    How DayZ Can Go From Calm To Crazy In 3 Minutes

    Should've shot him in the head for that dope SMERSH vest and backpack.

    DayZ minimum/recommended Specs and your rig

    How much of your CPU/GPU does DayZ make use of? My usage goes to 90+% when standing in the forest or near the shore. When I'm in a city, it drops to the previously mentioned values.

    DayZ minimum/recommended Specs and your rig

    No, I don't even recognize where you are. Are you in Novo or Svetlo? EDIT: Also, to add to that, max settings being all settings at... max? Like, the highest possible? Just for e-peen purposes, not that most people play with them maxed out. I can get up to 150 FPS in places besides cities. When I run into Novo/Svetlo, my FPS drops down to 30 or so, and my GPU usage drops down to around 20-30%. The one core of my CPU that DayZ uses also drops down to 18-25%, so any claims of people getting that much better results than me with similar hardware leaves me skeptical. RV3 is the least optimized engine in the world. Using not even half of my computer's resources when shit gets demanding is pretty sad.

    DayZ minimum/recommended Specs and your rig

    Pretty sure I was fairly specific in saying record a video in Novodmitrovsk with maximum settings. None of the questions you spammed there really matter; I'd be impressed to see a solid 60 FPS in Novodmitrovsk/Svetlojarsk with just yourself on an empty server. I have a fairly decent setup with just my processor being slightly dated, but it is running at 5.2GHz, and I don't get near 60 FPS in those areas, nor does my buddy who's running a 5960x and Titan Black. Also, whether or not the recording caps at 60 FPS is fine; I'd be impressed to even see a solid 60 FPS in the major cities. You could always screenshot your frame rate, too.

    Ballistic helmet + gas mask = not compatible. Why?

    Top-right hand corner of your profile lets you edit it. Click that button and you'll see an option to edit your signature.

    The reason behind KoS: ?

    "I defend the weak and only shoot those who present themselves as a threat. Blah, blah, blah. I'm such a good person and I only ever do what is morally and ethically correct." FORGET SUCH WEAK THOUGHTS. You know you want to shoot everyone you see. Maggots usurping your claimed land. Stealing your goods. CLAIMED. EDIT: sorry, li'l tipsy when i posted this :D

    Rise up, KOSers! RISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE!

    Ballistic helmet + gas mask = not compatible. Why?

    Every fucking hat in the game clips through masks to some extent. It was a pretty pointless change.

    What do you think about realism in DayZ?

    Obviously my post went light years over your head. Thanks for comin' out, though.

    DayZ minimum/recommended Specs and your rig

    Throw us a bone and record a video of your FPS in Novodmitrovsk on max settings. Also, don't think your monitors affect FPS.

    Anyone else playing as a hoarder currently?

    Where do they swipe the card? /flees in terror/

    Anyone else playing as a hoarder currently?

    I've found five so far. They generally spawn in the domed tents in tent city at NWAF and Myshkino.

    DayZ minimum/recommended Specs and your rig

    No, that's just the currently shitty optimization. My specs are in my signature (2600K @ 5.2GHz, memory @ 2133MHz, 2x Raid 0 120GB SSDs, 2x Raid 0 1TB 7,200rpm/64MB cache HDDs) and I get similar frame rates in cities. I doubt anyone gets more than this in the larger cities like Novodmitrovsk and Chernogorsk. If they do, I'd love to see some video proof.

    Character Wipe?

    Why not just play the game and deal with wipes if/when they occur? I have just as much fun in DayZ whether I'm fully geared or running around half naked flailing an ashwood stick in my hands. EDIT: also, never say the "ch" or "h" words around here ;3

    Audio . . . (fix?)

    This is a VERY known issue. Use the search function. :/

    Easter Eggs? Aliens? Mysteries? [Official]

    In other news, I wouldn't keep my first aid kit in my pants if I were you, especially if it contains morphine.

    How do you hacksaw the shotgun?

    You can't use the hacksaw on the MP-133. You can only use it on the IZH-43.

    how much gorka does it take. ...

    You won't get wet from rain with just a jacket equipped. If you jump in a pool of water, you're going to get wet regardless of what you're wearing. EDIT:

    how much gorka does it take. ...

    You just need the jacket. I never wear hats (except the odd ghillie hood) and never get wet after finding a raincoat or Gorka jacket.

    Can't add remote servers to favourites?

    No, but it's better than making a new thread. I think a bump once a month is acceptable. This issue has been ongoing since launch. I doubt it'll be fixed any time soon. It's definitely aggravating, especially when the "Add to favorites" button is on the Remote tab.

    Can anyone explain this?

    Lews Therin Telamon, anyone? Dragonmount!
