It's in times like these that I find peace and tranquility knowing that no one man is responsible for the creation of a game, not even Rocket. Just like a ship without a captain, the crew wouldn't stop sailing in the middle of the ocean, that won't get them anywhere. I keep wondering how people think game development works. I am in no way an expert but I do know enough to say that even if he was to leave as soon as tomorrow, the entire project wouldn't be doomed. After all, this is peoples work, their livelyhood, and there are several of these people, working on different things side by side, currently overwatched by a Lead Designer: Dean Hall. Without him the team is just that: a team. And they are quite competent as far as i've seen. Besides, i don't even worry that Rocket will be gone completely, but he will have to move on to bigger and better things eventually, and IMO we will all gain from that in the long run, by having a library of Rocket's games, rather than just his survival vision.... Mountaineering game anyone???

Can you maybe share with us your specs? I've been thinking for a while now that it might be rig-dependent. (ie. if your computer is seriously bottlenecking at the hdd or something, this might give you an increase, otherwise no).

Confirming yet again. Last time my ssd (Dayz is not on this, but my win7 64bit is) wouldn't show up on the list of drives, so i couldn' t boot for ~5 min. Only happens when exiting DayZ.

Oh maan... I was really hoping to find some answers in this thread :(

Im gonna go ahead and ask a question that might be a little dumb: If i rollback my version to stable, will i have to download update again to play experimental, or does it save both versions? (i only have 100gb/month)

So i managed to get a mosin and paint it green before i died of starvation. (Bad decision following the huge crowd north along the shore for a good amount of time, but fun none the less) Too dark to get a decent screenshot, but it's a little vague in the color (judging from inv view), but it makes me think we might be able to do layers? :) Also im waiting to get in again as i imagine we all are.. (damn you respawn button!)

We're getting way ahead of ourselves here but i think bodies should still be connected to the player, in order to somehow combat people looting themselves.. Just a small addition to your suggestion. :)

Before the servers were taken down for maintenance, i saw at least one "US" named experimental-server, so i guess they will be back. (I figure that is what you are asking about) EDIT: typo

Thanks a bunch :) I'll try it next time i will be recording to see if it fixes my alt+tab freeze. If i find out how to make it work in fullscreen again i will post my solution.

I have used Shadowplay before in DayZ (works just fine, but theres a hella long delay when alt+tab'ing for some reason). Now i cannot get it to work, red slash through the logo as well, but no freezing other than when alt+tab.

You like zombie shooters, then :) DayZ is mostly about the struggle of surviving, i.e. not finding anything and litterally never being safe. The concept of permadeath would be ridiculous if it only takes 10 mins to get geared.. that way you might as well spawn with your gear, saving an extra 10 mins and eliminating the need to be careful at all, making it basically a slow-paced FPS without a scoreboard. The game is 10% shooting and 90% looking for stuff/people while running.

DayZ is not for you, it would seem... i'm not even trying to be a smartass.

This. Pretty much the only way i can tell male from female.. Thank you gas masks!

well that was unexpected, and unrelated.. and advertisement.

Location says South Africa.. maybe pinging to EU or US servers isn't the fastest from where he is sitting -__-
