Hotfix Build 1.7.1.4 Rolling Update (was 1.7.1.3)
bptrav replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
I'm getting really low/inconsistent FPS with this latest patch for some reason. I was getting 50-80FPS before, now I'm getting 20-100FPS. -

There actually seems to be a less deep stealth system the way it is now, which is probably the opposite of what was intended. There's almost no reason to use crouch since you will be spotted almost as easily as sprinting, so you either run full speed or prone crawl. -

Yep I had this problem too. By the time I realized it I was already being attacked by zombies and just heard a "click" sound of an empty gun, and reloading didn't work. -

Yep this is probably the best way to find out how well it will run without buying ARMA2:CO. Just keep in mind DayZ tends to run a bit slower than ARMA2 does (at least on my PC).

On "regular" servers you can see the players name when you look at them, while on veteran/expert you can't see their names. That's about the only difference that you didn't already mention.

Post your imaginary patch notes that you'd love to see
bptrav replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
[NEW] Broken bones are repaired with splints/casts instead of morphine, but you can't run or sprint as fast for awhile. [NEW] Camo/Ghillie makes you less visible to zombies too, not just players My friend suggested another cool idea I think: [NEW] Bandages stop bleeding, but the zombies can "smell" the blood making it easier to detect you until you wash it off with water (giving another use to water bottles) -
I have to agree with this. From my experience with BF3 the leaderboards are always led by blatant hackers/cheaters anyway. They get removed from the list, but new hackers quickly replace them. A friends leaderboard could be cool though, or individual stats you can browse through. There's not even a friends system in the game though so they'd have to implement that first. :)

WARNING: Do not install 1.7.1.2!
bptrav replied to jonaswashe's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I wasn't able to go more than 5mins without a server crash on the 20+ servers I tried, so it's sort of impossible to really test anything else when that's happening. Most of them crash so quickly that I can't even move across the map at all, because it forgets the 2mins of movement I had before crashing. Basically, I was "failing" to test this release anyway. -
-
How exactly can I avoid every single server I join crashing after a few minutes?
-
Is it just me and my friend or is 90% of the loot now empty cans? We've checked probably 40-50 buildings and not seen a single can of food/soda. No zombies are dropping them anymore either.

Amazing game takes dive. Player worries.
bptrav replied to benjamina's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If by "working as intended" you mean every server dies at night and people move to a daytime server, then yes. I like the difficult and unforgiving nature of the game as much as anyone, but you can't deny making nighttime pitch black has virtually killed nighttime play in this game. Even for the players who do like the pitch black nighttime, it takes a lot of the fun out of the game only playing with 3-4 other people on a server (the population of most nighttime servers). It's basically a single-player game at that point. Maybe that's what they want though, a carebear experience to get great loot without the risk of PVP. -

bptrav replied to Slamz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yep you can pretty much tell which servers are nighttime by the number of players on them. Pretty much all servers with low players are nighttime. -
Just wait till you start searching for the "C" key when you wake up in the morning.

It can be a bit difficult at first, but after a few days of playing you start to learn the coastal areas of the map (where you always spawn) and will be able to find each other fairly quickly. Whether you can find each other without dying first may be a different matter. :)

Same thing just happened on Seattle 29. I know it's an alpha but it's game breaking to allow it to happen.

I agree door sounds would be really nice. I love how you can judge gunshots by the sound/loudness/direction so I think doors should be the same (but obviously a lot quieter :)). It would be cool if different doors had different sounds/loudness too. A big factory/industrial door would probably be a lot louder than a supermarket door for example.
