I would not have admitted it either ;) With all those duped equipment from "back in the dayZ" a lot of people could get rich, now. -
Infected children in DayZ. Poll.
foamy_d_squirrel replied to DZR_Mikhail's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Against children npc Against cannibalism I personally would not mind, but considering the drawbacks that would impact the game, its really not worth the fuss. Unless of course, it is all about marketing to get some articles and raise attention for free and then proclaim there is never going to be any child in dayz. Uhm yeah that would be great. -
Help! Freezing every 10 seconds for 2-5 seconds at a time.

check if load is being switched from core to core. short: reinstalling or formatting fixed it for me. http://dayzmod.com/f...-new-occurance/ -

in fact, i emailed battleye support 2 times since i started playing dayz and had answers to my questions within 24 hours on a weekend. Also got permission to quote Mr. Suttner here on the forums but did not feel it would have helped in any way. Bottom Line would be : Wait for another Engine. -
I suggest a "Recruit a Friend" system to reward some of the million fans.

Could I run Dayz Mod?
foamy_d_squirrel replied to Skids (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Since you are not exactly specific... i try to rephrase. Dayz Team has posted some system requirements for computer to run the game. Here is a link to their statement.. http://support.dayzm...ayarticle&id=15 I guess you can go with the Operation Arrowhead Demo before you even think about buying the ARMA2 and Operation Arrowhead expansion. This link the Demo for Operation Arrowhead http://store.steampo....com/app/33930/ There are programs to monitor your fps. ( Frames Per Seconds ) - for example http://www.fraps.com/ FPS can be used as indication of how well the game is performing on your machine. example: >:( 10 fps game will be stuttering as fook :( 20 fps will feel strange but playable :thumbsup: 30++ fps are considered acceptable The nicer you want the game to look, the more it needs to calculate. Some guy made an excellent compilation of video options that cover both nvidia and ati graphic cards ( GFX / GPU ) Here is the link: http://www.dayzpvp.c...d-tweaks-guide/ really tried hard not to be insulting - but if you cannot manage to compare the system requirements of the game to your system, you will have trouble to get the mod installed, and if you get it installed, you gonna have a hard time connecting to a server and play the game smoothly. I almost guarantee in that case: You will come back and ask questions that already have been covered and waiting for responses on the forums although search would have served you very well, posting question marks... And that's when i am gonna hunt you down on whatever server you are and beat you to death with your own flashlight. -

Some day in the future, when i will be an old man, ... sitting in a wheel chair, crippled, soaked in my own piss and smelling of shit and unwashed feet ...with a tear in the one eye i got left ... This will be the picture i'd want to give to the young male nurse i'd mistake for my grandson on a regular basis coz of the dementia. Accompanied by a story starting with "Jimmy... Jimmy you're a good boy. I have been hiding this photography in my ass for thirty years... and.. when i was your age.." that basically has absoluteley no relation to the content of the shot itself... Enjoy. p.s. i give beans to the one who can point out the hidden phallus in the pic :P

Server Wide Shock

Death would be at least a clear confirmation for what caused the global effect. -

Mini Lag or Freezes / CPU Load / New Occurance
foamy_d_squirrel posted a topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Hi everybody, been playing since may without that problem. Running fine before. Since friday 13th i have mini lag issues. Not sure if it's patch-related because the day 1.7.2.1 => x.x.x.3 were introduced, i did a fresh installation of arma2 & OA via Steam. It's playable, but annoying. System: CPU Phenom ii x6 clocked to 3400 MHz tried 2 different sets of RAM 1333 MHz 560 ti - nvidia 301.41 and later beta 304.79 beta Windows 7 Lag occurs when load is switching cores. You can see the spike on core 1 and 5 - that manifests ingame as a freeze lasting about 1-5 sec. Is this what http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters refers to as overhead? Tested without DayZ Mod for roughly 50 minutes of Chernarus: Superpowers, Armory and could not reproduce it there. Parameters tested each one at a time and combined: -no parameters after fresh install -cpucount=6 ( would like to know if thats right in the first place) -exthreads=7 (same here: not sure if this setting is correct) -maxmem=2047 -Also had it running with cpucount=2 for a while Also tried setting affinity of the application to single cores, as well as 2 / 3 / 4 / 6. Game started via SixUpdater / Launcher and also with _runA2CO_beta.cmd Steam Arma Version beta (?) 1.6.1. 94876 and 94945 DayZ Version 1.7.2.3 Anyone experience the same? Any suggestions or advice on parameters? Anything missing in can provide? Do i fail at configuring any essential feature of BIOS / CPU options so shit keeps jumping from core to core? -
Mini Lag or Freezes / CPU Load / New Occurance
foamy_d_squirrel replied to foamy_d_squirrel's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I cant exactly say what fixed it. But the problem is solved. Drive: Switched to SSD OS: Fresh installation of Win7 64 bit Drivers : completely updated BIOS, Chipset Drivers, etc. Game: DL+Installed via Steam CFG: Using a backup from the drive it was running on before. -cpucunt=2 -exthreads=7 gonna test it with -count=6 for a while. -

@dirt mound : plz noclip mode.

Have look on how the cores behave when your lag occurs. I had the load spike jump from core to core when the game froze for a few seconds. Still cannot explain the "why" but format c: and setting up all from anew solved micro lags.

Personally, i would not care for knowing the stats. But i would welcome some CSI features like... "Oh Jethro, poor mr. ed has been laying around in the airfield's sun for several dayz. being badly punctured by some cal .50" Sure this topic has been covered else where already to the max. Also, would this feature be a great burden for servers, considering the fact that they have to save all the information for the bodies? + I wonder how many bodies ( respwaners included ) are created on an average playing day.

Server shotdown when Admin goes offline
foamy_d_squirrel replied to Kuchenmafia's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
As long as there is hacks to locate vehicles and stuff, i`d call it a legit move. It would piss me off to see the server going down, while i want to play -of course, or going down as a reaction to something happening in game. But it is not as fishy as passwording or kicking people since up- and downtime offer equal chances to play for everyone without abuse of the "lockdown, loot, swarming out to the rest of the hive". I'm not part of bbc either - but i think you forget someone is paying good money for the server you play on for free. And all they get in exchange is risk of losing hive access, unthankful commentary on the forums and if leaving the server up being nagged about random visitors hacking and being mistaken for admin actions. So in short: -get over your hartzIV mentality -you got equal chance to play -contact the admin yourself and offer your assistance for the time he is offline. -

Can you tell more about the program used? -
Well i am not a doctor, but since i do like to perform surgery on random people i find in my neighborhood, i can tell you from experience, that death also occurs, while the subject still has some blood left.

Your first video made me so nervous, coz i was expecting some funny fail to happen.. like being ambushed while boarding it.. or.. like driving a freshly stolen car into one of those concrete road blocks and getting whacked in the process. Why does the game look so nice for you?
