The game looks and sounds great. And seemed less desyncy. Loot was scarce but not hopeless. I got dying of starvation and hypothermic but could overcome both with loot I found. Problems though: There are no chickens anymore? This makes it hard to find food as a newspawn. Its also quite annoying to hear birds, squirrels and rabbits chirping away but there are no animals? Memory crash is still in. People are still shit? I got shot twice by the same person, who was running around Kamyshovo killing newspawns. Then by another guy who shot me while I was picking apples. I mean, who is really this shitty? Met one nice guy running around with a barrel though so 1-3. No spawns to the west is not so good as the repetition of running the same roads between deaths is quite boring. I thought the devs would have understood this by now? Its not doing any good either. Just a longer stretch for plebs to run. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

Its still quite random. I've spawned in Berezino and found a gun or two almost right away and also gone to the gun houses outside of elektro and come up with nothing. Its not a problem at all as this game doesnt have mandatory shooting when youre a newspawn. Loot up first, kill bambis later.

I had a few things happen the other day. I found my very first SVD after 2100 hours of gaemplay :) I also found a magazine for it with 4 bullets. I almost got to use it too but the guy who attacked me ran away. Y-day I went to NWA and saw a bus on the hill so i went to it. As I'm checking its content I hear rustling behind me and a guy in a red beret pops out and starts shotting. I shoot him twice with my shotgun and am pretty sure I got him. Unfortunately he got me too. Later I get to Stary tents and I notice a guy already there looting. He attracts a lot of zeds and start shooting them. After a bit he has a veritable horde behind him so i decide to help him. I shoot a few with my shotty and lure them to a house and trap them there. I don't see the guy again.

This version doesnt work at all for me. So many crashes. And not just memory thingy but random lockups and stuff that I've never had before.

My fps differs from day to day and depending on what server I am on. Its weird as hell. I can be on one full server and get 65 fps, then it restarts and I go to another full server and have 120 fps in the exakt same spot.

Why are texture son items so shitty? It didnt use to be like this, just look at the screenshot fo the the lootsplosion up above. Things look way better. Its not my settings, I have tried everything. But for some reason items in your inventory have no high resolution textures. Strangely if i put the item on the ground it seems to have this.

I played for several hours tonight with no crashes so that was great, balance of food and items was good, my chracter got wet, cold, hungry and sick but it was containable. Though, blackface is still a thing, so is superfast crawling zeds, lightning with no clouds in the sky, zeds glitching through doors, the radio tower at Altar is still unclimbable after lvl 2 and the thing where a weapon doesnt go into the slot it came from but into the main weapon slot, causing your fully kitted m4 to drop on the ground, never to be found :( And a wolf ate my hat.

I think this HAARP array is new:

Ive found two vests but no backpacks.

Woot! I hit the motherload!

Thousands of guns go missing in chernarus every year. This is the reason for it. It would be much easier if your character had a slot for melee, a slot for rifle, a slot for handgun etc. That way they wouldnt get lost so easily but it would make it more like any other game out there, which is bad.

I believe you need edge smoothing on high to get proper trees. But a lot of things look like crap at a distance. When you look through binos or scopes its like no surfaces renders, everything is just big blocks.

Same thing here. Sometimes the pink is blue.

It would be interesting to hear how you play the game since what you are describing is not exactly what I'm experiencing. Example: Y-day I spawned outside of Solnichy. I picked up a stone knife and stick and ran south. By the time I got to Kamy I had found some food and my first gun, a chambered p1. In elektro there was shooting so i kept to the outskirts but found burlap so i made a backpack. I also found a shotgun there and later a chambered scoped sporter. I continued on south finding some better clothes and outside Cherno a waterproof backpack. I went into cherno and found a 1911 with mag and some bullets, an sks and more food. I fell in the water and had to make a fireto get dry. I continued towards balota and found a tent in the woods next to the airstrip and picked up a blaze and some ammo for it and swapped out the 1911 for a cr with mag and silencer. At Balota someone moved outside the hangars while I was there but never attacked me. I found a corpse in a house outside but no good loot. Continued on to pavlovo mil base where I found some military clothes and boots and a few bullets for the SKS. Unfortunately I got cornered by some zeds and had to run to the roof. Now I'm down to 4 blaze rounds and a stick :/ Ready to go again tonight.

Does anyone else have issues with patches of blue ground near certain areas? Particularly the new tent camps dotted around the map. It seems to only affect certain types of grassy spots.

You can just sit under a tree and make a fire. It doesnt work anywhere but in a lot of places. Enough so you shouldnt have to die from hypothermia. I admit that i find the rain annoying if I dont have a raincoat but thats life. Its a female dog and then you lie down for a bit.

There are no such servers.

For an evening of playtime it is quite well balanced. You spawn, run around the coast for a bit, get your first gun quite early on and spend a while finding bullets. You go inland and find food and better clothes, then get to the first military areas and find an auto with mag, mil clothing and pack, then continue on to get shot dead by some a-hole you never see. And all in the space of a few hours. But for a continued character it is way too easy. Theres usually no point at all in playing a character for more than a sitting as the amount of gear you can find once you are geared and in the right area is just silly.

You CAN get a refund from steam. As long as its within 14 days and you dont have more than 2 hours of playtime. So just go for it.

One more thing on the improvised bow. The arrows goes straight through zeds, animals and players. They kill them nicely but you can see the puffs of smoke as they hit the underbrush behind them never to be found. When the crossbow and bow arrived arrows stuck to walls, trees and on bodies, please bring this back.

Bows are quite nice now. It needs a quiver though.

I had a thing happen. I spawned near Svet, went the route to Krasnostav and then to Gorka. When I'm approaching the deer stands I see four or five guys come running across the field, geared to the teeth, m4's, ak's, ghillies and shit. I have a chambered Makarov. I didn't know if they saw me so i hid behind a tree and waited. Ofcourse they come straight for me so i decide to F11 it. Strangely they all run straight past me as I'm sitting in the tree with my gun to my head. But since its bedtime I decide to end it. I wonder what they said about it?

Cholera's a bitch.

I played experimental on tuesday night. Went to play yesterday and it wouldnt start. 0.60 starts no problem but not exp. What happens is that the small start-up box comes up and then closes. its says in steam thats dayz is running and then it just stops even trying to start. At first I thought, no big deal, and tried a number of things, reinstalling dayz, reinstalling steam, changing some minor stuff like admin rights, reinstalling divx and c++ and a lot of stuff like that but nothing worked. So today I reinstalled windows. Updated all drivers and shit and when I press that button to play experimental.....nothing. What the actual fuck? I have a computer that gets a 7.8 score on windows index with no fualts and it played experimental fine on tuesday. I changed NOTHING and suddenly it does't work. And as I said, 0.60 starts and runs fine but not exp. Help.

I had the misfortune to spawn in a rainy server and had to spend the first hour or so making fires to keep me warm. I have notice one thing that is kinda stupid adn that wasn't in the game earlier. When you remove a wet garment and put a dry one on, thta garment immediately becomes wet. This is kinda awkward as it defeats the puprose of finding dry clothes when you are wet and its stopped raining. I do understand that putting on dry clothes when you are wet would make those clothes soak up the moisture but any normal person would dry himself first.
