Re-Patch

That is the important point my friend. By now I am solely trusting my gut instinct. (But I'm good at that in real life too though, I'm not sure if that is working for everyone) Mostly I can tell like 9/10 times when a player is faking the friendly part. Of course there are some very good actors, but they are rare. If you have that feeling next time, let him go or kill him :) (if you don't want to risk anything) One thing I don't get though is how fast people seem to get fucked over to the evil side. Seriously, I've got killed, fucked over, abused etc. in the game like at least 100 times until that switch happened :P Don't give up so fast :)

Nothing better than going on a 35+ people night server and light up the NWAF's ATC with 3 flares and 5 chemlights :) and ruuuuun Answer to question --> I don't know, I like to light these things up, I do it all the time on day servers as well (except when I want to stay unnoticed of course) cheers

let's hunt them down, I'll bring my evil screwdriver of death and they shall bleed :D

Haha you sure as hell weren't smoking weed yesterday.... :P :P lol The hammer is fun though, they bleed like pigs :rolleyes:

Haha nice buddy, good to hear I'm not the only one! We should play together sometime. I've got like 600 hours gametime now (only SA, didn't play mod). In the beginning (like the first 150hrs or so) I was the friendliest person you could even imagine (sometimes I still am) giving everything to everyone no matter what, but I was the stupid version of a friendly player (very stupid). Well I got fucked over like, a lot :huh: :huh: That's when full on psycho mode came into play and I murdered everything! (good that I went through that phase I guess, I learned how to PvP, especially how to snipe) :ph34r: Well, for the last 200 hours I've been torn between being a friendly chernarus traveler and a murderous beast haha :lol: But I keep getting better and I keep getting closer to my personal goal --> approach EVERY player with a friendly mindset (no KOS at all), whilst still keeping the upper hand of all the situations and the possibility to kill him/her (if he/she is not friendly). But sometimes I still panick... :rolleyes:

Did you try to reinstall the game? I have no other ideas (or no time to google it further atm) left sorry, I'd try the reinstall first though, it often helps with problems like that. Also use the newest driver for your graphics card (probably won't solve this but it doesn't hurt) :) cheers

Hallo Everyone I've heard that the mosin was shooting off (pulling to the left) and even seen it on some streams. I haven't been sniping for a while (I used to play only sniper) because I always feel bad afterwards :) Now two days ago I started again with some Zombie practicing and I hit 10 different Zombies withing 100 and 950 meters. These were all spot on shots (aiming at the body), except for the 800+ of course (but no adjustments to the left and to the right). That means they fixed it? Did they ever say so? I must have missed that? cheers, re-patch

Well it doesn't really matter since it's fixed now. The damage could still be higher though (people with stacked items etc. survive too many shots). Don't think that's the same issue (or that they are connected), but the not showing impacts were what actually made me stop sniping in the first place.

Perfect, thanks a lot. Hell fuc**** yeeeees I love mosins :D B) I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing though (well same thing but not same time I think), because it used to be like that a long time ago (like 5-8 months or so), then they fixed it. But apparently it appeared again afterwards, because the live stream of JamJar I was watching was not longer ago than 4-5 weeks, that's why I'm confused now, that means since then it would have been patched away again I guess :)

I've had that since the beginning, I don't know if there is a fix. After reinstalling I just didn't touch it anymore (it apparently get's set to auto which is supposed to be good from what I've read).

^ I wanted to answer myself but Bororm summed it up perfectly, all you need to know.

maybe this? Are you talking about the cursor (the one you can use when browsing the tab-menu (your char)) or the generall ingame crosshair (very small dot to aim)? cheers

I didn't check the video, I just googled quickly, does this maybe help? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162890-dayz-standalone-how-to-fix-glitchy-mouse-in-main-menu/

damn I'd love to come with my mate, but we are from Switzerland/Netherlands, I guess it would be around 2 o'clock in the morning for us? :( :( bit late, too bad.

If you meant "overclock to 3.0 Ghz" --> nop, that's not gonna do it, you should buy at least an i5 or and i7. 4GB would probably be enough --> but I'd rather go for 8GB (if your system supports it). SSD helps as well. cheers

Definetly barracks mate! They are a bit rare though, I've found 5 in ca. 50-70h gameplay, 4x balota barracks, 1x NWAF barracks

Ha, that really is (or was) a problem then, I didn't know that. Sorry for my post, my advice might still work though if you are lucky :) Out of curiosity... is "-" not the default text chat button for everyone? Because for me it was (and as mentioned CAPS for voicechat). EDIT: info: didn't play mod. cheers, sorry about that re-patch

and that, lol :P

Huh, I didn't know the devs would work on a subject faster when you type the thread title in capital letters, that's good to know, thanks. As said above --> go back to default settings --> use "CAPS LOCK" for voice and "-" for text chat. Works perfectly, have talked to hundreds of players already, can read chats and everything.

