Then I'm sorry. You ARE going to be disappointed. Unless you have the financial resources to upgrade your system to the bleeding edge, then you'll have to endure the situation with the rest of us. Even after the 'optimisation' steps that will come with the games development, you are not going to be suddenly getting the FPS you want. Even with the bleeding edge systems, you aren't going to get that! So, reality check time! Play as is and find some silver lining. Upgrade your system and hopefully be better off. Or just don't play. Your choice. Oh, and starting your statement with: "i dont expect anything... i expect...". Umm, hello!! PS: I'm going to stop now, because this thread can't go anywhere good from here.

To put it simply, your expectations are too high. On your hardware, you are not going to get the FPS you think you deserve. This is not meant as a slight, its just a fact. My system is only a little better than yours, but I am coming from long experience with the ArmA (RV) engines and so know that frame rates are going to be lower than with some other engines. If I try to run everything on hig, I'm lucky to be able to get ~20 FPS out in the wilds. In any town, or village for that matter, forget it! So lower your expectations a little, go read the FPS thread (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154330-possible-fps-enhancer/) and try everything there, it may help. Other than that, just get in game and ignore the FPS.

...so did this instead of doing nothing! Restocked the Stary Sobor supermarket. It was a fun exercise just to see what sort of loot you can get out of a dozen or so houses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpkF6009hoY Anyway, still there on the Delicious Donuts server (at least until the next server reset!)

Second Attempt. This time just to see what the total loot from the town is. Doesn't include the industrial buildings on the NW of town, but everything else was stripped out and rehoused at the supermarket. Not quite as much as I thought, but definately enough to survive on for a while. Video doesn't show the rotten fruit, but they're out the back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEV0mEz2_pg The funny thing was, a group of three military strapped guys ran through town, saw me, came over, saw what I was doing, then hurridly left town. They hadn't even entered a sigle building in town. Obviously had an appointment somewhere else.

What would have been great, is a hidden camera on the wall just to watch people's reactions as they come in the doors. Ahhh, but that's just a dream, just got the 'No message recieved...' on screen. Reset time.

Actually found 6. Found a N & S Cherno map but put them together and decided to keep those. Found a NW & SW and put them together to make a S. Found all but one map piece in cars, the other on top of a wadrobe.

Lada. Early model Lada. Rubberbands and all!

Please delete your copy of DayZ immediately. Unplug your computer from the wall and throw it in the trash. Self indulged pricks with overwrought senses of entitlement should not be allowed anywhere near anything like DayZ, SA or otherwise. Unless that was sarcasm, in which case, well played! I'm guessing you'd have to burn it to CD/DVD or copy it to a USB Memory Stick.

Yep, it's very sad. All that area and all they want to do is run around an airfiled or within a few city blocks. And I'm currently the only inhabitant of Polina, ATM. Well, at least on this server.

Still not too sure on this idea. Can they guarantee they are organic and gluten free?

Simple idea, really. Many items we can do this for already, i.e. food and melee weapons, but I'd like to go a little further. I'd like to be able to pick up any items and be able to carry them, clothes, hats, footwear, firewood, backpacks (empty or full). Basically any item that spawns that it would be possible to carry in the real world. Would also be convienient to be able to have the option to 'Take <x> into hands' on the command menu even if we could just put it into an inventory slot. Backpacks could be a special case: I'd like to be able to carry one in my hands, but realistically it would be okay to not have it saved like the standard one on your back, whether it was in your hands or not. Otherwise it's just more storage per character. I'm thinking of this functionality more as a 'Here's one I prepared earlier' and hand off to a freshie or a friend.

I hate those masks with a passion. Don't know exactly why, but I'm not inclined to be friendly to someone wearing one of those. +1. They get the rep and we get some way to target our retribution. This is the current failing ATM. While I applaud Rocket's intent here in anonomysing actions within the game world, it means even if we organised a lynching party we'd be pretty much impotent. Hopefully there is some change coming that will address this.

ALL OF THEM! And all of the ones that haven't been thought up yet! Oh, and all of Central Europe the Entire World as a single map!

Mod support is coming, go look at the roadmap. You don't want mod, that's fine, don't use them.

Tried that when I saw it while rummaging around in the configs. I don't think the code is there to support it.

That was better than the entire ode! Good work!

Thank god! Your meter was all over the place, your rhymes were forced more than once, and overall your ode stank up the place. Go back and re-read some Tennyson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred,_Lord_Tennyson) and pay particular attention to how it should be done. If you must, you can defer to one of those colonial poets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poets_from_the_United_States), but to be honest, they're a little too modern and possibly all a little too happy (if you know what I mean). Except of course Ezra Pound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Pound). I like him, so he would be an acceptable alternative. But only his 'Cantos'. Everything else he did was outright dross. And under no circumstances should you read anything from Pam Ayres (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pam_Ayres). Take my word for it. Just don't. Now, I can give you an extension until next Wednesday at the latest, so you'd better get to it.

No, no, no. Throw away the flashlight, but keep the battery. You'll need it for the scope you're going to put on that weapon when you find it. Think, people, think. Batteries don't grow on trees, you know! And they make your tongue tingle when you lick them! And to the OP: Very derivative post. Everything in it has been posted before. Except for the YouTube link. TBH, a simple post with that in the Gallery section would have sufficed. Oh, and another thing, currently I've survived 28 days solo. But that's why they call me Dave No Friends!* * Not really, I just work crap hours and the servers with acceptable ping are empty when I can play.

And the difference is...

Or, if you don't have a flashlight, run up to a new spawn and drop all your gear and simply tell them they can have it all, all they have to do is shoot you in the head. I wonder how many freshies you'd have to try this with before they actually did it, and not just run off screaming into the hills? Hmm... might have to try that later today...

I don't carry a firearm at all ATM. No M4, Mosin or handgun. I've got a fireaxe for the Zs and a backpack full of medical supplies. I'm not having any difficulty staying alive out there. If you mean non-violent in the Buddist sense, i.e. not killing anything, then it's probably do-able. You'll be doing a lot of extra running around to lead off the Zs, and players will be a challenge, but as long as you're not trying to hand off one of those vege cookbooks at NWAF or NEAF you should be okay. PS: Yes I know I'm mixing up my Buddists and Hari Krishna's. Bite me!

It'll be done when it's done. It won't be done before then, and after then, it won't be necessary. You're welcome.

Agreed. Saw an unarmed player in a restaurant in Zelenogorsk just standing behind the counter. Walked in with a can of beans in hand and in my best fake British accent, opened with: ME: "Hello, I wish to register a complaint. Hello, Miss." THEM: "What you mean, Miss?" <- without missing a beat! ME: "I'm sorry. I have a cold." What followed was a full re-enactment in DayZ of Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch subtly changed to accommodate the can of beans. Now I don't know who this guy was, and it doesn't particularly matter. The fact is, this is why I play this game. KoS-kiddies are a dime a dozen, and when they kill you it's no big thing. But this guy created an experience that I'll remember for a good long while.

Everything old is new again!

You're wrong! There, now p*** off.
