    Heh yeah he was about to shit his pants a few times I think. He's actually a coworker of mine so tomorrow should be pretty funny :) The card handles the game fine for it being a poorly optimized game at this point. I play with max AA and max settings minus the post process stuff. While recording I typically see 40-60+ FPS in the woods and 30-40+ in big cities on moderate to high pop servers. I've seen 80+ a few times but its real rare and the most I've ever seen was like 120-something in a big meadow. The game does not use a lot of the cards power and it fluctuates power and GPU usage a lot, which is a shame. But I suspect those things will change with the new renderer, true hyper threading and hopefully DX10 or DX11 whenever that happens.

    DayZ SA Security Leak.

    Well that's good to know. I hope they catch them and this doesn't affect us or the development timeframes. I don't see how it can't but BIS feels confident.

    What types of DAYZ videos Do YOU like to Watch?

    Mr. Blackout is probably one of my favorites at the moment, at least for the more serious player videos. I've watched his Diary series from the beginning and his new daily Hardcore series is awesome IMHO. He has a cool voice (no homo lol) and I never would of guessed he lives in Cali but clearly from England. His content and gameplay are also good and I like his subtle editing style mixed with groovy choices of music. Jam Jar being right up there as well. I watch Syndicate and Mr. Moon vids to make my gut bust from laughing so hard. Syndicate for being just some high-strung crazy funny guy and Mr. Moon for his hilarious commentary and how he interacts with players in direct chat. "Affirmative" :D I'll keep an eye out for your vid. Best of luck in your youtube endeavors.

    Please wait?

    When I get the "Please wait" and I'm sitting there for more than 5 sdeconds I will back out and then enter the server again and usually it immediately spawns me in. It has nothing to do with your PC specs.

    DayZ SA Security Leak.

    I just don't see how BIS is taking this so lightly as if they think nothing bad is going to come from it. If we think the teleporting, ammo, etc hacks are bad now I can't imagine what else may possibly come down soon, not to mention real issues like security for its customers. Wouldn't an entire rewrite of the source code be required now that this has been exposed to the public hackers?.
  11. Well I guess now that the rumor of the DayZ source code being swiped this week is true, we can all expect to see many many new hacks and security issues. They are saying since it was swiped the only way to make it safe is to rewrite the code from scratch. This doesn't sound good for any progress we were expecting for the next update. Sad day today :(

    What types of DAYZ videos Do YOU like to Watch?

    I watched Frankie videos back when he first started but I can't make myself watch more than 5 minutes of his dribble now. His vids are typically filled with people (often little kid screachers) fawning over him and its just sad and pathetic now. That and his content isn't all that interesting to me anymore. YMMV I primarily watch Mr. Blackout, Syndicate, PSISyndicate, Jam Jar, Mr. Moon and a few others. Whatever you do please for the love of god do not make videos like the rad brad. That guy gets on my freaking nerves and his DayZ videos were so sad with him hiding in buildings or darting in bushes when he would see people and he was always so scared to lose his gear. Just pathetic and I'm glad he stopped doing the series for people roasting him in his comments section for being a pu$$y. Make your own videos the way you like them. DO NOT MAKE SCRIPTED VIDEOS (huge turnoff). If people like your content they will subscribe or leave a like.

    My first dayz trailer....

    Shadowplay. I previously used Mirillis Action.
  14. SIAP. I have no affiliation with his channel, just a sub. This is too funny and the ending was inevitable :D (mods please move/merge is this is duplicate)

    New animated DayZ intro. Thoughts?

    So I've been trying to come up with a new intro for my vids. I didn't want to re-use arneoog's popular "DayZ intro" since everyone seems to be using it these days. Not that it's a bad thing, I just like to be different :D. Anyways what do you guys think of what I've made so far? I tried to go for a rustic Chernarus backcountry look. There will probably be different variations but this is the 1st version...

    Double Cuffing

    Yes and if you have lots you should be able to create a chain gang! :D
  18. 81 hours in and I still haven't spotted a hacker. Not saying you didn't but if I did I wouldn't uninstall my game. I would just find a different server.

    New animated DayZ intro. Thoughts?

    Right after 0:09 is where my transition will typically go from intro to gameplay video so you likely won't have the same feeling of it sitting there for so long ;). I always like to keep a few seconds of the last frame still to give me some 'wiggle room' when it comes time to editing the final video with transitions and such. I was going to go all out and have the grass "lay over" as my camera moves through but this causes a TON of computational resources to simulate as each blade or stem would physially interact with each other but thus drives my final render time into the multiple days area!! I have a different method I'm going to try for the grass which should free up some reasources and add to the atmosphere. We'll see how it goes on version 2 :)

    New animated DayZ intro. Thoughts?

    Yea I don't like the line under the "Y" either but I had to do something because the Y looked more like a "V" with the overgrown grass and it really looked weird like "DavZ" :D. I guess if my real name was Dave I would be golden heh!! I also didn't want the text floating in air so that's my easiest way to solve the issue. I know what you're saying about the DayZ font being engrained in your brain. It's what I kept fighting against when using a font as I kept wanting to go towards a more DayZ "traditional' font, if there ever was such a thing lol. I suppose I could find a different font out there but glad you like the concept and thanks for the CC!

    Deathmatch disposal?

    I really think that if they changed the spawns to be all over the map and at random then it would cut down drastically on the PvP deathmatch fest that is going on now. i'm sure in the future we will be spawning all over the map and not just around the coast. But I do like the idea of a PvP Deathmatch only server and make it so that it's limited to one of the large cities. Maybe have like a "map rotation" of each large city upon each server restart? That way the only thing that spawns in those servers is the loot in the city and it would change up the gameplay/scenery a bit. I would also imagine this would free up some performance as well if a server didn't hav to spawn loot over the large map and only ballistic loot on PvP Deathmatch servers.

    New animated DayZ intro. Thoughts?

    Thanks guys! Yea I have a few ideas I want to do for using one with a building environment. I want to do a dilapidated, crumbling building with volumetric fog, dust and particle effects. I have some ideas I just need to put it together one day lol. Thanks again guys, beans for you!

    Multiple Character Slots

    The only way I would be in favor for a multi-character is if you have one character per server like in Arma 3. Otherwise if you're allowed to have several characters "at will" then what effect does dying become? You'd simply get shot and then immediately respawn with your other "fully geared up" character, completely taking away the need to survive from the get-go. Yea I could see that being bad. Personally I like the perma-death the way it is in this game. This ain't Battlefield or CoD where you have different "Loadouts" for any scenario or play style. Pick one or do like many others do and use one of the 4 you already have provided (stable regular, stable hardcore, exp regular, exp hardcore).
  24. There is a subforum that is for Stable info, news and the stickied thread is about the current version http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/137-stable-patch-discussion/. We are currently on .44 on the Stable release. Likewise there is also a subforum for Experimental.
