I've been using the VSS since 59 hit stable, ( got really lucky on my first heli sighting) Havent found another since . However, after doing a lot of testing and even reported this on the exp boards Animals do not hear the gun being fired directly at them if you miss. Zombies dont hear it at all either . But players can hear it from a good distance away still . Maybe something changed since christmas eve . which was the last time I played , or your particular guns are bugged ?

This guy ^ was amazing, and we had a Flawless trade. :) Definitely recommend dealing with him in the future . Was even nice enough to meet me on the opposite side of the map from where he was, while I tried to resolve some performance issues .

try playing around with your depth of field settings

So my decent pc died and i'm stuck using .. well lets say a sub par system... Plagued by the dual core bug is my main problem But after a little scavenging of my older but still better systems . I have upgraded my video card and now have 3 times the FPS i had before . I added more RAm so I've gone from 4gigs to 6 . It originally had : Operating System: Windows Vista™ Business Service Pack 2 System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard System Model: HP Compaq dc5800 Small Form Factor (motherboard ) BIOS: Default System BIOS Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz Memory: 3566MB RAM I have added two more gigs of ram ,Later I can downloaded either windows 10 or windows 7 to install on here once the hardware is finished . my question is , Can I upgrade the CPU from the current Dual Core to a quad core Intel 108 i5-760 2.86ghz/8m/09b L024B445And if so would this resolve the current known Duo Core bug ? I cant seem to google my way through this like I normally would.

Also , welcome to DayZ. Welcome to the only game that will ever make you feel like you need medication for stress , paranoia and anxiety attacks .

likely a anti virus issue, disable anti vir and firewalls , uninstall / reinstall the game

If its at the back of your head and not behind your eyes, Logic would imply it could do with posture. Either way I would strongly suggest first seeing a doctor and getting his opinion . and perhaps getting your eyes checked.

Couple issues I need help confirming. 1: Heat shots on animals does not seem to work . Meaning you do not get the damage bonus. Testing this is hard to do , given its nature . But I've tried twice now with a 9mm and 45 pistols on cattle, and female elk. Once with 22 on a hog. None of these lower cal weapons can be used to one shot a larger animal with a head shot as they should. 2: sporter 22 requires 3 shots to the head to kill a zombie , While the Amphibia S .22 pistol only requires one shot to the head to kill properly

Its all about shot placement . I've gone out with other hunters with high cal 30-06 or 308 type rifles, And watch them lung shot deer or hogs, and have to chase them for hours to track them down Where as I , with my 22lr or 17hmr ( depending on locations) Have always been able to drop my target where it stood. The key to doing so is first and foremost , shot placement , Knowing the skulls of your target, And secondly never takeing a shot your not 100% sure of . Deer and hogs, depending on angel is right behind the ear or at the base of the skull where it meets the spine . Turkey , where the neck meets the body, ( spinal shot , where its most still ) Rabbits, Earlobe or between the eyes, Squirrel , eye ball THe reason i adopted this practice , is for one it more humane , and two , as I hunt for meat and not sport, It damages none of the meet where a heart or lung would.

Trust me I know all about proper shot placement . I am very adamant in trying to follow any updates in regards to this information from the Devs when it comes to player kills and body zones. As I do not always prefer to kill players when i shoot them , In the mod days I was a rather big troll when it came to using the DMR to snipe people from far away , aiming for leg breaks only, leaving them to crawl for miles through the open fields lol The current issue I have been testing with animals . Is that they dont seem to have any zones to place a shot in , with the right gun ( lets say a VSS ) you will kill them no matter where you hit them , head , ass, heart. Its just a calculater of [X dmg ] vs [X health] , The head shots don't work , and they will not bleed out over time , This is a major issue in my opinion that will need to eventually be address for survivalist ,. If say you find yourself in a situation where let's say you only have a 5.54 and you manage to shoot a Bull Elk or cow with a couple shots, but the total damage your weapon does is still less than the total HP the animal has , let's say it hypothetically , let the animal with two wounds and 5 HP remaining. The animal will run , likely faster then you can keep up. IF it does not bleed out , it will eventually i suppose reset , and return to full health ( i have no way of testing this at the moment ) . Same for the off chance of a leg shot , the animal should not be able to run at full speed when you shoot it in the leg , or hip. These things could be overkill right now for hunting, but could prove vital once we get predators . Would hate to face a bear right now with something like a RAK or MP5 ...

I love cold winter servers. Just fits the game better in my opinion . My current testing involves figuring out if boiling water also purifies it . Hopefully it does, or will someday soon. Would also be nice if the broth after cooking meat would add more then just hydration when you drink , like soda does now

Headshots have always worked for me , I've hunted both deer and hogs with little more than a 22 LR or 17 HMR Its all about shot placement

Has anyone found fish nets since 0.59? I must have ran the coast 7 or 8 times by now , When i manage to actually find a boat, it typically has no more than one clothing item , and thats it . If you guys aren't finding them either , plz upvote this one for me (issue id 0028821 ) https://feedback.dayz.com/view.php?id=28821

I'm not sure if this is in the code yet, But this is my take on cooking so far ( fyi its the only way I'll eat in Days ) Cooking and harvesting/farming Cooking on a stick = Smoked or dried out meat / plants , Which reduces hydration value but increases duration of time before it would spoil . Gives a darker dryer look ( works on all fires, fireplaces ) Cooked in Pot = Boiled , increases hydration value . gives a glossed brown effect on meat. Can not cook fish this way. ( only works on fireplace, cooking tripod, gas stove and burn barrel ) Frying pan = Can cook all meat and fish , requires Lard (Only works on fireplaces ,burn barrels, gas stove ) You can eat cooked Lard. Lard never over cooks ---------------------- All meats can double as heat packs on cold nights. Guts can be reheated , and re used as heat packs on cold nights, Status of guts does not matter for this effect. Guts can be converted to rope ( glitch) by adding and removing to long stick to craft fishing road or bow several times . Only wild Boar leather can be converted into a improvised backpack without being tanned. ( gives no extra slots over the burlap version)

Just send me a message when evers good for you . My ammo is at camp which will take me a while to run to then back to a meeting place

9mm i have tons of , where would you like to meet tomorrow ?

what would you like in return ?

Need some help collecting netting , Not for ghillie or typical use. There are some bugs I found with the fish trap that I have to get more confirmation on so i can report it and get it resolved. I have not had any luck whatsoever finding any nets since 0.59 experimental .....

I got you covered , for military tent

Works just fine with a cooking pot or pan

List of things I want you to try , That will help determine the root cause of your issue. Just follow the steps for one of you long standard game play sessions and report your results . Play on a low/empty pop 3pp server Nighttime , Turn gamma and brightness up so the game is in Black and white for you Set Render 80% Head bob off FOV as wide as it will go Rotational blur off bloom off Try to maintain a 30+ FPS Jog/Walk dont sprint Use Alt to look around , rather than moving entire body. Spend your time doing something relaxing , like working on your camp , going deer hunting, Or simply running down the coast line for netting . Make sure to adjust the brightness of your monitor , And make sure there are no lights on in your house with in your peripheral vision . This should basically test all the possible game related issues at once.

what about 6 ?

open to trades ?
