plasma (DayZ)

I'm still crashing quite frequently. Driving the sedan is a challenge. It feels like it's on ice. Not sure if there is a gravity setting for the sedan, but if so, it needs to be up'ed a bit. I also do not like how even the smallest bush can cause a crash. They really need to dedicate some folks into fixing vehicles. It's getting to the point to why even bother driving.

Baty did say "important memory management issue" but that doesn't have to mean the memory crashes were fixed. Could she elaborate?

I understand the drinking glitch, but for apples... if I walk up to an apple tree, I do not have to search for apples, they would just be there (given the right season). I could then take as many as I can grab and as fast as I can grab them. Maybe a different approach to gathering apples should be implemented.

if true, I will be looking forward to it

I am in the same boat and totally agree with the OP. Since the patch, they removed "Fast Forward", which is what I was able to bind to auto run. I broke my wrists when I was younger and constantly holding down the w key causes severe pain after a while. There's not reason not to allow macros.

yes, you can drive a car, truck or off-road using a ruined battery. The "ruined" tires also show as pristine and have no negative effect driving. Since we are talking about vehicles, I currently have lost 6 vehicles in 1 week. previous version I lost 1 vehicle a month. Small bushes seem to kill the car plus I'm getting memory errors while driving. This game has been out for a while, and yes, I know it's alpha, but damn the car mechanics really suck, and they aren't getting any better. I was playing Ghost Recon Wildlands last night and I must say they've got the car driving nailed. BF games have been good as well. I really don't understand why in Dayz it's so bad.

where are you finding the VSS and mags?

I didn't know to check that.. i will tonight. Thanks :)

anyone?

Do any of the official servers actually maintain a good number of players? If the official servers are the ones that say NJ 2-12, AU 2-5 and the Dayz Standalone, etc, they are never even close to be at full or medium capacity... always low and always with less than 6 players, who are server hopping or building a base. So for financial reasons, I bet the official servers are killed off in the future and probably what the devs are hoping for. I for one like to loot and build my base on official servers. i don't have the time I use to to play, so quicker gearing is the key for me. Being able to find an empty server to gear up usually brings me to the "official" servers. But I enjoy the looting aspect of the game. I also like hunting for other bases and players.. Not RP so much. Initially I thought having different hives for official and public was going to be an issue for me, but as it turns out, it's not. There are plenty of rented servers I can build my base on, then hop over to Trump's Wall and do some hunting ;)

play on a different server

with the new hive system, are there any official servers that are popular? Every full server I see is a rented server, so is this a way for the Dayz group to ax all the official servers to save money?

anyone remember BF2142/Bf2.. could kill someone, then revive them, kill, revive. etc.. I could see the real a-holes doing this for fun. knock them uncon, then revive and repeat

with .62, are guns spawning in heli crash again?

i'm very disappointed with this. Should have remained the way it was

I used fast forward as a way to bind a macro so I can run without holding the key down all the time. This is bad for the hands. why the hell was it removed?

nope. doesn't work. they removed the one button that is the true one key-press "sprint". now it's either toggle run or walk. bummed about this and now the public/official servers are not on the same hive. This has taken some of the fun out for me.. might be time to give up Dayz

re-read this this thread from the beginning. it's already been talked about ;)

lol. actually broke my wrist in an accident when I was younger. Now at 46, it always hurts I will try binding Turbo.. thanks.

Looking great, thanks:) Here's my issues so far: 1. While driving, got the memory leak error. when I restarted, the sedan was dead. Didn't look like I had hit anything. 2. Why was the "fast forward" key bind removed?

I have the Logitech G910 with macro keys. I just binded the "Fast Forward" to the G2 key and set to toggle. Helped long distance running. My wrists are already messed up and sore as it is, and when I have the press and hold the "W" to all time now, it's hurts.

I'm always in the west and always finding other players.

I have 26 tents in my camp. Actually trying to see how many tents I can add before 1) it's found 2) update/persistence wipe 3) crashes the server. Plus almost every tent is full of yummy loot. I'll give a can of beans to the player who finds it first ;)

wait, I can duplicate buildings? i'm loving dayz even more now ;)

for whatever reason, I can't get my keyboard macro setup so I can autorun... btw, this feature needs to be added. Holding down the shift or W to run long distances is a bitch. Turbo doesn't seem to work the same.
