can anyone help? my regular character crashed one day down near elektro so when i got back into the game, it seem my character kept walking right out off the dock and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. it wont let me respawn, it says i'm dead, but i can still hit tab to see my inventory and stuff. every time i come back into the game, i have all my guns still but keep getting dropped into the water. is there any fix i can do? i was hoping after this patch it would fix it, but no. my hardcare character is loaded and i really dont want to have to re-install. i will try that if i have to after i die in hardcore though if thats the only thing that will fix it. please help! PS i searched, but couldnt find a clear answer. thank you

zombies are a bit too fast in my opinion. i'm all for having them be more of a threat, but when you are running with a weapon and they are running faster than you, thats a bit much. i realize they are infected and not rotting dead, but still its too much. at least make them a tad slower than us so if you are not paying attention they can still get you easily.

i will update this thread if and when i do re-install. i'm going to play hardcore and will probably die since i'm lone wolfing it. thats a bit disheartening that you've been stuck there for a month....

i noticed after trying experimental for the first time that it seems much faster in terms of moving around and less lag when free looking and stuff. i also notice my frames werent taking as much of a hit in cities. anyone else seeing that too?

i did, but if it mentions faster frames, i may have missed it. i skimmed through it at best.

love the sig and avatar Rhodes! the best bad guy in the Romero trilogy, by far. "choke on it!"

that is an awesome idea... how about a sports stadium? that would be a great place for standoffs and stuff.

i prefer hardcore as well for the simple fact that you cant peek around stuff. just my opinion though.

Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns 5h Discovered what could be one of the major causes of FPS slowdowns on client in cities. Will report on progress later #DayZDaily cause i sure am. nice to hear some optimization is happening this early!

didnt rocket tweet a few weeks back that his dev team have been in contact with some hardware manufacturers and they apparently have given input on how to get more out of the engine with newer hardware or something?....i'm gonna go see if i can dig that up... edit: ok i found this here... Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns Significant changes in testing on internal version today. Major graphics optimization for clients in testing, major server optimization also he goes on to say: Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns Feb 12 @panzerschreckDE engine optimization, based on feedback from hardware manufacturers on their assessment of our usage of their hardware

does anyone know if we will get more varied stages of zombies like "freshly dead and pale" all the way to "gaunt and decayed and slow moving"? wasnt sure if the current zombies are placeholders or if they will all be fast movers. thanks

also another thought on zombies...i think they would be a much bigger threat if you had to shoot them in the head or beat them over the head.

yeah, i want to see some bloody ones coming at us. imagine searching a building at night and turn the corner only to see a rotten face with blood around the mouth starin' at you!

damn...i was hoping for some classic Romero style zombies and "walking dead" types when you see a zombie way off in the distance before they see you, they are doing the classic "zombie walk" which makes me think they are dead and not just infected people.

wow, thats good news! seeing rocket's reply it appears that they are addressing the low % that the GPU is used in graphically intense areas. this is very good, me thinks

is there any way to see what the IP and port numbers are of a server you are currently playing in? my problem is sometimes, when the server resets, and i go to join again, it wont do it automatically and i have to just jump on another one. thanks

after the patch, my game was running like shit on my custom video settings, so i hit the "Normal" option for the video config to auto configure my machine and it changed it to an odd resolution (88%) of my native resolution along with everything on "normal" and the rendering on the low-normal end. the game looks amazing and runs better than ever after doing that and letting the game decide whats best, i was shocked. does anyone know if this is something in the new patch? thanks

1920x1080 now, but i was setting it lower previously to 1280x720 in my custom setup...maybe its looking at that and reducing it to 88%? for as low as it is, it doesnt appear that way in game. sure its not as crisp as 1080, but the performance increase is substantial and it still looks very pretty.

what does the -winxp parameter do exactly? does it degrade the image quality at all? thanks

i have two desktop PCs in my house and figured i'd try to get the 2nd one capable of playing dayz so my brother can come over and play with me. is this possible? i installed the game on both, but will my brother need a login for steam because it doesnt look like it will let me sign in on both PCs at the same time under my login. this leads me to the next question...if i was able to play with both online at the same time, should there be any problems getting onto the same server being that we are both under the same router IP address? wasnt sure if that would be looked at as a possible hacker to the server or anything. thanks in advance!

they're dead...they're all messed up...

i have found that by simply lowering my resolution from 1920x1080 to 1024x768 i was able to run everything else on medium-high with all the rendering turned on and stuff and achieve 30-50 fps almost everywhere. the only time it dips into the upper 20s is in certain areas of the woods where there is a lot of tree shadows to render and obviously in the apartment complex area of Cherno. the game looks beautiful at the expense of a little crispness, but i dont mind that

ok, i had my buddy sign up on steam and download the game, so when i see he's online in steam and playing, i try to "join game" but it says the server isnt responding. so i copied the ip address and launched DayZ and chose "remote" and added the server address in manually and it let me in. am i missing something to do this easier? thanks

ok, thank you for the input! :)

i did try that, but we get the message "server not responding"...
