No it was no hacker thing, he just ran zigzagging through teh corridor and ended up breakjng my legs with his fiorst hit and then knocking me out with his second. Quite silly. But I encounter this often, If you dont have a semi auto or better punchers will get you if you let them come close. I even had a similar encounter today. Today three things happened, two annoying and one quite fun. I got to the airfiled with a medioum-geared character, No auto but a Cr with scope and glock. I ran along the edge of the airfield on the north side and got to the little green guardhouse. Even before I run past it someone fires at me and hits. I right away go fpr a quick dive to avoid the bullets but instead my character starts to reload. So I stand there reloading, cant do nothing. Naturally Im killed and the person killing me is obnoxious. I log in with a very well-geared character in cherno, AKM w drum masgs, mp5, cr75, grenades, the lot. No scopes for any rifles though which turned out was a bit of a shame. Im on teh little peninsula sitting in the tin barn scopeing the town with my binos. I spot two players sitting in the cranes sniping bambis so i shoot at them for a bit but dont manage to kill them so change position to the construction site. I notice some players on triple yellow that actually seems to have a firefight with the guys in the cranes so engage them too. After a while I pull out and do a flanking maneuver on the eastern hill. I then meet a guy who shoots at me with a blaze. he hits me, I fire off some rounds but am unsure if they hit and someone starts shooting at me from the cranes so I leg it. Im hit by the blaze guy again so I stop behind a tree a toss a grenade. I never hear it explode. I run on and stopa gain and pull out my mp5. As the guy runs by I spray him with bullets, he pulls out his blaze, shoots a round at something to the far right of me and I die. He then proceeds with obnoxiussness ofcourse, like they always do. I Log in with a medium geared character in Cherno again. I hear gunfire from the police station adn notice a player sniping from the hospital so I shoot him with my longhorn. I go to him to loot him but hes already there picking his gear up and moving to the topmost roof. I throw a flashbang up there and climb up. The guy is totally blinded so i look for something to tie him up with but he seems to come to so I shoot him instead. I loot his body and move down. The shooting by the police station starts up again so i check it out. I see some lowgeared people but there seems to be an a-hole inside so i wait for him. As I wait, the guy I killed is back again and hes not happy. I tell him to go up on the roof and get my sporter and gear I left but he wants nothign of it and goes after me. Not wanting to get punched by rifles not working well i simply run around on the roof for a few minutes while he tries to punch me. I taunt him also so that he will come to see the folly of his ways and eventually he gives up so I climb down and leave.

Well theres no need to leave weapons or ammo. And eventually you'll get shot in teh back anyways so why not make it more interesting.

It seems like normal PVP mostly. Its hard to tell but theres people shooting and then its not really KOS. One thing that annoys me though, and this is nto directed mainly at you, is that a lot of players tend to shoot downed players in the head right away, not giving them any chance of recovery and breaking the atmosphere of the game. The most fun I've had in this game has been when I've been downed, had my gear stolen and have been able to regear and get revenge. There are so many options with bandaging, tying people up, dressing them up and posioning them, why go for the most boring option, shoot them in the head? Shooting two guys with a makarov is pretty epic, I must say.

Today I noticed some truly disturbing behaviour with a player. I met him in Dubky as we went into the same house from different ends. He raised his Cr 527 right away but I talked to him and he lowered it. He said he didnt have bullets for it anyway, the lying bastard. I didnt have anything of value which I told him and we talked a little, then when I turn to show him something he immediately raises his gun. I move away but he follows and excuses himself. I stop once more and the second i turn slightly he raises his gun, shoots, misses and says sorry. I run and wait for him and he follows but spots me and shoots again so I move again and again he follows. I grow tired and run away. I climb a tall apartment building and see him below looking for me. I couldve easily axed him earlier which I also told him but some people just seems retarded.

Zeds will most likely come in larger numbers later, when they can optimize teh way the game handles them. I believe they mentioned backpacks spawning with loot, weapons with ammo etc might come later. Why would you need a guide for it ingame when you can find all the info you need for crafting very easily here, or on youtube? 15 cars would be much to many to handle. Someone would just gather them in his camp, still leaving none for other players. There is also a matter right now with the cars desyncing each other out, a lot. I think 5 cars per server is probably alright. Bicycles, motorcycles and the heli will also increase the number of vehicles later on.

There seems to be a bug with the crossbow. When you reload it always does two animations for the reload instead of one.

