I finally fixed the problem. I changed over from uncapped to capped. Ping is fine now.

Who is "their"?

Hi there, I have been having an issue for a while with all Bohemia Interactive games. Particularly Arma 2 CO, Arma 3 and the DayZ Standalone. On random days my ping would sky rocket the moment I join the server despite it looking perfectly normal in the browser. By high I mean 600+ms sometimes even 2000ms. This only occurs in these games meaning Battlefield 4 or any other game would be perfectly fine for online play while Arma is ****ing itself. I have looked for solutions through Google but nothing I found so far has worked. Worst yet, Battleye support ignores my plead for help. Could some techno forum god possibly solve my problem?

I thought the tents at Stary were not present in the Standalone.

I've shot someone point blank in their leg and they survived. It depends on the distance and where the bullet hits.

Did anyone watch the latest episode of The Walking Dead? There was a tank in a very similar setting that DayZ is in and yet we probably won't even see the DMR making a appearance in SA because it's too OP.

Yeah but it breaks the immersion :)

There aren't any rangefinders in the standalone and shift-clicking on a map doesn't work anymore. There aren't any mil-dots on scopes so you can't work out range from there but I have devised a method to find out the exact distance from you to your enemy, friends or destination. You will need: A map of the AO, the knowledge to read a map, a calculator of any sorts. Let me set the scene: You see a player far away from you, you don't wanna scare him off by taking pot shots at him. You want the 1 hit kill. http://imgur.com/iBsPBhG 1. Take out your map, locate yourself and the target and zoom in fully. 2. Use the lines of latitude and longitude to measure the distance vertically and horizontally. (Each block represents 100m in both length and width) 3. Take those numbers and do a quick calculation: (300m*300m)+(600m*600m)=450 000 4. The square root of 450 000 is 671m 5. Take aim and fire! If you're struggling to find a map I recommend checking the GAZs at the towns north of Cherno. 1 GAZ is bound to have at least 1 map.

Forgetting the fire extinguisher...

Have your wounds healed yet, any text in the gear menu worth mentioning?

I never got the 'healing' status. The only status I got was 'healthy' and I was full on food, drink, free of illness, full health and had no wounds. To get blood to regenerate you have to eat and drink until you get the 'My stomach is full' message.

The new patch will be fixing this bug, but to avoid it run with something in your hands and your fists lowered.

Please leave the snipers alone. They give me good gear :)
