I always crash after exiting the game. I think it started ever since I tried .46 exp when it came out and has done it since from then on. Doesn't matter if I'm playing stable or exp branch. I also get random minimize to desktop that never happened before .46. It doesn't crash the game but just minimizes the window. Sucks when a zombie is on you or in the heat of the moment near someone lol.

That's what I'm thinking as well. I'm no game designer or programmer but from my understanding the navmesh is specifically made for the map so zombies, loot and AI won't go places they aren't supposed to. If a new map is to be made it would have to be made with a corresponding new navmesh. BI would have to give modders the tools to make new navmeshes for their respective maps so I don't know how likely that would happen. It would be nice to see in the future though!

Hmm well I had some of my gear stolen off me while running in Novo but I think it was on .47 experimental hardcore so maybe it's back or all of .46 security is not in .47 exp? In 120 hours or so this was my first experience with one. I also had loot (Blaze rifle ammo) disappear from right in front of me while some aggro zombies were just conveniently chilling out at the bottom of a two-story house. Makes me wonder if a hacker was there gathering loot from not just a players inventory but near them as well. Not even sure if that's possible but it the hacking seems endless in this game right now. Also we had a hacker kill several people during a livestream with M1NDR and SepticFalcon yesterday. He also was bringing down any server we would go to. Frustrating to say the least. I believe they know who it was and contact both Hicks and BI. Hope karma catches up to these hackers one day and they get banned for good.

PVP is fine. I don't think anyone is looking for a PVE experience in this game, except PVE-specific private hives in the future. Banditry is always welcome IMHO as it balances the game. There would be bandits IRL just as there would be KOS but not to the degree we see in DayZ. That being said.... Killing someone when all they have a flashlight or on a ladder is str8 MLG yo. After all I'm sure they really needed that 9v battery for their FNX scope that it meant killing a fresh spawn as if they are just as insignificant and dispensable as the next respawn is in BF4. Sure he may not of had much on him so it's easy to shrug it off as "well he didn't have anything to lose" but perhaps he traveled a long ass way from his last spawn. Maybe he didn't want to have to trek the same country again just to meet up with a friend across the map. Yay now he gets to do it all over again spawning lord knows where else now. Maybe just asking him or hell even holding him at gun point demanding he give you the 9v battery "or else" would be a far more rewarding interaction that just a black "You're dead" screen from some random. Has nothing to do with being carebear. For the sake of argument I will use that term for PVE-only games where you are fighting in CO-OP against AI. The problem people have with KOS is that often it is done in a shady practice typically found by pond scum level players. The only interaction, if at all, is some smart ass kid response like "you fail at this game bitch" over a corpse while some dude was just fishing minding his own business. You don't see mindless KOS in survival movies and shows either, The Walking Dead for current example, yet there is plenty of bloodshed and not just against the zombies. That IMHO is how it would be if the shit really did hit the fan IRL. There would be hot zones where you know you will probably die and it would be a risk versus reward scenario for the loot, if you needed it, but that doesn't mean everyone has to kill someone the second they see them just for the lulz or because "they're scared to lose their loot". Rather than this game be a horrible troll shooter wouldn't you rather it become something more than searching for guns (which don't really perform that well to begin with) just to murder people, not even for sport really? If not then I can name off several other (better) shooters. I don't know about you but I would rather die in an epic fire fight battle across the open land like some epic historic-ness than at the hands of some free-wheeling squeaker in the middle of nowhere on his way to go meet up with the rest of his wall glitching, duping clan. YMMV. TL;DR PVP is for the most part openly accepted and embraced by the community but nobody likes a dick.

If by "fuck all to do" you mean there isn't early stages of hunting, crafting, fishing, exploring, finding rare loot or even to PVP against KOS assholes then you sure are missing out IMHO. Even without vehicles, economy or barricading I find plenty of shit to do to keep me busy. I don't resort to shameless KOS mentality because it takes zero skill to do anything but run around and blast people or pretend I'm the next Governor. Want to try this game on the real hard mode I suggest you try and survive without turning to the dark side. Hell if we want to get technical this game is trash if you're looking at it from a shooter-only perspective. I have no idea why anyone would want to torture themselves and waste so much time pretending this game was a decent shooter if that's the way you want to look at it. My guess is they suck at real shooters so they come to DayZ for the cheap easy kills. Yes guns are in this game for a reason but compare gunplay from other AAA fast-paced FPS and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize where DayZ or even Arma stacks up on that list. Shit even twitch shooters like Loadout are bettter than the crude gun mechanics in DayZ. However what those dime-a-dozen cupcake shooters lack is the realism and that's what this game is all about and what makes it great for many of us. It's not to see who is the next CoD or Rust leaderboard kiddie 420blaze360noscopeMLG_Pro. Nobody gives a fuck about your KD in this game but people do give a fuck about how they are treated or killed in this case. So spare us the "there isn't enough content" excuse and just man up and say you want to KOS because that's what you like. At least then I'd give you some respect instead of hiding behind some blanket excuse like 'lack of content'. They could add in barricading and economy tomorrow and I'm sure the same people that KOS would be KOS'ing there too. Content (or lack thereof in some peoples' minds) isn't the problem....

Build .46 is not experimental. Think you got a typo.

