I have seen people who Die disappear shortly after.. Combat Log after dead so body disappears.. That is defiantly still an issue.

I got DayZ Standalone running on a Crapple BookPro i7-3520M - 2.9GhZ (2 Cores 4 Threads) Intel HD4000 Graphics 13" 1280x800 8GB RAM 5400rpm drive Windows 8.1 x64 Quote Quote Steam > DayZ Properties > Set Launch Options Quote I've boosted my ViewDistance/ObjectDistance to 1500 recently. It works out just fine except around Cherno.. That area just melts anything for some reason.. 10-20fps. Even my higher end Desktop just crawls in that area.

This past weekend my friend timed my body to disappear 15 seconds after i said. "I logged off." Your character goes through a process of sitting on the ground. And then begins to look around. Creeps people out cause your character may randomly just stare at them for a few seconds. "Are you still there? Why are you staring at me!?" No i am at the Server Select Screen..

30 seconds!? are you in the Experimental build? I know for a fact in the Regular build you sit there for maybe 10-15 seconds no more than that. In both HC & Regular.

Yes but you may need to play with some of the graphics settings to get it just right. Also just right in the Open land is totally different than Just right in Cherno/Elektro. Read some of the Graphics Enhancement posts to get an idea of what to toy with.

I have no problems finding guns. Long Range Scopes are pretty much the Rarest item in the game for me.. I can only find them off the bodies of those i KILL! :P School has a chance to spawn a M4 on the 3rd floor room shelves along with just about any other gun. School Roof has a chance to spawn Mosin, SKS, Shotgun & Blaze. (Secret secret. If you perform a step over the blocked in area in the middle of the top roof.. you can stand in it.. There appears to always be an item, gun or ammo in that area that is unseen.) Piano House.. also know as 3 door 2 story building.. and who knows what else.. has a REALLY high rate for SKS, Mosin, Blaze & Shotgun. Fire Stations i have more luck with Pistols than any Rifle. Office building 3rd floor where everything appears to be barricaded has a decent chance for a Rifle. Also what gives with all these Darn SKS's everywhere yet the ammo is super rare.

I've been seeing an ever increasing number of Bambi's who attempt to attack anyone with a gun.. They will scream in voice chat "PLEASE DONT SHOOT! FRIENDLY!" then try to flank you for a punch to the head. Even if you approach a bambi & explain your Friendly trying to protect them and provide food/water.. They still attack you.. Cause they know that 1 lucky punch to the head will knock you the F out. Pretty much turns friendly people into KOS players. Hey there is a sniper over looking Kamshovo (Surprised!?). Well lets go stop this guy from killing defenseless bambi's! Get to the location sneaking up.. Bami's charge you while you are in a gun fight with the Sniper.. trying to punch you.. Ask them repeatedly to we are friendly help or leave. They don't care they just want your gear. The point is.. There is pretty much no point anymore to being friendly in this game. I give people 1 warning.. to leave.. They don't I drop them where they stand. f is see a naked Bambi i KOS because TBH naked = 100% run up & punch you in the face steal your gear players. PS: Nurf Punching... 1 punch to the head = knocked out for 1 minute.. is pretty freaking OP.

When you hit P to see who is on the server you can also see other data. Latency, Bandwidth & Desync. We obviously know what latency is & that dreaded Desync. But what exactly is Bandwidth & what is it telling us? I've see most people normally run 150-500 bandwidth. Many times i find my self running 400-800. I've been on several servers where i see Clan/Tagged Players running 2k-11k. Could this have something to do with your location? (High density Cities with Zombies & Players?) Thus you are using more bandwidth? I've noticed when i play with friends we could be next to each other with the same latency yet i always have 100-500 more bandwidth than they do. Some of them defeantly have a better/faster ISP. Similar or even better PCs. Thanks,

I may do more research on this as well. I also wonder if your location can play a roll on this. Perhaps people in Cherno\Chapaevsk\Dubky\Novoselky (being densely populated city) could play a major roll. Perhaps knowing a Clan/tagged players are running in the 2k+ range may be an indicator they are in that area? Its an idea.. I may test it out and see what my bandwidth with a team of people do when we enter populated areas. I have noticed even with TONS of gear on myself & a friend.. When we are out in the middle of nowhere our bandwidth doesn't break 400.