I'm 42 today. So I'm hoping for some Universal enlightenment this year. My plans are drink jeager and red bull, make some nice pork and fried baked potatoes and play a little Dayz, Poe and Ark. I'm gonna watch a few movies also. Tonight I'll go out and watch the fireworks and see whats happening around town. People are bound to be drunk and doing stupid things so its usually fun to watch. Last year I saw two young girls wearing the shortest skirts i've ever seen making out. It was a hoot.

MURDERERS! They're everywhere. But also some nice people. Well, one. I logged in in Cherno with a relatively new guy, had a pistol grip shotty and nothing else really. I heard someone shooting with a mosin from the eastern woods. I met a newspawn and talked to him for a bit nut he was clueless so i moved on. I went into a two story building close to the forest to check it out when I hear someone outside. A guy come sin and sprays some bullets form an automatic but misses. I tell him to back off but he says nothing. Soon, a newspawn appears, clearly baiting and after a while they attack. I shoot the newspawn in the legs but do no real damage on teh other guy though I'm sure I hit. I'm bleeding and the newspawn is now crawling around by me on teh second floor. I only have one round in my rifle. I avoid the newspawn but can hear the other guy repositioning himself. Suddenly a bullet cracks through a window. It seems there are three. I reload and auto guy attacks, spraying silent death. I get off one round. I respawn in Balota, find a backpack and two rifles right away. I see aguy so i greet him. He says hello and shoots me. I respawn in Svet. I loot for a bit and pick a Glock and mag off a dead guy in the police station. I meet a friendly guy in Olsha who leads me to a winchester. i got towards Berezino and by the railroad tracks I spot three players coming from that direction. They see me so i greet them, keeping my Glock ready. My hopes of a friendly encounter are gone when one of the guys say with a eastern-european accent "drop your backpack". I say no and drop him like a sack of potatoes. I move on to number two but he kills me with his rifle. I respawn south of Berezino. The area if full of newspawns, some living, some holding on to a semblance of life amidst screaming and chaos. I find a mosin with bullets and get the hell out. I make my way to Kamyshovo and two guys are occupying the police station. I train my sights on them but notice that they dont have any gear of importance so I let them be and move on. I find a hunting scope in a Deer stand. Good times. Today is my birthday.

Most likely it will use the same optics as the UMP and M4. I've seen thermal optics used in the mod and its just silly. Basically gamebreaking. I hope it is not implemented. Night vision goggles that cant be used in combination with optics would be nice though.

Rain was quite common in 0.59 experimental but I haven't had it once since stable. It thunders a lot though but it never starts to rain.

I read somwhere that the Arma engine has a rather strange system that throttle the frames from players on servers that are under strain. I've also noticed this particular problem and the strange difference between servers. One thing that to a very large extent throttles performance is the loot spawned. When lootsplosions were common the amount of loot would bog down the game to an almost unplayable regard and even crashing it at times.

Four things happened yesterday, all involving police stations strangely enough and with four different characters: I came upon the Svetlajorsk police station with a new character, carrrying guns but no ammo. I see a players head in the jail cell so I go up and talk to him for a bit. Hes slow to respond and I see him clutching his gun like theres no tomorrow so I leave. I come to Kamyshovo over the mountain when i hear a shot, winchester or svd. I sneak up so I can see the town and notice a dead player on the roof. I wait for the culprit to show himself but he doesnt so I leave. I spawn in Cherno and go to the police station. Outside is a guy loooting a dead guy. he's obviously a murderer so I aim with my Sks and shoot.It clicks. I check for ammo and theres none :/. The guy doesnt notice anything so I go into the station and after a while the guy comes in and searches it. He comes onto the roof where I am and starts attacking me with an axe, I tell him to stop but he doesnt. I throw a flashbang and go blind. I can still hear the other guy swinging but I'm still alive when i am kicked for some Lobby idling thing. I try to rejoin but it fails. I'm annoyed and leave. I make a new character and spawn on Skalisty. I get to Kamyshowo and theres a shitload of loot outside the police station. I go in and go on the roof and notice a guy running in and cycling the loot. He doesnt notice me so I sit and wait and check the loot from afar. A bambi shows up so the lootcycling guy attacks him. I tell him to stop but he doesnt so I shoot him with my sporter. Ive had my fill of police stations and leave.

Just play on 3pp server in 1pp mode and it works way better. I do it all the time and only switch to 3pp when I need the extra view. 1pp is more immersive also and makes the game more fun. Especially if you, like me, enjoy getting shot in the face all the time.

