  1. There is plenty of open spaces and forest areas.  

     

    This is the modern world and there would be villages and towns everywhere - if you want sparseness maybe we need DayZ - Australia where you run through the outback for 3 days and all you find is a dried up dam and towns are 600km apart.

    This.

    Forgot to mention as soon as you leave any city, It's a 45 minute drive at 110 km/h to get to the next town.


  2. It is always a good idea to run one game with a different port.

     

    IE run your partner's game just normally and add this to your launchparameters on Steam:

     

    -port=2310

     

    This way you're making sure it's not an issue with the connection in the same network.

    Yeah, I've already done that. We got it sorted. I just copied my fresh install across and all was honkie dorie.

  3. Are those connected at the same time? IE a friend / partner / brother / priest playing at the same time?

    Yeah, Girlfriends PC. We think we found the issue, Seems the patch either came with corrupted files, or corrupted files. I had to re-download the full game this morning when the patch launched, and we thought that'd be it. Her game launched perfectly fine, everything was normal, but as soon as she joined a server, " Connecting failed ". So we did a steam cache verification thing, 160 ( 4gb ) of missing files..

     


  4. Make sure DayZ is closed and not running when you're trying to make edits to game files.  Also make sure you have Read/Write access to those files.

    As nettles said. 

    Also make sure it isn't set to read only, I found that if you don't set it to read only once you're done editing it, the changes can revert at random intervals.

  5.  Is hacking as big a problem in mod as it is in SA?

     

    Hacking in SA, is non-existant  in comparison to the mod.

    They can spawn Aircraft carriers, bombs, tanks, Anything in the game files.

    They can also take control of your client, and Nuke servers.

    As for the A3 " Versions " Of dayz, I can't say anything, I tried breaking point early on, but it was buggy as hell, and form what I've heard, still is.

     


  6.   All of a sudden the list of servers is empty. I didn't change anything in the filters, they are ok. Funny thing is that the list of Favourites and History displays correct amount of available servers, but the Internet section is completely empty. I've restarted the game and the Steam, nothing changed.

    Could be steam servers screwing up, Had the same thing trying to play TF2 around the same time as you posted this.


  7. I'm glad you can't fit .308 in your Mak, Or you'd be missing a hand.
     

     

    It would be nice if pistol mags could be slightly easier to find, even empty ones. I don't think I've found one yet.  Talking about pistols like the CR75, and 1911, and makarov.

     

    The makarov IJ70 is useless, the .308's don't fit in it.

  8. I found one behind a train station shortly after the 0.49 update.  Was pretty random.  Also found an anti-stab vest on a police car yesterday.  Are they supposed to be better than the UK assault vest or high capacity vest in any way?  They have fewer pockets, which is kind of annoying...

    AFAIK, They're the only vest that provides protection.


  9. No you missed the point, entirely.

     

    Used for what exactly - go on, let's hear how you tell us the game should be tailored around you.

    Have I once said that I want it to be tailored the way I want it?

    I have just short of 2k hours in the mod, and 1200 in SA. If I was one of those stamp your feet and QQ on the forums every time I died to a bug, pretty sure I would have never made it past 100 on either.

    I'm saying what is the point in extending the map, and turtling development even more? The plan they have now is about the best you could hope for? Why do we need another 10 20 or 30ks added? It could only be North or West since South and East are coastal.. I just don't see the point on expanding the map, When there's a metric fuckton of unused map as there is..

    I'd rather them spend more time developing New systems or expanding on existing ones, than have a tiny bit more of the map that's never going to get used.

    Still waiting for a a decent medical system, That shit hasn't been mentioned in ages, and they avoid the question in the dev stream like it's the fuckin' plague.


  10. Most of the map is used, 100% to be precise though wait......

     

     

    I just walked outside and got in my space shuttle and I can tell you for a fact that most of the planet isn't used...oh wait, that's reality..... :huh:

    That's exactly my point.. What is the point of adding more shit, when it's not going to get used?

    And, How exactly is 100% of the map used? Been to Tulga lately? Msta? Staroye? Pulkovo? Myshinko ( pre-tents ) ? Might want to get back in that spaceship.

    Sure everyone has been most places. That doesn't mean that they're actively used. I'm not endorsing condensing the map, Nor expanding it. I'm just saying it's better to work on what we already have.

    The difference about most the planet not being used vs a large chunk of a GAME map not being used.. Let's see.. WORLD Vs country side.. GAME vs Real life... What's the point in continually adding place in, if people have no incentive to visit it.

    Get in your space shuttle and think about that. 


  11. One would expect purification tablets to have a use at some point, and we have ability to boil water with the fire.. So, Why not make it a chance that some wells are dry, and ponds have a, I don't know 75% chance of being contaminated.

    Seems illogical to not flesh out existing systems, instead of adding new ones, with one use.. Trolling..
