Yeah well, even if that sounds sarcastic, but look what happened to earlier BI games and how they are "optimized" today... Maybe with the success of Dayz some things will change, but they have quite a reputation for not optimizing their games, so please understand people who are sceptical as well...

Dont want to call this a lie, but its close i guess... Specially since it largely depends on the CPU, not that much on GPU (depending on settings). I got a 270x and a Phenom II quad 3.6 GHZ, and in cities I can only dream of 40+ FPS, as can almost everyone. And that is partly because of poor engine design, which renders everything in front of you, even if its blocked by something else.

Is there any way to influence the Player view distance? (Distance at which you see other players, zombies) As far as I understood, PreferredObjectViewDistance is only for buildings, trees etc, and Object details also only influences the detail/density of those? So what would influence the distance to see other players?

Guess for the moment he has to live with it..... (sorry :p)

Seems often the same with the DayZ development, already in the mod before: It often goes from one extreme to the other, small reasonable adjustments seem to be hard, no matter if it concerns spawn rates, zombie aggro behavior or whatever... If something is to low: increase it to 500%... if something is to high: Decrese it to 20% or less... Really hope that will change in the future development I hope its just a bug though, but am not convinced of that...

Then lets agree its different levels of server hopping ;) But while the very severe variant is possible without problems, I cannot really blame any people who just switch the servers without and bad intents. "Breaking point has(had) a 8 minute timer if you try to switch servers too quickly....its amazing and removed all issues with ghosting or loot farming...but they have loot respawn. so it will work once we have loot respawn, because then you can actually get loot. or if there is none, there will be some spawning eventually...not like it is now where if there is none, there is none until restart" <-------- I totally agree with that and hope something like that gets implemented, I did not mean that I do not want anything done against server hopping ;)

Sorry, but this is seriously bullshit... Sure it is server hopping if you stay at some high value loot site and change servers, to quickly loot the same site several times... And if you do it intentionally to "ghost", it is of course not ok... But if i run to different villages and after one hour see that everything is looted, or the server is lagging too much, or my friends play on another server and I want to switch, you can not seriously put that on the same level as someone sitting in a barrack and switching between 20 servers, can you?
