Seems peaceful.

First off, props on still rocking a G5 (I had mine for a long time, then I finally needed to replace it, so I got a G500, which is basically the same); second, I basically did the same as you, which was to reserve my copy, but decide to wait for a bit after launch. I'm perfectly happy with my Win7Pro install right now. To be honest, I would much rather try it out on my Win8 laptop first, since that is essentially my secondary PC, and I'm not really a fan of some of the changes they made for 8 (e.g. the Start Screen). Unfortunately, I have yet to see an upgrade notice pop up on there.

Aww, it ended right before the best part.

That is a good point; to be honest, in my opinion at least, the best way to achieve realism AND security is to allow barricading using existing furniture and other items, e.g. pushing a dresser & bed up against a door, or re-positioning an armoire against a window.

H1Z1 currently allows you to lock ANY door that YOU have created and/or placed with a 4-digit numerical lock code, simply by holding down the same button used to open it, clicking a button, and entering the code. Once you enter the lock code, only you or someone else who knows the code can open the door normally, and the code only needs to be entered once by anyone other than the person who placed it (whoever places it automatically knows the code), unless the code is changed. Granted, all of the doors are the same size, though they don't all fit in every doorway. I don't see why DayZ can't have something like this.

Quite entertaining. :D

Someone obviously dropped that stuff; I'm curious as to why. It's possible someone was carrying it and died, but I would think if a player had killed them, they would have taken at least the Mosin. I honestly thought it was a trap when I first saw the stuff, and was expecting someone to run through the door and pop you while you were inspecting everything. :D

Well, I don't see any potatoes, but I'm sure they're just fine, as long as they aren't rotten (did they add rotten food back into the game yet?).

Sometimes, when you make a mistake and realize it, it almost seems like it would only make it worse to cop to it. I totally understand. This being said, I still think you should have said something once you realized what you did. Shame on you. :P :)

But then we wouldn't have been privy to a wonderful 40-second clip of one of the most amazing comedians who ever lived telling it like it is. <---- This guy. :D

Probably because they've been playing H1Z1 in the meantime (like me) and have been enjoying the BR mode in it, and can't wait to see something similar in DayZ. I would imagine they would at least consider it, though I hope they don't also consider having airdrops as well (a rather stupid idea IMO).

Did you try going into your Visual/Video settings and then back out? I know when I had visual & graphics issues before, that seemed to help; you don't actually change anything, just go into the options menu and go to the video or graphics tab, then just ESC back out. Not sure if it will fix that problem, but it's worth a shot. Beyond that, I would say GOOGLE it and see what turns up while you wait for more replies.

I watched that video in the other thread you made for it, and it seems like the zombies are really hitchy when they run; have they been messing with the movement speed of them as well? I admit I haven't played since right after 0.55 hit stable, and even then it wasn't much.

Probably looking to see if anyone else had run into this issue and figured it out already, so he wouldn't HAVE to contact BE. I do that all the time. That being said, I think you're correct in that he probably WILL have to contact them.

Is the game footage from ARMA or something? I know it definitely isn't from DayZ SA.
