Statik (DayZ)

I want to pretext by saying I put probably close to 1,000 hours back in the mod days from the beginning, and after putting like 80 hours in the SA I lost all hope, but I figured I'd try it out since its finally full release (only 5 years wow). I installed, launched it, and went into the settings to drop it down to 1920x1080 instead of my native 5760x1080. But surprise surprise I was let down again. I can modify EVERYTHING in every menu, EXCEPT nothing happens when I try to change my resolution. Hats off to you Bohemia. I got about 5 minutes of play time (all in the menu), before I was his with a game breaking glitch. Not like its a full game or anything though... It wasn't in alpha that long so bugs are to be expected. I miss the mod.

*bump* Can anyone give an inkling of how to fix this? Verifying game cache, and reinstalling don't fix it.

There's not really anything else you can do. Your FPS is pretty good. Everyone has pipe dreams...

aah yes. This was some of the most fun possibly had. -go to 3:20-

I just want to add, if you're rocking an H100i, and a 4770, you really should be OCing. That would also improve performance. Make sure post processing is off. 25-35 in cities honestly isn't that bad FPS for cities in DayZ, especially on more populated servers.

Are you overclocking at all? Is DayZ on your SSD or HDD? All considering, that's playable for SA.

Fuck all of you. Yes i do want to play.

Fuck off. "OrLoK says: This is NOT how we do things here, with your post count you should know better."

Inception. touches himself while reading these. This is his source of euphoria.

The extra thick ones are practically plate steel.

Try exiting out only using your mouse (don't hit escape to back out). Make sure you click every "save" and "back" option. Sometimes just spamming and backing out, you miss an option to save.

Okay, looking at minimum specs, your PC does meet the minimum requirements, but it is grazing on the end of low of minimum specs. So yes, like trtk said, your game should run, but on servers with higher pops, longer uptimes, big cities, and in new sections up north, you will experience quite large FPS issues.

What CPU?

You won't be getting 30fps with onboard graphics. I'm rocking a 770 (with a FX-8320 though) and SA doesn't run very nicely in big cities (or in general). I might get higher FPS but in the middle of buttfuck no where. Busy cherno is still a shitty experience. EDIT: And while the 4440 would work for A2 or SA, it's a little on the lower end. From looking at general reviews and benchmarks, it actually seems to come out below the FX-8320 and 8350. So I'm more confident in saying the game wouldn't run very well.

Look at that god damned upper lip. Now please delete your post. Plus, Edmonton. lul.

Buying the game again on a different account is no hidden secret. OPs friend wants to have it on his original steam account. That in no way is going to give him some magical power. By sitting here not believing him and just overall being rude to him, isn't exactly going to stop him. Honestly from an extreme POV, if I got banned for hacking, came to the official forums, and was like "Hey, I hacked, I'm sorry, but I want to buy the game again __________" and everyone was like "Hey, you hacked, once, fuck you, you're scum, we hate you here" I wouldn't exactly be more inclined to play the game legit. Actually helping someone get the game back on their original account isn't going to magically let them hack again. IMO, if he wants to hack so bad, then he would just make another account and do that. I wouldn't want a hacked account linked to my original steam account.. twice. All I'm saying is, P.S. Fuck the Eskimos.

All I'm saying is someone comes to the official forums for a game, and asks how to proceed, and instead of accepting his mistakes and just helping the guy, the post get's the whole "Oooooh, Oookay, you're "FRIEND" hacked, eeh, you're a piece of shit, go somewhere else we hate you here". It literally turns into pages and pages of useless comments and people just flaming. For the past two years it's just people coming in, thinkin' they're hot shit, saying the same thing as the last 10 posts, and doing nothing constructive.

That's not exactly game breaking. Annoying, sure, but we've dealt with it for years. It's just as big a problem now, as it was in 2012. You just have to be vigilant. Just because they're loaded for bear doesn't make them good players.

So why don't you just be a bigger person and help him? All this information is at his disposal anyway, we're not giving him some hidden secret. He wants to hack, he's going to get banned, he's experienced it, he knows it. If his friend was so adamant about hacking, he would just buy a cheap stolen key, or whip up a new steam account with A2 and/or SA. I know and have/still play with people who have hacked in the past, and I frankly don't give a shit anymore. They learned their lesson and stopped, so who am I to judge. If buddy wants to go through all this to get another copy of the game on his same steam account and he wants to hack again, all the power too him, he knows what's going to happen in the end. Simply giving him the benefit of the doubt, and helping him through some miniscule issues (i.e. putting the game on his current account) isn't somehow magically enabling him to hack. If he wants to hack, he's going to, it's as simple as that.

Wanting a server without admins, to avoid admin abuse, would be like having a city without police officers to avoid police brutality. Find the bad ones, stay away. Find the good ones, get close.

Try the whole, restart steam, then restart PC, then run steam in admin, etc, etc. If you still have no luck, verify integrity of game cache through steam. If that doesn't work, try a fresh reinstall.

The support in this thread sends quivers of love down my spine. Why can't people just help, instead of being presumptuous. OP - Steam can possibly remove the game, but I'm not too sure on that. His best bet would be to make sure that any and all possible, and probably malicious files are removed from his computer before continuing at all. If he really doesn't want another account, he should contact steam support, and see if they can safely remove the game from his account. If not, then his only real option is to create a new steam account, and repurchase/install the game there. Again, I stress that he removes all possible script related files, and to erase his game folder in steamapps. If he doesn't do this properly, then it's very possible that BE will pickup on the traces of scripts on his new copy of said game, and ban him there, then he's really SOL.