That kinda depends on how you look at things. If the way you look at things is this: We want money, when we got the money, people can go fuck themselves. then that kinda makes sense. I don't see any of that sentement coming from the Dev department though. But its a very small crew. Things take time. I simply believe that they are doing as good as they can but they may have taken on more than they can handle. Thats why its been delayed. They should have simply said from the start, this will take a lot of time, be patient and not say it likes its gonna be done anytime soon. I've disscussed this lively with people on youtube and in the steam forum but its pointless. Some people have simply decided for themselves how things are and no facts are going to change that. I particularly like the so common quote: " the mod was so much better" which is just plainly wrong. I can believe that the EXPERIENCE one had in the mod was better, but most likely becuase it was new and interesting things happened that you hadn't seen before. Its the same thing as saying that gaming was so much more fun on the old Commodore 64, which is was, in a way, becuse you didn't know any better. Load it up today and you will be severly dissapointed. The mod was a laggy, buggy, severely limited game, which is not anywhere even close to where Dayz Sa is today. But its impossible to get anyone to understand it, they have already decided.

You should be aware that Arma3 is a power-hungry beast, and doesnt run very well with low-end computers. If you then run a mod it will most likely be eating some of your fps as well. As for what game you should play, it all depends what you are after. From what I've seen of the Arma 3 dayz mod its all about Pvp, there are no survivalist aspects, and frankly it looks kinda stale. The Exile mod looks better. But this is a Dayz standalone forum, and we're all here because we like standalone. So get a high-end PC and get Standalone. A small tip regarding building your PC, You can get a really good computer buy not buying a new one. If you buy the older model of i7 (1366 socket)For example, you can buy a cpu, motherboard and lots of ram for the price of just a new i5 cpu. And they are similar in performance, at least regarding Dayz. Then you can get a better graphic card. Bear in mind that a decent graphic card for Dayz wil alone most likely cost you those 250 pounds.

The helmets and vest DO offer protection. Its just not so noticeable as most guns that are commonly used cause a lot of damage. You can take quite a lot of damage from small arms but only a few rounds from an ak and usually only one or two from a high powered hunting rifle or SVD.

You buy one, plug it in and play. Just look at one of the million videos on youtube on how to do it. Good cards to are Nvidia Gtx 970 or Amd radeon R9 290/390. You can also buy and older card, I have a radeon 7970 and its cheap and up to the task, almost as well as those two., Make sure you buy a 3GB memory card at least.

No there is a small difference with the vests. Wobo(all hail wobo!) covered it a while ago. I believe the plate carrier and press vest have the "ballistic" value. Anti stab vest have it too but very little. https://youtu.be/NRRvQAqHNAM?t=195

The answer is simple, no. I believe I've told you this already somewhere.

Are you in russia? Maybe you have a firewall blocking dayz, or using a proxy. Its hard for us to know. Is your steam working properly, there was some issues with it.

Did you not read what I wrote and if so, why not? Cloning is a good way to cause heaps of problems that you can never find the solution for. Reinstalling makes sure that these issues do not occur and this is where you should start. If the issue is still there after reinstalling at least you can look at other things.

I love this game. I've never had the kind of experience playing a game like I'v e had in this one before. However, I can pick and choose any game I want. If I was on a budget I would consider other options. Not because this is a bad investment but its important to note that the game is far from finished. Performance is mediocre even with a beast of a computer and some bugs will make you tear out your hair when they happen. The survivalist part of the game isn't that good yet either. The basics of it is there but its way too easy to find what you need so you rarely even need to hunt or forage. I wasn't really a big fan of the "famine" patch of 0.55 but it sure made me see how hard this game could really be. As it is now the game is mostly centrered on PVP. And if that is what one wants there are far better alternatives. When its finished it will no doubt be awesome and the alternatives that exist supporting the type of gameplay that Dayz provides aren't that great. If you want survival ARK is probably the best alternative, along with Rust, which I personally can't stand. H1Z1 is more of a Dayz mod light PVP game than survival and I hear it got an even bigger problem with hackers than Dayz. There are also quite a few single player games that are simply brilliant but still only single player, which is sad. If you don't mind being annoyed quite a lot at things you can't control, while having rare moments of pure excellense, then get Dayz. You need to be aware of what you are byuing though so you won't become one of the whiners.

According to Wobo the V3s can be driven without the glow plug.

Ive seen chickens, deer, a pig and a goat. Theres usually pigs or goats at Nadeshino or Vyshnoe. When an animal gets killed it isn't respawned til the server restarts. The range finder is working, you do need a battery for it though, then just look through it like a bino and press F

Strange that you both are getting kicked at the same time. Are you on the same network? Other than that it sometimes helps to validate the game files in steam. Can you see what the game says the reason is for the kick before it happens?
