So I was playing DayZ Overpoch after a long break and I saw something extremely weird. The shadows had a really low rendering distance and the textures/models only loaded properly when my camera was almost glitching inside them. I took some screenshots so you guys can see it. These are from my character. The second ones shows how, even if my camera is really close to my character, it still doesn't load properly. I'm not even going to mention the ground. This one also shows how no matter how close I am to the object, its textures will not load. My settings and proof that I do actually have ARMA II and ARMA II OA.

I understand, but this also happened some time ago while playing the vanilla DayZ Mod. It fixed itself somehow but now it's not going away. If this is an issue in my end or this has little to do with you guys, I'll do as you said and go on their forums.

Yes, in the server list, there are different hives.

So today I'm going to talk about somehting that... Always bugged me on DayZ. FPS Drops. Yeah, no one, I mean NO ONE, can get good constant FPS in cities/fields, even with a 780 it's impossible to get good graphics WITH good FPS, at least in cities. I always had this FPS issue because I have a Medium End PC, but if I'm patient and I do some config changes and stuff to improve my frames, I can play it with pretty good FPS. And it works in most games, but it seems like that in the past few updates, not even changing launch pre-sets and other shit works. I can boost this bad boy up to 1080p, 100% Render Resolution, Post Process on Medium (MAYBE Ambient Occlusion), shadows and all of that shit and get good FPS on fields/forests, going up to 40 FPS! But... Then I enter a city... I lose about 90% of the Frames that I get in forests/fields. I go from 35~40FPS to, literally, 5~10FPS with CONSTANT freezes and almost crashes. Is anyone having this almost game breaking issue or is it just me? I can walk around a city, look at it from a distance that it only drops about 5 FPS, but when I ENTER the city, shit hits the fan and I end up dying because I get hit by zombies while my character stops moving. This will get fixed soon, I'm sure of it, but for now I want to know if I'm not alone!

As I said, it has been REALLY bad in the past 2 updates. I play DayZ since 2012 and honestly, I know what is city lag, and this is WAY worst, it's really weird. They will make it so it's not THAT bad, even with the "New" Engine that's coming up. But for now, as I said again, I want to know if I'm not completely alone!

There are private hives now. That means that, basically, servers with private hives will save your gears ONLY on them. So that will stop most Server Hopers and force them to stay in one server.

There was a Overheating thingy at release where you couldn't run for too long, but it was removed due to... honestly, it's annoying. In a game like DayZ, running is something we have to do. It takes so long to do stuff with full sprint, imagine having a limit. But they are going to add Cold, Wet and Hot status which would be cool, but I'm hoping they don't do it so you have a limit for how long you can run...

The only one that I find kind of... "off" is the thirst one, to be honest. Because if the sound comes up and the person is running, they wouldn't notice it. Maybe work on the idea a bit more. Now, the rest, I think that it'd be cool. Although we should still have the little bars in the inventory so if someone can't hear sounds for some reason, maybe the game is bugged or they don't have a good headset, they know if they are hungry, thirsty, bleeding, etc.

*Sigh* I guess... I don't know if adding the MK 18 (Or the actual M14 EBR) would be a good idea. Remember, Chernarus does not have a military force like America or other countries do. I think that adding military-grade weapons like the M14 EBR or others would not be a good thing, because Arma III is REALLY military based. Maybe we could add the Mateba, but I think we should stay with these weapons and get rid of the military guns that, in my opinion, make this game unrealistic. I'd stick with the mosin, the AK and the SKS to be honest.

There's a tiny problem with that. ARMA III is placed in 2025 (I think), so its weapons have kind of a futuristic theme, those military-futuristic-thingy weapons would NOT fit in DayZ. Also, ARMA III has a different model... Skeleton, so vests would not work on DayZ's character models.

As I said, they are aware of that issue and many others. Also, this seems to be a problem that only a few people are having since many others (Including me) do not have the same issue. Now, the devs are working on many other things. I am not hating on the OP, I just said that, yes, the devs are aware and that he should not play Experimental as he would play the normal Stable, as he will lose his stuff and possibly get mad, as I did many times. ;)

You're playing on experimental, you should be expecting that. And yes, they are aware of that and other MANY issues. Experimental is used as a testing ground, I don't recommend you to play it as you'd play Stable. You will lose your stuff if you do.

It really doesn't matter. You could be just butthurt and trying to get someone that killed you banned. But even if it was true, no one can do anything. It's really useless to do a topic like this... And as I said... nomnomnomnomnom

I don't think that Time would be good... Because the reason your character stays in game for 30 seconds is to prevent combat logging, no matter what. If you are not combat logging, then hide in a tree or something. If you are able to do stuff while logging out, it would be... Unfair... Because let's say... There's a firefight... and one of the players is a combat logging bitch (Yes, I hate combat loggers that much) and the other one is just trying to play the game. if they start the firefight and the Combat logger... logs, the only one who wins this cenario is the Combat logger, because he'll be able to kill the legit player if he comes near or he'll log out anyway. So the legit player will probably lose his items to the combat logger.

Is this what your game sounds like right now or you just edited on a Video Editing Software? Because if it is in-game... GIBE SAUND EFECTS PLS. PS: Amazing work, by the way.

Yes yes, the zombies are bad. But as the Staff Members said more than once: The zombies, at the moment, are place holders. They are just there... to be there. They are not even close to being finished at all.

I don't think this is the way to do it.

/inb4 yard?

Hello. I really liked this... The only thing I'd like to add is: Do something more dramatic with the intro/outro. Take Frankie for an example, his intro is pretty dramatic and he only uses dramatic, sad or heroic music. That creates a cool atmosphere. Well... I'm pretty bitchy about these things, but this is really good. :D

I assume you're going to make this question: "If I buy the Alpha now, will I have the full game?" The answer is: "Yes." If you buy the Standalone now you will have instant access to the full game when it releases, I don't know if it will be like Alpha --(Updates)--> Beta --(Updates)--> Full Release, or you'll have to download it again, but I do think they will get to Beta and then Full Release through Updates only. Welcome to the Forums!

It's funny... in the "American" Football they rarely use their feet, they hold the ball and throw it... With their hands. And in "Soccer", you can ONLY use your feet. English, y u so confusing?

So, for some reason, my game keeps lowering it's quality, like it was constantly lowering and raising the 3D resolution. I tried everything, but not only it makes the game look bad, but it doesn't change the FPS either. I want to know if that's a feature or if there is some way of stoping this, it makes looking things from far away very difficult because the quality keeps getting low. Any ideas? EDIT: After the most recent update, I am able to play this game on very high and still get 40FPS, so I don't know why it lowers the quality.

Just a quick idea that I had after I had a bad experience. I think that we should have at least a 5 second god mode for when you're logging in. It might seem crazy, but after what happened, I think it could work. What happened to me: I was playing on a Hardcore server and got myself some good gear, later on, I had to log off, so I did. Today a logged in again and I got shot while my screen was black, I did not expect that because I logged off in a tree on top of a hill, and the guy had a Mosin with a scope, so yeah. The thing is: I got shot while my screen was black and fading in, and when my game loads, it lags for a bit and then it goes back to 40fps. When I logged in, he saw me and shot me. He didn't kill me right away, but he broke my legs, I tried to hide behind a tree but I died. I had no chance to defend myself or even try, I was lagging and couldn't see, that was completely unfair. So maybe a quick God Mode when logging in?

*Cough* Wrong place to post this, there is a DayZ Mod Troubleshooting... *cough*
