so this is apparently some kinda bug as I have read a ton of posts that say "I spawned naked, hydrated, healthy and energized in vybor" since .46 rolled to stable.

on the topic of the freezes I just noticed that when I get one of those (they last from 10 secs to almost 30 secs) the sound quality has a significant change to it the second my toon is free to move again. maybe it is sound related... guess I should check the feedback tracker.

I can see myself filling the fire station in cherno with every zed in town....

man I hate that. sometimes I even loose a mag as a result. lost a 75rd drum that way once then tossed the AK a few mins later (I'm a mosin girl all the way). so yeah I am all for removing reload from the F key. and Ninja, don't they need to add latex for that?

umm alpha stage = adding content, beta stage = fixing content. patience.

the batteries in cheap disposable watches last for years. my favorite watch didn't use batteries and wound itself. my timex camper watch was a manual wind. and oddly enough all of these were also water resistant or water proof. watch tech is amazing.

your friend is correct and apparently the crash sites are bugged on stable (someone else will need to verify that) so your best bet to get an M4 is to take it from someone that already has one. there are several maps that show where the crash sites spawn, a quick google search will turn up quite a few, I recommend the dayztv.com map for this. good luck.

give this a read... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/190827-dayz-support/

what's wrong with the water in the lake?

this is your answer.... I have gone from fresh spawn to dark green energized and hydrated on just berries in under 20 mins. of course I still only had a flashlight for inventory but at least I wasn't starving. oh and the non-poisonous berries seem to grow all over almost every town I have been in.

hey you might make it into a youtube vid - would love to see the ragdoll from a full sprint.

tada! http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/160262-need-medical-assistance-in-dayz-sa-find-your-medic-here/

you can also search the forest floor for sticks - if you still need assistance send me a pm with details and we will work something out

permanent notes would be nice - you can already add notes to the map but they only last for the session - relog kills the notes. to the OP, I use the ingame map all the time and I have no problems with it other than the fact I have to put it together but lately maps are everywhere so that's not really a problem either. I am sorry you can't seem to find your way around in such a small area but give it time and eventually you will know all of chernarus like the back of your hand. adding more to the ingame map other than something like permanent notes will just greatly oversimplify something that is already easy. did you want someone to come hold you hand while exploring too?

yeah I read some of that yesterday - however I am pretty sure they are still looking over the "single pellet" problem.

I'm sorry that you purchased FRAPS as Shadowplay with the NVidia card records with little to no loss of frames and comes with the GeForce Experience (it captures video directly from the GPU). the game overall is very CPU heavy and something that I have discovered in my own search for better frames is a new phenomenon with multi-core processors - CPU Parking - research this and choose a solution that bests fits your situation. I would recommend the Microsoft solution to having parked cores but that's just because I am paranoid about 3rd party tools. also have a good look at this fairly comprehensive guide. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/28cla2/dayz_sa_frame_optimization_launch_options_fov/ good luck and have fun!

umm if you don't like how the shotgun works then don't use it. in the mean time there are plenty of peeps that just like the way it looks and had you been following the threads on current builds you might be aware of the fact that the shotgun issues are known and are being investigated - why all of the massive over-reach on your part?? remove it from the game.... just silly.

the new NEAF is a work in progress so it may be a little early to tell if we like it or not. for me its just different - I don't see it as better or worse but my game never depended on anything from NEAF.

characters are not always reset when updates occur, in fact I do not recall any resets for stable and only one or two for experimental. there are occasionally problems with the hives that cause you get a reset character but usually you will be notified by the server when that happens. you have the same character on stable that you had before the update but you might have had an inadvertent character reset on experimental (I did) as I am not sure that one was actually planned. if you just happen to want a fresh start I would be happy to meet you at balota some time :P

exp and stable are at the same version currently

rock on! my pleasure sir.

so it doesn't bother me that people jump for a better spawn, I've been known to do it myself and sometimes I just want to start over after 3 days of running, it does bother me that the accumulated player bodies drag down the server (this will hopefully change in future builds). having said that, I am all for needing a higher place to jump from, that way you have to at least spend some time looking for a place high enough and just maybe you will reconsider your decision to jump. so are there still plans for a suicide animation with a handgun?

investigate "CPU parking" its possible that you are not fully utilizing your CPU cores.

a couple of us asked Hicks when he announced that experimental was coming back up but we never got a response from Hicks. although we did get the "login and find out like the rest of us" crap from a couple of other tweeters - peeps just be so rude these days.

I just got the update (really small one too) and its looking like a char reset at the moment - can anyone else confirm that? but anyways the servers are up
