Is it fixing the big FPS drops experienced by some of us?

Roll back to 1.7.0, I know I did. I can't stop playing this game. I can't! I won't!

I bought Arma: CO for Day Z too. I gotta say it must be my best purchase in my whole gaming history. Smart move, me. Auto-HiFive *clap*

On saturday I had family visiting. I played Day Z while my little cousins was watching, at some point I was searching a zombies's body, the youngest of my cousins (he's 5), told me: "Why don't you eat him?" I told him "I can't eat him, he's infected", but what I was really thinking was "you deranged sick kid o,O" On topic, I think it's not a bad idea at all. It would be just like in "The Book of Eli"

Yeah me too, 1.7.1.1 Hotfix didn't really fix it. I'm back again to 1.7.0 hoping it will really get fixed before 1.7.0 Beta 93825 servers disappear. There are already very few and most of them don't allow 3rd person for some odd reason.

Also the FPS drops isn't gone at all. This could explain that, maybe.

Melee + a Melee weapon at spawn would make more than a bit of sense. As you pointed out somewhere else, not everyone has a gun at home but we can sure find baseball bats, knives or katanas (no, that's not uncommon I have one, many friends of mine too) The thing is, if implemented it should be hard to defend yourself with, make it so you don't just have to blindly swing it like an idiot to be safe.

I reached the North East Airfield for the first time an hour ago, after a long long time without dying, I had quite decent equipement. Then I saw a guy, climbing some kind of big red and white iron tower (don't know how you call this in english), I was hidden in a bush, I waited for him to be on top. I never ever shot anyone who didn't shot first before, but this guy, I saw he had a sniper rifle in his hands. I tried to scan him with my crosshair to see his name because I've been observing people over the chatbox talking and I pretty much know who's friendly and who isn't. But it didn't work, i couldn't see his name, he was scanning the airfield with his rifle and I knew if I let him live and he was unfriendly (which 95% of players are these days), I wouldn't stand a chance, if I crossed the airfield, if I went anywhere he would snipe me and ruin all my efforts. So I took the shot, with my silenced MP5, i aimed at his head and I took the first shot. I don't even know if he died, I didn't notice he had a whole crew waiting for him at the bottom of the tower, they searched for me for like 2 minutes, then found me and shot me down as I was trying to retreat.

Exactly what I was thinking (and said somewhere else in the forum). I'm aware that the YES passed for now and I'm too late, but I'd like to add my opinion anyway: YES, but, more guns should spawn in right places, like Police stations. Like Rocket said, very few people have guns at home, but there should be plenty in Police stations, Army camps etc.

The funny thing is, I'm pretty sure most people who come whining with illimited curse words reinforcements and "I'm leaving" threats are the same ones who behave ingame like this was a deathmatch mod.

I actually play a bit when the night falls. Then, when I'm tired of it or I can't go through with it, I find a place to sleep, disconnect, find a daytime server and pretend I slept. :p

I've started playing this mod wednesday (bought ArmA:Co only for Day Z). The only thing I don't like about the new patch is that it drops my FPS to 9-14. Yes it's harder, much harder even if you're geared which I am with a nice silenced MP5* and full load of food/water bottles. But the thing is, this mod was never meant to be easy to begin with, it's not some "EA/Activsion press A to win the game" stuff. Also it's still in Alpha, no change should be assumed to be final. *BTW I don't really get why Silenced MP5 and Normal MP5 require different mags? Also, is there any way to roll back until the FPS issue is fixed? This mod's too much of a blast for me to wait 24h it takes to sort it out. :p

I actually had the same problem, though I didn't know I could fix it, good thing I wandered here. Thanks a lot for the fix :)
