I run an e8500 dual core with 4gb RAM and 9800 GTX (1GB), playing on medium settings I get around 20fps. If you want a boost, turn down the AA first, then shadows/shaders.

Well just to sorta update things on my end, I may have been a different issue than others here. I ended up having to do a full reformat due to strange behavior coming from Windows. Re-installed Arma2, OA, and DayZ, and haven't had a kick since using the same software as before. It sounds like most people are having the issue from Xsplit more than anything else.

I run FRAPS (of course), MSI Afterburner, Steam Overlay, and X-Fire. I've only so far tried without FRAPS, but will try and see if I can isolate a bit better.

I play on a server and have been experiencing this since the latest update as well. Doing some basic Google searches lead to some information scriptkiddies have been using. Based on their description, Battleye 1.86 added a new process that detects if the main Battleye thread is running. If this process is ever interrupted, paused, etc... then Battleye will immediately disconnect with Game Hack #3. This apparently has been causing some conflicts with other software as well, and I've had to restart every 15-30 minutes due to it. I've tried it both with and without FRAPS, I've had the issue either way.

Sent my PM, friend and I are going to pwn it up >:]

It's something with the beta patch and Steam. When I still used the Steam version, I had the green HUD when running the beta, had its own splash screen, etc... but not with the Amazon version I use now. Though that may be incorrect, that's just how I ran across it.

So I've noticed that Helicopter crash sites aren't particularly random, I've seen one in the same spot on at least 2 different servers. This got me thinking that if we could bring together a map, we might be able to scope out all possible sites. So if anyone wants to chip in by marking the location of any crashes you've found, we can start compiling a map of their locations. I've only got one location currently =/

Scripts that are executed by a player are routed through BattleEye to the server in question, that is how BattleEye is doing their global bans. There may be "flags" of a hacked weapon in-game that could be linked to a player, but the simple fact is no such flag exists that directly communicates to BattleEye to initiate a ban. For example, what if the weapon was brought across servers? That would constitute a weapon replacement or DayZ ban at worst, since BattleEye has no correlation with the hive. Ergo, any "global bans" are not from picking up hacked weapons.

He obviously did something to get banned, and he paid the price. Everyone stop bashing because he's most likely learned his mistake that time. Anyways, did you completely erase the install? Just searching around for similar issues suggests that completely nuking the install, and removing any leftover registry keys afterwards, then re-installing the game should work. The only other thing I can think of is to get another installer, for example amazon's installer, using that to install the game, and then provide the new CD key from Steam.

It really all boils down to how he does it, and how BE responds. Given some of the current methods being discussed, it would technically be possible to "hack" without BE being able to detect it. Those "banwaves" are just idiot script kiddies injecting scripts, which BTW goes through BE to the server. There are ways around this, so BE really just needs to step their game up before that makes a big impact.

Here is a supplier of Concertina wire (the type used in the game): http://www.razorwire.us/razorwire/packing.html That packaging is pretty compact, so 2 slots taken up would probably be more appropriate. Of course, the package mentioned in the game also includes the stakes. Still, not something that should be feasible to put 10+ in your pack =/

There's two possibilities here: - The murder count ticked, but dropped after you left the server. This has happened to me a couple times before. - The murder count never ticked. Either he alt+f4'd, or in some way abandoned the server. If he abandoned it, and bled out on another server, or even came back to this one then bled out, the kill is then not awarded to you.

They disallow it in the sense that ya, BE probably looks for any hooking of the DirectX functions. More than likely however, BE would simply kick you from the game than ban you. Turn up any related search results, and you'll find that most people remotely having a problem were simply getting kicked while having FRAPS running. They don't issue bans unless you obviously cheated, such as the script kiddies all got global banned, and that was because scripts technically route through BE first.

