A general question before I file a bug report. Sometimes I get kicked for high ping, although the average ping is under 30 ms. Is it possible that the auto kick mechanism is to sensitive and immediatelly kicks players when they have a few short time lag spikes?

@ bistudio: I wish you happy holidays and good recreation.

When more human like behaviors are added to the zombie ai, we might see grouping zombies, suffering zombies, scared running away zombies, sneaking zombies, different callouts and gestures maybe emotions ported by sound or facial expressions. Zombies which hit the doors to get in and zombies who can climb and actually open doors, zombies who push, grab or pull away other ones or you, etc. Have you seen the video with the wolfpack? Well stuff like this can be added to Zombies, too ;) All of this can make zombies much more scary then any gore effect can.

You should get support at the homepage of the dayzlauncher. To play DayZ you don't need any arma stuff and there are no mods, it is standalone. If you are talking aboute the DayZ mod for arma II, read this

"If there is indeed a problem which results in players being disconnected without reason I'm sure the Devs will investigate and resolve any issues that may be found" Really? I have yet to see a kicking server beeing blacklisted on the hive or shut down. It is their game and they don't check it. Like they don't care if you report a problem with Battleye block legit programs like MSI Gaming app, they say contact Battleye. It is their Anti-Cheat, so they should care about it: Costumer Support == Zero Points.

I have found 2 mosins , but I do not server hop. Though no luck with the ammo.

I prefer the silence. I think they are very very busy then. Easter holidays. I hope they are going to keep communicating more over the official Web-page and forums, instead of 3rd websites.

On some low population servers I did not see any food respawning, yet. In many towns and villages. I don't know if it is bugged or a design error. The System needs to check more in deep what needs to be respawned by categories. It does not make much sense, that nothing is respawning because a certain trashhold of overall item numbers hasn't been reached.

In case of game design this may lead even more towards KOS. Because it is much easier to kill players with that kind of simulation and players will use this. Unarmed players will have nearly zero chance to escape if they were hit once and any armed guy will be even more of a threat. With adding the skeleton and the physics which comes with that, a lot of possibilities get available like Pushing, grabbing holding pulling, draging players and knockdown effect from melee attacks and so on. The question is what can be forced on players and what action needs to be consensual. And Physics must actually work with the environment. No pushing players through solid walls.... I think it is easy for the devs to add such a knockdown animation to test this out and how gameplay changes with that. If something is fun to play or not is really hard to predict or create.

They are doing 64-bit server for now. Which should help with server fps, and even more if possibly less required harddisk writing can be done when the database runs 64-bit aswell. Having a 64 bit client would be awesome. When loading the whole game natively and into memory and run it from there, would be great. Even more great when videomemory past 2 gig can be used that way aswell. This reminds me of fluid game play on memory upgraded amiga 500 running games greatly once loaded from the floppy disks :)

When your game stutters, you have like 1 fps for the time it stutters. That is probably why people say they have more fps with ssd. People, who have trouble with hdd and stuttering in towns can try to change the video memory for textures in the dayz graphics setting from automatic to a lower setting, which should be smaller or equal the real physical memory on their video card. This helped me with frequent stuttering and the resulting client unresponsivity during that time.

Exactly everthing is taken or must be found with searching for it several hours and this is not a good testing environment. Devs must be lucky if someone reports real bugs at all.

There should be some experimental servesr where you optionally spawn with gear or locations the devs wants to be tested.

There are Berry bushes but you can't see the Berries on them, not see if they ae picked or not. More world dynamics, please.
