    [Graphics] Why does my horizon look weird?

    Ben_uk replied to DerDuderich's topic in General Discussion

    Again, its because the fog is 1 colour which is set at a given time, but the clouds and skybox are many varying colours and brightness. So you will get a clash and it won't always look correct.

    New map in the future?...whats the rumours?

    Ben_uk replied to svisketyggeren's topic in General Discussion

    Just wondered on the possibility of new maps in the future and whether they could be delivered by modders or if they would have to be DLC? I think it would be cool to see a London or USA map, maybe New York City, though the work there would be massive for all the buildings etc. Cheers, Ben.

    I keep seeming to join servers that within 10 minutes have either crashed or restarted. I start walking then before I know it, I get the dreaded "no message received" warning. The worst one was I had come across two dead bandits, fully geared. I was trying to loot some of their gear, then bam, server crashed.

    [Graphics] Why does my horizon look weird?

    Ben_uk replied to DerDuderich's topic in General Discussion

    Its the same in my game bud. See image here; Fog stays the same colour, clouds change colour, so at some points the horizon may blend well, at others it will stick out like a sore thumb.

    I personally experienced a bit of a performance nosedive with this patch. FPS in towns now is pretty desperate. I also got stuck in a death loop. I logged in to my character only to be greeted with a "you are dead" screen. So I clicked respawn, then when the timer clicked down, all I saw was "you are dead" again. Did this a few times, then just quit the server.

    Ben_uk replied to DerDuderich's topic in General Discussion

    I think its because the fog is a standard colour, and its just pot luck whether the sky happens to match it at any given time. When it rains for example, the clouds go much darker, but the fog stays the same colour, so it stands out then as well. The fog needs to change colour with the colour of the sky.

    Its always funny when you spot a new spawn and you can tell he is a bandit that has just been killed by the way they act. They always tell you to go away, or don't talk at all. They are nearly always quite rude.

    I met with a moderately kitted out chap the other day. He had a rifle but no ammo it would seem. He had an axe. Anyway, so after a few minutes chat we get attacked by zeds, during the attack he starts swinging at me, then chasing me, now to him it looked like I was a fresh spawn, however the first firehouse I looted, I found a magnum and 20 bullets. Anyway, so I whipped out the magnum mid run, then shot his ass. He bled a lot. Then I began chasing him, second shot broke his legs, then zeds started to finish him off.

    I have spotted a couple of issues since 0.49. The shadows appear broken and when indoors there are white flashes that appear. Video attached.

    Ah ok, thanks.

    I often see players walking around who's legs are stationary and their arms are stuck in some kind of movement animation. What's the deal with this exactly, is it a glitch is it a hack? I only ask because today I met someone who was in this exact same state after a few words, he shot me, but I obviously never saw the gun in his hands (his gun was on his back) so I didn't see the shot coming...

    More Horror and Gore Please!

    Ben_uk replied to jameslennoxhood's topic in Suggestions

    I would like to see more scattered blood and generally more visual (and maybe aural) signs of a apocalyptic world. Burning cars, burning buildings, boarded up windows etc.

    They stil glitch through walls and doors. Saw it last night on the new 0.49 build. I was then getting killed by a zombie who was hitting me whilst I was in a building and he was outside... :/ I kept moving about, but he kept hitting me, then I ran out the building, then this "invisible" zed followed me around town, smacking the hell out of me, then I died.

    Z's all over me!

    Ben_uk replied to Concord (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    I spawned on three occasions last night, I died 3 times from zombie attacks. They seem quicker, or maybe its that the run speed has been slowed down...?

    Zombies Opening Doors

    Ben_uk replied to robbyj's topic in General Discussion

    I was being hit by a zombie that was in a totally different room to me. He hit me maybe 5 or 6 times over the space of about 15- 20 seconds, then I opened the door and saw him outside in the corridor attacking what seemed like thin air, but when he attacked I got hit, despite him being 10 feet from me. It appears as though it's an invisible zombie, which has happened to me before, it chased me around the map like a ghost.

    DayZ SA mods?

    Ben_uk replied to Bonappetit's topic in General Discussion

    I'd like the ability to mod the vanilla game, things like sounds etc.

    Zombie view distance

    Ben_uk replied to karlkurtz32's topic in General Discussion

    I would prefer far more zombies, but all of them have quite poor eyesight. It would create quite tense moments walking through a town, having to pick your way through them. I'd say a max sight range of maybe 30-50 metres. I'd also say that if you have ran around several corners and are being chased by a zombie, they shouldn't be able to lock on and track your every move. If you go into a building say, they shouldn't follow you in, unless they actually see you enter.

    Lots of bandits around lately in Berezino especially. I have found 2 hacked M4 mags (on two separate occasions) now whilst doing my rounds. Makes you wonder just how common this is with bandits. Are all bandits hackers? Nope I don't think so, but I'm willing to bet that all hackers are bandits.

    Weapons - Where Should They Go Next?

    Ben_uk replied to Katana67's topic in General Discussion

    Cannon. Rocket Launcher. Flame Thrower. Minigun

    I got attacked by an invisible zombie the other day. I had to leave the server in order to "solve" this issue.

    Status Report - Week of 08 Sept 14

    Ben_uk replied to SMoss's topic in News & Announcements

    I'd like to see at least 60 players, but if 80 could be accommodated that would be fantastic.

    The muzzle flashes currently for most of the guns are rather big, and actually get in the way quite a lot when trying to aim down the sights. From watching videos of real guns being shot, the real muzzle flashes are no where near as big or as bright as they are currently in DayZ. One thing I did notice with real rifles is that there is far more smoke. Thoughts? Cheers, Ben.
  23. Ben_uk
    Any sign of a fix for the non - responsive number keys for items, 1 to get your axe out etc. I have to hit them 2 or 3 times on occasion just to get them to register...?

    DayZ Development progress makes no sense

    Ben_uk replied to Doomlord52's topic in General Discussion

    Well, the definition of a beta is that it's "feature complete". Since this isn't the case yet with dayz, it can only be an "alpha", simple.
  25. Ben_uk
    If we get barricading / base building, it would be good if you could do things like set buildings on fire, but that would probably mean having to have a complicated terrain destruction system, which I don't see on any roadmap.
