I once saw a Bambi being chased by a pair of lightly geared people down the coast. I sniped the two guys chasing him but they had already shot him badly. One of the two bandits was alive still (just down) so I quickly drew a blood bag from him and bandaged the bambi. I dispatched the bandit then (after testing it) gave the Bambi the transfusion and left all the loot plus some of my own spare medical supplies to him.

I'm the thread author my rig is on the first post. By system stays around 90% GPU 75%CPU wherever I am

Least optimized in the world huh? Well if what your reporting is true than I suppose but in my experience CPU/GPU load stays the same wherever I am. Which if this is the case imply the engines isn't properly allocating resources and that the City FPS drop is related to the system trying to do more with the same resources. Correcting this is probably down to letting the engine better understand the system its on so it sees that it has 4gb of VRAM and multiple cores. Even if the game remains as us optimized as it is better multithreading and resource allocation would help immeasurably! The 2015 roadmap mentioned a "new renderer" in its Q1 goals. I wonder if this renderer is to help improve performance or visuals because in my opinion the visuals are fine and a better functioning renderer is a better idea than a prettier one.

In order to hack DayZ players have to acquire specialized software that circumvents BattleEye and VAC. My question is why don't the developers buy some of these programs so they can identify how they are circumventing the safety's and shut down the weaknesses?

from the general tone of this thread it seems that optimization should be looked at by the developers in at least a cursory manner

What kind of performance are you getting out of that system?

I've seen plenty of youtubers play with at least 30fps steady in cities so I think the game is capable of it if treated carefully and using the right hardware

Do you have three 2gb ram sticks? I've never heard of 6gb of ram 12 gb yes but never 6gb

4gb of ram is a reasonable number since most computers these days (even laptops) are equipped with a 64bit OS and 4gb or more of ram.

That's a pretty powerful rig if your only getting 25-30fps in cities try upping your graphics to max I'm guessing your bottlenecking your GPU since its one of the best on the market and your processor is solid. Try maxing the settings and if that dosent help its probably your internet

in my experience DayZ is like life you find everything you don't need when you don't need it but as soon as you do (IE get a shotgun) whatever your looking for is no where to be found (IE a new Girlfriend)

my suggestion is to set everything to high yup im serious the problem is either your bottlenecking your graphics card or your internet is shoddy

in my experience this isnt related to the compass but the server. me and my friend tested this theory by jumoing around a dozen or so servers (beofre you get annoyed we did no looting at all and this was in the name of science) we each had four compasses two that said pristine one that said damaged and one that said badly damaged. What we determined is that it is a server related issue since all would either be broken or all would be working

i think it was with a makarov on a guy facing the other way. the first gun battle i was in ended in me killing the two baddies but being killed in the process lol. that was with my AKM

My general policy is that if me and my friend (we always play together) see someone we don't KOS unless they open fire. For example yesterday we were in Electra when we saw a player in a field kill a zombie and go to one of the fire stations (we had both been killed recently so we had pump shotguns and fire axes no rifles or anything). We cautiously moved in staying in cover when we heard gunshots from the station as several fully geared players fraught one another. We kept our distance skirting around the and I ran into a player who I'm calling mr or game since he had an orange raincoat and boonie cap. I saw him first and could see he had a backpack but no gun and had a fire extinguisher for a melee weapon. I moved to the open so he could see me and waved. He did the same and I knew I could trust him. My friend joined us and together we stalked the geared players who were now moving across the town. I gave him ammo for his revolver and he left after awhile. Not sure what happened to him. What I'm trying to say is if you have a strong chance of not being killed say hi if your at risk then stay away. Geared players don't want to die do they KOS same with bambies who have nothing to loose. It's the lightly geared players who you can trust if your in the same situation

The problem with reporting hackers. As previously stated. Is that you often don't know who killed you and even if you see a hacker at a distance how will you know who they are? This leaves two options report the location and have the admins check what was going on after the fact. Or give a way to identify players that kill you and break immersion as well as set up crazy revenge plays. In my opinion the report should be short something like: Location: highway gas station outside of Electra towards cherno Time: 5:23Pm Behavior observed: invisible fire axe wielding demon Name (if known):

Human nature

This isn't really earth shattering news since its just how real life works. You can't hit someone with a full axe swing if they are literally in your face. Stepping inside of an opponents swing is a major aspect of self defense since you can't punch someone who is chest to chest with you.

So according to a certain faction of the forums, DayZ is a broken unplayable game used as a poor excuse to steal the money of the people who paid for it. For the more rational forum user its a game in development with some broken features. This thread is just to see what people think is most broken.

Your link is broken for me but worked for half a second. Anyway I read number 1 and it was massive FPS drops near cities and this is simply due to having more objects to render. This is something that can be optimized but is not a bug just an effect of any game of this scope. Lowing terrain objects settings helps immeasurably

Most games today are built on engines that have been around for half a decade or more they just keep getting updated. Just because a Thermonuclear bomb was designed in the 50s doesn't mean it is any less deadly.

I am fully aware of this and welcome the chaos

Frame rate is often client side this is more focused on server side lag

1: melee weapon 2: primary weapon 3-4: secondary weapons 4-5: binoculars 5-6: compass 6-7: bandages 7-8: canteen 8-0: unused most often reserved for random useful things
