What kind of graphics card does that thing have?

Last night I got hit with the "No message received for xx seconds" thing until I got disconnected. There were also a few spikes of red/yellow connection issues. Sometimes these things rear up...most of the time I've had no issues.

Vyktar, what is your current FPS like? What are your current graphics options set to in DayZ?

GIVE ME YOUR BEANS!!!!!!!!!!

Search around on these forums and also google "ARMA 2 performance tips"...lots of different tricks for upping frames per second.

Turning shadows to "Normal" puts the load on the CPU. Keeping shadows at High or above keeps the load on the GPU. So, even though it's counter-intuitive, you'll want shadows on High (unless you can turn them right off...can't remember if "Off" is an option for shadows).

The BIS Beta is the ARMA 2 Beta patch...instructions can be found in the install guide in this forum.

Is the Radeon 6850 a dual-gpu card? Download a program like GPU-Z and ensure that DayZ is making use of your GPU(s)...

Install and run the game using the beta patch...instructions are on these forums for using the beta patch.

I like the current mechanics just fine regarding PvP. I've had plenty of "random" encounters that lead to me and someone else teaming up.

Do you have the Beta patch installed? Have you tried reinstalling DayZ/updating it with Worrom's? www.worrom.com

Also, try using the ARMA 2 beta patch. Instructions in this guide: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2421

I play with the music off...sound is too important in this game.

Or use Worrom's installer? www.worrom.com

Hmm. Dunno, haven't seen this problem before. This is on a laptop?

Yeah, when changing your motherboard, a clean install normally works best. What version of Windows are you running?

YES This is what Alpha state is for - trying out concepts and seeing what works. This will make the beginning stages even more intense.

Sounds like good changes to the zombie AI. Seems they'll have an easier time noticing players, but players should have an easier time losing the horde (you can hide on them now). A big step forward!

Yeah, this is something to worry about for the final version of the game...not in the Alpha... it'd be nice to have some variety though, yeah.

I offer 10 cans of beans for this Binocular Vector. And a Mountain Dew.

Yeah, the map could actually stand to be a little smaller, given that most of it is just forests/plains. A map about a quarter the size with some more detailed cities......but I understand why this isn't available at this time.

The grass is kinda frustrating because it only "hides" you at short range. Anybody in the medium-to-long range can see you just fine, because the grass draw distance isn't very far. They should just disable it for now to give everyone's FPS a boost.

What they all said..the laggy weird issues stink. The gear menu is quite frustrating...clicking stuff around takes a while to take effect and can lead to massively FUBARing your inventory if you go all clicky-clicky.
