Stand Alone is better? HA! You jest, you little stinker!

I'm planning on starting a YouTube DayZ series (among other games and mods) of my own for FOX Company Gaming so if you'd like to collaborate and have videos showing the same scenario from a number of perspectives, kinda like Frankie and JackFrags have done in the past then I'd absolutely be up for that. Also being new to it all it would be nice to have some creative input from a fellow, friendly uploader. The quality of my videos will be pretty high in terms of looks too but until I get my hands on a decent but easy to use editing suite then I'm unsure as to how good my production quality will be. My work will be far from shoddy or half arsed since I'm representing a group who are using modding, programming, production and video creation as a method to be come a games studio that works on all kinds of content. If you come to foxcompanygaming.com you'll get an idea of what I mean.

It could also be that allot of the game stuff is dealt with server side to reduce the load on lower end systems trying to run the game. Good job I'm on an "Unlimited" package with my ISP lol

I was about to say the exact same thing... Beans sir.

So long as she can do the rest like, bring you beer, make you a sandwich etc... You know when you've played too much when you go camping and, first thing in the morning, get out of your tent and start eating cold Heinz baked beans straight from the tin, because making a camp fire might attract some arsehole to your position.

Yup, Island Life and Takistan Life are just mods for Arma 2 and can be found through the server browser when you load the game normally. If you rely on Commander to add the command lines in to play DayZ then just start the game with the Op Arrowhead shortcut or in the start menu, then do a search for either. To find them using the filter you'll need to search for them in the Mission field.

Games like this never translate well to console, sometimes it even puts a halt on all future sequels. Case in point, Fallout. When the series reached Fallout:Tactics after the original and it's sequel were released (was my entry point to the series back in 2001 and in my opinion the last great Fallout game), Interplay decided to release Brotherhood of Steel on the PS2 and Xbox and was such a steaming pile of shit, it damn near destroyed the franchise and any hope of a future sequel. It took 7 years for anyone to pick up the licence and do something with it because no company would touch it with a barge pole. The result, they turned it into an almost turn based first person shooter/rpg (a re-skinned Oblivion basically), a completely different game to the fondly remembered originals, that only just keeps the story intact so that they could keep the name Fallout and has become a multi-platform cash cow for Bethesda. I fear that if DayZ ever gets released on a console, it will destroy the popular image it has on the PC and history will repeat itself. The day a games console becomes good enough to run a game made famous on PC like DayZ, in a faithful and non "dumbed" down manner then I'll happily lead the console crowd in calling out for it to be ported over. Until then if console gamers want to play a PC game on their overpriced BluRay players, then they should bite the bullet like I did (I've only had a truly gaming worthy PC for about 12 months, after my previous computer literally exploded and I had to sell my 360 to rebuild it) and either buy or get someone they know to build them a computer so they can play it. I decided to and I've never looked back. I personally hope beyond hope that Dean sees sense and opts not to do it, if he decides to release on console and it flops then the reputation of the PC version will get marred by it. Idealistically that wouldn't happen but unfortunately this highly judgemental world we live in is far from ideal. The only comparably sized game I can think of was MAG early on in the PS3's life. And that was pretty terrible to be fair.

Yeah lol That too.

Keyboard to face as my wrists can't take the facepalming anymore

This, People expect us to read and understand and sympathise with their plight when it comes to the SA yet THEY wont read and understand (they more than likely do the former but are too dumb for the latter) the disclaimers and warnings that were plastered all over the fucking game to begin with. It really isn't that hard. Besides, my wrists have had it from all the facepalming I've had to do in the last couple of months due to these threads. So much so I've had to start using my keyboard, and despite the fact the keys press in, they fucking hurt!

Wouldn't work anyway, infantry AI within the engine (as it follows the Arma 3 make-up) is utter shit, they'd either be sniping you with pistols from outside visual range (50% difficulty applied to AI or higher) or have the intelligence associated to an unborn foetus (49% or lower). Plus I don't like the idea of a computer masquerading as me when I'm not in control... Who knows what else it's doing when I'm not watching.

Low with most effects turned off I would imagine. I'd only ever use that card with . I'm from the Uk so prices are vastly different when compared but I'd wager that you could build much better for the same price. Or if you don't know how... save another 100 bucks and get a rig that has a 760 already in it. I've spent around £700 in the last 12 months (almost to the day) and have ended up with the following: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ FX-4170 4.2GHz Quad Core 8Gb RAM 1866MHz Asus GTX 760 2Gb OC Edition - Replaced a GTX 650 from same manufacturer less than a month ago (could run SA on Medium with most effects either off or on low). 80Gb Intel SSD (System) - Added after initial build. Corsair C600M PSU 150Gb Raptor HDD 10'000 rpm - Added after initial build. 2 x 300Gb Raptor HDD 10'000 rpm - Added after initial build. Zalman Z9 Plus (w/ 4 blue led fans, front panel fan controller and digital readout) If it wasn't for my Government screwing the shit out of us in import tax and other bollocks, I should have paid roughly half of what I have, with tax and stuff on top, say £350 - £400 (roughly $650 - $700 with going exchange rate). For the same money you should technically be able to get twice the machine I have. Like I said above if you don't know how to build one yourself and are going pre-built then try and pick one up with a 760 already installed, as you can see I have one also and only picked it up recently, it's a great card. At the moment it's easier to list the games it WONT play on High or Ultra, that to try and name everything it does... Hope that kinda helps. I'm very tired lol

Haven't played Vanilla DayZ in fucking donkeys! I'm always on Epoch or Overwatch when I play it.

PM'd you matey.

I dunno, a 7.62 round has a high probability of taking your arm off with one shot if it impacts your shoulder at the joint...

As said above, different versions of the same mod can have different graphics to represent things, even the update version of the same mod can have an impact on what you see on screen. Don't worry about it :)

Oh man, research research research. How many times do BI and Steam have to have the notice "THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING." before anyone will actually take it in?

Dude, you're playing too much Takistan or Altis Life. Getting high and doing anything other than surviving should have no part in the game. Not knocking those mods, not by any means. I play alot of Altis'. But this is DayZ :). Isn't "Refrigerant" helium? Would be funny as shit running around with squeaky voiced pep-.... oh wait

"you're either retarded or meant to be playing WarZ..." I thought that was the same thing! :P

First of all, what mission type is it running? Epoch, Overwatch, Breaking Point, and what map are you putting it on? If you don't mind being part of a wider community then come to foxcompanygaming.com. We're a community, clan, group of devs, lore masters and nut cases. Once on the site get to our TS channel and contact Ron Swanson, he's our founder and will (I'm sure) help you out in anyway he can, he may even get one of the lads to put the scripts you want in for you if they have the time. We have alot of experience with coding in general, not just on DayZ so you can trust us. Bring your friends with you and Ron may agree to list the server on our home page, I will then (as =FOX='s PR guy) be authorised to promote it for you and help to get more traffic through it. Come say hi! =FOX= Sgt Damocles [PR]

Sutcliffe?? Any relation to Peter? I got my eye on you boy...

Afraid not, the whole reason servers become as popular as they do compared to others is because of the time and money the people renting the server have put in. Like they always say, if you want the best, don't scrimp on the necessities which unfortunately AH's are very necessary. It would be a shame to have put the money into creating a dedicated server only for it's reputation to suffer early due to sub-standard protection.

.... if you are trying to take the character off one Steam account and put it onto another one, no. But as is said above, if you're moving onto a new computer then all online info will stay attached to your account.

I voted no on both counts. This aint Cod, kids.

It's a legit link, guy must not have known how...
