I have to check out your server. Right up my alley.

When I play (currently playing experimental) and the server is on nighttime I get a weird lighting effect. The lighting will change from darkness to almost light and back again, like the game can't determine the lighting condition. I think where I am looking has something to do with the lighting change. I did a search on the forums, reddit and bug tracker but can't find someone else having similar issues. Any ideas? Ron

Thanks for all the replies guys. I wasn't sure if it was just me or was happening to others. When experimental isn't the same patch number as stable I strictly play on UK - 4 and there was where this lighting effect was taking place. I just wanted to be assured it wasn't just my system or settings. Actually Danny Dog and Max the Survivor are both right. I have both of those. The light to darker coming in and out and the seeming perpetual dusk or dawn.

I have been playing with Vision 3d for a while now. All of a sudden Battleye has been blocking a file from Vision 3d. The file being blocked is NVSCapi.dll. Why all of a sudden? As a result I can no longer play in 3D. I am reinstalling Dayz as I write this. Any technical support would be appreciated. I realize not a lot of people use Vision 3d. EDIT: Issue solved. It was the damn new nvidia driver. Rolled back to previous one and 3d is working fine.

I don't think this is really a bug issue so I figured I'd ask it here, I play Dayz with Nvidia 3d vision. Awesome by the way. However, there is a graphic issue with the new patch (.60). The reflected light and shadows almost look like decals. They sought of pop out from the scenery a little bit. So do the stars at night. Is there some setting I could use to prevent this?

I've looked for the answer doing the standard search. Can't find anything on this. I play on US 436 Hardcore server vanilla. Every time I play I keep seeing the heli fly over. One time it actually took me out. I asked the other players (usually not a lot as it's a 1PP server) they said they didnt kill me. This has gotten me befuddled. Thanks for any answers. Just be clear, this isnt a mod of the mod like epoch or origins, It is vanilla mod.

Thank you Lt Dan for the info and thread. At first I thought it was hackers since the heli always seemed to fly around where I was. Also I have been killed by (I assume NPCs) now that I read that thread. Again thought it was hackers because with only 2 players on the server it was too coincidental I was found and killed. Now I really have to be on my toes. Hellava fun time though. I just wish there were populated 1PP servers. I just cant get myself to play 3PP either on the mod or SA. 3PP is just too overpowered. It gives absolutely no solid chance for stealthiness. At least in 1 PP everyone is risking the same. Oh well, I'm in a minority.

Duh, nothing. It's an inanimate object. :)

With the new stealth I was able to crawl up to the back of a cow and kill it with an axe. Stay prone until you are right behind the cow. Havn't tried it with Z's yet.

I finally found one and what a pisser. Unfortunately I drove off the map, the truck disappeared, I kept going and all it said was "You are dead." It was a fun 10 minutes while it lasted. Can anyone say, "Fresh respawn?"

I myself don't believe in KOS. That is what I choose. However I also have common sense and stay away from kill zones and travel stealthily. I hardly ever run into other players. Have I? Of course. Whose fault was it? Mine of course because I f$%#$% up. Do I want to see KOS end? Hell no. Without it my heart wouldn't thump everytime I happen to see another player. I love it. I will never ever feel sympathy for someone who changes who they are. I am a lone wolf friendly player. Period. That is how I play and will always play. My whole goal is to see how long I can survive. Will I kill? Yes, but only if I have to. If someone has the drop on me it is their rules. If someone helps me I appreciate that. I will never ever ever shove it up their arse. I am me and no one will ever cause me to change me into something I'm not. Thank you KOSers for making my game phenomenal. Keep on being dicks. Don't ever give up. All your antisocial behavior scares the bejesus out of me.

Basically the title says it all. I am looking for a truly stealthy player (slow and boring to most). It would probably be boring to most viewers. Some obscure YTer or streamer you came across maybe. Not a lot of followers or viewers. Anyone?

Watched it. Really liked it. Please make more. TY

Ill checkout MrBlackOut. I hope somebody feels the way I do and will be encouraged to put up some videos.