^ I think I have a headache now xD

Hallo Everyone I would love to make some tutorials or let's play (don't know what exactly yet). Thus I bought FRAPS (for a start it should be more than sufficient). Now I'm a bit confused how much power FRAPS apparently is using. Below you'll find my system: Intel Core i7 4770K OC 16GB DDR3 1866 R.O.G. Maximus VI Hero Samsung SSD 250GB 840 Evo Basic + Seagate 2 TB (7200RPM) nVidia GeForce GTX 780 3GB GDDR5 (not sure if 780 or 770, gotta check) Win7 64Bit Ultimate Well, until yesterday I played DayZ with every single option on very high. I always had enough frames, between 25ish and 150ish (depending where I am). I started recording with FRAPS and my framerate dropped to (10-15fps in cities and 30fps in the outskirts/lands) Well I don't even need to tell you that you can't play with 10-15 frames, that just sucks. My logical reaction was turning down the graphics settings a little bit in order to achieve more frames. Now what bugs me the most is (I almost only play as a sniper) that I didn't see players as far away as I used too. Because of the vision and because the frames didn't really improve much (to be fair I only tried high settings instead of very high and no other changes, so that might not have been enough there) I switched it back to very high immediately. So, now, I've heard already that you can use the config file to manually adjust complexity/viewing distance etc. Does anyone have some experience already with what settings are good for FRAPS etc.? What I'd like to know eventually, is there a way (by tuning the configfile etc.) that the game looks more or less decent + AND MOST IMPORTANT that I have the full viewing distance (I need to see the people up to 1.1 kilometer at least) and have enough (e.g. 30ish) frames for recording? Or do I need an even better computer? Because that one was more than expensive enough already... I don't get it. Do I need more RAM or even an SLI graphics setup? Thanks for your help guys & cheers from Switzerland re-patch

Thanks again guys for the explanations. I am experimenting at the moment with FRAPS, Shadowplay, DXTory, Audacity and Magix, I haven't sound my perfect setup yet, but I will soon hopefully :) I'm still a bit scared to use ShadowPlay though, I've heard it's not good for SSD's apparently, anyone has some good info about that? I'm only finding rumours etc. cheers, RePatch

Hi @ All As this is my first post, I'll start with a short introduction. I'm re-patch, coming from Switzerland, I'm going to be 27 years old in 5 days. If you want to know anything specific, go ahead and ask :D Before I get to my questions, I noticed that once you start writing your topics title, the forum automatically shows recent/older threads with similar topic titles. This is the first time I'm seeing such a feature in a forum, that's very nice & a good way to avoid double posts I guess. Please do forgive me if some of my questions should have been answered already, I didn't check the search for every single one of them. So, I do have several random questions, would be glad if someone could help me clarify. 1. condition of longe range scope I've heard quite some time ago that the condition of the long range scope actually matters, e.g. they were saying that if you use a damaged or badly damaged one, you might have to aim slightly to the upper right of your target. Was that ever the case/confirmed by the defs.? 2. are the compensator (mosin) and the bipod actually working? I have a feeling that the compensator is not working at all, regardless what condition it is. It should reduce recoil right? The bipod is working (I'm pretty sure from testing myself), even though it's not possible anymore to mount in on the Mosin at the moment, hope this gets fixed soon. 3. patch 0.46, long range scope, compensator & bipod I'm not sure how to put this so you get my meaning... I know about the fact that for longer ranges you still can't see the bullet hole/dispersion, meaning there is at the moment no way to correctly adjust after a missed shot. I know about the not working bipod and the shaking of the crosshair (which I got "fixed" by binding it onto three different keys) as well. BUT, considering all this, I still have had like 10-20 shots in the last few days, for which I was 100% sure that they should've been hits (between 300 and 850 meters). I know some of them might be because of desync, lagg, whatever, but is it possible that there was some major change to the Mosins behavior I know nothing about? Because I didn't have a problem at all to hit targets up to 600 meters and know I do. Any ideas? 4. condition of weapon attachement I'm wondering about the weapon attachements (for all weapons) condition. Are there really any disadvantages in using attachements that are either worn, damaged or badly damaged? It feels like most of those "stats" aren't really working/have not been implemented yet. Is that possible? If not, which are working/important to know and which are not? For the M4 I found that a complete magpul (you call it like that?) attachement set in pristine works wonders (precision etc.) compared to other setups for example. 5. shooting (the mosin) and other weapons while prone and lying in grass Usually I'm crouched when I'm shooting with the Mosin. However, there are several spots where prone would be much better. I have a feeling though that there are spots where the grass is blocking all the shots. Is that true? Even if the landscape is pretty flat in front of you? That happens of course mostly when you're trying to shoot "up" a little bit, I found it's not a problem when you are lying and shooting at a target more below (logical because there is no grass in the way then). 6. is that correct? I've read the following about DayZ, is that viable? If so, why the "last few slots"? "items get damaged according to their position in the inventory container. The last few slots in a full backpack are generally safe and a good place to store bandages and morphine (keeping your bag stuffed with useless items is a good thing, actually. I used to laugh at noobs who carried stuff that wasn't implemented fully)" 7. how does breaking free of the handcuffs work? Do I need to be crouched? What keys (what order etc.) do I have to press? 8. can someone explain to me how that statement below is meant? rocks and trees with low branches have different hitboxes than displayed up close, so aim well away from them. Is that what happened to me when I tried to crouch to far backwards into a tree and the shot hit the "invisible" branch in front of me? I can't remember more, there are one or two more things I wanted to know... I'll edit as soon as I remember :P Thanks for helping me & have a good time everyone cheers, RePatch

Sorry, I forgot about that post :) I haven't used it now for some time either, mainly because you often need several hits now (because of that stupid protection through clothes/items whatever). But thanks for your input, appreciate it. Haha you sure got yourself some practise on that picture mate :D @rotteck Thanks for the explanation. I haven't been handcuffed ever since and thus didn't have the chance to try again, but I will eventually I guess :)

Please please fix this as soon as possible. I loved the Mosin (basically playing only that weapon since the start, not only as sniper but with irons as well). Well, the weapon is shit now, even the .22 sporter is better at the moment. It needs up to 3 shots to kill someone who is in range of 0-100 meter. That's just ridiculous.
