Hmm i cant say what battle eye will or wont say about using sweetfx. But i can say i have been using it in arma 2(since 2011) arma 3 (from the alpha onward) and i am currently using it in Dayz .53 and i am YET TO GET A BAN. Doesnt mean it wont at some point ban me but id like to think that battle eye is a professional enough anti cheat system to tell the difference between an overlay to help[ increase contrast lighting colouration etc from someone running a script in a game ....... Ill remove it it when the new renderer is implemented to check out how it looks but will most likely place it back in( as for being a hack LOL what planet do some people live on.)

Here is where there is some conflict in how an alpha use to be worked on and how people feel it should be worked on these days ( seeing they sell it as early release.) Alpha use to mean you would smash as many or all the features into the game up to the point it broke , then you fixed it enough to keep adding features until you reached the point it was feature complete and you bug fixed optimized polished etc(known as the beta stage). It was done this way because you fix bug X now and when you add feature Y it brings bug X back or it brings it back with bug Z aswell, so in effect bug fixing anything BUT the major game breaking ( and by that i mean making the game unplayable nothing to do with play enjoyment) was a complete and utter waste of time hence they didnt use to do it . But now that they sell the alpha as early release should they change the alpha process?? i mean they warn you to not buy unless your willing to support development( nothing about you enjoying the game) so basicly if they bend to to the will of the consumers and do alot of bug fixing as they go they will extend development time by alot ( and they are already doing more bug fixing as they go than what would be considered the norm in the old days of an alpha. So its a tough one realy do you want a smoother alpha game play but have it go on for years or would you rather they complete the game sooner??

Id never do it myself lol but its quite possible to saw down a pump action try googling images...

"Such is life " Ned kelly's last words before being hung for being basicly a bandit not against a little KoS.

But that is really the only difference between a public server and a private one is the fact that on a private server it has a seperate hive and thus a seperate character and public has an open public hive thus taking your character across all the servers.. private servers allow you to have more rules but most operate EXACTLY the same way as a public one again apart from having a seperate hive and thus its own character. So no mater how you word it your asking for every server to act like a private server thus have its own hive. All hives private or public are controlled by BIS its not like back in the mod days where a private server could have control of its own hive its own loot spawn...

So you want them all to be private servers... Not saying thats a bad idea but so many people hate that idea ( they come with lots of excuses why its bad). I personally play on a private shard server thats open to the public ( its not whitelisted so anyone can join but you cant ghost or server hop with that character etc ) so personally i like the idea but it will NEVER happen so i wouldnt bother asking for it lol.

If i pay to rent a house do i get to do what i want with the house??If i pay to rent a hire boat can i do what i want with it or a car or anything else you rent in the world EVER ?? No everything in life has rules and just like everything else when you rent a server you AGREE to abide by those rules , and just like anything else you can then decide to not obey those rules and see what happens.

For the love of god MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SURVIVE IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION... How can i say this well quite easily atleast once a month the local cops come knock on my door and ask me to round up what workers i have in town to jump in our 4wheel drives ( which are equiped with full survival gear as i own and run a fencing company doing fencing in the MIDDLE OF BUTT FUCK NOWHERE for the mines. I often take my hunting dogs with me as in many of the cases these people are so fucking dumb when they have broken down crashed run off road( dirt tracks are roads here) they have left there vehicles behind (which can be the only source of shade in many cases for kilometers) to wander through an arid zone where temps sit around 50 c plus. They do not bring water ( or sufficient water) , the last couple i rescued were americans who had wandered off from there vehicle and had stripped down to there underware because its so hot ( the worst thing you can do ). If it hadnt been for the great nose of my dog mayhem they would be dead... I have had to rescue Australians , germans dutch finns swiss kiwi,s americans canadians. These people head into a region even the aboriginals avoid because its so hard to survive in , and they go unprepared with 0 understanding of what to do if things go wrong. So yes i fully believe a great portion of the general population thrown in a cold enviroment in the rain with no MODERN METHOD OF STARTING A FIRE WOULD FUCKEN FREEZE TO DEATH...

