What are your PC/CPU/GPU specs? I.E. how much RAM do you have, what kind/how many processors (dual/quad/etc) do you have at what speed (2ghz/3ghz/etc) and what kind of GPU and what model (graphics card) do you have (nvidia/radeon/etc) and how much dedicated memory (memory that the graphics card has itself, not counting "shared memory" which means it sucks up memory from your pc) does it have (512mb/1gb/2gb/etc)? If you are just having problems due to your graphics card not being compatible then you don't need to "buy a new pc" as some other people have suggested, you just need to upgrade your graphics card. You can get a nvidia gpu with 2gb dedicated memory for pretty cheap these days, 100 bucks give or take.

Well, actually it's in Alpha not Beta, which means its still in a very early stage of testing basically. I wrote a guide for new players specific to the DayZ SA Alpha which may help you, linked in May sig below. Welcome to the Apocalypse!

That's strange because some of his videos and his own posts seem to indicate him doing exactly what he claims he doesn't. Also, for someone who so clearly dislikes as you put it, ...well...I don't wanna point out the obvious here...That is that "code of honor" you claim to have seems to be subject to change as you see fit, which I could be wrong but doesn't seem like how a code of honor works. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. How you play is your prerogative. No need to defend yourself but it just seems a little hypocritical from my point of view.

Your name is KoS and you're a bandit yourself. You do the exact same thing in DayZ mod and even brag about it so by your own definition wouldn't that also make you a ?So...you don't like being on the receiving end of the same stuff you do but it's only lame and "douchey" when other people do it? Seems a little hypocritical.

Personally, I would've gone with the always classy duckroll. Not surprised anyway. I've never heard of Steam accidentally giving games away. On some rare occasions they discount a game lower than it should be which is usually fixed within the hour.

This should familiarize you with a few changes in SA as well. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156472-survivors-guide-to-dayz-sa/

Rocket has already talked about combat logging. It's going to be addressed. Everyone just needs to stop getting their panties in a bunch and be patient. There's a lot of work going on under the hood as well. Once a logout/dc delay/cooldown is implemented then everyone can be "friendly" to all the coasties they want with impunity.

So...you're friendly but because people are logging out before you can be "friendly" to them, you're killing them now? Well...makes sense to me!

Well. If you read it, it basically warns you that KoS or backstabbing for loot is likely to happen. That's why I said "player diplomacy" with the ominous quote marks.

Well, it's got a whole lot of views so that's good. If we can convince just one new player not to just randomly run around the coast... :P

Lol, most unintentionally hilarious post award. I wrote a Survivor's Guide for DayZ SA (in my sig), might be handy. There's a section on "player diplomacy."

I can do a bad accent and quote Monty Python.

I already saw a PVE server in the server list days ago. It's already been done. There are also "RP" servers with specific rules when it comes to KoS'ing.

Woah, sounds like a future MLG PRO right there! If he's between the ages of 11 and 16 too he's perfect MLG material! :P

So...uh...you're friendly but you're mad because you wanted to kill him and he got away? :P If you didn't intend to kill him, then it wasn't really "combat" logging then was it?

Yeah, the apartments are a trap. Just hit up the convenience stores, skip the apartments. You'll starve to death while you comb the floors and only come out with junk. At least for now, the towns are better.

Rocket has already said combat logging would be addressed, before the alpha was even released by timers/cooldowns so when someone tries to logout while you're trying to be friendly they'll be vulnerable while you show them how friendly you are. It's just not implemented yet.

Yeah, loot tables, limited loot and loot not respawning properly unless the server restarts is one thing causing people to hop. Once we have private server hives for SA if you're worried about hoppers you can join a private hive and problem solved.

Yeah, playing the game and having fun is great but before everyone continues making long-winded rants about how some feature hasn't been implemented yet, something isn't working, KOS'ers, combat loggers, server hoppers, etc, etc... Don't forget the point of the Alpha, to thoroughly test the game (not just the airfields and military camps) provide constructive feedback, bug reports and so on. For instance I've found several entities out of place in small towns, like garbage cans stuck in the middle of walls or floating in the air and other stuff like that. I encourage everyone to have fun but I just think a lot of people are getting too bent out of shape about airfields and other things that have already been addressed many times over. I realize that's the nature of game forums but just wanted to point out that playing the game is great but don't forget to contribute usable feedback and while you're playing...test...maybe even take notes. Every time I see another "I'm quitting because of X!" thread it just makes me laugh a little because I've seen open betas and even release titles that were worse than this Alpha is right now.

I think a lot of people either don't care about the tracker and would rather just complain simply because it's easier or some people have just had bad experiences with bug reporting in past games. For those that don't know, Rocket/Dean is very involved with the player community but he can't do everything at once. While we might want certain things fixed first for play purposes like loot/combat logging and other issues there's a lot of stuff under the hood that everyone isn't aware of.

Yeah, but you're already familiar with Chernarus and I'm pretty sure at some point you oogled some online maps yourself. This guy isn't and probably isn't going to find a map anytime soon. Not saying he has to use them, just that it's an option.

I wrote a guide here for new players, for the SA but it partly applies to the mod: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156472-survivors-guide-to-dayz-sa/ There is an "Ultimate" beginner's guide for the DayZ Mod here, I don't know if it really deserves the title "Ultimate" since it's really just a basic guide but it's more oriented to the mod: http://www.mmogames.com/gamenews/5442/the-ultimate-dayz-beginners-guide/ You can also find some helpful information at these links: DayZ Map: (mod) http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Chernarus DayZ Wiki: (DayZ Mod/DayZ SA wiki) http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Mod:DayZ_Mod_Wiki DayZ tips on Reddit (general tips for DayZ mod and DayZ SA) http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1t23cw/dayz_tip_thread/
