Might be a bug. If it was a server reset I'd expect the 'No message for...' in red. This dumped you back hard into the server browser. Might be worth checking if it's been reported in the feedback tracker.

Remember, 'Stable Branch' of the current Alpha may not actually be that stable. Everyone in the Alpha is actually here to test this stuff. They've just done some major reorganisation of the Hive with the Hardcore/Normal servers, I'd presume that there might be a few kinks to work out with that.

Report them as you find them to their top tier provider and move on. See here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/. Creating a forum thread would be irrelevant as these servers are shut down pretty quickly if they are enforcing these types of policies. It would only implicate false positive servers as all the providers are going to reuse the IPs.

I think the replies to your question speak for themselves.

Speak for yourself. I'll take pure survival every time. And I'm not the only one.

I don't believe I even hinted at any sort of comparison between the two in my post.

But they've got such beautifull stonework! You guys are never satisfied!

Red [X] in the corner of the hands box returns the current item to inventory or the ground. Swapping items of the same sort doesn't seem to work ATM.

Not quite. They drop their gear for you, Most CLers don't do that. This must be something new.

Yes please. And some in AU. @Mercules: I don't think you can. Only stable. else I'd have already switched.

Not true. Ceasar was a salad. Still is, I think.

Yes, Mr Dean, Sir. Push away. It'll be more than f'king okay!

It's a very very small man shaped island, made of 'no man'.

Who's winning?

Good luck. Been waiting for a slot to open up for four hours already. Might have to flag this and wait for it on stable.

Hello, msy, welcome to the forums.1PP vs. 3PP has been extensively 'discussed' in the forums in many places already. No consenses has (or will) be reached. Both have their place. We have the ability, now, to lock our servers to 1PP and create a level playing field for all of the 1PP players. If this is your prefered play style, then I'd suggest you try to find these servers. Filter for '3PP:OFF' in the server browser. The animations are still needed in 1PP, and I'd doubt that there are that many efficiencies around them based on the players chosen perspective.

Welcome to the Post-Apocolyptic world... 'And the living shall envy the dead!' PS: The current dev branch shows much more clearly the DayZ survival game as it was sold to us! Brilliant!

If you've been following the devs posts at all, you'd know that they are doing something like this. I've quoted below from Rockets post: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ So hopefully this will mean that we get the advantages of an HC without having to have another physical process running. Of course I'd still like to be able to run an HC on another box as well. It can't hurt. @kiwi_laurel: You don't have to 'polish' a turd. You gold plate it, and then polish it. EA has been doing this for years...

There are somewhere in the region of 5000+ other servers to go to to play DayZ anyway you feel inclined, so if you are specifically going to their server to stick your finger in the air just because you can, then yes. It's your choice. No one is forcing you to go to that particular server.

Cryengine max heightmap for map is 4096 x 4096, just over 4 km x 4 km at a 1 metre scale. Technically the limitation is 256 km2 (8km * 32 units) but you're quite likely to find the engine unstable if you try it. You're looking at over half a gig of storage just for an empty level. The engine can do it, it's just not practical. Start adding assets and computational requirements and you're going to need some serious expenditure on hardware. Going by the specs in the 'Can I run DayZ' thread, that means most people here would not be able to run it. And for {CORE}BlackLabel: Unreal 3 has a max map size of around 7 square miles.

@ZedsDeadBaby As I said, 'I would like to think that the DayZ community has evolved enough to allow for that, but after way to much experience with the Mod and a growing acquaintance wth the SA, I'm packing a raincoat.' Your post is proof that some within this community believe their rights to play any way they want take precedence over any others. And at the moment you can have that attitude and have it backed by the full power of the current server rules. It's pointless to try and host a 'friendly' or PvE server on the public hive ATM because of this. On the private hives, who cares. The only objection you could possibly have is that they are not letting you piss on their parade. As to the hive: Dean tried to fix the problem of loot farming in the Mod's public hive and failed several times. We managed to find a solution by moving our community servers out of the public hive and isolating them. I doubt he will be any more successful in the SA, but as I'm not able to read his mind or privvy to his vision or motivations, as you are, then I stand to be corrected. By him, not you. So, I'll summarise for you. When you see a 'friendly' server you can choose to go there with the sole intention of slapping them upside the head because they would dare to subvert your interpretation of Dean's 'vision' for DayZ, or not. And as you point out there is nothing anyone can do about it. It's a public hive after all, and you can be an Arsehat if you want.

Usually CPU related. Your CPU is 4-core 3.2~3.8 GHz so isn't completely useless. Don't know kombuster, but if it works, use it.

You're doing it wrong! Look in the front seats of cars. I usually have a full map created from looking in 4~5 cars. You can find the map in the following bits: NW, NE, SW, SE, N, S, W, E, Full Map. That's 9 possible configs. You can craft the smaller pieces to create a Full Map: NW + NE -> N SW + SE -> S NW + SW -> W NE + SE -> E N + S -> Full Map E + W -> Full Map

TBH, we have enough military spawns in the game already. There will no doubt be a few extra incorporated in the northern expansion, but NEAF doesn't need to be expanded. Maybe revisiting that decision after we get servers with more than 40 players, but ATM it's all good.

Thanks for that. No really, no one has thought of that solution before, or posted it up on the forums. Thanks. Thanks alot.
