I'm seeing no difference in FPS since the patch. Sry, not much help.

Not helpful, KoS. @CPT. Santa You have to go through Steam support since you paid through them.

Had this happen a few times recently. Managed to extricate myself by sprinting full speed at a wall and continuing to sprint at the point forward movement stops. Helps if there is no objects around on the opposite side of the barrier to push you back. I think you then just wait for a little lag spike and the client/server resync teleport does the rest. Can take a few minutes or so to work. A high pop server helps a bit too, so log into one of those. Anyway, its a lot quicker than waiting to die of thirst or starvation!

The rabbits yelling like Zs isn't really a bug. I doubt its an issue with a place-holder sound either, as 'What does the rabbit say?'. I like it anyway, it adds a quick double-think to your actions when there isn't really anything else going on. And I'm just being a bit pedantic, ATM. Just like the right terminology to be used where possible.

Not usually a bug, as such. If the server has a high number, i.e. x-100+ in it's name, usually means that the server is paid for privately and you can bet the problem stems from an incorrect server cfg. If it happens again, immediately log off, and re-log into one of the original servers i.e. x-100-. It's not a guarantee, but it has worked for me when the wipe hasn't been due to hive/db wipe for everyone.

Just a note: Random noises [zombies yelling, chains rattling, etc]Server hoppersCombat loggingThese are not bugs. Exploits, maybe, but not bugs. These are all 'features' working as they are intended. Bitch about them all you want, but they still won't be bugs.

I used to be on the side of the 'No, we don't need anything like this' in this argument. But then I started seeing sites like this pop up everywhere. See this guy is such a leet PvPer. Until, that is, you look a bit closer. That 4,492 kills looks impressive, but then you see that 4,232 of them were players who couldn't fight back. So I'm subtracting them off the total. That leaves only 260 ligitimate kills. Now, 260/937 kills/Death. Not so leet now Mr Hardman PvPer. Yet he is ranked as a f'ing General. No mention of accuracy, though, and no sign of intelligence IMHO. The whol leaderboard (their description, not mine) is full of similarly leet PvP hardmen. Now, I'm not saying that all PvPers are the same as this guy. I know many ligitimate PvPers who know how to evaluate a target, and can take out all threats but still have the way with all to allow those that don't pose an immediate risk enough time to remove themselves from the area, most times without knowing they were squarely in the crosshairs. I enjoy being killed by someone like this. The bullet, in these cases is only the punctuation at the END of the story. For the the guy above, the bullet IS the story. That would be sad, if it wasn't pathetic.

Stolen from: A brief history of time according to Sapience http://my.lotro.com/sapience/2010/02/18/a-brief-history-of-time-according-to-sapience/ Please keep in mind; the measurements below are highly accurate (as are their relationships to each other). However, the descriptions are for entertainment purposes only. Unless you win money, then you owe me 10%. At some point in the future (also, At some point) We’re in pure Nostradamus territory here. We have a magic 8 all and even it is saying, “Ask again later”. In the future This isn’t going to happen during any variety of soon you care to use. In fact, it’s pretty far out there. Not as far as ‘at some point’ but we’re certainly not suggesting you book vacation time just yet. But at least we’re probably talking about something that is possible within the current time line. Assuming, of course, the Mayans got it wrong and we’re still here after all that crazy ‘end of the world’ stuff. In the near future This is absolutely, positively, without question, a possibility. In fact, it might even be a real possibility. But as to when, we’ll have to get back to you on that one. Soon™ No lie. It’s going to happen. It’s going to happen really freakin’, like, eventually. But it will happen! “Soon” It’s official! We have given consideration to a possible date and we now have several possibilities! Soon We’ve narrowed the date down to something within the calendar year! soon No really, we have a date now! It’s even penciled in on a calendar somewhere! MoreSoonerish We have a date, and we’re probably going to tell you what that date is…soon! As soon as possible Time being the slippery thing it is, this has quite probably already happened. If not, it is very likely to happen while someone is typing up the message telling you when it will happen. Assuming, of course, that it is, in fact, possible. NOW! Never gonna happen! A word about capitalization. As a general rule, capitalization will tip you off as to a measurement’s place in time. Captial letters denote a longer period of time than lower case letters. This applies to all uses of capitalization when dealing with time. Thus Soon is longer than soon. Like wise, MoreSoonerish, Moresoonerish, and moresoonerish are all incremetally shorter periods from longest to shortest. TM and its uses The notorious ™ has very specific meanings. It denotes a longer period of time than the word or phrase would otherwise represent without the addition of the ™. Combined notation When you see a combination of ™ and capitalization you must consider both modifiers on the base measurement. *For those who don't know, Sapience is one of the community managers for the LOTRO forums. He has the catchphrase of "Soon" but recently it's been debated what "Soon" actually means. Today, we've been given the answer.

