Hold Ups, Stick Ups, Non-Lethal Robbery (Dear Bad Guy)
sneakydudes replied to ☣BioHaze☣'s topic in General Discussion
so your playing a role playing game inside a pvp environment server? or role-playing on a role-playing server? -
hmm? they do eat people, and we eat them if we want. I think you just forgot, but the infected do or will do all of the above. Its just not as visible as you saw yet.

shhhhh your suppose to agree =D

Rags spent all day doing that graphics, i would take him serious lol

Your not following the road map. https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/215848-dayz-moving-into-2015-roadmap/#entry2317653 Q2 maybe behind a few months at most. Net code will be worked on in beta along with tweaks. Bugs will be fixed more and more. Fixing the same or different bug caused by one problem doesn't solve the timeline. Stamina may have been put off until the render engine and Infected are fixed.

Based on the team size, and the complete revamp of the engine. I expect nothing less of whats going on. I am not defending their time, as i have never had the chance to visit their place of business. BI also redirected some things. New tools must have been made. Really, its hard to know everything behind the scenes. I just know from everything hicks, and the rest have mentioned that they had to rework much of the game itself. So oompah, if i was your boss and i told you to rethink your game now, and add in moding + server type like we do in arma games, would this not stop the game and go backwards to make sure your able to do this? I am not disputing anything you say there, i am merely saying that not each business model can say that things should be up and going right away. Its just going on 2 years not 3. It was a modded game prior, arma 2. They do have a roadmap you can review, it will explain everything they are trying to accomplish in time. They also have not given you the next builds. All we know they could be on build 69 and releasing build 59 soon. So we may all think we know whats going on behind the scenes at BI, Dayz Studios but we do not. We also don't know what the big bosses changed on the team either. As an owner of a small business i can tell you, i handle what 8 of you guys do in 1 day each and every day, and drive 3 hrs back and forth from work. Time is a factor in any business. and to go out and hire 10 new programmers and graphics artists don't really work either. You have to retrain them into your business model. This takes time too. Review Brian hicks is a very qualified individual, don't think he wont be pushing his team to the max soon enough. The road map is a tough to follow design phase any one would not want to follow.

I will offer some assistance to the testing of graphics. Review this. https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/228617-release-dayz-config-tweak-tool/ It might help tweaking some of the stuff, and if its windows 10 i recommend windows 7 to increase the fps. Do you have an SSD drive? it will help big time. 550w, 530r is the aim and or better. Adata appears to have some drives with better r/w
-
You got a good system, the cpu is a step up from mine and i will normally get 65-150fps with the 780ti sc card the 900 dollar one still 5th best by standards after 3 years. Ok lets try to solve what is happening here to you. Never seen 20fps unless its a problem with a loading issue on the cpu, graphics. I do recommend bumping it up to 16gb my friend, and you will be very happy. Also low graphics might be the problem. What windows are you running and what graphics driver version do you have?

will i regret buying this game ?
sneakydudes replied to trojan42 (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
I haven't played since .54 i think it was last. I wanted to experience much more then all that testing we did. I also don't want to ruin my experience with the hate for no zombies then yes zombies. I want a more polished experience. Did my testing now taking a break from it all. -
yup 4.58 right side roof ran left then ran right off your screen.

I however will be following your tools, and bookmark it for future references.

@dethorhyne This is the way it is going to work. You will break a ton of things, and you will get all kinds of support how to do things... maybe not so much because your not offering to show the code. Your tool has to follow one major rule, keep tabs on the settings in the game. Some settings will be added and others will be commented out. You will find it a full time job for the majority of the time keeping tabs on what changes and what doesn't. Github will be your friend for support. You can also move it to there, for added control of the suggestions, and advertisement control. https://github.com/ Your choice to open source it if you want. But remember if you do, you will be supporting questions, on development. I recommend you clean up this topic and ask the dev's to remove its contents. Dayz will not be doing anything less then what arma 3 does, if it goes that direction. You can review those forums if you like. You could also send it to steam, but remember to look at the fine print about anything uploaded to steam can be the property and used by steam. Just an FYI. Being so early in development, it might be good to just destroy this topic post it in github and provide links to it in a different way. Since we dont have a scripts section in the forums. What people dont see wont harm them right now. When the time is right, re post your work. Its not your fault for linking it so soon, just nobody is really ready for any 3rd party mods, or tools yet.

