From what I remember the big issue with those cards is. #1 The hardware compression to H264 is not nearly as good as software (X264) compression. #2 You can't use said hardware compression and capture at the same time in Xsplit unless somthing has changed from back then. That aside it looks like a good external capture solution and I liked their PCi express card's quality. Also keep in mind. If you have a good Quad Core PC. The software compression using Open Broadcast or Xsplit or whatever isn't that bad if you are streaming. What has me considering purchasing this is the portable recording. That could be VERY handy if one is not wanting to set up all the software recording and all that. (Note it requires a class 10 SD card tho which is less common than the kind used in cameras and Nintendo Wii consoles. )

Make it interesting to start. If people are going to watch ads to get to your videos there has to be a reason why. Frankie may have scripts or whatever. However his videos are just plain fun to watch. If I want to watch people play DayZ. I would just use Twitch.TV anyway. Also keep on the lookout for stuff that is public domain or creative commons that you can use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons_licenses just make sure that you check to see that it is one that is without the No commercial or NC tag as you obviously intend to make money. One I am looking forward to using myself in the future is this awesome animated DayZ logo that is cc http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/90601-1080p-animated-dayz-logo-free-for-use-on-youtube-etc/

Raccoon City

Check again after SA

What an utterly uneducated post in my opinion. Why bother to post here if you think you won't like SA?

I use it due to the limitations of the engine and because I do not have trackIR. Often it is a necessity inside buildings. It needs to stay. Atleast until there is plenty of development time to work on the many issues not using it involves.

Guys remember that in development there are many branches of a game in development. Just because they are working on something does not mean it has to make it to early public versions. It was already stated that closed testing involves just a few weapons and features for framework testing. They are going to be developing the game throughout 2013. The first public version will come FAR sooner. My guess is March or April.

VAC will be far more effective in my opinion. Valve made it when hackers were literally at the point of tearing down sales of the game and HL1 to play Counterstrike and Team Fortress. (Sound familiar to the falling Arma II sales?) They had a DAMN good reason to invest serious resources over the years into making it the king of anti-cheat it is today. There will never be 100 percent. It does not have to be to be the best.

Minecraft model was when they were simply making a basic game of DayZ that removed the need to have the mod for Arma II. From the dev blogs and interview. That is obviously not the case anymore. Not to mention a buggy version will get DayZ torn apart in the media. WarZ ruined ANY chance of a public "Play this buggy stuff and tell me what needs fixin first" What we will play will be low feature and low bug instead of high feature high bug the closed test team will get to mess with. That is the reality of things and whining about it won't help.

You have no idea how the ARMA II engine works in my opinion.

Awesome info there! Thanks for putting it into a post for us!

I don't know if it will fit well if there were icons showing where your groupmembers are. But armbands and other clothing aspects that can identify your group are badly needed in my opinion.

Have you considered this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100100 AVerMedia Live Gamer HD That is newegg US but perhaps you can find a retailer where you live?

Those games are not in the same situation as DayZ in the least. Is there any MMO with any kind of real modding? (Not WoW UI Mods) Is there any kind of FPS under a similar situation as DayZ? Games and Game engines that allow modding are not like DayZ. Hacking in CS:GO is stupid and gets one VAC banned for instance. They can ruin a round or two but in DayZ a hacker can screw up hours or days or even weeks worth of work.

This. Right now it is kind of unfortunate because by luck all these zombie games are currently in their internal development stages. (Except for Dead Linger which no offense to them is too early in alpha to spend any kind of time playing in) Yet by April/May it is going to be crazy with DayZ and Project Zomboid getting new public alphas perhaps as close as a month from the other. It all changes by late 2013 tho. In my opinion. We have all these Kickstarter and other projects launching their works. There will be so much to do we might forget that DayZ will still be getting alphas and betas out.