NO. This is a Zombie Apocolypse Survival Horror, not a Zombie Apocolypse Survival Horror Extreme Fishing Contest. And TBH, how many more sardines and tuna do we really need!

Obviously someone who only knows about oceans from TV. Oceans are loud. It's what they do.

LOL 'Yes, Sir. I was bad. But i didn't think I'd have to take responsibility for my own actions. That's just not fair!"

No. Read up on how they actually work. BE isn't going to ban you for rubber-banding or being teleported through a wall due to lag. It's a very thorough and mature system. If you get banned by it, then you can be sure that you got off lightly. So, kids: Don't cheat. Stay in school, and drugs are bad.

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153994-early-access-important-information-known-issues/ But I'll paraphrase it for you: Zombies. They're crap. We'll fix them soonish™. See, all better now.

[Full forensic mode: ACTIVATE] The victim was pretty much already dead when he came into the room. Colour desaturation to the point of greyscale shows that. Like a show pony he pranced about in front of one set of windows, closely followed by a second. I pretty surprised the shooter had the patience not to go full auto on this turkey right then. But we hear the first volley of shots, and the vic simply passes all casual like back past the two sets of windows again. I count only one of the bullets actually hitting the vic. Very sloppy shooter, very sloppy work. The vic then hunkers down into a squat, not prone, which we all know from bitter experience is not going to put our head below the windowsills. Any shooter who is on the same level or higher and knows his shit still has a perfect shot at this point depending on their location. Of course, the shooter doesn't need to take that shot as the vic bleeds out. Obviously doesn't read my other posts, or else he'd have that ripped up tee shirt to bandage himself with. At least it would have forced the shooter to waste another volley of bullets. [Full forensic mode: DEACTIVATED] So, no. No sign of a hack, there. Sloppy burst control on the part of the shooter, and a non-existant reaction-to-fire by the vic. 7/10 for the shooter; 3/10 for the vic. Thanks for playing. PS: Make that 9/10 for the shooter, they did get the kill, after all.

Yep, definately a hacker. Walking into a room when you are half dead and taking a bullet and bleeding out. Definately a hack. The guy you need to report is named,... let me look it up for you.... one sec... ahh, there it is. Rocket. Yep, that's the guy. Developed the whole mechanic right there. Good luck. Let us know how you get on. PS: Just one criticism WRT the video. That was some crap 'reaction to fire' there mate. I'm surprised you didn't stick your head out the window, wave, and shout 'FRIENDLY'. Just saying... no need to take it all personal...

Probably not a hacker, just a server jumper, ghoster. Unless you have conclusive proof of a hack, in which case there are procedures for reporting those.

