    What happened to this game?

    wuffi (DayZ) posted a topic in Troubleshooting

    Ok i took a 4 month break from dayz... But today i thought i should give it a try again (because i love the idea of dayz) OK the game was allways laggy and bugged when i took the brake(especially in big cities) but right now i get disconnected every 5 minutes + if this does not happen i get weird graphic failures all the time and then the game becomes a slide show, My record now is 10 minutes without getting disconnected or the game just freezes with really weird graphic failures. (ok in therory i still can play it once it freezes because hey i still get about 1-2 frames per second) btw. i used the same hardware 4 month ago (and back then it was at least playable)... .

    What happened to this game?

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to wuffi (DayZ)'s topic in Troubleshooting

    Well i can definitely rule out hardware problems because all other games "even on way higher settings" run as usuall. And as said dayz was far away from running perfect when i took the brake but at least it was playable, Right now even on low graphic settings (something i never used 4 month ago) the game becomes a slide show after 5-10 minutes. (ok usually i get the "not responding message" after 3-4 minutes first ;)

    So is the map on skyrim for example but i never had any preformance issues. But the big cities in dayz are a constant pain in the a$$

    Hey i just broke my leg while standing around somewhere in the woods and eating some food ;)

    Glitchy scopes.

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to Crazy_Spider's topic in General Discussion

    You can forget long range sniping at the moment. I can´t even hit freaking zombies anmore. i needed about 40 shots to kill a standing zombie at 700m (dont know if he was really 700 away because hey who needs to see were your shots land /S)
  6. wuffi (DayZ)
    MAybe i simple lost the feeling for the weapons (because i stopped playing dayz for a while) But now it looks like i miss every time because i no longer know the bullet travel time : And without seeing the impact its just impossible for me to get the "feeling" for the gun back ;(
  7. wuffi (DayZ)
    Well THANKS ALOT! (I will do the math tomorow when i´m sober) ;) But this really helps. (of course if the game would simple show me the impact (like it did before "HELLO DEVS!!!") there would be no need for math because you get a feeling for the travel time at different ranges.
  8. wuffi (DayZ)
    Oh really? /S But to be serious. YES i own and shoot guns and rifles (even crossbows ;) But in real life i can look at my groupings and adjust my scope. Something i can´t do in day Z (yeah i know i can allso adjust the range but how do i adjust it if i don´t see if the shot was to low or high???) And since i don´t snipe on people running around (not even for training ;) in real life yeah hitting a running human on 500 meters would definitely be a problem for me with a real gun. But then again in a computer game i DO snipe at people and fact is i want to learn how to hit them! (In the game ;)
  9. wuffi (DayZ)
    Well if we talk about "real" weapons wind (especially from the side) has a BIG impact on bullets on long range. And for example lets say a standart 5,56 assault rifle usually has a V0 (the speed the bullet has the moment it leaves the barrel) between 800-990 Metres per second. But the same bullet only has a speed of 500-600 Ms at 300 meters. So thats a big difference. But ok this was real life and we are talking weapons in computer games ;) But to be a good sniper in computer games i still have to know the travel time to hit moving targets.
  10. wuffi (DayZ)
    Forget sniper hill (because i NEVER snipe from well known positions) btw i have no problem if its hard. As long as there is a way to calculate it... (But for this i have to see my shots landing). I´m usually a pretty good sniper (in computer games ;) "because i allways snipe if a game gives me the option" as long as the game gives me a fair chance to calculate the shots.
  11. wuffi (DayZ)
    Thanks but does the Muzzle velocity allways stays the same in this game? (if so i can work with this :) Or does it drop (just like in reallife) at bigger distance?
  12. wuffi (DayZ)
    Well maybe on stable. But on experimental i looks like most people are a lot more peacefull. From 5 encounters usually at least 4 end without even a single shot fired. While on stable it´s usually KOS everytime (sometimes even if you are still in Bambi mode ;(

    put the wind in

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to Shrub Rocketeer ™'s topic in General Discussion

    So you want NO sniping at all in day z? Then why have a longe range scope anyway? Because without bullet impact + wind you could also close your eyes before pulling the trigger. Absolutely no chance to hit anyting on long range. I mean how do i adjust my shots if i don´t know if it was to high, low, left... let alone how long the bullet took to get there? btw. I can shoot running people on long range in other games. (i did it on day z too before they removed bullet impact... But now a hit on a moving target is simple pure luck and this is even WITHOUT wind)

    put the wind in

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to Shrub Rocketeer ™'s topic in General Discussion

    LOL as if long range sniping wouldn´t allready be impossible without the bullet impact.
  15. wuffi (DayZ)
    Wrong it still took about 5 hits with my splitting axe to get a zombie down. Oh btw on a hill near the airfield i got overun with zombies. i barely had time to reload my mosin because they spawned over and over next to me.
  16. wuffi (DayZ)
    Well in general i´m all for "headshot only" to kill a Zombie BUT with their current speed, the none existing walls, the sometimes horrible framerates in cities and the fact that we no longer see the bullet impact on longer ranges makes its as good as impossible to give zeds headshots without at least wasting 20 bullets for every zombie!
  17. wuffi (DayZ)
    Just wait untill a Zombie jumps out of a wall and kills you with ONE hit. Especially "funny" when you looted for hours to get a sound gear ;)

    things that make you rage quit

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to Samps's topic in General Discussion

    What annoys me the most are the single shot pistols. I mean sorry devs but the feeled 1 magazine that exists for maybe 50 guns on the whole map is soooo annoying...
  19. wuffi (DayZ)
    In personal i´m alive for about 10 hours now. (I guess my avatar starts to smell ;) Killed about 10 people (and got shot 2 times but survived the hits ;) Since i got my long range scope my survival time has increased dramatically because i only have to loot the big cities when my ammo runs out .

    Long range scope Question?

    wuffi (DayZ) posted a topic in General Discussion

    Today i started long range sniping. But at 800 m (for example) my bullets allways land a little bit left of the crosshair. Is this a bug or is this because i use a "damaged" LRS? (Its not a big problem anyway because once you know it its easy to compensate) but i just want to know if a pristine one would also fire to the left?
  21. wuffi (DayZ)
    Well i had those crashes every few hours too (two weeks ago). But since then not a single crash (i had a few bluescreens ;) because of my graphic card, btw. I did not change anything so maybe the devs allready fixed it.
  22. wuffi (DayZ)

    Vests

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to cj14's topic in General Discussion

    Me too. A anti stab vest? Wow not in my 100 hours of the game :) but i allways find the UK assault vests very soon.
  23. wuffi (DayZ)

    will they add Glock 17 or Steyr AUG ?

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to brumey's topic in General Discussion

    i would like to see more russian weapons. I mean we allready have the m4 wich is definitely NOT a weapon you will find in eastern europe or russia in real life ;)

    Long range scope Question?

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to wuffi (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    Yeah but long range shots at running targets is a pain in the a$$ :) My record is a hit on 700 meters (but i guess it took me 20 Bullets ;) Ps: ok just got killed ;( Now i´m a bambi again ;)

    Long range scope Question?

    wuffi (DayZ) replied to wuffi (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    Yeah the mosin recoil s*cks, but when you use it with bipod + compensator you will see (at least most times because sometimes you can shoot on a wall at 500 and you will see no impact at all ;) " i guess this is a bug" your shots as long as you fire prone.
