I've had several problems skin and quartering animals, but it eventually worked once. I just kept canceling action after a 15 secs waiting after the animation stopped. Eventually it worked once, but other times I gave up and left my dead rotting animal corpse. It is very similar to the error when trying to drink all of your canteen. Sometimes it works, but many times it just gets stuck and you have to cancel action.

I think you should only be able to use hot keyed items if they are in an accessible pocket, aka everything other than your backpack. I shouldn't be able pull a gun out of a backpack without first stopping, putting the backpack down, and then rummaging around (going into my gear page). This goes for reloading magazines, clips, and snaploaders as well.

I like that idea too. We're all shooting for the same goal, I think we should debate on which idea is the best considering a few factors (ease of use, ease to program, does it do the job, etc.)

That's a good compromise, and definitely something to build on.

I've been thinking about this too, I fully support its development

Thank you for finding that piece of info, I will now retract my "only head" vote

Considering all of the memory and desync issues that is probably the likely culprit of OP

huh, I haven't had any problems. In fact it seems to make more sense to me now. You situation is weird though. Were you really hungry for a long time? You could have been at such an energy deficiency that even after eating you are still at a deficit. Think about someone who has been starving for a long time. Just eating one meal till they are stuff isn't enough. They need to digest several meals over time to truly replenish their body. I believe that is what DayZ is going for and what is going on with you.

It;s not officially out until the patch is put out. You can find them in the "announcements", which is the first subform.

you should have pointed at the shoes and claimed you had just done that.

I think you got it that it is only a placeholder. I believe I remember reading that in a Dev post, but can't remember when or where to prove it.

Well I know that is what they want to do, let's hope they can pull it off.

Does anyone remember when I think DayZero made the zombies infect you with about every other hit, and killed you in about five hits? That made meds the most valuable thing to where people traded vehicles for meds. Unfortunately after about a week or so people complained so much they nerfed them. That was the good old days. I actually worked with strangers more often then not during that week. One example I remember clearly is I met a guy who gave me some food, then my friend wanted to kill him for his gear. I prevented my friend killing him and then literally the next day my friend became infected and that same person traded with us so we could get meds for my friend. That is an actual example I can point to where increased zombie threat and low chance of survival increased player interaction. In the end it is an investment in cooperation that will give you a greater chance of survival. Yes we could have killed that guy for his gear, but then he wouldn't have found the meds that we needed the next day and my friend would have died.

Do you know how many there were total against you? I feel there were more than you even saw.

Your welcome :)

Stand alone is DayZ as it's own separate game not a mod of Arma 2, which is how it started

If you want to play DayZ Standalone, then you only need DayZ. DayZ Mod is a mod on top of Arma 2, so you'd need to own Arma 2 first. There is also a mod for Arma 3 as well.

wow, unbelievable

Did you notice any effect on zombies being able to hear?

I think it would be great to get a feeling for how far the game has come. Maybe for 2 or 3 days on experimental.

Love it. I think I just started playing on your clan's server too.

Hello, Just trying to figure out why my character defaulted to my original name, default key binding, and fresh character after installing DayZ on my new PC. Any ideas and how to access my old character? Thanks

This isn't a new idea, he is just bringing it up again. This has been known for about a year now.

Please do and let me know when the next trial is done

you can't tell people you are doing a social experiment while doing a social experiment by the way
