Hi everyone, for some time now I have a very distinct graphic problem with DayZ on Arma2. DayZ Settings Cataclyst Settings Cataclyst without Problem DayZ Without Graphics Problem DayZ with Graphics Problem Cataclyst with Problem So what I have tried is: - Changed every DayZ Ingame Graphics Setting back and forth - Updated graphics driver - Changed several settings in Catalyst Also - those issues ONLY appear in Arma2 - all other games, Standalone DayZ, SC Blacklist, Thief 4, SC2 run perfectly fine for hours. Please help me solve this, is there any graphics menu for arma I dont know of or any other setting I can change?

No one has an idea or experienced similar problems?

I have the same one - running on one server to get to the position where my corpse is on another. Loging back in on the other - unconscious... waiting for it to end - zombies near - logging out - logging in - unconscious - this can not be right.

Against it - if I wanna play a ruthless killer, playing for my own benefit without remorse, I want to be able to do that without having disadvantages. The game is very good as it is - instead of implementing huge gamechanging stuff they should just fix all the bugs and create a stable version 1.0.0 - when this stands they can implement all the stuff like towns or whatever, as then there will be servers running the game vanilla and others run all the new stuff and people can decide what they like without being forced into some new gamechanging mechanic.

There is no reason to argue against it as it is a feature that makes the game better. Anyone saying it would not be needed is clearly a troll, a tryhard or a retard... or most likely all three.

Instead of punishing people for hopping - think about a fair benefit people could get for not hopping a server.

Yeah - true though. Yesterday me and my buddy were at the military camp at Stary Sobor - when he suddenly got killed. No gunshot was heard (maybe a silenced weapon) allthough I was only a few tents away from him. I then snuck out the tent, circled around the camp and found the killer looting his body. I aimed my cz shot 3 times and hit... guess what - suddenly Session lost. No warning of server shut down was displayed before. When I could log into the server 10 minutes later - both bodies were gone and I didn't have a murder. This was freaking fishy imo - might be some admin got butthurt and pulled the plug? Just asking...

That is not the point. Playing at night was fun before it got bugged - and I know there is a handfull of people here that are talented at screaming really really loud that this mistake is actually good. Still they are just a few capable of screaming the loudest and afraid people could find out that those guys are in fact the minority. So missing half the game because of a bug? nope - rather fix the bug and let people enjoy all the game.

I had this filmic lighting bug with an earlier version of the beta already. I was told in the forums to switch back to an older version which kinda fixed it. Today I play again to find this bug reimplemented even with the new patch. I join a server and the screen is pitch black with a little trace of gray in the sky. Unable to identiy trees, fences, houses, anything. Unable to even move properly as you can run against a fence for some hours without noticing. I am a great fan of this mod and it is amazing work you guys did. Still this night-thing was a really bad move(bug?). I don't even see how people find anything good about it but I am almost certain those that are screaming "this is so cool" have either some sort of weird aimbot-auto-target-low-graphics-model-hack or some weird pro graphic designer screen that just lets them adjust the game so they might be able to see at least something at all. As we all know chemlights, flares and flashlights are not really a valid option. They might be handy at rare times but using them constantly - you can aswell just kill yourself - and I am not even talking about zombies. Apropos... I tried moving around a bit in this dark soup of nothingness and noticed that while I was unable to see even one meter in front of me, I had one point at the "visibility-eye". Means even though I was unable to see anything zombies could see me quite good. Means towns are not a valid option to go to. So no towns at night, still a black forest where you run against every tree does not sound so much fun to me either... So to keep it constructive: Eyes get used to light after a while - implement THAT first. Then you can mess up the lightning like this patch did. This is not only far more realistic but also gives you some more options like, throwing a flare at someone to blind him and "steal his darkness-adaption". Maybe implement flashbangs and stuff... as right now I am running around like I was just blinded by some enormous lightsource and this is far from realistic.

Hey to those retards flaming OP - why don't you play real hardcore and turn off your screen? Fucking pussies... The nights are fucked up - 3/4 of the screen is pitch black the rest is some grey sky. No point in going anywhere as any zombie would easily eat you without you having any chance. Throw a flare? Yeah sure why not tell the whole server your location, drop your weapon and wait to be "rescued"... some people are just morons. Oh and edit says... If you wanna keep it realistic - eyes get used to darkness after a while. Implement that shit before turning off the lights completely and call it "realistic".

Haha - respawned near cherno, me and my buddy got picked up by a sniper in 3 minutes. After respawning again near cherno - same story. Spawning without a weapon is ridiculous so NO! Reducing mags to 2 is however a nice idea.
