The only animals found right now on 0.60 are cows (in herd) deer (solo or herd) and chickens, chickens everywhere. With the new rooster. Sadly, rabbits, foxes, boars, goats, sheep and pigs seem to be missing. Maybe do for an AI overhaul, part of the new animal behavior we'll see in 0.61 with the addition of predatory animals. (wolves) I have my fingers crossed that the boar will come back then.

The VSS is over-hyped really. After testing it quite extensively in 0.59, I have to say that the rounds don't do much damage, and targets over 300m are easy to miss, as the bullets start flying all around the place. The M4 with suppressor is a bit more precise using the acog at ranges between 300-500 m. That's just my 2 cents, based on personal experience.

So far I don't have any issues finding burlap sacks. Even in coastal towns, as it's one of the first things I do, craft an improvised backpack, even if I had found other backpacks. Until the boars are brought back, the improv backpack will be my pack.

Beautiful. I've been waiting for audio changes for so long. Can't wait to hear the changes!! This is great. Keep it up!

I found mine at a crash site, attached to an M4.

The changes required for the "melee" combat to get better are pretty big, like in the new player controller. Without this, there's no point "fixing" something that will then be deleted, and redone. Counterproductive. Melee combat isn't broken or finished, it's a placeholder.

Does this happens with other games you play too? Are there other games you have that are DX11 and uses lots of resources you could compare, like GTA5, the new DOOM, or Witcher 3? If you play other games maxed out, or with high settings, and it doesn't get that hot, then there's something wrong with the recent 0.60 patch. I've tested 0.60 on experimental quite a bit, and didn't notice any issue with overheating, although the most recent patch took the last bit of life left in my GTX670. The card blew up, so now I'm waiting for a replacement. Looking forward to do some more testing to see if it's really something wrong with the code. The hottest it ever gets for my system is with GTA5, but I'm forcing some graphics settings. It's a steady 60 FPS+, but heat rises up very fast, so I'm using between 8 and 10 fans. Liquid cooling could be better, but it's not really an option with the case I have, and the prices for it here. Installing it yourself is a huge risk too, and that's coming from a guy who builds his own system for the past 15 years. Anyway, let us know more details, and we can pinpoint the problem more accurately, if possible. Edit: Haha! Thanks for answering the questions I had before my post!! Well, now that you mention it, it does seem like a problem as it shouldn't take more resources than GTA5, and shouldn't get that hot. The fact that it also happens in Unturned might indicate a problem with the GPU bios, as it makes no sense that your card would get hot playing Unturned...

Take note that every Wednesday it's maintenance. It's been like that for the past 2 years. Servers are offline until they are restarted. If this happened before today's maintenance, then it's unrelated, but I doubt it. Take also note that next Wednesday, there'll be maintenance, and the week after, and so every week until further notice. Thank you.

.60 glory Love the holo sight. Even though it can act out as a laser pointer... Can't get enough of the new and improved Cherno. M4 damaged and repaired. Dealing with the infected.

Love the holo sight. Favorite "scope" for the M4, MP5 and UMP. I still really like the ACOG, but for an overall use, the holo is amazing. Details

Pristine improvised suppressor on my Red9 (9mm) lasted 4 shots in 0.60, 2 days ago. It varies greatly from caliber to caliber.

You can check in houses, civilian, where it usually spawns, and in clothing. I usually find lots of ammo in train wagons. But the best so far is in clothing items, so much ammo spawns in them.

Very interested to see the new menu and browsing method for the servers. I think it's a great idea to separate official servers from the private servers in different tabs. That said, I totally disagree about not showing player stats for private hives, for many points. First, it's only sure environment to play hacker-free since they were first made available. And there's the fact that the character's life is bound to the server he plays on, making his "life", all the more important. No server hopping, all interactions been done within the same "community", that can relate to. The experience in private hive is very different. Anyway, thanks for sharing Mr. Hicks. Looking forward a bright future for DayZ, and a fun present! ;)

Never underestimate the Topito!

Very nice!! Interesting to see the new login process when selecting a specific "character" connected to a certain hive. (private hive server, public servers) This seems very useful to me and interactive. Keep it up devs!! This is looking good! Cheers! ;)

I got 4 pairs of Craghopper's, and only wear this in the summer. In the winter also, but with underpants as it can get pretty cold. Lovely wife you got there! :) Cheers BCBasher!

While sporting a hunting jacket fall camo. Personally, I'd like this, and some Craghopper's pants. ;)

Hmm. About them being much easier to come by, I wouldn't go that far. For the M4, yes, since it's totally absent from 0.59 (unless you cheat) but as far as the UMP goes, I've had and still have my hands on many UMPs in 0.59. I've found more than 20 UMPs in 0.59, and the mags are pretty easy to find in military locations. But in 0.60, UMP is pretty rare, and the mags are even more elusive. Only came across 2 mags and 1 UMP for 15+ AUG, 10+ M4, and everything else... As for the main question, I would take the UMP for it's stopping power with a powerful round, it's stats in close quarters combat and overall aesthetics. It's just a personal opinion really. The UMP saved me many times in 0.59, and I love it. The M4 is great, but for urban combat I would try to used the CQB stock and magpul grips with a RDS for the scope. I like the M4, but I like the UMP more... ;) My first UMP in 0.56 experimental.

It's the zeroing on weapons.

Really looking forward to see the new dynamic shadows and lighting system. Does this mean we'll finally be able to light more than 4 light sources in an area? That would be great! For independence day last year, Tatanko, Bleedout Bill and I tried to light up the town hall in Novo, but at the very beginning we knew we couldn't do it right, as only 4 light sources were visible at any time, even though we had lit up about 20 of them in specific locations to get the red, white and blue desired. Can't wait for next exp build to go online! Keep it up Devs! And thanks for the great work!!

The DayZ Colony and DayZ Underground. http://www.dayzcolony.com/ http://forums.dayzcolony.com/ I love the Colony. And DayZ Underground is great for 1PP play style. Edit: I just noticed your age. You might not be able to join the Whitelisted (US-2) server for The Colony, but can still play on the open servers. (US-1 and US-3)

Very nice and interesting video. Cheers!

Try to delete (make a backup first) your old profile, or check if it's in read-only mode. Usually in Documents/DayZ

Can't wait till they fix the memory leaks to try it. Thanks for sharing Irish! Cheers.

Never surrender! ;) I'd rather go down in glorious battle (or laggy battle) than this way. People I've met in-game were either totally not hostile, or were just looking to kill people. I've never been properly held up and then released after cooperating, so I just don't anymore... Past 1500 hours, and with at least 15-20 encounters of "bandits" who end simply executing, it's not worth it. Besides, most of the time they don't even RP or aren't even original/funny.
