freethink

I appreciate that from the devs tbh. We don't have to do the opt in opt out dance

Honestly, the neaf is by far my favourite place for a bit of pvp. I hope this is just a bug and part related to them fixing the wall glitching.

I'm no longer seeing masses of threads about people getting their gear stolen. From what I read one paid hack had implemented this, hopefully those [expletive]'s all got banned. And I'm hoping monday's update sees changes that'll make this hack impossible. Anyone had their gear stolen recently? Fair play to be and bi, I'm an old school pre-agile type of guy but that was as agile as fuck!

I'd love to know the server specs/setup for exp. versus stable. Not saying it's all down to equipment but the devs are obviously more hands-on with the exp. servers. Or maybe they aren't.

Nope. You've misunderstood. You don't get random ctd on the first server you join. But if you leave that server and join another you might get a random crash after x minutes. To prevent the ctd when you leave a server, just restart the game if you want to switch servers.

It's against the rules to kick players who kill players. Many server admins have been known to restart/kick when they themselves have been killed. Join a group or head inland on emptyish servers would be your best bet for now.

Apparently if you restart the game everytime you switch servers you won't have that problem.

There are no actual friendly servers no. Even if a server says "Friendly Server - No KOS!" murderers will join and kill. Try joining a clan. There's loads on here if you look in the right section.

I used to think it was bs too. Then it happened to me. The combination of low fps and narrow fov will do it every time. Now that I'm able to generally get over 30fps in hardcore I don't experience it at all. It is a real thing though.

Cannot wait for the "global ban?" threads over at steam. I read the jail glitch is fixed. Is it?

I had similar i.e. 30-40 in the woods and then a crazy drops in cities. Drove me insane. Played another say 50 hours, tried all the options but then my pc started shutting down after 20 mins. Turns out it just needed a clean and what was happening was once the gpu started doing real work and producing heat it was basically just recirculating hotter and hotter air until it shut down to protect itself. So the op should open up their pc and give it a clean. Dayz was the only game to push my pc hard enough that it would overheat so much as to affect performance.

two different games imo. the first person evangelicals put me off hardcore even though I prefer 1st person to 3rd person as they are awful try hards. reminds me of the atheists on reddit. I don't believe in god but hearing some of those cringeworthy atheists I've started pretend to be christian. how about the first person moaners actually play first person instead of pussying out immediately and joining 3rd person? If enough of you actually played the way you profess to love then all hardcore servers would be full.

Well we're obviously moving towards weather conditions affecting players. I don't see why a hat can't protect you from the sun as well as the rain.

sun stroke would be good imo

think it'll probably be today

Thing about exp. is all the servers are full. I think they could add another 10 and they'll still all be full. I'll deffo be in touch when i get back to stable though.

Is it basically a london server? I'm irish but play mainly with uk and dutch people. Back on topic, I think we're going to have good weeks and bad. Sometimes it won't make sense for them to patch some issue that'll automatically be irrelevant when they update the architecture. Short term pain v longterm gain. I'm fine with that but if I'm going to die by some script kiddie I think I'd prefer it happen in exp. I wish they'd add more servers though! It's a pity they don't allow people like you to run an exp server instead of running the stable branch.

Can anyone find that video of the guy thought that legbreaks were too easy in game so he basically jumped off various heights with a full back pack to mythbust ?

You the man! I was worried I'd have no exp. to play

I think it's architecture, architecture, architecture. It's all very annoying recently with hackers but at the same time the hackers are able to hack because of they way the architecture is/was until now. I'm from a construction background and the most important thing is the foundation. No-one sees it or appreciates it but it's the most important thing. It's all very well putting up lovely wallpaper and curtains until your house sinks into the ground. btw Irish here, will check out your server/group if you are willing for other celts to get involved

I actually don't think you should be able to loot your own body. I think once the gear is removed from your corpse then fine, it's fair game for anyone. I have looted my own body and won't deny that though. Generally I don't even try as I figure I'm over 10 mins away. Last time though three of us were killed by a hacker and all he had taken was our food and drink. I think it's because when they speed hack they use up food and drink faster. Apart from that time, I've never felt right about looting my corpse. Never actually managed it more than a handful of times tbh.

how do we make splint sticks using an axe?

And with no chance of getting your gear back. My last jaunt over there I got right to the walls on the sw before the server shut down. I was thrilled thinking I'll hop back on and have my pick of gear. Log back in, hear some zombie noises, a few messages about bleeding/broken bones before "You are dead" came. I didn't even get to walk on the runway.

Meant to ask is it worth posting ctd issues to the tracker. Had a few today, saved the appdata once but trying to recreate consistently. In both cases I was zoom viewing. Once at a sign and once at an object on top of a building site. Is there any real point reporting unless I can recreate? I'll try just recording until it happens again.

That's exactly where I'm headed on exp. I think as well people might start migrating there to avoid hackers in the next while. It'll only be a brief respite from them but we won't be the easy targets we are at the neaf / berez.