34440 x 1440 works perfectly for Dayz ( so 1440p on an ultra wide monitor ,21x9) its also magic for field of vision being a first person only player that extra field of view from the wide screen makes it near perfect.....

Not really as such large changes are still being made to the core engine mods would be utterly broken. Do you recall how bad it was for modders for arma 3 with modding in the alpha of arma 3 ( which was really a beta) they broke mods every other week and no one wanted to touch making them as it was so frustrating ( i know i stopped trying to mod arma 3 during this stage till it version 1.0

Its probably why the offender didnt get a shot off because he was so dsynced he didnt see it coming. I use to play with a friend of a friend and i always wondered why when we teamed up my game went to complete shit . He died one day in a gun fight and when i searched his gear he had back pack in back pack about a dozen layers deep( i believe they have stopped that one now right?

Nothing wrong with collecting if its what you enjoy but how does a character reset effect you ?? i mean if your a collector a chance to start your collection again should be interesting yes?? Seems a silly thing to worry about in a game where bugs and players will kill you starting you over again. Oh the M4 is really wank factor its rare its effective but the rarity is what makes it wank factor its not a practical weapon due to rarity of it its ammo and clips, doesnt mean you shouldnt collect it if thats what your into . As for the PvP thing strange i actually prefer finding players to trade with but i do it in game meaning they very well may shoot me, i have to be ready for anything makes it fun. This often results in PvP due to the large portion of kill anything players... But the times i have traded it has been things more like fishing hooks binocs ammo for common guns , you know more survival related things , strange i know in a survival game, But your right its different play styles and different mind sets i KNOW its an alpha meaning they can by bug or need of hive wipe reset my character so i dont feel the need to ask if its going to happen nor change how i play when i do know its going to happen.

Still dont see how it really matters much at all, anyone can um reset your character at any time with just one bullet so again ,really what does it matter. PS what takes you 10 hours to find?? takes about an hour at worst 2 to be pretty much fully geared (minus if your a chopper hunter looking for m4's which honestly doesnt really give you much of an advantage its more wank factor..

There should be LESS ui in my opinion , remove hunger thirst bars add in stomach noises dry rasping noises. Health doesnt need to be a bar either just lock the post processing effect of screen blur when hurt by shock ( yes lock it so you cant turn it off and make the game easier for yourself but the other visuals of post processing can be optional for pc performance and prefrence) value and leave the grey screen with lowering blood. EA is the last company i would want BIS taking ANY POINTERS AT ALL FROM.

I voted no but as a realist i know there is NOTHING you can do about it . For every suggestion in this thread for how to stop its use there is a dozen ways it will still be used so its a pointless topic if a resolution is sought if its just to get opinions on its use well.. WHy is it against the spirit of the game well because suddenly your fighting telepathic soliders, surely you can see the advantage of being able to communicate long range silently so you position is not given away . Its bad because it artificially advantages clans/groups over lone wolfs , they already have the advantage of number but now they have the advantage of silent communication where in reality that would be the lone wolfs advantage silence vs a group having to call out to each other so he would know where they are but now they have ALL the advantages. But again you cant stop it so not much point raging against it , but yes its against the spirit and intent of the game.

Pretty much this^^ , Its a video game played by people who when it comes to fps games they are being played as straight kill anything that moves so i expect people to be more likely bandits( they arent real bandits really they are just crazed killers as often dont even loot the bodies just shoot and go ) BUT PLEASE for fuck sake stop trying to say thats how it would be in real life to justify your play style( you dont need to justify it ,its a game) IF a real zed apoc broke out and 98% of humanity turned into vicious killers wanting to eat the other 2% left alive you better believe what was left of humanity would be pretty happy to see any human that wasnt foaming at the mouth to eat them , and before anyone throws out the oh but legit pyschopaths wouldnt , thats true but the percentage of actual functioning pyscho's is TINY and then figure in the odds what the chance that many of those survived when there is only 1 or 2% of humanity left . Then how long would they last on there own with 98% of the population zeds if any survived the initial event that created all these zeds ( which arent currently in game the tiny zed pop we have lol)

