Launch parameters besides -winxp and perhaps the ones that switch between old/new UI are useless.

Seems to be a server side (possibly global) issue, as I am experiencing this as well.

Make sure you have more than 4GB of RAM.

I just wish servers no longer needed restarts and everything was spawned and despawned dynamically, including helicrashes/police cars/vehicles.

I enjoy realism. The fun part of it, anyway.

Yes. On a private hive server, at least.

They spawn at russian helicrashes.

You intend to be homeless with nothing to eat on 2017?

If FOV slider was set so it requires game restart/server reconnect, snipers will still abuse it. The FOV slider value itself should be decreased, along with the requirement of restart. I know people like to play with like 0.3 of the slider, I'm at 0.4, some need more vision (but 1.0 is simply too extreme and looks bad, like alien vision of sort). Something like between 0.2 and 0.6 would do fine I think. Vertical FOV should also be locked (check my sig) because it makes no sense for example for one person to see the buttsock of their AKM while another only sees the handguard and up (meh example).

MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer Online. I don't think DayZ fits the "Massively" part, so I guess it is not exactly an MMO.

Casuals.

That doesn't go against realism or immersion at all.

Good riddance. You're not 10 year old COD noobs, you're casuals. Serious DayZ players won't miss you. 1PP isn't the right way to play just because I said so. 1PP is the right way to play because it's what the game is designed for: survival realism and immersion. 3PP detracts from that to the point where people start to question the devs' decision to keep it in. Just because it's in the game, it doesn't mean it should be. But then you're a casual. I can't expect you to actually look at the game at least slightly seriously.

DayZ is supposed to be a fairly realistic and immersive zombie apocalypse survival experience. It is not a player's choice to have DayZ as something else. You don't spawn with full gear. There ain't 500 vehicles. Cheats are not allowed. 3PP belongs to the category of things that simply do not belong to DayZ, regardless of what casuals say. Surely we understand the devs, money > else, as supposedly there would be a lot of dissatisfaction with 3PP removal from DayZ. Casuals make the majority, after all. I understand excuses such as clunky movement, camera position or motion sickness. Wanting to see one's character is a ridiculous excuse. Seeing yourself from behind does not add to realism and immersion, which is what the game seeks. Not even talking about corner peeking, which is essentially a legitimate cheat. As bad as it sounds, certain things should be enforced on people, restriction to 1PP being one of them. Otherwise why not add spaceships and other shit which casuals find fun, completely ruining the DayZ we know. No matter how you look at it, 3PP is a feature that does not fit DayZ regardless if people like to exploit it or not.

Make sure that there are no specific options in your server browser filters (like low ping setting, etc.)

It's possible that your CPU is throttling due to high temperatures.

FNX45. That was 2 sequantial kills in like 3 seconds at NWAF.

Pretty sure -high is a launch parameter for games on Source engine and doesn't work elsewhere. Arma 2 launch parameters should work with DayZ.

I gotta get rid of that white undershirt which is visible while wearing Bomber/Rider Jacket...

3PP, adjustable FOV.

I managed to solve my FPS drop issues by adding additional 4GB of RAM, making it 8GB in total. DayZ seems to load more and more RAM upon travelling to different areas without de-allocating it for the areas you have left, which is why it was necessary to restart the game after playing for a while before.

Going by such logic, hackers are smarter and better players than the ones that don't hack. While DayZ is a sandbox game, I don't think I would be wrong saying that you are not playing this game the way you're supposed to.

For every freshspawn you kill, you delay DayZ finish by 1 second. DayZ will never be finished.

Military barracks' windows are bulletproof.

Rurouni Kenshin? Close enough.
