Long time fan and player, faith in SA and Rocket is gone.
diddums replied to itsjustadeer's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I agree with you 100% OP. We all know that every other game developer on the face of the earth plans out their games from the get-go and never skip a beat, so why does Rocket and his crew? Every other dev has backup artists and coders that have their phone on all the time just in case something goes wrong, so why don't these guys? It's insane, right? It's totally unacceptable that Rocket didn't see all these setbacks coming, after all, you certainly did and I had a hunch too, as did the devs of Gran Turismo 5. And after all, when someone releases a mod totally free of charge, which they've developed in their free time with no intention of it being released to the public they can at least do it right, right? And all those damn servers... all those guys that spend at least £50 a month to run a server. Who the hell do they think they are running the server the way they like it? They need to cater to the needs of the many dammit! Hackers too... what the hell? Every other game ever made has managed to avoid hackers, so why not this mod that cost nothing and is only an experiment? Pure insanity here I tell you! -

A few things I'd like to add to this thread: "Power pc" - underlined or not, says nothing. Your "power pc" in your opinion or according to your budget could be an absolute monster to others. It could also be an entry level system, depending on various other factors. How do we know your "power pc" isn't a 386 made by a company called "power pc"? Writing in blue looks stupid and gives the impression that you're trying to look important. The effect is in fact the opposite. Op, this game is extremely fussy. I get 40fps solid with everything maxed out and I'm running a 2500k @ stock, 8gb ddr3 and an hd6950. Many folks on here have faster systems than mine but get slower rates. Granted your pc isn't the fastest around but if the game engine doesn't utilise it properly, this will only be amplified. The links posted above are pretty decent, I'd say start with the YouTube video. -
^u so gangsta

Tell me why you went to the island, and I'll tell you what happened to your tyre.

Howdy folks! As I'm sure some of you are aware, I have been busy with my own little Youtube channel, and although I'm still new to the whole Youtube thing, progress is being made and lessons are being learned at a pace that sometimes makes my brain go "wtf man?". Thing is, I need some feedback. From you guys, the viewers. Mt channel is tiny and hardly gets any views so if any of you could spare a few moments to watch a vid or two and tell me what you think, Id appreciate it. I'm not looking for free views here, I'm trying to improve my channel and content so that people will enjoy watching it and hopefully it'll take off at some point. If you'd like to subscribe or comment or whatever I'd appreciate it but obviously that's entirely up to you guys. My channel can be found here. A few questions I can think of are: What channel layout do you prefer, the new "One" layout or the current one? If the new one gets a decent response I'll change to that. It'll make creating a logo easier too. What sort of videos do you guys enjoy? I've got a few DayZ videos on there (and a few more on my PC which I'll render up later) and also a "Diddums does the classics" in which I'll play some old school classic games so the younger guys amongst us can see what we grew up with. There are a couple of Call of Duty videos on there but that series is completely stale for me so although I'll leave them there, I can't see myself doing any new ones any time soon. That's it for now, thanks for reading and any feedback, positive or negative will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words mate, I'm aiming to get quality over quantity and I have a habit of recording for hours and then scrapping it all because I don't like it... I need to ease up a bit I think.

Hatchet dance - I take on 2 geared snipers with just my axe

Very nice, have some beans! -
No. Inception, I bestow upon you the almighty force of Heinz! Harness thy energy and head forth and conquer those evil dastardly buses!

Apologies for all the threads this week but as I'm learning more and getting better I'm needing to be able to broaden my abilities, which brings me neatly to flying. First off, is the armory the best place to learn? Is there a way to get Chernarus into the armory? What would you say is easier, heli or plane? And if anyone has experience with a joystick, would you recommend it over m&kb? I've got a Cyborg FLY 5 and it'd be great if it works well with the game. Cheers!

Does Dayz utilize multiple cores or multithreading?
diddums replied to decoman's topic in New Player Discussion
7 months for that? -
I can run it on these settings ..., with this .... FPS.
diddums replied to bulletgaming012's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Beans for you sir. -
Hello, Started playing about 2-3 weeks ago, stuck pretty much exclusively to the west side of the map. Hadn't seen a single heli crash. Today I stuck around on the East side, came across 4 crash sites in about an hour. Is this normal? It was on a pub server. Also, 3 of them had an SVD Camo with no ammo. Again, is this normal? Cheers!

What do you guys do when you are a new spawn? Do you stay away from cities and try build up a bit of gear before heading into the more populated areas? Do you break your back trying to find a vehicle? What are your priorities? Personally, as a loner, I look for a hatchet and some basic supplies. Food, water, bandages. Then I'll start moving into small villages where I can defend myself against zeds with the hatchet in the hope of finding something that fires bullets and hopefully isn't a makarov. Then I start focusing on vehicles. I'm yet to kill another player though so this is obviously subject to change as I evolve in the game. GO!

What settings do you play on?
diddums replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
i5 2500k @ stock, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz and a 6950 2gb (with the extra shaders unlocked). This game seems very fussy with hardware though. -
Had a decent setup, died, respawned. Fire everywhere. Was a rubbish spawn so I thought I'd try catch it and spawn again. Nope, couldn't touch it. Every time I came close, it'd disappear into the distance. Thing is, I have a Hilux stashed away and loads of gear in it. If I come too close, I'm sure it's going to burn up and disappear. If you're a script kiddy and you're reading this, I hope you stub your toe tonight.

Aha, that's good to hear. Was getting worried there for a bit! Cheers.

Maxed out. Everything. Funny thing is, my PC is mid-range at best by today's standards. Weird. -
Why DayZ sucks, is unrealistic and needs to get fixed!
diddums replied to banditkilla92's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Brake =/= break. Firstly, if you're going to be a schmuck, it generally pays off to know basic English. Secondly, the fact that you have a second account might not be against the rules (I haven't really read them) but it certainly means you're hiding behind an alternative identity because you A) aren't confident enough to tell us your thoughts or B) don't have enough faith in your own thoughts to be able to believe them yourself. Either way, if you have something to say, then say it. Hiding behind another username won't help, as you've found out. The majority of us here aren't idiots, and many of us saw right through your plot before it even took off. Oh, and about the "copying my friend's text" - you have no friends. When you adapt your personality to be honest and just say what you have to say, this might change. As it is now, there are 20 odd folks in this discussion and I can tell you right now: Not a single one of them would like to be affiliated with a deceitful liar. TL;DR: You're a liar and an idiot, as has been proven quite comprehensively. -
Just found myself a Hilux. Needed a wheel so I fitted one. I got the message that it was successfully repaired, the car did it's bouncy thing but the wheel isn't there. Is there a fix to this? Anything I need to do in future to prevent this? Cheers!
-
That's rather unfortunate! Having said that, I finally managed to find a wheel and got the Hilux running, thanks for all the help folks!

That's a LOT of effort in that post given that you don't care what people think of your opinion. -
