Haha, i got a character with 90% pre-patch gear and i have no lag, i only had to replace the MP attachments on my M4A1. Get your facts straight. Its just certain items, and it wont matter if they were acquired before or after patch.

for people that didn't want to read OP's post tl;dr: people play the game how it was supposed to be played and i don't like it, blaming the anti-server-hopping mechanic instead of the lack of item respawn even more tl;dr: i don't like the new server-hopping mechanic so i disguise bashing it with an invalid argument that's completely unrelated

this doesn't fix the memory-leak for people with false hopes.

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172092-the-lag-is-real/ Everything was great before the patch.

No zombies spawning on server restart as in servers that didn't have zombies since the last restart. Though still, not everyone seems to be equally affected.

Yeah one of my friends told me he had no lag at all so i joined his server to test it. And low and behold i had no lag. And i soon found out what the difference between that server and every server that caused lag was. There were no zombies whatsoever - not a single one from Berezino to Chernogorsk. It's probably related. If you think there is no problem try and see if you're on a server that has zombies spawning ( apparently some servers are bugged and dont spawn zombies ). If there are zombies try traveling between cities - if you still haven no lag it would mean not everyone is affected. And to everyone bragging how great their FPS is. It's not instant, it takes 5-15 minutes to kick in and it only just arose with the new patch.

It's not the log-out system's fault the rollbacks happen. That's just a bug they introduced. It's not perfect but its an alpha. I prefer how it is right now compared to how it was before where everyone just combat-logged. The amount of people i killed that sat down after combat-logging proved me right.

The latest patch introduced a very serious memory leak. After 20 minutes of playing i have micro-stutters that make the game extremely unplayable - and it doesn't stop there - at some point the process becomes regularly unresponsive. This has never happened before since launch. I usually rock 35-60 fps.

I hope they stop letting people host their own servers all together, like MMOs for example do. The experimental servers prove that people shouldn't host their own servers. They are far superior. Dear rocket, please start hosting all the servers yourself.

Well i made some progress. Two ways: Using BorderlessWindowed (http://www.mediafire.com/download/jnsslpz2wl7yjf8/RemoveBorders.rar) start the tool first and make sure you already have DayZ in there and set it to auto, then start the game. the game will be at whatever render-quality you had it set to but also be borderless BUT, the mouse will be off, meaning you have to aim your mouse higher than usually to interact with buttons etc. The other method is using DXWindow (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/) this one is risky because it only works if you add the game and add the option "use DLL Injection" Battleye and VAC might detect that as a hack and ban you for it. also you have to make your game start in fullscreen-mode for this method But aside from that it will work perfectly.

I'll just bump this for justice.

this is the most dumb thing ever. what prevents anyone from writing all sorts of stuff in local chat. this literally makes no sense whatsoever if they are so concerned they should just have the message automatically add your steam username to the end of the message

bullshit. sorry some of the geometry is bugged - some grass objects have much bigger hit box than they should have you will hit them no matter what your zeroing or weapon as if there was an invisible wall in front of you and that happened to me standing up and shooting in a straight line only in forests btw.

They implemented a .pbo signature scan into battleye 3 days ago https://twitter.com/Hicks_206/status/420866407664852992 if you deleted the .pbo files you are going to get instantly kicked by battleye.

arma 2 bans don't affect your dayz standalone ban status. end of story. if you're banned in arma 2 you're not necessarily banned in dayz:sa. but if you're banned in arma 3 you're banned in dayz:sa as well and the other way around. also there is plenty of hacks. scripting was possible from day 1 and more hacks emerged that are impossible to patch. there is always going to be ESP hacks. that said - the team should be able to get to a point where that is all you can do. esp's and aimbots (and such). but if everything else has been made serverside we will definitely not see any more godmode players, people shooting through walls, teleporters, infinite ammo people etc. on a side note - vac and battle-eye are pretty bad and only detect a few pbulic hacks - the more skilled kind of "hacker" will never be banned - as for the rest - they will always be back.

While infinite ammo is quite possible this seems like a potentially legit situation. You don't know after all how many people there are and how much ammo they've got to waste. I would assume a real hacker would, after a while, shoot through the walls or teleport behind you.

i never saw any decent argument against 1st person ever :D "but i wanna see my character!" yeah well press tab and u'll see it. FOV is the same, framerate is the same (if not a tiny bit better), its much more immersive and less cheap just remember to turn of the head-bobbing - it can be very straining. but well this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7zoVIsIT2A says all that needs to be said
