    Cant Control Where i "look" (move mouse)

    I think this is your internet connection. I've had it a couple of times on exp. where my character is out of control and i'm looking every direction. Try a low ping server and double check your connection then see if it happens

    How's The Game Lookin'?

    If that was a genuine question then you would've played for 30 mins (or however long you could bear.) It's not a genuine question though.

    Theories on what happened to me!

    His friend killed you. Arranged over ts, I suspect. That's why he slowed down.

    Make doors always open away from you

    The only thing about doors that kind of annoys me is a lot of the front doors at at the back. Maybe it's a russian thing but typically doors are road side everywhere else in the world.

    Will there ever be a Fullscreen Windowed Option?

    I just add the following to my launch parameters -noPause -noborder I am able to move my mouse from screen to screen as long as I'm in my inventory. just posting this as I went down the rabbit hole trying to figure this out (edit config etc) and realised it was actually a lot simpler than people typically say. I don't even alt tab.

    whats the plan for optimization?

    Forwarded this onto Brian Hicks, he should have a personalized reply for you within 15 mins or you could read the latest status report.
  8. For me, the main thing was stuttering fps or fps going below 20ish (Once i'm in teens fps for a while I'll start to get a headache.) I was one of the assholes thought people were using it as an excuse btw. I never got it properly in third but 1st person plus low fps and it was guaranteed. dayz was the first game I've ever got it in but I noticed playing miscreated with an average 17fps that I got similar feelings. I think also once you get it once you are much more susceptible to it. I think having a narrow fov added to it too. I never got it with arma3 despite going well below 30fps but I think if arma three had a lot of going up flights of stairs then I may get it there too.

    0.58 Experimental

    car parts maybe. more on the cle. zombie numbers and the bugs they cause. biggest issue for me in stable is the mad desync/lag in close quarters combat - so maybe something on that.

    0.58 Experimental

  13. i have a 980ti and have to turn off shadows and actually got worse frames in berezino than I did on my laptop:D the op is basically asking how long is a piece of string. You just have to check out the various guides then tweak, test then tweak again. As kichilron intimated sometimes turning stuff up gives better results than turning things down. I have the following: bloom 0 alpha to coverage: disabled antialiasing: low (disabled is another good choice) edge smoothing: fxaa high hdr quality: low post process quality: disabled terrain quality: high (it actually makes no difference what you set this to afaik) texture detail: very high texture filtering: high video memory: auto also in dayz.cfg I have GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; and in username.DayZprofile I have the following: sceneComplexity=1000000; shadowZDistance=100; //irrelevant if you have shadows off viewDistance=1800; preferredObjectViewDistance=1200; terrainGrid=6.25; I'll be changing sceneComplexity to about 200000 and terrain grid to 12.5 if needs be. Those two have a big effect. But throwing even the best card at dayz without tweaking the game settings will equal low frames. tbh I haven't played that much with the new card. I probably spent more hours tweaking the game for my old 570m than I have played with the new 980ti.

    One of you has to change your port number Go to launch options and add -port=27010 as an example. Only one of you do this.

    My dissatisfaction with the map of DayZ .

    Makes me lol thinking of the thing that makes people quit is the size of the supermarkets.

    My dissatisfaction with the map of DayZ .

    mr. gorbachev, tear down this small mall! seriously, I've seen a load of small shops like this. It doesn't claim to be a supermarket.
  17. Must've been an hour before I released you needed to put the battery in the torch:D What got me hooked to dayz in the beginning was I didn't have (or know how to use) a torch, couldn't see a thing, had no idea where I was, was dying of thirst and then I hear my footsteps splashing and I look down and get the 'drink' option. 1200 hours later

    How can 1PP be improved?

    I've been playing black mesa (hl remake) the last couple of days and it just looks and feels right. The only time I feel like I'm a midget is when I can't get on a ledge that I could in rl. The view is spot on as is the fov.

    Can't login to bug tracker?

    You need to create a separate account for the tracker. Your forum username/password won't work. edit: I probably spoke too soon.

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    Yes you'll be able to play. It's pretty good. Better than the one I play on.

    Receiving Data or sthing

    I'd guess it's your router. Like I have a thing where if I refresh the server list a few times in a row, it'll kill my internet connection. When you say you game stops do you mean freezes or what?

    What happened to DayZ player lore?

    forum searches typically do badly on 3 letter words https://www.google.com/search?as_q=fan+art&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.dayzgame.com%2F&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&as_rights=&gws_rd=ssl

    How can 1PP be improved?

    I use it a lot when i'm in highly dangerous places (e.g. veresnik mil base) but less so when I'm in fields or woods. I miss it not being in other games. But even though it's great, my fov being kind of narrow is still an issue for me. Since I brought it up, Veresnik is the best example of how much more exciting the game is when played in first. It's pretty exciting in third but in first it's terrifying. In 3rd you typically get to the outside wall and survey the compound for a couple of minutes before entering. In first you go in pretty much blind.

    How can 1PP be improved?

    I moved from 3rd to 1st around christmas when I got ssds so could guarantee ok frames most of the time and it's funny how it feels like the camera is in your characters chest. Then you realise, it's not, it's just that you've been used to a camera up high in third. It still feels like maybe it's slightly too low though, as if it's in your neck or mouth. A wider fov (but not to the point of being stupid) is a biggie. It's very easy to run right past people in dayz (and arma too) that you'd definitely see in real life. A big reason people probably don't play 1st is it's jarring after playing 3rd. Suddenly you get all the super load breathing, the cam seems super super low so it's off putting initially.

    Respawn for Broken Legs

    This was a decent suggestion when sticks were a spawn and you couldn't get them through cutting down bushes or search on the forest floor but now it makes no sense. I remember having to crawl from north of the neaf to svet just so I could get killed by zombies before you could make splints easily.