Thanks Nexventor, I will check it out

Closest I have come to seeing a little bit of what I want was a female streamer from Serbia(?) named VanillaGremlin. She was playing lone wolf, not exactly stealthy, but it was fun watching it anyway. At least it wasn't all about hanging around the church in Elecktro BSing or having a fashion show. I don't understand why people want to watch the same thing over and over. It bores me. I want to see someone play the game like their life depended on it. I'm in the minority. So be it. Guess I just have to go play the game. Seriously, sometimes I just like to watch.

Yeah Jubie, I used to watch your stream a lot. People can be such pricks. Can't have fun you know. Leave you happy and having fun? Can't have none of that. Jubie, let me know if you put up any vids on youtube. I promise I'll watch them.

Wow i wish I had known about your channel, I definitely would have been there.

Back during the mod days I watched a gentleman for hours playing stealthily, like his life depended on surviving. He did like a 100 videos. I watched for hours. Found it exciting and immersive. He wasnt even a real good player. There are a few people out there who feels this way I'm sure. Havn't yet found a similar youtuber for SA unfortunately. Maybe one day.

Thanks Kichilron, I figured as much. I just get tired of the same old same old. Spawn in, run around, get kitted, go kill. Suicide if not in an ideal loot location. For once I would like to watch a player who immerses him/herself in the role of a person who thinks he has only the one life and will act accordingly. Oh well. Worth a shot. Edit: I don't find this sought of play boring. I find the same old boring. If you've seen one you've seen them all it seems.

Guys, In any argument, time playing the game, is irrelevant. In another thread I was accused of not playing the game enough to make any sort of suggestion. I think he said I had 168 hours. I'll take his word for it. That's 7 straight 24 hour days. I've played single campaigns in games way shorter than this amount of time. The amount of time a player has in a game should not matter. What should matter is, does he play the game at all? Otherwise his opinion is strife with assumptions or based on someone elses opinion.

I think maybe I have come up with an idea that allows us to ask these two questions. How many zombies have you killed? How many people? The old stats system from the mod. They remain hidden except to the owning player period. If you are approached and asked to see those stats we would then be able to reveal those stats to another. In the Walking Dead these questions revealed the trustworthiness (likely) of a potential group invite. People are liars in the game and will not tell the truth. Those who would want to be part of a good group would tell the truth. To avoid the advantage of the baddie stats would have to be revealed. Example: Player A, a survivalist, wants to be part of a group because he thinks it safer. Player A runs into Player B. Player A should never trust Player B. In the system now-Are you friendly? Yes. Little while later Player B backstabs player A. In this new system - simulated asking those two questions - Are you friendly? Prove it, show me your stats. You both show each other those stats. What is discovered upon being revealed. A.) player B trustworthy by his stats - 30 zombies killed - 2 players killed B.) Player B unknown - 0 zombies killed - 0 players killed (freshspawn?) ; or 25 zombies killed , 10 players killed C.) Player B untrustworthy - 10 zombies killed - 30 players killed It won't prevent KOS but it will, I believe, mitigate it to some degree. In reality because of body language etc. sometimes a persons attitude can be revealed. In a game impossible. What do you guys think? Viable? Why or why not.

Was this totally necessary? I think it is a good idea. Is it the greatest since sliced bread? I think not. Why do you feel you need to insult me by calling me close minded? I'm defending my idea. What a cesspool this forum has become. I am so tired with having to deal with insults every other thread. Seeya all later.

I believe I have defined and described this suggestion sufficiently. If you wish to discuss it further, feel free. I will be following but I will not repeat my explanations any further. If you have something new I will respond. To me the issue is dead. Overwhelming majority doesn't want anything like this. So be it. Not being able to trust anyone ever is kind of boring. Since I believe the goal of Dayz is to survive I guess I stay being a Lone wolfer. Because the only two ways to stay alive without being griefed killed is to travel alone not trusting anyone and travelling in a large group not trusting anyone. Grief kill=being unrealistically killed even after helping someone. Pyschologically, it's hard to kill even for righteous reasons. Killing for fun is damaging to pysche. This is not portrayed in games nor do I want such a complex issue portrayed.