I agree totally. I regret that you bought this game as well! If 'this is by far the most extreme shit' you've experienced, you're far too young to be playing this game. Seriously! Go back to your polished, bug free CoDs and BF3/4s. I'm sure you'll be more comfortable there. I've played only 150 hours or so of the SA Alpha, and have lost count of the deaths from ladder bug, being teleported out of 2nd and 3rd story windows, KoS'd by 12 yro hard men who thinks Justin Beaver (I spelt his surname wrong on purpose, 'cause he's a pussy! Look it up) is god. I've died of hunger and thirst, and food poisoning (I ate a Kiwi. He said he was clean!). I've commited suicide a few times out of bordom, although I will deny it if asked, I just thought I could fly! I've killed a freshy, because he was hiding in the grass and said 'boo' when I turned around. I've shot at a Z from range and killed a player who crossed my line of fire as I pulled the trigger (It was okay though, I still got the Z). I've run further in Chernarus than I'd ever care to in real life, and I am completely f'ing over cans of beans, ffs. And don't get me started on this god damned rabbit that's been following me for days... Sorry, lost the plot there a bit. Anyway, back to the OP. Sounds like a personal problem. Take it to mum, 'cause I don't care!

Not quite Open Source, but not security by obfuscation either.

Not performance. ArmA2/3 servers have it and on or off makes no difference performancewise. They don't need time, the server (patched to 113953) was pushed to all servers at the same time. You don't get to choose the version you run. So that only leaves a few possibilities: 1) Trying to avoid a BE global ban,... or 2) Illigitimate gaming practices. 3) Misunderstand the BE implementation.

Actually, BE is pretty upfront about how the magic happens. It's like good encryption, knowing how the magic happens doesn't help you anymore than not knowing. And because it is known, if there is a big hole in it, there are a lot of people looking through it.

@CrocoDan You don't need to worry about BattlEye. Just agree and move on. It works. You can find out how it works, but it isn't going to help you if you're a dirty no good cheat, and you aren't one of those, are you CrocoDan? @SlyGuy65 VAC can only take you so far, BattlEye takes you the rest of the way. It's funny to see all those servers now popping up that have actively turned BE off? I wonder why?

From the mouth (keyboard) of Rocket himself: Quote: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ Umm ..."...own variations of DayZ..."... That can't be a referencing to modding, now can it!? Yes, that was sarcasm. I apologise. And again from the Rocket direct to you: I've got another quote floating around where Rocket spoke to the planned release of the server exe with DayZ at release (i.e. after Alpha/Beta), but can't track the source. So I won't include that, yet.

If experience with the mod has taught us anything, these problems are definately not temporary. They plagued the original release, and are still previlent today. I definately do get to pick who I play with, and I see no reason why I can't have complete control of my gaming experience. The days are truly gone where I have to take a prepackaged box off the shelf and be happy with the contents it contains from some big monolithic corporate entity that wants to dictate what I am allowed to do. I don't buy those. I buy open ended platforms that actively encourage end-user content creation and modification. Sorry, Ad Hominem alert (It's been a long day) But I digress. You're not really upset about the fact that I get to pick who I play with, or even whether I do or don't have control over my gaming experience. What concerns you most is the fact that I won't choose you, and that there could be a server out there somewhere that won't allow you specifically to jump on and create whatever havoc you feel is allowable. Get over yourself, you're really not that important. There will be plenty of like minded individuals who'll have their own servers where you'll more than fit in, but I'm guessing that a server inhabited by likeminded psychopaths hell bent of screwing everyone over probably isn't going to be all that great, really.

The community is already split. It's completely fractured even now. We are split across 100s (1000s?) of servers. And not to put too much weight to it, we aren't really one community in game, just disparate groups who happen to be forced ATM to be on the same servers as each other.

Just thinking out loud, here, but you could simplify the AI a lot without it becomeing too apparent. Reduce the AI of all but one of the hoard to simply follow the leader and 'attack my target'. Basically all you want is for them to move towards and attack a single target. I know, I can already see the 'exploit' from here, but it still might be doable with the limited processing resources that are available. And TBH, if you've got more than one survivor with you, multiple zombies aren't going to be a threat anyway.
