    Shooting birds?

    Hello there Odd, must have been in A1 or VBS/OFP perhaps. I'm getting old, my memory is going.... Rgds LoK

    Shooting birds?

    Hello there Can we not shoot them? I'm sure I have before, or was that in Arma1? Rgds LoK

    I need help please

    Hello there If the X comes up you have a non compatable version either due to incorrect mods loaded or the version number you are running. Rgds LoK

    Laggy in Cities (Help)

    Hello there what are your advanced settings? do you use http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Startup_Parameters? Rgds LoK

    Increase view distance.

    Hello there Some severs have it unlocked. Viewdistance is great to change but can kill your fps. Rgds LoK

    Laggy in Cities (Help)

    Hello there Many systems lag in the cities, Arma is a beast compared to other games, what settings are you running on? rgds LoK
  7. Hello there No, just no. One assumes the view distance is capped at 1600 as a happy medium for overall playability and FPS on lesser machines. However, it would be nice to lower it for those plinking away on laptops etc, but you would be at a disadvantage. But, whilst working on the game, R has to draw a line on the lowest common denominator on the spec of PC on which the game will run and can't implement tools to enable it to run on all systems. It's limited by the engine and the amount of time and effort it would take. Rgds LoK

    left handed player character

    sounds a bit "sinister" to me. hint:google sinister.

    addiction

    Hello there There should be some effects for taking morphine. Seeing pink elefants/ponies etc. Everyone I've ever seen on morphine has been off their heads for 12 hours then as sick as a dog. Rgds LoK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRS41-7MTSs

    Why no single player option rocket?

    Hello there "times they are a changin'" Still, we have Arma for SP play, so don't forget the many other mods and missions that exist. Not all are pure milsim. Rgds LoK
  11. Hello there We are keeping a very close eye on this one. rgds LoK

    Why no single player option rocket?

    Hello there I have to say I'm with OP on this one. I *know* the game is touted as an MP game, but it would be nice to play SP, no matter how odd or boring others think, there is a subsection that would like to be able to. Sometimes an internet connection is just unavailable for some. I'm not saying write / code (or indeed take any time on) an entire new aspect of the game for SP, but perhaps enable an unsupported SP mode to sandbox in. AI bandits would be a nice touch but are not important (R may have stripped most combat code out regardless). Rgds LoK
  13. Hello there To jump on the 1st vs 3rd isuue, I personally think it should be a server setting and should show up in the MP browser if possible. Personally, I'm not a fan of 3rd person but I do know many folk like it. I have been chased out of other game forums for having the temerity to ask for a 1st person mod in some games. I just loathe looking at the back of someones head all the time. For me it ruins the immersion. But that's just me. Different strokes for differnt folks. The key thing is user choice IHMO. Rgds LoK

    'Fiz' is a DayZ hero!

    Hello there There are many "nice" folk out there, mostly though they are usually too wary to show themselves to "random" strangers. It's good to know there are different types of players out there. rgds LoK

    yes another fps problem

    Hello there Very odd indeed. I fail to see how updating the @dayz folder would have any impact on your rigs performance. How's the free space on drive arma lives on? Lots? litte? How are other apps functioning since this issue? rgds LoK

    New combat system bugs

    Hello there Any combat related action will put you in combat mode, as griffin says, it's a deliberate mechanic. Rgds LoK

    Jump in sales?

    Hello there We don't *have* to buy it. I'm sure there'll be those who stick with the mod version. Regardless, I hate to say it, but Dayz mod was free. Rgds LoK

    How to downgrade from 1.7.3 to 1.7.2.6

    @xxxDremeRxxx DON'T use the report button for your own personal questions, it's not there to magically summon us from the void. Thank you LoK

    Help me with this error

    Hello there Also, you say you rest your PC to factory setting? Can you expand on this? BIOS or Operating system? rgds LoK
  20. Hello there I have had this issue and it still happens now and then. Try lowering your "texture detail" and reduce your "viewdistance" if possible. Arma's textures are large and stream in from disk, so HDD speed/fraggyness may have some impact on this. Hope this helps Rgds LoK
  21. OrLoK

    yes another fps problem

    Hello there @hawky, you're not helping. @OP Arma/Dayz is very demanding on almost any rig, however, you say you were running ok before the patch? How does vanilla Arma2 play? Do the benchmark missions run well? Odd, very odd. Rgds LoK

    "Playing dead"

    Hello there I think this has come up before. The main problem is the fly buzz noise (or lack of), I have been known to put a round or two in a dead body because "it felt wrong" before approaching it, so it could turn out not to be that useful after all. Also, I wasn't aware any "rag doll" system would be in the build of RV for Dayz? Rgds LoK

    Just how bad are hackers?

    Hello there Bad news about the bike, at least that's all you lost. Scripters are horrid indeed. I do understand your frustration. Do you play on a server that has live moderators on? Have you tried a white listed server? There are ways to limit your encounter with the vileness of scripting. It used to affect the Arma community too that's why so many folk passworded their severs, although the emphasis seems to be more on Dayz now. The price of popularity eh? :) As to Spambots, we try to nuke spam from orbit as soon as we see it or receive a report. If you guys n girls could hit that 'ole "report" button on any spam post we can do our magic. Rgds LoK
