sounds like you played on a pvp server, spawning with one of the better pistols, everyone geared up. would survive better on a regular server, but pvp servers are fun for mindless killing, i usually go on one occasionally as i dont wanna be a bandit normally, but sometimes i just wanna kill :D

also, you got "all the best gear" in a few hours, thats luckier than most, who run around already looted servers and dont have much, so im sure once you get over your loss you will go back to the game in a few days to a week

i can confirm an issue crawling under a wall, going from orangle house to silos in eketro, had no backpack, just a mosin (actully found it upstars in the clothing factory type place, didnt think id find a gun there)

dont see why people are complaining about new clothing, clothing is already in the game, adding more is alot simpler than adding a whole new feature or mechanic like vehicles or base building. im sure when vehicles do get released you wont be complaining about a new car added every week personally i like the mix of big and small feautres/items being added each week, gives us something new while we wait for the big stuff

yeah dont think they will do human ai ive seen ai on custom servers on the mod, but they weren't fun, they have super auto aim, and can headshot you while you are on a roof a few hundred meters away and just as they turn round. plus human ai would ruin the games essence. however i would like to see bird and bug ai removed, as aftermath and dayzero mods have shown this can improve performance. Although i like them for the natural ambiance, I would prefer better performance for something i barely notice. Maybe leave in sounds, or make the birds part of the skybox, rather than a living thing

i just seen a rabbit for first time last night in standalone! tried to shoot him but it just passed through, then i walked right up and it just sat there, even stood up after a while, ran off after I walked away abit. Strangely my friend couldnt see it, must be client-side? but yeah i dont hear aggro sometimes either, which resulted in my death as i hid in a forest area to grab some some snacks, came back just in time to see them knock me out and kill me

ive heard the loud static when logging into stable servers, its like a sound glitch or something but yeah the reloading thing is annoying, especially since you cant do anything while your game catches up though i was wondering if you have to wait 30 seconds to spawn, are you spawned in during them 30 seconds? because if you hit esc you can see the area around you, but don't know if its just the textures being loaded or if its live

can you currently run other games in full screen? like have you tested it since? does sound more like a problem with windows more so than the game (uneducated guess) the weird thing is you can still control your character when it happens, usually if im on the desktop with the game running I cant even hear the game, much less still have control you could try running razer game booster with dayz, even though you get acceptable frames, one thing the program can do is disable all unnecessary processes, including explorer.exe which is everything running on the desktop, you can still alt-tab out but the desktop is blank. I'm not sure if this will fix your issue, or is even close, but if all else fails, give it a try. p.s you have to choose explorer as a program to disable when boosting, its not setup as default

seems even if i step in a pond my entire clothes gets wet and trees and bushes protect you from rain, ive tried it out. not sure about the long term though, as mentioned above under a tree you would still get wet to some extent (big annoying rain drops IRL - so annoying lol)

i think it would be a nice gesture or animation, but everyone won't shake hands, and you will get some people who would use it to their advantage, such as you could extend your hand to shake, and i could use that time to raise my fists and land a punch or 2, while you have to cancel the animation and raise your fists to defend yourself, by then you would probably be knocked out. not saying thats something i would do personally, but thats what people will do, and alot of people pretend to be friendly while they wait for an opportunity to strike

if its just minimizing....can you not just open the game again? as in alt-tab back to the game? sounds like you might be alt-tabbing accidentally, as you use alt to look around and tab to open your inventory, but if you try to do both at the same time it will minimize the game just a theory

either your internet connection is bad at the time, or the servers connection is bad. what ping are you getting from all servers? have you tried joining empty/lower than 5 people servers and not had the issue? tried switching back to experimental? also, complaining about a game the developers told you not to buy is dumb, constructive feedback will give you more results than complaining, have you tried bug tracker? you can send a log of what happened and they can tell you if its a bug, user fault, or server fault.

no gaz? the gaz limo has always been my choice of car, kinda like a black muscle car (dont know why its called a limo) or the decorated lada - for the style points

i agree most doors dont open both ways in the real world. maybe if metal gates opened both ways (as they will really move you when they hit you) then doors could have a different icon to indicate if they would come towards they player or away from (kinda like the difference between push and pull doors) dont really like the idea of physics based doors, as generally in other games you got to walk into and nudge them to open them enough to look inside

i did the first 2, and in task manager i set dayz to high priority also, when the game crashes, and you open task manager and go to performance, has it hit maximum on each core? thats what mine was doing. So i did the above, and run razer game booster, aswell as using most of the fps boost guide in the new player discussion. So far 2 nights and no crash....

yeah i used this the other night, pretty handy, but a few times i would stop to eat or axe a zombie and realised i dropped my weapon in the grass and had to find it

yeah that thread can help abit. im running a pentium dual core at 3.00ghz with 4gb of ram and gts450 graphics card and can manage 15-30 in elektro, but i think about the same anywhere else i lowered some of the graphical options in the config files, stuff like scene complexity and max frames ahead, should make it playable at least

I have an m4 but no mags or bullets :(

something that gives players a reason to stick with a server, such as base building/storage or cars then more zombies, then respawning loot

think you can only get a heart attack while unconscious and in shock dont like the noise indicators between getting wet and not, as it seems to flick on and off quite constantly, also the extra status message on the tope right isnt needed otherwise, enjoying the new patch so far

food, as you can drink from water fountains, maybe also bandages, incase you get hit, but if you can avoid getting hit all you need is food

yeah i also get it, have always got it so i know its not a patch, and it doesnt happen anywhere in particular :(

i watched sacriels stream on youtube last night, and he definitely said backpacks as persistent storage. but since there was 9 videos i couldnt tell you which one exactly, but i know it was early, just after the shootout when dean joined, and sacriel was still running around the same area as when dean joined the chat, but not the game. not exact info i know but il back up the other guy who did say backpacks aswell. personally though, id prefer a tent, or a stash buried in the ground (which is in the mod, or epoch) but i wonder if a person dies and the server restarts, will their just be a bag lying on the ground, or will it disappear with the body

where do you find the error report logs?

i think hair color, then a few extra faces, maybe a couple different options for eyes, nose, mouth etc, then add a few more hairstyles. as mentioned this is a low priority thing, but it is necessary,
