first backpack. Come on, Rocket. :)

Still tons of gfx artifacts, I think near Balota.

i'll buy only if you increase the view distance in the standalone. :)

Happy Dayz B)

Awesome news, go BIS and Rocket! Can't wait to hear if Arma2 or Arma3 engine will be used. I'll be disappointed if Arma2 engine, we want new and better pretty graphics!

fyi, lotc servers have sidechat, so does de21. i'm surprised there still aren't more with it enabled. clearly a lot of people are requesting it.

I have a fracture but the respawn button is still greyed out. Also my character who died yesterday is alive today with the gear I had just before I died.

I got a lot of artifacts with this new build.

I'd love to see some static defenses!

Yes, there's too much ammo, and too much food lying around.

i probably got most attached to my mountain dew :D too bad a hacker killed me by teleporting me.

How about turning alt-f4'ers bright pink?

what do you guys think about removing shift-left click map markers? i say yes.

we could say that you would need to have pen and paper to be able to write, that would limit the amount of people writing notes.

please dayz crew, give us a hand here. i'm unable to play dayz because i'm stuck in the infinite hourglass. player id 640641.
