Rocket wants realism. How is any game realistic if you can die and 5 seconds later be looting your own dead body. And if you die for no reason then deal with it its still an alpha. Eventually you won't be able to use that excuse for dieing.

Ok guys don't turn this into a thread full of whining kids blaming each other. This is just an idea to add some realism. In real life you have consequences for doing dangerous things. Like if you die you die. There's no coming back. But obviously this is a game. If you could only play once then nobody would play right? But rocket is striving for the most realistic zombie game ever. So why not make it so if you die for any reason the main server starts a timer that won't let you play for say 24 hrs or hell even a week. That way people will think twice before doing something that they would normally do in a regular game when they can just respawn if they die. Its not.like people can get pissed, they didn't pay for the mod did they. Let me know what you guys think I think its a great idea.

+1 on the flies I hearm alot too. If you go inland its not as bad. I think its a glitch where the dead bodies respawn but the flies sound remains.

The amount of updates is awesome. But could you possibly just a like a 50 or 100 meter bubble around players that prevents zombies from spawning. I can see them spawn 300 meters away which is great that way when I come up to a town I can scout it out from a distance. But if I kill a bunch of zombies its incredibly unrealistic for them to spawn 20 meters away in x amount of time. Let them spawn a ways away that way when you cleared out an area and one stumbles upon you it feels more realistic. You can say to yourself damn I should've seen that zed coming. Not damn these spawn rates.

Will that work if you launch through the 6 launcher instead of steam

I don't see how the zombie spawning around players can be this difficult. Why can't rocket just make it so that zombies don't spawn in say a 50 or 100 meter radius of a player, ever. No time limits for a zombie to respawn. I see zombies spawn way out in front front of me like it should be. Then if I killm in that area they shouldn't just randomly appear after so long, its unrealistic. They should spawn a ways a away from me and if they happen to mosey on over my way then I'll deal with it as the situation arises.

I feel completely retarded right now but where do you add the -winxp

Well I finally found a server that would get me 20-30 fps but every few minutes I'd get a lag spike from hell. Also had a zombie get attracted to me while I was crouched bout a 100 meters away so that was awesome.

It being mainly a server problem makes sense. I only tried two different servers last night. I'll have to try some others and see which ones work.

I havent played for a few weeks and i was getting around 20-40 fps in dayz. Then I decided to see how the new changes were and get back up to date. So i install the latest patch and install 6 launcher to update dayz. Now i get 5-15 fps and random 2-5 second freezes every few minutes. I know my computer isn't the best anymore but I dont understand why it would change so drastically.