Let me re-direct you to one of my posts yesterday. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/174592-krasnostav-home-of-nra-members/#entry1783510 Honestly their is gear, food & weapons in other towns inland. My first play through. I think i spawned on one of the small towns of the east coast. Everything was looted. I knew this because i watched tons of YouTubers and knew where to look. I went in land.. 1st town inland i found was pretty picked over. I went in deeper.. Next town was completely untouched. The deeper i went the more & more gear i found. I made it to the Military base just south of NWAF before i finally ran across my 2nd human player... who KOSed me. I was a little upset, but also excited i lasted sooo freaking long with out dying. Also. The more we play the more we discovered that most players are predictable. Everyone.. seems to hover between Balota & Kamyshovo. I've been with teams who wanted to camp high loot spots like Rify, NEAF or NWAF.. All seem to be great ideas & watching YouTubers it seemed to be the most Challenging as you are more likely to find fully geared teams.. Honestly nothing happens.. You sit their for HOURS doing nothing.. We have even tried server hopping High Pop Servers before they put in that long spawn timers.. Nothing.. Heck many times HighPop Servers the NEAF/NWAF is untouched.. Practically gold mines for looting. Everyone is down at Elektro flexing their Military Arms. just my 10cents.

This is a a bit of tonuge & cheek post. On a decently pop server i think 28/40. Spawned not far from Rify. Made my way to Rify.. Isn't sh** on the boat except 1 Blaze 95 rifle no ammo... Made my way to NEAF.. Not a damn thing other than Boots.. lots of boots. also Lots of Soda & 45acp rounds. Rather disappointed at this time. Moved onto Krasnostav. There is sooooo much loot in this town it wasn't even funny. Enough food to feed an army. 4 SKSs 2 Mosins 1 M4 2 Mags. 2 FnX. I didn't even explore every house.. Just those houses everyone knows will have some kind of useful loot. I kid you not.

Lets also look at your gameplay. From your words. So in otherwords you don't go ANYWHERE there could be other players or even HACKERS in the game. Your only form of human interaction is these forums where you just Troll all day long. How could you see/find a hacker if you hide in the hills where no one explores Alt-Tab'ed trolling forums?

My system and these settings appear to be working pretty darn good for me so far. Getting Pretty darn good FPS out side of town.. In Towns i would say 20-30fps I've tried everything its like a roadblock. Also.. CPU only gets maybe 60% utilized not matter what i change in the settings including Load distance ect. ============================= AMD Phenom X6 1100T (@ 4GhZ) Asus Sabertooth 990FX Mobo 16GB RAM 1600MHz (4x4GB) AMD Radeon 6970 2GB 2x Ocz Vertex 3 SSD - Raid 0 Steam Launch Options -world=ChernarusPlus -cpuCount=6 -exThreads=7 -maxMem=15360 -maxVram=2048 -noSplash -noPause DayZ.cfg Myname.DayZProfile

Just had the same issue happen to me & a friend at the same exact time. Tried the high ping server idea.. didn't work. :( Lost everything. Had this 1st standing toon for almost 2 weeks... was doing a good job of staying safe & hunting spawn snipers.

Beards - Yes. Beard Growth over time - Yes. Wait.. What about Female toons?

Some people maybe just trying to provide feedback on issues & such. Sometimes it may come across as complaining but it could also just be constructive feedback with a negative tone. Worse part is when you get asshat trolls who don't provide any feedback or suggestions other than spouting "trololol its a alpha l2p.". Vs. the nicer community members may actually go "hey friend this is a known issue (Link to future patch notes) here is where they talk about fixing it. Please be patient it may be fixed next week!" Now for those who say "This game sucks balls because of broken mechanics." yeah.. its a alpha just chill. Maybe come back later when it hits Beta. I know when i was in FireFall early days it was painful, I got to a point where i pretty much had to stop playing it.. When i returned 2-3 months later it was 100% better but not complete. but defiantly better.

