I have similar lag problems, and definitely FPS problems. It's a known DayZ issue that many servers have. Look for completely different server (and use the most recent arma2 beta patch!!!) Servers that require the beta (98616, 98666 or 98701+) are the best and have the least lag.

Jennifer Lopez. ... seriously, why would you even care?

To all those hackers claiming they were "testing" security holes: You're lying, and your bullshit spewing makes me sick. I mean lots of us don't really test all the time, we're having a good time with this mod; we won't deny that and we love Rocket for it. But according to your claims, IF you were actually testing, you would have written a proof of concept hack, tested it ONCE or TWICE on an empty server (or far away from people), recorded it, and mailed it to @dayzdevteam Instead, you hacked and griefed like motherfuckers.

Dayzdevteam needs to do something about the nights being so long and dark. 5x time acceleration would help a lot (2 hours day, 1 hour dusk/dawn, 1 hour night). With 96701, the nights are now sometimes 99% pitch black for me (Gamma 1.0 Brightness 0.9). This may or may not be a bug, but I could just as well turn off my monitor. With everyone playing on intercontinental or timezone-tweaked servers, I'd say the "realistic nights experiment" has, for now, failed. I grew up in the countryside and I know that nights can be dark, especially with no light pollution; but just like you can cure your broken ankle with a shot of morphine for the sake of playability, in this anti-game, the nights might as well be brighter and/or shorter.

How is spawning illegal stuff in the game different from cheating? EDIT: Oh it's that same guy - sorry for the spam. @Kiven: You have been refunded yet again. You're welcome. Don't expect any fucks though, none are given.

You have just been refunded every penny you paid for DayZ.

Don't hoard vehicles, and don't place your stuff off-map.

DON'T BUY THIS. The graphics card is not a gaming card, it's a mid-range desktop card. Arma2/DayZ will run like utter crap on this, if at all.

Just discard all loot saved outside of the map (or even close to the edges) on the database side. Problem solved. :-) Drain 10 hp per second while outside the main map (radiation ... or something?)

Thanks for reaffirming this, JustAnotherRegis. :-)

directX hooks might yield too many false positives, I doubt BattleEye would ban globally for it (but kicks / local bans might be possible) But FUD runs high since the global ban thing (because so many people claim to be innocent and for people who don't know the "Process", ironically kafkaesque as it is, there is now way to know whether these people are actually guilty or not - only hoping that the at the current time somewhat trolly dayz staff is correct in its authority) :-) this is more of a hypothetical problem, and as a programmer I'd say an app cannot reliably identify whether a hook is just for screen capture or the injection of info, so turning the FPS overlay off should look all the same to BattleEye. tl,dr; Kudos for banning a lot of cheaters, may there be no false positives, ever.

Best. Post. Ever. :D

Yep it's true. I noticed it myself (absolutely no loot near my spawns). It's good. Makes the game interesting and curbs server hopping big time. I also admit I liked to log off in good loot locations for an easier start on next login with a nice loot chance. Hated myself for it, it felt wrong, borderline exploiting. It's BETTER this way now.

Yep, pretty much "run", "forest", and more "run". :)

Yeah you'd probably die from the flood of PMs if they were enabled now. :)

Set the server so it requires Beta 96701 or so. Then there will only be talk in Direct, no spam talk possible. But it's very useful for direct chat. The times are okay, almost perfect. But they mean I will always play in broad daylight, never at dawn or dusk. :-)

Why is voice disabled on the server now? Totally misses the point of the mod to have to chat in direct when one could just holler. BUT: I can still press my PTT button and a microphone appears, so is this false info? Also, inverse time is a bit suboptimal because it means you only play nights on weekends (when you log on during the noon hours). Most of us Germans would prefer UTC-4 or +8 actually, if we spent some time thinking about it.

Spoiled arrogant whiny crybabies.

No weapon = more gameplay, just as no matches = more gameplay, no hatchet = more gameplay, no ammo = more gameplay. Gameplay in this game = sneaking and looting. With or without weapons. I think you should start with the Vest Pouch or, better, no Bag at all. Because... No bag = more gameplay.

no proof, no conviction; anyone could be shooting down servers by starting witchhunts against their admins.

Not if you already used it all up, or your scream attracted a bunch of hungry zeds looking for love.

Puh-leeez! Today is my last day before my GF comes for the weekend. I want to do manly zombie apocalypse survival stuff. ;-)
