kstrife

The two of them that recommended it to me both work up north on a mine site and do 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off so they are away atm ^^ @Mr .k - fair enough @denkart - yeah true @knightmare = most useful thnx +rep if only this site had it @twosheds - the only warning is on the home page and its actually quite easy to not see properly when i pressed 'purchase' i wasnt given such warning or an 'accept' these conditions button ? plus its $30 - if it was 9.99 or something id just leave it but what they are asking for people to test their alpha is steep, young kids play this game and it isnt fair to take advantage of their wallets when they are given x amount by parents and what not and give them such an incomplete experience.

I hate the irony of that response :P

but how is that fair? how do new players have a sense of good or bad towns? where are the land marks? where do you go with out a map ? or sense of direction ? what if i spent another 3 hours looking for these 'towns' and I didnt o_o

So I know every one has their opinions and this game is highly recommended by a lot of individuals and I understand this is an alpha but where is the appeal in this game that every one on steam rushed to buy it? I'm asking here because I'm struggling to find any amusement in this game and I was already ripped off by War-Z. So im going to go ahead and ask some questions before I shelf this game and can put my conscience at ease over the possibility of missing out on something that is potentially fun. But in all fairness at this point I find the game as interesting as watching paint dry - actually I think this is possibly hands down the most boring game i've ever played o_o....... So my issues are as followed... Firstly; after my hour and a half play through in terms of equipment this is what I found. 1) rotten banana 2) crow bar 3) bike helmet 4) screw driver 5) kiwi fruit ( which after 5 mins went 'rotten' ) -_-??? ( This is after searching 20 houses I came up with 5 items 2 of them were found in a garage ) I found whilst playing not only is the environment lifeless but its unrealistic that I only found that much stuff through 20 houses and that at-least every house should have something salvageable. [Reason] In a apocalypse people can only take from their homes what they can carry.... yet every house is as barren as my sex life. Secondly through out this time I did not see one zombie or player in a 38/40... I passed through 2 towns and I'm not sure if zombies auto spawn? or they are free roaming npc's or simply that there is maybe only a dozen on the map at one time or walking around in some massive zombie orgy after the players with firearms, but ffs i dont know i buy a zombie game i expect atleast 1 zombie after 1 and a half hours (again i know its alpha) but hell c'mon ! Thirdly - how the hell are new players suppose to understand where to go with out spawning with at-least a map ? apparently one must 'find' a map which is frustrating as how is one suppose to 'find' something so crucial when 90% of the world is just terrain / hills / forest or with out it at-least spawning near you or giving you a hint to where to find one - summary this game isn't very new player friendly at all and I don't feel like I should have to 'research' the internet for directions over something that should be given to me at-least at the end of the day its still a video game not a chore. Either way there should be a backstory to the character like he went camping and came back and everything has gone to hell - im not sure why we dont spawn with out something other than the clothes on our back anyway. Did god just simply pluck him on the earth and gave him a slight nudge and 'off you go'. All in all commenting on the only feature I thought I liked for at-least the first 30 minutes quickly became a pain. I liked the realism of how you need to eat/drink to survive but it has a downside of being annoyingly demanding. If the game is suppose to be 'realistic' or what not, I believe most of the people on this planet can go hours on end with out feeling hungry whilst running or exercising but my character is in a constant state of starvation and thirst which leads me to ask whether he is some form of dolphin / rossie odonald / human hybrid ? For any one that feels offended by my 'new player' opinion - don't be I admit im shit at the game and it obviously has a very very STEEP learning curve but please someone explain the 'enjoyment' and what im 'missing' because at this point I dont see it and im frustrated that I'm not enjoying it compared to the other people playing. Thank you. Gossip Sloth x0x0

thank you ill give it a shot when im home from work : )

