I've had reduced fps recently too... I had to drop my video settings all the way down for me to be able to play... Not sure if we'll just have to wait for the next update

Kind of a difficult question to answer... I've had no freezing or issues with rubber-banding and very few with server-side lag recently... sometimes you still lose stuff if you set it on the ground while the server fps is too low. But they're starting to add in an decent amount of items. It looks absolutely gorgeous. I had no problem dumping 5 hours of my Saturday in to gearing up and stalking two players until they noticed me and tried to rob me... I was forced to murder them. :P

Lingor is great too.

Fair enough... I just feel like this needs to happen :P

Umm... This is either a really bad joke or you completely misunderstood what the guy was saying. Try reading a little more slowly and relax... Why do people always freak out over shit they misunderstand.

Umm... Go watch the video I just posted in the gallery... Dean was just talking with Sacriel about how much more the FPS is going to increase over the coming months... They're still shifting tons of stuff server side. They're aiming for 60 fps on mid-level rigs and OP's is definitely upper-middle. Just have patience... Edit: I posted part 3 in the gallery... I think it was in part 2 that Dean talks about that but I can't remember now.

Um, I love this... I want to make sure Dean sees this somehow... You should post it to the DayZ Subreddit

You can list the system spec if you want and I might have a few tips to get it up to 20ish fps in cities but that's gonna be about it because: Alpha.

I thought skyrim was as good as Fallout 3. New Vegas was buggy as hell but it was good too. "The Forest" looks like an amazing and beautiful open world survival game slated to come out this year. I would check it out. I'll edit if I can think of any others...

Lots of interesting information about upcoming stuff for DayZ and general lols along the way... I recommend watching all three parts, but the very beginning of part 3 is great.

Yeah, pretty much both of these ^^

I"ve had more friendly encounters than hostile ones after 60+ hours of playing... Tons of fantastic character interaction. We'll see how these things evolve as they keep adding weapons and other mechanics.

*Load of Fan Boys Raging*

If the vaulting mechanic seems broken, trying pressing the "v" button a little sooner... or a lot sooner, like a full second ahead. Then it will work fine. It's the result of low server fps.

Sacriel42 on youtube does an absolutely brilliant explanation of how the whole system works... Watch this video and Part 2 and you will understand precisely what is going on.

Why do I never come across bandits who are this bad?

Other weapons could zoom-in on the mod, but in the SA it is only the 8x mosin scope as mentioned above (for now). Alternatively you could go to your video settings and drop your FoV all the way down and you'll be pretty much double your normal "right-click" ADS view. A little clunky but it enables you to be pretty zoomed in with a PSU scope.

^^This.^^

While the game is in Alpha, it would behoove you not to become attached to your character or your gear. The issue will be fixed, though probably not for quite a while. If it bothers you that much, I would recommend waiting until it is in Beta stage.

Welcome :) It really is a completely different kind of game... and it will only continue to get better over the next year. Much, much better. I upgraded my PC instead of picking up either of those systems entirely because of this game :D

Had mostly friendly encounters so far, everywhere except the NWAF. Was even given a .45 and a couple mags by a guy in Elektro today... Southeastern US servers for the win :P

So, I've been extremely frustrated by my FX-4100 Bulldozer running ARMA 2 and DayZ SA like absolute shit over the past year (GPU usage never went above 70% as a result of cpu bottlenecking), and so when I came across a cheap AMD Athlon X2 3.4Ghz I figured why not throw it in my rig and see what happens... Well... It ran even worse... Which I guess I shouldn't be totally surprised by, it was just the my FX-4100 bulldozer was such shit (13-17 fps in cities) I had to give it a shot... Anyway, I take the Athlon X2 out and put the FX-4100 back in and load up DayZ and voila! I'm suddenly getting 100%+ gpu usage and am bottoming out around 28-30 FPS in cities... I can't even begin to understand how the hell this happened but if anyone can lend any insight I would greatly appreciate it... Playing DayZ now is like playing it for the first time all over again because the cities are actually playable. Just so confused as to how this could've helped... or what was going wrong before I swapped the CPU's Edit: System specs MSI FXA-990gd80 mobo FX-4100 bulldozer @ 3.8Ghz GTX 660 with PrecisionX K-boost enabled 8Gb ram @ 1600 7200 rpm HD Windows 7

I tried using the startup parameters prior to cpu swapping with no change whatsoever, even tried parking cores 3&4 on the FX and OC'ing a bit further which did nothing... I'll take a stab at it though for curiosity sake

Kind of glad for this at the moment... As soon as tents or storage devices that persist through server restarts are added in the amount of loot hoarding and banditry will skyrocket.