If we have constantly spawning zombies onboard, then that would limit player's freedom especially given the possible labyrinth that players would face. Both ships and choppers have methods of attacking, and thus could clear anybody camping the carrier as well, so you don't need a way of stopping players on the ship from attacking incoming players. The idea of this sort of thing is to make the carrier simply a hotspot to be highly contested, with the inherent danger being that you need some way of carrying friends/clan members to and from shore. Therefore, what I think is the best way to balance it is to have the carrier 500-1000m from the shore, so that it is within sight. Therefore the rewards from visiting it or making base is high, however getting to/from the carrier also carries great risk. Regarding the "random position" aspect, I think it would be best for a static position. Think of what would happen if someone logged out on a carrier, and logged into another server only to be dropped to the ocean :x

The purpose is exactly what it sounds like it is. It's to make you unable to see anything. It's a blindfold; that's what blindfolds do. Your HUD and Inventory represent your awareness of your own body and the contents of your pockets/pack. I'm not looking to run around with no idea how hungry I am or whether I'm bleeding to death' date=' I'd just like the ability to not see anything. I'd just have my character close his eyes, but there's no option to do so in the game. I'm not asking to see one immediately, but at some point in the game I'd like to see a blindfold implemented in some form. [/quote'] Reading through this thread, I am thoroughly confused as to why anyone would want to stumble through the world "blind", especially as a zombie simulator. I wouldn't think this to be ever implemented simply because it's never going to catch on and will simply die out with the other thousand other suggestions.

So ya, I was cruzing along, and suddenly my ATV decided to be Mary Poppins, then promptly decided to do a triple backflip. My head and upper-torso went through the ground several times, was sure I was dead, but I got out just in time. Oh what a horridly sad time:

Man, Shorty, I remember when you said you were crawling from castle to NWAF. So I unloaded a clip from my M14 AIM thinking it was you. Good shit.

Honestly, I'm through with playing DayZ for now because of this. I haven't really had an issue until I've been forced to use a crappy wireless mouse for the time being, and the thing likes to "jump" sometimes. So today alone, I've managed to collect every tool, NVGs, Ghili, Cayote (those 3 were from someone I sniped :p) M16, etc... and managed to find an ATV, fixed a bus, and had my own little camp going up north all nicely. So I go to log out, only to hit that button for the 3rd accidental time today.

Aside from the fact that relogging into the server refreshes your ammo... If you actually find yourself in a situation where you've used 10000 swings in a single session, post some screenshots and show us that it's an issue.

Same here, been able to join a server randomly, but in most cases cannot.

For what purpose? ArmA 2 doesn't nearly bottleneck at the HDD, so that's not going to be a concern. Combined Operations is technically an Expansion like how DayZ is an "Expansion", and is handled by ArmA 2's Expansion system. The easiest way is if you had the retail or Amazon version of the game, because then you could install both into a single directory (install ArmA 2, update, run, install OA, update, run, install beta, install DayZ) and then you just run the beta. If you have the Steam version, you may need to copy the folder "Addons" from ArmA 2 into the ArmA 2 OA folder for it to work properly.

So I have a week-old character that I've been working on pretty well. Got everything I could ever need, except some tents to keep my stuff in. So when I'm going to leave a server so I can join one of my friends, what do I do? Instead of "Abort" I accidentally hit "Respawn" and saw all of my progress just disappear right there. There really needs to be a confirmation or some other means of suicide because this right here was the saddest moment I've ever had.

I don't see what there is to complain about. Honestly maybe people are either looking on popular servers, or just not in the right spots. I spent about 30 minutes hopping between some apartments and the church in cherno across 4-5 servers and found: - M1911 w/ 4 clips - Hatchet as primary - Compass - Map - Knife - watch - 6 cans of food - 2 empty water bottles - 3 cans of soda - painkillers - plenty of bandages - Czech backpack I forgot to search the meditents because now my friend has a broken bone somewhere between cherno and stary, that's a load of fun :x So if you aren't finding anything, you're obviously looking in the wrong places. Now if you, for example, just stay in the church and hop into another server expecting to find something, you're not going to.

Who needs crouch running when you can straight-up run? I found a hatchet in cherno, along with my compass, map, backpack, etc... and my friend was in elektro. So I just booked it out, ran all the way to the elektro hospital, and attracted probably 7-10 zeds on the way. However the fact that they still have to walk indoors and the fact that my hatched is a 1-shot kill meant that it was the quickest and easiest way to deal with things. No more of this sneaking around BS unless you want to avoid players.