Grabbit - Posted Yesterday, 12:08 AM Hello DayZ Community, I have a mouse bug, where whenever I look around my mouse moves in a sinus like way. Currently I am using a Cyborg RAT7 with the lates driver of the MadCatz Homepage. I have tried every option in the config menu to make my mouse move regular, but it did not work. Every single combination between mouse smoothing, head bobbing and aiming deadzone did not give me any positive results. In every other game my mouse works just fine, so I dont understand why this game is the exception... Is this just an early stage Bug? There are no gamepads or anything like this plugged in. I am thankful for your help! Verex11 Posted Yesterday, 01:46 AM I've noticed that mouse acceleration is permanently on as of now and unable to be turned off. This means that if you try and turn your mouse very quickly it will go slow, and if you ease it left or right gently you tend to whip around a lot faster. I wonder if this could be a contributing factor to your problem. fearer Lt_Zwieback SAME HEREEEEE, registered just to join this thread! ;) Or should I rather :( ... Uh guys, this is the mod section... are we right here? AM I right here?! Are you talking about the mod? kstrife Hey so Iv'e played fps games for years but never arma or dayz and got the standalone as it was recommended by a friend. I have a brand new pc and razer death adder but there is a problem that is making the game unplayable for me in terms of the mouse sensitivity / control. If i look up or down its incredibly fast but if i attempt to move left or right it feels like im a 3 legged elephant stuck in mud.. its jittery uneven and moving diagonally is virtually impossible... ontop of that the mouse accel is ridiculously unpredictable. For example if i practice a smooth movement to my left and do the exact same amount of movement with the same speed a second time and i can end up looking behind me. I saw someone post that having a xbox360 controller attached can cause this problem but I have removed it but the issue is still occurring. Nibiru hey all, So i just purchased DayZ on steam. First of all i want to say that i know it is in alpha, And that im not crying about anything , i just wanna know if there is a temporarily fix for this. Oke lets get to the point. I have this weird Mouse movement , that my head goes up and down really fast. and left to right very slowly. í've tried practically everything, making the x axis faster, y axis faster etc. I just cant solve this issue, I asked other people in my steam list and they say they arent noticing any problems with it. I doubt theres a problem with my mouse since it's brand new , and no problems in other games. ( Roccat XTD ) So can someone help me out? Thanks. PS: never had this issue in the old DayZ, Arma2 or Arma3. Nibiru. HellSnake Posted 17 December 2013 - 06:26 PM I was experiencing exactly the problem you are describing. It was really annoying and made the game unplayable for me. Let me guess: do you have a controller plugged in? If so, try unplugging it from your computer. Worked like a charm for me. Please tell us if that solves your problem too, so I can confirm it was caused by the controller (mine was an Xbox 360 controller) and report this bug so the devs can fix it. yahhzoo Posted 17 December 2013 - 06:34 PM I have this same issue with the mouse sensitivity and I don't have any controllers plugged in. Its not the end of the world and It definitely didn't stop me from playing for hours last night but it is some sort of bug. Hello there, You're not alone. I also find this mouse control annoying. I'll try to more accurately describe the issue: - X and Y axis have seriously different default speed. Hopefully this can still be tuned with the sliders - for some reason, I can NOT turn mouse acceleration off. Button stays on "On". I assume there's some .cfg trick, but I havent tried yet ! - last but certainly not least: there seem to be a mouse speed "cap", which is what makes it the most unbearable for me. I know these might seem "light" issues, and I don't know if it's just how the game is coded or if it's an issue that only affect a few people... but they are what prevent me from playing the game without wanting to kill kitty cats (zombie kitty cats though, don't you worry!) I also have no game controller plugged in that could be conflicting with the controls (first thing I checked !) best, Callyste Edit: Oh, forgot one last point: reticle has that weird freedom of movement on the Y axis, while X axis is fixed. Makes the whole thing even weirder! Is there any Dev's around that can put up an explanation or a suggestion to this problem ? I've searched for hours looking for a explanation to fixing my mouse and the game is unplayable has been since release. I'm looking at getting a refund but I dont want to because im sure its a good game I just wish to play it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.. :(

also mate have you noticed that your movement feels a bit clunky? sometimes i try going through a door way and my model navigates into the door frame and i get stuck or same with moving around corners/objects its like my KB is operating like a joystick up down left and right have a look and see if its happening with that as well

hey mate i posted the same problem http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/155766-unplayable-mouse-problems/ no one has answered me after 24 hours so basically we are screwed if you find a solution please inbox me its unplayable and thanks for describing it as sinus the word was escaping me when trying to describe the issues
