You forgot the fog. Well, global warming has even hit Chernarus. Deal with it.

I do not torture and everybody who says he does it, just because it is possible, has some serious mental problems in my opinion. It is obvious that the torture in DayZ doesn't have or shouldn't have any impact on the other players psyche, but what we do defines our personality. And it is more obvious that such a thread would start a hot discussion.

Also check the logs. I experienced freezes of 1-2 seconds not long ago until I realized that my second hard drive had problems and was near death.

An exploit is the misusage of a feature to reach otherwise inaccessible function. A bug is an error in program code which makes that exploit possible. But it is not limited to software. A hack is the discovery of such bugs and the corresponding exploits. A hacker isn't necessarily the person who cracks the system. Please correct me, if I am wrong on any part.

I do not know about Windows 8.1, because my HDD with it had some problems and I unplugged it before it totally crashes, but my brother-in-law had the same problem last evening. He uses Windows 7 Ultimate and his problem has been solved when he deactivated MSI Afterburner. I do not know if that helps, but look for other programs that also use the directx interface and could conflict with the game.

Understood! Didn't know about that.

You are on the right way, but in the wrong forum. You are here in the SA part. Look for DayZ commander and try to play over that. You still need Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA for this.

Not really. In software development there are branches. What we can see here are the stable branch and the experimental branch. Those are accessible in the early access alpha. You can bet that internally BI has some more branches for all the development departments like AI, animations and so on. When those branches are complete or thought to be complete, they are merged to the experimental branch for mass testing and interoperation. If that works, the experimental branch is merged to the mainline or the stable branch. Depends on how they are called by BI. We can only see, what BI wants us to see, but there is much more and programing is much more than Hypercard made us think. Beta on the other hand is known as feature complete but bugged. Sometimes you have to test patches, which you call "unfinished", to see, how they behave in the whole. Even if your life doesn't resolve around the forum, you should still have caught some things.

For gear, for fun, for their ego, because they can. Simple.

I'd go for SA. And I wouldn't just go for it to bridge the time until H1Z1 comes out. Sony is like my countries government. They talk and pledge like shit, but at the end many are disappointed. I started with SA, but decided to try the mod too. Both are fun. But if you prefer H1Z1 just for the promised features, you should save your money.

1755+ posts and nothing learned. PS: experimental != beta

I hope that the update comes and with it the wipe. I threw my 6 month old pristine press vest away yesterday. The wipe has to come and after that I will start from scratch.

I learned it is 3 to 6 seconds, but it is definitely stupid to wait before throwing. If you ever have a chance to throw a real grenade, do it. And take cover. I miss those times.

That is correct, but the inaccessible RAM in his case is about 6 GB. That is too much. I run Windows 7 Professional and the accessible RAM is 8 of 8 GB. Either he uses a restricted version of Windows, like Windows 7 Home Basic for example, which is even in 64 Bit limited to 8 GB, or he somehow unknowingly managed to artificially reduce his RAM in msconfig.

Back in the days when those bastards were still bulletproof, I used them for target practice. Never seen one since the last two patches.

When reading R.A.F, I always think about the "Rote Armee Fraktion", which has been a terroristic group in the seventies. I also think that the M4A1 should not spawn so often and as far as I know, blue helmets carry the weapons which are provided by their own country.

I hope that the kindergarten closes soon and the kiddies have to go to bed. It is sad, that some spoiled kids do not understand what challenges are.

Is it possible that you use Windows 7 Home Basic 64 Bit? That one is limited to 8 GB. Sorry for the slight off topic.

8 usable? I do not understand. 15 FPS in cities is okay for now. That is average for most people. Intel CPUs perform better than AMD. Even my 8 core AMD does not perform better than your 4 core phenom.

It's very odd, that hacker pop up in the forums when they get banned and one never hears about them again. This thread will soon be closed with the obvious answer already given. "What goes around, comes around."

I don't play all the time, but movies and TV aside, books also need some imagination. Just reading off the text is boring.

Sorry if I misused your local server, but for an unknown reason I cannot join any german server. But I think it should be polite to greet other people in english when playing. Consider those folks form "Deutschland" to be stupid kids. I apologize in place of them.

Lucky bastard! Recently my brother-in-law and me got swarmed by zeds in Stary. We forgot to close the door when we escaped into a house and the zeds piled up on the stairs. If it was like this in every town, that would be great.

We have a saying here: "In every man resides a child." When we loose our imagination, what else do we have?

I can recommend the police station in Berezino. Especially after a fresh server restart.