In the end NO, but at the start you will have doubts. but 1 box of pizza, large order of garlic bread, = more then 30 bucks with a tip. not that cardboard garbage pizza. This is where people dont get it, its a large open alpha that moves towards beta and then release. This is a current time in you dayz life that you come and go. Its a part of your steam package now. -
It still doesn't give anyone any rights to start attacking a member of the community. Id like to thank you for spending all this time working on a tool that should help the rest with tweaks. I am sure you will keep up this tool in the future? if changes are made? to better guide the community. I am sure there has been a ton of other apps out there that have problems. Its a WIP project, and most of these people have no idea about the Mod's that will be introduced soon enough. But still if your still un sure about the product you can scan with a few different tools. E set online scanner (probably have a ton of garbage already) Malware bytes (oh i bet you haven't seen what else you have) and most of all your own. Is there any way you can zip this up? this way it doesn't seem so iffy with some MS blocks to EXE files? Further more, being critical is one thing on these forums but lately i have been noticing that we have a ton of jackasses that have nothing better to do but harass and troll someone. These are not only against the rules but someday will be followup on. Id like to see the mature people actually start posting again. Until then we all have to sift through a ton of Bullshit posts like what i just read.

If your sure you want to do this, and are not really that strong with it. Find a good PC tech and ask him if you can downgrade it. He or she should be able to search and find out if they can downgrade it for you. Even if its a test. Its only money, not that you cant redo it in windows 8.1 and then windows 10 after doing all the windows 8.1 updates. I really hate computers you know.... and i am starting to despise MS, apple..... We need someone new, and solid to rebuild what we like. Remember this..... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media and https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 Before you even think of anything, and also backup your files please.....!!!!

Problem now is downgrading to windows 7. The HDD has been changed, and the laptop may only support UFEI drives. You will need to check the bios first. Make sure you have window 7 drivers, and if not check with Intel, etc.... I really shouldn't be telling you this online, since its not a support site and its not good practice at all to tell someone to redo their system. I hope you understand its up to you. Doing so may help improve your gaming experience but remember you wont have DX12 then. Your on your own after that.