Because we simply won't know until ALL of the remaining new core architecture is in place (64-bit servers, multi threading, navmesh, etc). The 64 bit servers opens up "the avenue" needed for DayZ to get to the next level in the foreseeable future. Without it means it will always be where we are now with balancing loot against zombies and how both significantly affect performance. You must walk before you run and sometimes that requires crawling.... Think of the navmesh more as an ingredient to a recipe or a small piece to a much larger puzzle. However insignificant this may seem to someone, make no mistake It is a vital milestone and one I'll gladly welcome. Nothing sucks worse than having your character ambushed by a single wall clipping zombie as it destroys everything in your inventory. And to think some of you would rather have more broken zombies than having zombies actually fixed means your priorities are backwards IMHO. But then you would just be complaining "Why are these 50+ zombies STILL clipping through walls and buildings??? These extra zombies are great and all but man I wished they would fix the path finding". Can't have your cake and eat it too. Patience is a virtue. First order of business is to FIX the zombies and then we can talk about ADDING more (fixed) zombies....

A shame this got ruined by a stupid hacker. First he killed everyone and my buddy in Berezino while I was heading to meet Falcon and others at Novy Sobor. Then the hacker started deliberately bringing down any server we went to. Every time we started to do something we would get the server restart message killing any fun to be had (frustrating is an understatement). I hope that justice can one day be served. Anyways it was a fun time and I'm glad I got to meet everyone.

Well this was interesting to run across :D

I like your series. Sent you a message on Youtube ;)

Yes! Source https://twitter.com/Hicks_206/status/478433516490067968

I would imagine a lot of people are still at work. At least in the US anyways. I'm stuck here reading a forum instead of playing damnit! Give Novo time. That city is ripe and can be a very hostile place :D

If it is indeed broken I would issue a report ticket because it was working fine in exp with any blade (not axes).

I just wanted to say your sig is hilarious. If all goes well with the rubberband update today, Hicks has said they will roll out .45 to stable on maintenance (Wednesday). Crossing fingers (and toes) no more rubberbanding :D!!

So you expect us to spoon feed you? Read the changelogs FFS :rolleyes: As far as doomsday preppers, never seen or heard of one in this game. I've seen people request adding defecation but I doubt the devs have any desire to add it lol.

Per Hicks: "The intent is to push the update to exp for stress testing late Monday (prague time) and if everything checks out we will push the update to stable during maintenence. If something prevents that, we'll try and let you guys know." http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/282u1k/looks_like_the_rubberbanding_fix_will_be_on_monday/ci6wvxq So I'm assuming this Wednesday if all goes well!!

I beg to question, have you not played any GTA game? Guns, blow, hookers and all. There isn't a game out there like it where you can steal a car from an old man, run him over (and the priest standing next to him), head a couple of blocks down the street to pick up a hooker, fuck her, then kill her .....just to get $20 back. And that's all within about 2 minutes of playing the game. That doesn't mean that everyone who plays GTA is now going to become the worst possible human to live in a city near you. If you guys honestly think that video games are the absolute cause for people being fucked up in the head then you really need to spend some time talking to real life murderers, rapists, pedophiles, etc in prison. I am sure all of them would tell you they killed, raped or tortured people because the could never beat level 9 on The Legend of Zelda or because DayZ provided them with windex and spoiled food.

Going to a new renderer is a new engine in terms of graphics which should help with performance being going to DX10/11. True it's not a "new engine" in the same sense of say ditching everything and going to Cryengine or something like that. However implementing a new renderer Is big and is going to be the steps needed to improve graphical performance in this game, along with everything else planned. When this game is finally released it should run fairly well I would imagine.

Geebus. I feel like I'm back in college. Lots of text here to digest. I guess the torture aspect in this game doesn't bother me because frankly it's as soft as a bunny rabbit. There is no real extreme torture in this game. Calling it torture is probably giving it more weight than is really there. It's more or less trolling only instead of C4 and dip dip potato chips you have windex and rotten food. Oh and you can shoot someone to break their leg to make them crawl. If that is really chipping someone's moral fiber I can provide better examples. I welcome anyone to torture me. My body is ready and it will make for great video if they are creative. :D OP should play The Forest :D. Deadly traps, AI caring for other AI, expressions, cannibalism, dismemberment, you name it lol. Seriously though if you get easily offended by violence then this game is not for you. Not even sure why this thread is here to begin with if you have no interest in buying it.

Don't you just love these kind of moments in DayZ?

I thought he might of been AFK but I am pretty sure I heard him near me just before he went into the building. I sort of mumbled it to myself in the vid lol. I think he knew I was there too prior to entering but maybe didn't have ammo and wanted to scare me off. His strategy worked either way :D

Yea I'm not sure what his intentions were. Even after I ran out he didn't try to speak or type once I had some cover and distance between us. He may of been waiting on a friend or didn't have ammo for all I know heh. I didn't have ammo for my SKS but if I would of had it out I bet that would of ended differently. I tend to play hardcore because of the immersion and people can't 3PP exploit. It seems hardcore servers have more people willing to not KOS near as much as regular. Of course it still happens but I've had better outcomes for whatever reason. Maybe I'm lucky :D

Yes I agree you should of blasted that kid who set you up. I'm guessing you didn't have ammo in the magazine? I would of double tapped his dome and then told him who it was. Enjoying your vids

Airfield or other weapon spawns I probably would of done the same if someone rushed me. In other less hostile areas I would of probably taken my chances with communication.

I don't have two monitors. So printed out a D sized map and keep it by me when playing. In a weird way it adds to the immersion lol. Nice story about your journey so far. I have a similar play style where I lone wolf and play cautious rather than aggressive. It has kept me alive longer but the experiences of meeting cool people far outweigh the feeling when you die. Keep on keeping on ;)
