Lol, I drank from the ocean. Considering it should be salt water, maybe that was a bad idea? Idea: I would love a game guide at some point. A detailed do's and don'ts on stuff like this. Mostly because I love guides, lol. It would be great if these things were logical, so that you could easily guess (like don't drink salt-water), but a lot of the games I have played have been just the opposite, completely illogical. This game could really rock if the realism aspect was ampted up! You wouldn't need a guide either, if these things were obviously realistic. I read somewhere you can tear your shirt up to make bandages, which sounded awesome, but not sure if that was a joke :P

Finally got it working by putting in 1.0 Not 100% sure it's correct, found several, but at least then I got my darned feedback sent in, so seemed to be the right one.

Lol! Like in Resident Evil, last couple of games? I haven't run into any zombies on my Alpha version yet, but hoping they are relatively slow, and more old-fashioned zombie like. Not Res 1-3 version, but not 28 days later-ish either. Your description of them sounds terrifying, considering the little time I got to play before the server connection flopped was a tiny crowbar that hardly moved when I pressed mouse button. I think I'll just run like hell, either way.

Nice to hear of friendly players around! Cool first encounter description :D

Keep getting kicked from servers, so hard to tell. But the few minutes I'm allowed to play are interesting. It gets really dark at night. At first I wanted to complain about it, then I kind of liked the eerie atmosphere it caused. Got actually kind of scared when I couldn't see shit and expected pouncing players and/or zombies behind every bush. So, conclusion, annoying that I can see so little, but cool the way it intensifies the fear. Otherwise, okay graphics, really wish it could have been better, but then again, it's so dark it's not really the most fair judgment. Maybe it looks a lot better in daytime. But unless I figure out the server issue, I won't be able to play it, so working on that.

Same problem after buying Dayz alpha version on Steam. It says receiving, then receiving no new messages, then count down up to around 60 before kicking me off the server. Sounds similar to your issue? Anyone know anything about this weirdness? Would appreciate a hint. The hints I've seen on this so far is basically switch server and check firewall/antivirus settings.

I have this problem as well, on an almost completely new computer that has been cleaned well and proper! Experiencing no problems playing other MMOs. And really dislike to install new programs if avoidable, so would like to not have to install CCcleaner if it can be handled in another way. Anyone have any other suggestions, or know what is causing this problem? It happened after about 10 minutes of gaming time, and first there was a count down, with some error message about "no messages seen" or something. It counted up to 62, then just kicked me from the server.. And I did sit in the lobby for a while first, because I fixed my default character, checked out that everything was fine with the audio and video, etc.

I kind of get it. Being a lesbian girl, I had to play through the Mass Effect series as a male, in order to get the romance I wanted. It really does something to the realism, when you hear the character you are RPing conversing in a male voice with the woman you like. Almost felt like I was doing drag or something. So instead of being able to RPit as me, I RPd it as "my male Shepard". Not quite the same, especially when my male Shepard cried out Steeeeeve in a dramatic voice, and I realised he had fallen for the guy Steve something (last game in the triology). I tore my hair out having to choose that as his final romance, out of guilt that I was selfishly forcing him to be with someone he didn't love. Apparently, Steve was cooler than "my" Jack ( a woman, for those who haven't played it). (An expl. I played it with my sister, side by side, and her Shepard didn't even blink when Steve went down, whilst my Shepard cried out in panic. Making it damned hard to ignore) So yeah, def. more fun to RP as your own gender!

You people (who do this, I know there's a lot of you) do realize that if people don't play, eventually they'll give it up? Is killing newbies really such a good idea, making it seem like a game full of ass-holes? Not to mention it's completely dishonorable! Doesn't seem tough or cool, just moronic. If you had tackled another player, both of which carried good weapons, it'd be something more to brag of, but this is just silly. "Yey, I beat a polite newbie to death, yay me for being cool". *gags* I don't play it this way. Sure, I defend myself, and might even take on someone if he has good stuff I desperately need (survival of the fittest, it's a jungle out there), but ganking newbies? Not cool, man. Let them at least get an overview of the game mechanics, and grow a chance to win a fight. That's when it gets interesting.