DayZ would probably be better without any military gear
sneakydudes replied to Mukaparska's topic in General Discussion
And those are just two of the various "Day Z clones", which saturated the market after the Standalone when EA. And, I used to say that "Day Z is much more fun and in-depth than those games!", but .... they really aren't any more. And don't say " Wait for .59!". I am playing .59, and so far it looks to be more of the same old, same old. Guns, military loot, less-than-basic, bare-bones survival. The zombies are back in, but they aren't any more difficult to avoid. Just getting burnt out on Day Z in general. And this was with taking a 3 month break from the game with .57 and .58. The soul just isn't there any more, it seems. Just more guns and more asswipery. This is a PVE person, or RP. Completely different then a PVP person. Each person in this game decides their fate. If they wish to kill you because of your voice then so be it. Myself i would use a bow and kill all of you. Just because i like to pvp. I also like to PVE. RP isnt my cup of tea, i dont like pretending to be micheal jackson. Even if you take guns away, ill still make a bow and hunt you down. I enjoy the survival aspect of game play. If we all decided to do this on a different server, it is completely our choice. This doesnt involve you but your always welcome to try it. However, this will all be addressed when we mod. You can play vanilla servers, this is completely your choice. But you also have to understand there are many other players out there that will completely disagree with your game play. Some of us and looking at the majority of the servers filled to the brim, appear to want PVP. This is their choice, along with the choice to pick or find random gear. This is also based on the amount of server hoping trying to find the best gear for them. I totally understand where you are coming from, but this is why Dayz has decided to go towards personal servers, and moding :) Ill tell you why those numbers are different. People are trying different games, to try the survival or PVP, PVE. I run a Ark server, as well as an Arma 3 server from home. We wanted all to try something different and people enjoy the new dinosaur game. Dayz will be much more towards the survival of infected. H1z1 is a knockoff of their own type and will fail period.... in the end. You want to place bets on how many try http://survivethenights.net/for the first time? Its not ready and its a small team. It will most likely pull numbers from ARK and defiantly from H1Z1. If it is completed before dayz, numbers will change. So basing it on something you don't know the exact reason, throws negative feedback out there. People want to explore and steam also allows them to explore different and new games out there. Ark is fun, in its own game. Would i place that over dayz.... gawd no its a different game. I also play Arma 3 and i also play some of these shoot em games. I just wish many more old Everquest MMO's get out there... almost ready to make my own EQ server soon out of years of boredom. I enjoy those older mmo's and since nothing came close to that feeling i and so many others are paying tons of money to find that first MMO experience out there. Being 45 now, and all of us old timers are getting annoyed and think nothing will ever come close. The numbers are slowing down, all you see is game hoppers out there. -
DayZ would probably be better without any military gear
sneakydudes replied to Mukaparska's topic in General Discussion
i disagree completely, Its fun for most to explore and putting certain items on their to do lists. Every one of us haven't experienced the end game yet. We don't know the next course of additions to the game yet. Building hasn't been introduced and game play PVP, PVE hasn't been completed. Everyone of us have made the game either PVE, or PVP at this time. We all decided to PVP some or RP, each to its own. Basing it on something that is 1/4 or less introduced to us is flawed in your decision making. I would say vehicles are more a problem then gear. Gas is no good after a length of time. Aiming for specific gear, is no issue and basing it on that so early in the development is so flawed. I am sorry but i must completely disagree. -
There is no way you can build a gaming rig? Laptops are so picky running high end games like arma, and dayz. Ark probally runs like crap on it too. It really boils down to the CPU. If you can purchase an older i7 3770k, and find a 980 or less for decent price online it will serve you much better. Nothing you do really will make the game run better, faster. Nothing... Laptops are not meant for real gaming needed. They try, lots out there but at what costs to upgrades? in the long run you spend way more then a desktop like i suggest. 3 years? i got out of this one, and it still runs the games perfectly. Its a 780ti sc card (900.00) at the time, but the i7 3770k you might find that somewhere cheap. Online many people will be selling older gaming rigs. But it still runs this one great. socket 1150 isn't all that bad, you can by the 4790k and over clock it now or later. Its a choice you have to make. Laptops simply don't have what it takes.

I hate them more!! - getting out of the pc industry if i can. After 21+ years maybe 24 who's counting.... i cant stand the whinny ass customers. They do something wrong, they blame the IT always Wait on windows 10 guys, do the download, but don't install it yet. This is until you get all your drivers, and research everything before installing it. Otherwise you wont be happy when your FPS drops to 20 and your wondering why. Don't get me wrong win 10 looks rather nice, but isnt ready yet.. Mostly the manufacturers are not ready. Rather buy OEM of win 10 so its a fresh license.

They are ok, demons i cant stand. Its pretty much the same over and over because they dont have the team to make it better. but they also go through the walls too in arma 3, exile, ryan zombies....

I keep getting this error everytime i load the game then search for servers then exit. The instruction at 0x7797d968 refereced memory at 0x00000014. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program Suggestions? havent played in awhile but i have noticed this since updating to .58

The mod is different then the standalone. As they are redoing a completely new system because of limits. I understand your looking for differences in both. I haven't played the dayz mod but i am going to assume its scripted in by dean originally and uses animations and skins. Very close to what we are doing in Exile and Epoch right now. SA in defense is re creating a totally new rag doll system, and there will be many things different, and changes down the road. You have to review the Dayz Mod and review what they are doing in Dayz SA before trying to compare them against each other. The mod is completed a while ago, and being worked on as they go. The SA is not completed yet and is a totally new system. I also believe since its being done from scratch they don't want to duplicate it like the dayz mod. Most of which the limits of the existing arma 2. I could be completely wrong here on some of the facts since i haven't really looked at the code for dayz mod. another reason to have more https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/229971-found-this-article-on-collision-preventing/ Helps address those issues, which i know will be fixed down the road.
