Because Berezino.

I know very well that when a server restarts it'll display a "No message received..." message for 90 seconds. However, today, I've been getting this on every server so far after five or so minutes of game play. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but if you have, how did you fix it? This has never happened to me before so frequently and I'm 800 hours in. EDIT: To add to this, my wife's computer which is connected via wi-fi does not lose connection when I do on a wired connection. She is able to stay in the game without issue. When I disconnect, my internet still works fine.

When you engage someone, claim you're friendly and attempt to bait them upstairs after taking several shots because "you were scared" and "are only on the airfield for loot": When all else fails, immediately restart your server: Thanks for the laughs Darkfear of =GB=. That's almost as bad as me and my buddy rollin' half a dozen guys from [TWD] in Elektrozavodsk in a failed rush, only to have them restart their server, too. :T If this is better suited to the gallery, my apologies. If a moderator deems it a terrible thread (which it is), feel free to straight up delete it. <3

Agreed! But when I play on Regular you'd better be damned sure I'm 'sploitin' as hard as the rest of 'em, yo.

Yes. That one is called PixelVision.

I'm on another KOS streak now. It's just so fun, especially when they beg for their lives. ;3

Meh, I believe you, I just rarely find people with more played time than me:

My next question would be: how?! Followed by: why?!

Making a rant post on the day you started is obviously the best way to go about discovering core game mechanics. /facepalm This is the reason games fail.

I'm not complaining about the game itself, but the engine upon which it's based. Arma 2 and Arma 3 are pretty awful as far as performance is concerned. Arma 3 less so than its predecessor, but it's still not even close to being an optimized gaming engine. It frustrates me beyond belief when a game cannot be run well with more than adequate hardware. Anyway, DayZ is a great concept and I have faith that Dean's team will continue to dominate the genre. It's just a shame that they chose to base their standalone product on an awful engine.

Exactly. There are many things about DayZ that I love, but when you look at DayZ and then you look at titles like H1Z1, it's hard to remain faithful that the clunky, glitchy, all around terrible engine that is Real Virtuality can compete against Forgelight. FL just seems to have been made for this type of game, where as RV was most certainly not. I try and keep playing, and while I do enjoy most of my time spent on DayZ, it just feels wrong. It's like an old pair of jeans that have a rip in the crotch: you love them, they're familiar, but they're just not cuttin' it any more. ;P

Well, I've since died since I was standing out in the open on an airfield logging in and getting kicked shortly after for a brief stint, but I did have a lot of small protector cases in my inventory. I've noticed when I carry a lot of containers around silly things seem to happen, but nothing on the scale before.

So me and my buddy just experienced yet another death via cheats. It's getting a tad ridiculous, especially as it's just slowly getting worse every week. More and more people seem to be cheating as this time a month ago seeing someone using them was rare. Now it's a regular occurrence. Granted, we like to randomly PVP at airfields and around Elektro on our Regular characters, so we pretty much expect to die and have no qualms with it when it happens legitimately. But dying to precision shots taken at you while you're hiding in a room of a building and then all of a sudden seeing "You are dead" is getting pretty old. Add on top of that the kids teleporting around Elektro and Kamyshovo punching you to death, and you've got a pretty good reason to stop playing for a while. I'm remaining hopeful that a ban wave hits soon, because as it currently stands it's pretty pointless to put time into a character unless you want to skulk around the northern woods avoiding everyone.

Yeah, even with one card running it doesn't give me better frames than a single 580 did. Ah well, back to BF4!

You'll definitely hit that "DayZ cap" as I like to refer to. It seems that as long as you have a GTX 580/670 with an i5-2500k or better, you'll get the same FPS as people who have a better rig than you. I just upgraded to a pair of GTX 780 Ti CLASSIFIED video cards, and I'm not seeing any better frames from the GTX 580 I upgraded from. EDIT: However, in Battlefield 4... OMG. xD

Because post-apocalypse, the world would obviously maintain, no, improve its level of technology, right?

You should spawn randomly near a random town. To offset the potential abuse of this, if you die within ten minutes of spawning, you should be given a five minute timer before you can spawn again.

It works as of an hour ago. Set your filter to: "DayZ US 1-40" and profit. I hope this doesn't stay around, though. There is so much loot that in one run through the tents you can easily kit your M4 and a few hundred rounds of ammo. It's retarded.

If you're behind a router, go into your settings and mess around with your Beacon Interval. Mine was initially set to 100, but after dropping it in half to 50, I no longer have any issues.

Of course there's more stuff to do in the Mod, it's finished. Putting a hotspot in the middle of the map isn't going to keep people playing; we already have hotspots and people are still leaving. That's going to happen off and on until the game is released, or at the very least in beta. Do I agree that we should have more of a reason to run inland? Yes. Does it really matter and will it affect anything during the alpha? No.

I have no issues picking people off up to almost 400m. The bullet spread is fine when the MP parts are equipped. MP > stock > CQB
