Zero basicly means you have set the gun to shoot at a set distance. On sks I think the lowest is 50 up to 300 meteres. Shooting at a target close to you with a zeroing at 300 will cause the gun to shoot alot higher than you aim. If you havnt messed with it, it should be set to standard at 100, which is completely fine.

I havn't fought too much in police station, so I'm not entirely sure. However when I have fought in them, the shots seems to hit invisible walls alot. Seems like it's more the building then anything else. I do have to ask though: Did you have zero right? Was your fps decent at the time? When my fps goes down the drain, I can't even punch zombies... Would be nice if anyone can confirm, or deny, my allegations towards the policestation-building thingy. In particular shooting in the main doors at the front. Cheers.

Word of the day? :D I learned one atleast, thanks umberfive and google.

Then I missunderstood you, my apologies :) My "rage quits" consist of just turning off the game and resetting my head, going outside helps alot for me in competetive games.

Not sure I can aggree with this statement. Anger is simply an emotion, it's completely justified to get mad. It is perhaps wierd to get angry at something you are trying to entertain yourself with, but considering how movies and books play with your emotions, I see no reason why games can aswell. If you sincerely only find joy in the game, I think that's a wonderful thing, but I like emotionally bumpy road in DayZ. Concerning the "win" part, I do aggree, however you'r still left with a bitter feeling once killed, fairly or not. Subjective I quess, but I'd argue most arn't happy dying atleast :)

Hello! I have had a problem for quite some time now. Each time I restart DayZ, settings are reset to a certain point a few months back. In addition, when I press "config" other settings are rolledbacked to what it was when I first opened the game. This include, but is not limited to: Mouse sensitivity (which since the last patch I have to fix every time), keybindings and obviously the view distance, which I have realised is intentional. In recent patches, with changed mouse sensitivity, I constantly have to go into that first. Set it to what I want, and then go fix the view bar how I want it at the time. This become kinda tedious when moving in the northeast area around the airfield as I constantly feel I'd like the camera slightly different quite often. So I just wanted to ask, as I've seen no post concerning this, if there is a simple fix to this issue. I have tried to simply reinstall, however to no success. I figured there's a way to try to "repair" the client, but as I've never done it, I'm not really sure how that works. Any information or opinions on how to fix this is greatly appreciated. For now thanks for reading.

When several incidents occure in a row, such as; hackers kills me, the server desync kills me or if I am killed by anything bug related (glitchers included). After taking several of these to the face I have come to sometimes ragequit lately, mostly because I play the PvP role of the game, going to airports etc. I see ALOT of the wallglitchers and m4-scripters, which have gotten WAY out of hand. So ye, dying in succession for reason beyond my own play-skills/style, makes me ragequit ocassionally. That beeing said, bugwise, other than people glitching inside the walls. Dying from falls and zombie oneshots isnt that maddening to me, it just is, hopefully fixeses are imminent.

I have problems using guns that I pick up from bodies, same as my friends. Can't look down the scopes or fire before I relog with a "hand-me-down" weapon. Don't believe I've tried with a pistol yet, but I was wondering if this was a known issue as I've yet to find any threads discussing it. Or if someone else have the same problem.

if possible, use high ground in stairs. Also hit early. zombies are somewhat closer than they appear to be, and your hit-animation is usely somewhat delayd. Works for me atleast.

It's a good game to just "hang out" in. I play it simply because one of my closest friend started playing it, and opted I'd try it out aswell. It's a relativ cheap game for -200hours gametime (so far), and even though it can get frustrating at times; in about 10 minutes I forget about it and move on. I play alot as a PvPer, and as the game is sorta like an fps simulator with no imba fast movement and easy controlls as in Cod cs or battlefield, I feel tactical thinking and teamplay shines more easily in this game. (long sentence, but hopefully you get what I mean). As for the medic and hero side of things, the game has potential. However I fear players won't act on it that much, and the playstyle will probably be nonplayable-ish/frustrating for a long time forward. What would make me quit the game? Quite simple really, if I have none to play it with, I will probably not play it myself.

Believe this to be correct aswell, atleast you hear more, but anything over 32 seems to do little or nothing in my experience. DONT put it at 16, my friends playd with that forever, trying to fix performance, he didnt hear shit... By which I mean he heard about 50% of gunshot in the distance. PS; by amount I dont really think its the actually number of sources, think its counted in "mb", could be wrong though.

I crawled around in a tight spot, broke my legs and died. Not even the first time, I really should stay away for the Z button when not in a huge open area...

I see my own bodies long after I've died, thats to say; after it has despawned for everyone else. Can't loot them obviously, but they won't go away for that whole server reset. My point beeing you might've not been quick enough to reach your own body? If you was, then I would assume it has something to do with the glitch that killed you. Had some issues looting bodies that strafed through walls/floors/bushes etc. myself.

M4 for anything at 300 and below, 400 if I have it with acog. Long range is mosin, too strong dat gun. Meele, lets go with doctor freeman's god old crowbar, even though it seems more effective against aliens.

"Fully geared" to me feels like that point when I actually start caring if my char dies or not. The moment I start beeing more careful is when I have; full cloth-set with assault vest (anything more than damaged), a primary with a scope, if mosing etc I want a secondary on the side. Food and openers are usely easy enough to find and I'm not too bothered with that, however, if I got a improved improvised backpack I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT. Disclaimer; I like to PvP when I have gathered some gear. Looking for action often times get me killed, so "fully" geared comes quite soon for me.. Atleast the feeling of beeing geared.
