my point is he's just cherry picking. plenty of pc-only games have been disappointments the development of this game has been all about doing things different. so have a little faith and don't assume it will fall into the same traps as other games. rocket seems pretty stubborn about making the game he wants, so lets see how this all works out. I see this just like him talking about the game on one big eve-like server. it's something he would like to do, but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen

you're just blaming consoles for game companies empty promises it's hard to really say since there's so few pc-only games. I guess we could look at SWTOR and Diablo 3...

I haven't had this issue with getting sent back to the shore at all. are you sticking to 1.7.2.5 servers? I ask because it happened to my friend when he went from a .5 to .4 server

it's not just about this thread, since it's been an issue since 1.7.2.4. there was a thread in 'Troubleshooting' that had these types of responses that got closed http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/49740-graphical-bugs/ it seems it's effecting people with various cards from nvidia and amd. when that thread was closed it seems like it was 'problem solved', but apparently not. hopefully they've figured it out by now

let me just start by saying I know about that and was joking anyway... but he was the one that said this was a hotfix for the weekend. I guess he was hoping to give us 1.7.3 this week but then things didn't go well with the hotfix

oh rocket.... first responsible for the 'longest hour on the internet', now the 'longest weekend'...

it's my understanding that DayZ uses a version of the Chernarus map that is for one of the DLC's. that's where all the dead soldiers, burnt up cars, and hum-v's come from. I imagine it wouldn't be hard to just use the 'vanilla' Chernarus map, but you would lose a lot of atmosphere

but what does that have to do with 1.7.2.5? what specific bugs are you talking about? it uses private hives, so that's probably a lot of it. no dead soldiers, so no artifacts. smaller map probably helps with performance. less hackers because there's less players but none of that has anything to do with 1.7.2.5

does that statement have anything to do with the 1.7.2.5 update?

yes, but it's been clearly established that these 'fixes' don't work for everyone. it's just frustrating dealing with this for weeks and then someone says, "oh, you just have to switch your vid memory to default". like I said, we've beaten this horse to death not saying any of this is you personally, but there's been a lot of condescending crap coming from people that are lucky enough to be able to work around the issue. there's also been some wacky 'fixes' suggested that I'm sure has caused people to waste time doing things like reformatting their HDD and re-installing their OS (sounds crazy, but I'm sure someone has done it) I had the feeling someone would try to use that against me. that's why I first said "I... agree these issues need to be fixed". also in that case the 'work around' actually works. and it has to do with the mechanics of the game, not with settings

it's just that we pretty much beat that horse to death when the artifacts first popped up with .4

it's a problem when you drop anything with the tent you have to put everything from your current backpack in the tent, or on the ground first I understand and agree these issues need to be fixed, but there are ways to avoid them if you do things a certain way

mine are, and I still get artifacts it just gets to the point where I have to point out that you should not be getting artifacts, regardless of your settings. it needs to be 'fixed', and not just avoided by some 'work-around'

it worked for me it seems people have 'random bugs' regardless of how they update. but I had no problem bandaging

-open the new backpack -put everything from your current backpack in the new backpack -then pick up the new backpack

"Play with SIX" supports the new update http://play.withsix.com/

that's bullshit. before I got this game, I watched a bunch of videos about the mod, and pretty much every one mentioned it was unstable and still in the 'alpha' phase

not to mention once you get by Zelen you're in prime crashed helicopter territory

I'm assuming you restarted the game when you "came back a few hours later". restarting the game is the 'fix' that works for most people

they should just roll out the patch on SU people are getting artifacts either way. and so many servers have updated

SU is still using 1.7.2.4 if you want to play 1.7.2.5, you're probably going to have to bypass using SU

it's still using 1.7.2.4 probably because 1.7.2.5 hasn't been confirmed to fix the artifacts issue

for most people the artifacts appear after playing for awhile. so just jumping to different servers isn't a good test

SU is still using 1.7.2.4 the update you saw was it updating the Arma beta

SU isn't updating to 1.7.2.5 yet
