Short stroking if its mechanical helps a lot as well

In a real survival situation of course you would horde inside your shelter. But it should only be as safe as your shelter materials. they key would be to keep it safe from from zombies and wild animals. A sentient human would make short work of a simple wooden wall. You would need to have it well hidden, and protected.

:facepalm:

Knock wood they accomplish this as they are markedly more clunky then they were in the mod, the SA zombies run through far more map objects than any mod zombie And here I though the Z stood for zombies. http://www.zombiecommand.com/zombies/viral-zombie-survival-series/

It is silly to say that base building on some level is not an integral part of any survival game. Simple rudimentary bases add much needed depth and enjoyment to the experience. In regards to feedback; the voices of distaste are often the loudest yet they usually reside in the minority. On the with the base building! Anything I can do to help I gladly will, testing, models whatever.

Can we just have the basebuilding off by default and toggle it on in the init for folks like Rubberman? Since he plays on my sever i would like to keep him engaged lol

god dammit amber.

I for one welcome our new 1.7 overlords

setup your own server

You can by all means run an old version, R4Z0R is good like that

try deleting your configs and relaunch

nope just install arma 2 and arma 2 oa and dayz mod. (you may have to copy you addons folder from arma 2 to arma 2 oa)

yeah you use the server browser that built in. AKA the multiplayer menu. are you planning on using vanilla dayz? or some mod of mod? those require special launch params and such

No DayZ Commander has been depreciated, but you just install DayZ mod straight through steam. Vanilla DayZ is my favorite, they have weapon upgrades, lethal zombies, crafting, item degradation and lets not forget spooky music lol plus a ton more. Overpoch is also popular but a lot of those servers have been shut down since they were 99% pay to win and Bohemia went on a cease and desist rampage. If you need further help pm me I'll do what i can :)

What does this mean? There are a lot of ways to tweak a server one way or another. What do you miss from that patch that you cannot find in the current one?

You used to be able to tell north with shadows and your watch. That was the best.

What do you base this on? The numbers only show the more they work on the game the less people play it.

yep, no reason you cannot do all of those things

This still great gear man, that sandy bridge i7 benchmarks (gamingwise anyways) fairly similar to the new skylake chips. And that GTX 660 is the chip they use in the gtx870m.

turn off pp, aa on low, shadows on medium, and object detail on medium.

Man I love me some "DayI"

CPU: Intel core i5 or better, 4xxx series or better. For DayZ the AMD FX series is not a great option, while the average frame-rates are quite competitive you will most likely experience frequent and noticeable frame drops (this from a guy who has run both Intel and AMD to play DayZ on many different platforms). Other games like BF4 or anything heavily multi-threaded will love an FX chip ( ) but DayZ at the moment relies heavily on single core performance. Developers have stated their work with the renderer is intended to allow multi-scheduling, but that day is not today and on this day Intel smokes AMD in per core performance. Graphics Card: Nvidia: 660 series or better, so think 660, 660ti, 680, 750ti, 760, 770. 780. 950, 960, 970, 980 Get the best deal you can within this range. A GTX 780 or 970 being optimal. (But if you have the cash, grab a 980ti, nothing can touch it). Radeon: I would look at the R9 290, 290x, 390 and 390x. These cards smoke GTX 780's at half the price, the later "300" series trucking 8gb of ram for 4k gaming. Sli: This feature is overrated, even today it is wrought with bugs and micro-stuttering and games like DayZ don't really support it, you are better off to get the best single card you can afford. Color coded by performance Good, better, best, Super Mega Ultra Hard Drives: 250gb or greater SSD. Look up the read/writes as they vary greatly. Again, the best deal you can find with the fastest read/writes you can find. Use a large mechanical drive to store your movies and/or music along with any programs or files that slow read/write speeds will go unnoticed. Motherboards and Memory: The most important part of any motherboard is the chip-set ensure you grab a mid-range (I personally would never) to enthusiast chip-set based board. Otherwise no matter how great and powerful your other components are you will be forced to bottleneck them through substandard system buses, most modern boards will support at least 16GB of ram with is plenty for a gaming enthusiast. Unsure you configure it to run dual channel (think two sticks of the same size and speed). So if you want to start with 8gb and plan of upgrading again soon, then get one 8gb stick and buy a second 8gb later. But if you have decided to stick with 8gb get two 4gb sticks. Be wary, however, a lot of high end boards can be quite expensive, packaged with various bells and whistles seldom used by the average (even enthusiast user) look for a high end chip set paired with a modest (yet complete) set of features. You will pay out the nose for fancy colored PCB's and weird bios interfaces that do very little to enhance performance and stay hidden away inside your case. Power supplies: An often neglected but ultra/uber/super/extra/wicked important. You want (in my opinion) a Gold Certified power supply of 750w or greater (you do not "out of the gate" need this much wattage, but if you add another card or overclock you will be glad to have this extra juice, plus its better to over-power than under-power). Case: Another thing often neglected where it counts, you want and need good airflow, hard core gaming heats that bugger up and you need an effective way to exhaust that heat. Looks are all well and good, but a good case serves a specific function. Sound: Unless you are the most extreme of audiophiles what comes on the board will suffice. Optical drives: Suite to your taste. Monitor: Do not order these online before going into an actual store and comparing the image quality, this is what you will be spending 100% of your time looking at and a large portion of it is subjective to your taste, so take you time and choose wisely. You do not have to buy from there, but you do need to see which monitor looks best to you. Networking: Do everything in your power to hard-line your connection, LAN connections are full duplex which means it can transmit and receive data at the same time, WI-FI can only do one or the other at any given moment and in BIS games with so much information packeted this will reduce lag and give you a far more responsive experience. Keyboard and mouse: These again vary greatly by taste, but the important things to pay attention to are(in the case of mice), how they feel in your hand, do they have enough buttons for the game you wish to play and dpi. Keyboards, should be mechanical and have n-key rollover i like back lit keys but i don't think its a make or break feature. Extras: I am a huge fan of liquid coolers, even low budget ones that parallel air cooled solutions in their ability to dissipate heat. Liquid coolers run extremely quiet, and free up space inside your case for airflow. One can also liquid cool your GPU It all depends on how deep down the rabbit hole you wish to go. Ram has been proven time and time again in modern times to be in relation to gaming performance (think ddr3 1333 vs 1600 vs 1866 etc etc). Provided you run them dual channel (or quad channel depending on how fancy a board and chip-set you have) there will be a difference of performance equal to the margin of error.

Its hard to tell from that screenshot what you mean. Can you upload a higher res one?