Saw a guy today.. bright pink & white Bennie. poped him right in the head with the M4.. saw blood spewing out of his head. He ran behind a Tree & Combat logged. baffles me how you survive a 50m M4 round to the head. Perhaps (Healthy Status) + gear (Armor?) counts for all body parts? gave him enough to survive that shot?

I have 2 boxes i run Day Z on. The closest thing i got to your POS system is my POS Crapple BookPro i7 HD4000 1280x800 8GB RAM & 5400rpm drive Yeah crapple. But it runs. Start off. Ok next part. Those are my Crapple settings so far.. i would say i get 30+ fps outside. 20-30fps in towns like Elektro. Steam Shortcut settings. for my box.. they will not all match yours.. (CPU, Mem & Vram is different than mine i am sure.) Steam > DayZ Properties > Set Launch Options

Holy crap.. Friend & I just watched a pair of guys Ghost 3 or 4 groups in Elektro. 2 very well geared guys with M4's. All we had was Pistols. We watched from our window off in the distance. As they would come up on buildings leaning into the walls.. Then poof disappear. Shortly later.. M4's going off like CRAZY.. then the guys we saw log out just outside of the buildings. come walking out of that very same building untouched.. One by one, building after building. It was as if they knew where EVERY single camping person/group was. They finally came to our building.. We couldn't believe it.. How did they even know we were here!? When they logged into the rooms we were in. and mow us down. We both unloaded our Mag's into them point blank range & it did NOTHING to them. We have noticed when we log into a server we can't do shit for about 5 seconds. Even after that we get that wonderful Desync for another 5 seconds. Be lucky to see our guns get placed in our hands. Pretty much a 5-10 seconds sitting duck.. But these guys.. Holy crap. Appeared.. less than a second later gun in hand. maybe the 2nd second.. begin to unload it on us... I wonder if it could be possible to be told who killed you.. This way we could report any possible cheaters/hackers. Name - Server - Time. Description of what happened. We could FRAPS it all day but that wouldn't mean crap if we don't know who it is on a 40 person server.

The game overall is terrible graphics engine. My gaming rig can run BF4 with Ultra/High Graphics & still getting solid 50-60fps. Yet you have to run this game with low graphics with tons of cfg file tweaks to hopefully get more than 20 fps in cities. Even ARMA2 DayZ MOD runs smoother than this game. 2 cents on Gamma thing. I have a MacBookPro running Win 8.1 for some gawd awful reason EVERY game i try playing on this the Gamma/brightness has to be raised up a TON nearly max to even equal the standard light of every other gaming rig. I blame Crapple for this. Even games i run under OSx has this issue. I actually wonder how well this game would run if they would just port it over to the ARMA3 engine.

Yes i am very aware of lag & bad NETCODE (Battlefield 4....). My ISP is fine. I get 30-80ms in DOTA2, BF4, & many more games. DAYZ it depends on the server. Most NA servers i see 30-100ms. Desyncs are random but almost always guaranteed at the start. EU Servers i get 100-200ms. This was a NA Sever. We stayed because we were in aw at this and honestly thought if they did it to us.. we would be ready.. And technically we were. Or so we thought. Guess it is time to install good ol'FRAPS again. I am rather glad at least 70+% of the Forum Community is fairly friendly & providing decent feedback.. Going to start testing this REPORT option on the other 30% who always provide terrible feedback & always attempting to Troll constructive conversations.

Reading is not your strong point

Ok.. After seeing this. Other Places: Chernarus (DayZ) by ultrabrilliant <snip> I really want to see DayZ SA ported to the ARMA 3 Engine just in time for BETA/Before Release!?

Hopefully just for the Hardcore servers. :P