Saints Row cherno , i knew they were bringing out a new game just didnt think it was this one.( i actually like saints row its way over the top and thats what there going for but i dont want to see dayz turn into it lol)

This ^^ i have compared in a real world situation my wifes 8350 which i clocked to 5ghz vs my 4790k clocked to 5ghz (same amount and speed ram 16gig 2400mhz kingston beast) and rendering the same 2 minute video , results were AMD 3;12 vs I7 1;53 , so a hell of alot quicker. considering thats 4 cores hyperthreaded vs 8 cores the results kinda speak for themselves ( although i tested game streaming and the 8350 with its extra cores handled that better than the quad core I7.

Hmmm i would have thought your results would have been better as i wouldnt have thought the GPU would hold it back that much but then the 7770 has less than half the g3d mark of my sons gtx 480 ( they were good cards just real hot but i did a home mod on it placing a h60i cpu cooler on it in a rather ugly but effective manner .

my wife is playing 1080p(1920 x1080) my son does have a lower rated monitor its 1600 x900 (or something like that ,its pretty old pc, i built it 6 years ago and its still ticking but then it was pretty good back then )

I built my wifes pc and thats an 8350 and a single gtx 770 ( both heavily overclocked ) and she has no troubles running the game at 35 (in novo) to about 110 fps in the open i already listed my fps, and my eldest sons pc is a phenom2 965 with a gtx 480 and that does 30 to 80 or so FPS(yes i need to update his pc ) , so i dont think its as bad as many people are finding ( and thats 2 amd chipsets and one of them really old doing ok with dayz)

beans hmm i wonder why its only hitting one core for me ( i even turn off hyperthreading at the advice of dresdan on of the devs at BI not a dayz dev though ) hmm i cant complain with my results but it i guess ill try messing with it see if i can get it to fire on more cores.

interesting you believe it to be running on 4 cores ( can i get some actual pics or video of your monitoring in action ( also what are you using to monitor ) im interested to see your Dayz results ( i also play arma 2 and 3 ,hell every now and then i still load up operation flashpoint) also what are your FPS results with this cpu usuage i ask because with dayz i turn hyperthreading off and it is running 1 core at 35%-50%(a second core runs at nominal levels to run background functions of pc) on an I74790k clocked to 5.1 ghz and i range from 50 fps in novo to 170 fps in the open at near max settings( i turn Post processing to very low as i dont like many of there effects ) on a 3440 x1440 ( so 1440p ultra wide screen with a second 1080p screen running monitoring) Thats using SLi 970s ( recently swapped from a titan black) but i only lose 5 fps when i swap out the 970s with a single 770 from my wifes pc as it really doesnt push GPUs to hard ( although the 770 was reporting 90%+ usuage while checking on afterburner so it seemed to be utilizing it very effectively for a game that hasnt had client side optimization.

But there not intentionally screwing AMD users, the game isnt optimized for intel its just not optmized at all!! When i monitor the game for me ( some people report it using 2 cores i keep asking them to post pics of there monitoring software screens because i think its still actually 1 with the background functions running on second core, strangely they never post the pics) its using a single core, on a game thats very heavy CPU dependant. I know you dont want to hear it but intel for single core performance is light years infront of amd . So its a case of nothing is optimized so your going to get better results on the chip that can brute force it which sadly is intel.. Edit but hey they are trying to do a PS4 port so if they are to succeed there going to have to multithread the crap out of it to take advantage of the many small cores of the PS4's AMD chip...

so instead of you spending 2 seconds turning off voice ,the devs should spend a huge amount of hours, and potential server performance running some voice detection to protect you because your sensitive. This is some of the dumbest political correctness i have heard....(and its never going to happen so you might aswell pack up your soap box now) Sure the world would be a much nicer place if there wasnt any racial slurs but sad reality is well again people are assholes and there is a very limited amount of things you can do about it from a game devs position but there is plenty of things you can do about it as a player , your not willing to do them because what your special??? Then thats your problem ..
