    Invisible Zed cage

    Ok it's not as cool as the title sounds but thought I'd share. I was running around Dubky when I stumbled upon a tent woo hoo. All of a sudden silent ninja zed attack! I started to run and noticed something kind of hilarious that they couldn't run past a certain point and was stuck in an endless running animation. If I ran past then she could chase but never could come back across that line by the staircase.

    How to Survive in Dayz 0.55

    Lol at the bonus!
  3. Hey guys been awhile since I've posted or really played for that matter. Game seems like it's really getting somewhere with all the new content. I apologize if it's been brought up a 100 times but I just wanted to see if anyone had insight on my experiences with 54. 1. My guy is like pac man to food. I feel like he's always hungry. Anyone else notice this? It just seems to be a limitation especially if you like to live "off the grid" in game. 2. Still can't get certain commands to work half the time. When I try to change weapons or jump I have to stop moving and hit the key repeatedly. (I had a Logitech MX5500 with the issue and still see it with my G710+) 3. Lag... still laggy... why? =( 4. Choppy/low framerate at times especially in the city. I'm guessing a GTX970 is in my near future? 5. Where is everybody? Even in the large servers I'm not really running into anyone... where do the sane people meet and run a muck? Other than that I'm hooked again... big thanks to Bohemia for the hard work.. I'm sure this is quite an undertaking to create.
  4. Cool thanks for the insight... I think I remember now someone saying the engine was based on a 10 year old platform and they planned to upgrade it. I tend to play on higher populated servers as it's generally too easy to get what you want when no one is around lol.

    Possible FPS Enhancer

    I changed everything according to the OP and I'm seeing some odd issues. First off my character reset (boo) and second when I enter a server all objects load really slowly and are basic grey polygons. This lasts for probably 45 seconds or so then everything will load as it should. Its not a huge deal but twice now while loading I've been attacked and had no idea how to defend or move until everything loaded.

    Rule 1 of DayZ Zombies:

    I sneaky sneak around them all the time..... confused by this post.
  7. First off I want to give praise to the game especially being in its alpha stage of development. I love the game's concept, graphics, and attention to all the little details in such a big space. The thing that just drives me nuts is fighting, either armed or not. Unarmed - It's a little rock'em-sock'em basic. The 'lag' between punches or knowing you've been hit is really bad as well. Killing two zombies last night after they fell down dead I then registered myself being hit. In fact one required bandages! I really don't think lag should be an issue in 2014 :) Armed - Hitting a zombie with a sickle..well should be more eventful and painful. Hitting a zombie with anything in the game besides a stick should be more eventful and take a lot less effort.. blows to the back of the head should probably split it open or at least make them unconscious (if thats possible for a zombie). Last but not least I encountered an unarmed player who decided to fight me even though I had a crow bar. I was out in two punches even though I registered two crow bar hits... Just a little strange I apologize if this looks like a rant! I just wanted to share my experiences and see what others think.

    Your most frustrating moments.

    I finally got a weapon! and was on my way to another town and spotted a deer stand. I climbed the ladder to find nothing inside of it....started to climb down and glitched out missing the ladder to fall 5 feet to my death.
  9. Awesome thats exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for the help
  10. btw001 - I guess I got lucky.. Lag hasnt been an issue since my first connection of 20Mb Up/down 5 years ago and certainly isnt an issue with my now gigabit fiber =) Plus my overkill nature ended up building a PC that can handle the game on the highest settings so I dont think thats contributing to my lag/combat issue. Being a console junky too I'm unfamiliar with the Arma series either so didn't know this gamed spawned from something that old! Either way, excellent idea and very cool game with a lot of potential... I'm just excited to see if combat will improve. Confirmation from a developer of the game or possibly a road map to improve these features would be interesting to find out. Thanks for the input.
