Hello, my friend has been wanting DayZ standalone for a while now but he has to wait to get it because his parents are saying no. Is there any way I can share the game on steam with him for the time being? The steam sharing is weird and I can't seem to find any good tutorials on it. Can somebody help?

My friend tried it and it won't work. He has the game in his games library now but it says "purchase"

That kinda ruins the point of steam sharing then :/

So does that mean he can't play with me then?

Thanks I am building one. I'm in the US.

Now, as we already know, vehicles will come a bit down the road. But I'm hoping my idea can get a vehicle in here sooner. Either they can just copy/paste the vehicles from Arma 3 or Arma 2 into the standalone, or they can for now just add a bike. While bikes aren't super fast, they're better than walking everywhere. This shouldn't be too hard to implement and can hopefully come soon. I think this will stop alot of the complaining for vehicles if we have bikes to ride around for now.

KOS can be annoying and I try to trust everyone I can. I do this because I like to roleplay. In a real apocalypse I'm not gonna go on top of sniper hill in Elektro and wait for people to come by. I do KOS though when I'm in high-traffic areas such as NWAF. If you don't want to get KOSed then don't go to places like Cherno, Elektro, and NWAF. There are plenty of other places to loot that people don't tend to go to. I doubt they'll ever put rules on KOS.

EDIT: Forget this post, I got my answer somewhere else. Sorry for spam.

They're not gonna add any of the stuff you wanted to the mod. This is because they don't support the mod anymore. The reason they don't support the mod anymore is because standalone's out and they want people to pay for it.

Your going to survive, but your not going to survive the apocalypse.

That's just how Epoch is. I don't believe there's any fix to that. Sorry.

1.D 2.C/A (sort of in between) 3.C 4.B 5.B 6.C/B (depends how close it is and how bad the infection actually is) 7.A 8.A/B (depends how many, if I think I can take them on, I'll pull out my knife and gun, and run only if it gets too risky. If there's alot, I'm getting the hell outta there) 9.C 10.A 11.B 12.C 13.A

That would be nice, but the issues it could cause..... If someone kills you but your friend kills them, TP back would be no issue. The issue comes when someone kills you and your friend and that person who killed you are in combat. You could TP to your friend and distract the enemy, or you could die, come back, loot your body and have 2 people again. This could be good if it happened when you first joined a server, or if there's been no gunshots recently or no people within a certain radius of the person your about to TP too.

I usually just go on low populated servers till I can gear up enough to actually have a chance at not being wrecked by someone with an M4. I usually loot Elektro (on low populated servers) to get an axe and maybe a pistol. then I go to the Balota airfield for some military supplies (usually just get an M4 and a mag or two) then I go hide in a safe area and play on a more populated server. All this can all be done very easily if you know how to play and if you know the map well. I also recommend you play with a few friends because most people play in groups, and the bigger your group, the stronger. If you have any questions just message and I can answer them. If you ever want to play with me or something to learn strategies and stuff we can do that.

Yeah, I had that issue yesterday. Couldn't loot my body.

Fortifying bases would be good, and I think this should come when vehicles come since you don't really need bases until there's vehicles. They should also add epoch to DayZ. Just the building part though. I don't think they should add the traders from epoch. Security cameras would be realistic, but need to be extremely rare, and hard to get the materials to make them fully working. Since it's a zombie apocalypse, anything with working technology should be EXTREMELY rare. The rarest items in the game in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree. I don't want them adding all this gimmicky stuff and I'd prefer they'd stay on the main point of the game, which is a zombie apocalypse survival simulator. I don't want all these security cameras and stuff. I like what you said they should add, like tents, cars, and heli's, but I also think they should try to add more reasons not to be a bandit or at least not to KOS. While bandits are needed for the game to thrive, I think there should be a nice balance.

Well my first hardcore death is about to be starvation....

No. I only get like 20 fps on lowest settings without shadows. If shadows was required, I wouldn't be able to play.

I feel as if it's too hard to find food. I often find myself dying of hunger more then anything. I know to look in houses for food, but it just doesn't spawn enough. Starvation is my #1 cause of death. I think it would improve the game much more if food was more common. Also, sometimes I find food, but I can't open it even with a can opener. I'm only able to inspect it. It doesn't say it's empty or anything, I just can't do anything with it.

Still having the issue, I even uninstalled the game, this is getting extremely annoying now. The thank I would give to the person to help me fix this would be insane at this point.

At NEAF I usually find weapons, Soda like no other, and an occasional can of food that I for some reason can't open

Hello, this post is aimed towards the developers of DayZ. I have recently bought the standalone DayZ game just to find out my computer can barely run it. Even on the lowest settings I'm getting very low frames per second. Due to this I would like to ask for a refund. I understand it is my fault that my computer sucks and that I probably won't get a refund, but I would really appreciate it. It is a possibility I'm getting low framerate due to the game being an alpha. If so I would like a confirmation. Thanks.

Don't honestly care. If my computer is super weak I won't be able to run Steam games.

Whatever, either way. I'm going to just get a refund through paypal. I can barely run the game and I can't get a new computer and I can't just upgrade my graphics card because I have a laptop.
