thank god it isnt just me then. The only thing i had changed today was putting the screen res right down from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 and all the video fx right up to improve my fps which worked great and the game looks better, but i thought it might be crashing because of it

just happened again, but when i press the exit button dayz locks up and i have to ctrl alt delete and thge program isnt responding. and no it wasnt a kill on sight, it was self defence as they fired first. and not exp its the stable version

I think ammo should be ultra rare in all honesty. With the increased zombie spawns in towns and such it REALLY should be a point for the player to decide if risking a single round is worth it. In a real apocalypse you dont have the luxury of jumping dimensions to get more ammo. You should be stuck with a few rusty rounds left and an axe on standby. Not only will this help KOS but will also make ammo more valuable and not worth risking

you clearly know nothing about what alpha means? For one it means adding a ton of features, items and new things to play with, they will also try to fix any BAD bugs and glitchs that make the alpha testing more bearable. Still with me so far? Good, because BETA is when most items and features have been added and they then go on to fine tune everything else & fix all the remaining issues and bugs before they can finally wrap it all up and go to final release state. Secondly, yes they are eventually going to port it over to PS4....................................................... you think that they are going to release it on ps4 next week? Or maybe when the PC version gets to release status? I can see a lot of these topics are basically wash, recycle repeat, of the same thing over and over. Also for the people saying a ps4 version is bad... And? so what if it is? How is a consolve version of the game going to interrupt your pc gaming if at all? Don't worry about it, if you don't want to play it on ps4 then don't. It won't affect you in the slightest

why is it a dumb idea? Just because YOU don't like it?

aside from the fact there are resurrected zombies in the game, you think using a defib is out of the question?

You mean like a morphine injector is able to magically repair a broken limb or a splint will allow your player to sprint like Usain Boltafter applying it? Come on now, all bugs and glitches aside there are enough features of dayz implemented that remove realism all together, having a defibrilator to bring back fallen team mates from death really can't be that much out of the question.

I also think that to see bodies in beds, they should at least update those shitty rushed bed models they currently have in the game. I know they are ported over from the arma 2 models, but they just look terrible.

have you heard the term "dead men don't talk?" thats because if you are dead, its lights out, you can't then teamspeak your buddies and say where you got shot from and where the shooter is running to or what he is doing. You are dead, your contribution to the game and your friends has expired, its up to them to figure out whats going on and how to deal with it providing they aren't also lying next to you leaking like a fucked fridge.

I mean yeah if you are talking about realism, 3 bullets to the head and 16 to the body, but by some miracle you are saved by electric current does sound a bit unrealistic, but when the game is about a zombie apocalypse and people dying from 2 foot drops you kinda need to be a little bit flexible. It will also make it a bit more interesting when you are forced to become a field surgeon and use pretty much all your medical supplies and hope that you are able to save your friend so it doesnt all go to waste. It will also soften the blow a little when it comes to being killed if you know you have a small chance of being saved, even f it means being incapacitated for a short time.

DLC? My, you're a bit keen aren't you? They havent even officially released the main game yet & that still has a long way to go before anyone even considers doing expansion packs. Other islands? yes it sounds great, but Half the current bugs and zombie wall glitching (Pathfinding) is map related & hasnt even been fixed for this version yet

I sure hope they get your memo.

I just like the idea of walking up to a trading centre (Mad max style with the barbed wire and metal sheeting) only to be told by people on the wall to put my gun away and walk to the entrance with my hands up. Then as the door opens I'm met by someone who cuffs me in order to search me & confiscates any weapons, then allows me into the inner trade area. In a perfect world, this would work and when it works it'll make for awesome gameplay and fraps footage, BUUUUUUUUUT as you know there will still be the odd few that just want to ruin it for everyone by trolling the system and rinse you out as soon as you get in & steal what you have to add to their "Stock list"

last night tried to set up a fire place, but couldnt get it working. I had about 4 stones, a chunk of firewood, kindling and matches. I managed to set up a fire place kit and put it down, I managed to combine a stone to it, but that was all, No matter what i did i couldnt add the fire wood to it or anything, I also didnt get an option to light it with the matches is anyone else having problems with fire places or do you have to be very specific on the steps needed to combine the items to set one up?

ah i tried it again and got it working, I know where i went wrong now

sigh, why does nearly every topic always resort to bickering on this forum? Seriously, some people are like a bunch of kids. So much butthurt

to be fair, after you pass the vulnerable bambi phase and survive to the point where you are able to defend yourself and have all the kit you need, you stop and think to yourself, "okay, what now?" I sometimes feel like putting it down for a month or two and coming back to see whats changed and if its any better, but find a few more features that are bugged, a few more weapons, but nothing in terms of the long term survival goal. It will only become a real game changer for me when barricading and base building becomes the norm. Its always nice ot have somewhere you can call home, because really, everyone in Dayz is pretty much a homeless mercenary. I am definatly going to try out "survive the nights" when that becomes an open alpha release, it has so much potential and a shit ton of features already. It doesn't look pretty or next gen, but I'm not a graphics whore and appreciate that the game is designed by a group of mates with a kickstarter budget.

...and you wish was granted, got to play properly last night for the fist time since the new update, me and my team found out just how dangerous zombies are now. All it takes is one gunshot in a town and all hell breaks loose, by the end of the night we were all out of ammo and using axes. Some zombies still do glitch through walls, but at one point we were hiding in one of the jaiIs to stop zombies from getting at us. We were so unprepared for the relentless waves of zombies that centred on our position we ran out of ammo so quickly. I sure hope this lowers camping and kill on sight players because ammo is now much more valuable. And now i hear they are adding bears too. Finally this game is becoming more progressive with the player vs enviornment aspect.

Hey there I want to extract some of the bullet whizz and mosin sound effects and convert them from .wss to wav file but I cant seem to do it. I use the unpbo file from armaholic to extract the sound files, but the extractor program i keep seeing about converts arma 2 sounds ok, but not the dayz ones, it comes back as failed to convert. Now before you ask I'm not trying to hack or modify any of the game files for any reason, I just want to use the effects for a dayz fraps video I plan to put together in sony vegas

Standalone wont be getting a hud for immersion reasons & to be fair the sound and visibility icons were only useful for about 5 minutes because when you learned how they worked you literally found that walking while crouched and on the grass meant you were quiet and hard to see. Running while on the road indicated you were loud and proud

was I the only person who noticed this? I call them the "wendy Zombies."

with any luck in the near future bears may sort out camping issues

i stand corrected. Its sometimes difficult to read into what people are saying.

you make it sound like you want them removed all together. the fact that they are annoying is a good thing because they are now a real threat, remember this is supposed to be a zombie survival game as much as people want it to be call of duty it isnt
