Can we get the oil barrel to make a gongggg sound :lol:

No matter which gun you decide to keep the DayZ gods will give you a mag for the other :lol: You can try to keep both, Double carry both guns until you find yourself a barrel (or a tent). When you find a barrel then drop one gun, pick up the barrel and hide it in the woods, then go back and get the extra gun and stash it inside the barrel. (try to do this swap quickly, I'm not sure how long a gun will last just lying on the ground) There's always a possibility that someone will find your stash, but at least you gave yourself a chance :)

Yep. Go for a swim to get to the mainland. edit: spoiler because spolier

Probably a .22 but all of the .22's have slightly different stats, the Amphibia wiki mentions knocking-out unarmored players http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Amphibia_S But if the all of the wiki stats are accurate I'd say the Trumpet is probably the best choice. It has the same stats as the Amphibia minus the 200% bleed chance.

Wow those are some really nice shots! And a history lesson as well :thumbsup: Long live the Duke!

Welcome new guy, have some beans for your efforts :beans: This map is for DayZ Mod, not DayZ SA, while some of it may be relevant most of it is outdated. In my first few days playing DayZ the first player I met (translation: the first player who didn't kill me :P ) gave me the best bit of advice ever "See them before they see you" ...but that's much easier said than done . Good luck out there

Thanks, I will keep that in mind B) While I think it's good for the game to try to increase the amount of 1PP play, those of us who also play 3PP will be looking for reliable persistence servers to make their home. If I have some confidence that an admin won't mess with the persistence I might change my vote from Banana to Yes, Please :thumbsup:

Maybe something is interfering with your client? Does the Battleye cmd window stay open with any information? or does it just flash quickly then disappear? 1) If you have Razers booster (or any other booster) installed try uninstalling or disabling it 2) Try disabling your antivirus temporarily and see what happens Good luck.

I always have at least one 1PP and one 3PP character going. Admittedly I mostly play 3PP but I don't see the harm in giving 1PP some more love and exposure. My only concern is that not having an official 3PP server would mean that my camp persistence would always be at risk from the whim of a random admin, so I'd have to find a reliable home server. On that note, I'd expect to see a rise in 3PP rentals from players investing in their own persistence. Right now there's plenty of "MEGALOOTZ 9000" servers, I wouldn't mind seeing a handful of rented "RELIABLE PERSISTENCE" servers thrown in there too. Anyway, I voted Banana. Devs gonna dev

I don't know if it was a bug or just something they were testing. Maybe they'll change it to something more appropriate but I suspect they won't even bother until the new renderer is in. It's just not a big one on the priority list.

I think they render at 200m regardless of your ingame settings

I think you can leave it untouched. I've left a camp untouched for about 2 weeks and everything was just as I left it, several tents, barrels and protector cases on the ground too. Edit: hmmm 7 days is the limit? That's odd, I'm sure I left stuff longer. Does opening the tent/looking at the contents but not moving anything count as interaction?

Dangit I was late to the party :lol: That was a fun day though

Hi Brian, thanks for taking the time to answer questions. A few months ago you guys had set up a test server for a day that had some extreme weather conditions. Maybe you were testing some other stuff but the weather was the most obvious difference. Torrential rains and low visibility, that sort of thing. Those conditions made it hard to stay together as a group. Even though we knew where we were, we couldn't see landmarks and frequently referred to our compasses to navigate. A few times we lost our bearings, spun around or someone got 100 yards out and we had to stop and regroup. While this might not be to everyone's taste we had a great time with it. I'm guessing we won't see any harsh weather like this again until the new renderer is in and stabilized but I do have a few questions about the future of weather. 1) Is harsh weather something we can expect a lot of in the future? 2) Will there be more extreme variations in temperature? Night/day, summer/winter, maybe even climate? 3) When servers start getting more options is weather something that can be a server side setting? Or will this be globally managed somehow? 4) Can we get an external thermometer to check the server temperature? Either as an item (like the regular thermometer) or maybe as a static object attached to some building?

If it's the blue-ish background on the loading screen iirc it was attributed to steam launch parameter -skipintro or -nosplash Try removing those. If you're using -winxp option definitely remove that one, it caused some issues too. Actually you might have better luck removing all of your launch parameters and starting from default, devs said that most of them were outdated.

Barrels are supposed to last 45 days. If it's a private server it's possible that the server admin reset persistence. If it's public I suppose it's also possible that the server wasn't connecting to the hive properly Check this thread for more info about persistent items https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/229507-qs-about-storage-items/

The hotbar's semi transparent and can be hard to see sometimes if it's empty. Try the tilde key ~

1. They are supposed to last 45 days, I can confirm that both protector cases and ammo boxes last at least two weeks 2. I've heard a few people mention that barrels are harder to find as weeks go by. I'm not sure though. [edit: maybe there's a limit to the number of barrels in use per server?] Tents still spawn regularly in the small tenement buildings. 3. Official servers are all persistent enabled and have (mostly) reliable persistence because there's no admins restarting for their own reasons. I don't think there's a way right now to tell other than testing it yourself. Drop a persistent item and come back after a server restart, see if it's still there. 4. Of course they have to be empty before you can pack them, but sometimes there's an item at the bottom line of slots that may not show you an icon, it's usually grayed a little though. There's also a container bug where a slot may look empty but still have an invisible item in them. It might take a while but you can locate the glitched slot/invisible item by moving a single item around into each tent slot. Eventually you'll notice which slot won't accept an item. Maybe you can figure a way to swap the item out of there, maybe dragging it into your hands or dragging it onto the ground, then pack the tent (?)

it's at the southeast corner of the perimeter fence, not far from the prison building

There were three small underground bunkers surrounding the northern military base east of Kamensk. Two you could climb down into via ladders and the other had a grate blocking it. iirc it was a few patches ago that they buried two but left one with the grate. I have no idea how that guy got in there, maybe the grate moved? desync? logging in on top of it? Just add it to the list of random things that can kill you in DayZ :P

A few other things you can try if you are out of ideas, the following will set some variables back to default A) Steam In steam library, go to dayz, right click properties, 'set launch options' and remove any options in there (reinstalling dayz does not reset steam launch parameters) B ) DayZ If you've made any changes to your config you can reset it to default exit Dayz go to C:\Users\(Username)\Documents\DayZ\ rename Dayz.cfg to DayZ_Backup.cfg then restart the game, it'll create a new default dayz config, then you'll have to readjust your video settings in game C) Nvidia Go to windows control panel, then nvidia control panel, then Manage 3D settings Under Global Settings, set preferred processor to "auto select" and click 'restore' on the bottom (Disclaimer: This may effect your other game profiles) Under Program Settings, find dayz, locate "select the preferred graphics processor " and choose "Use Global Setting (Auto-Select: nvidia GPU) good luck

I don't know the first thing about coding but generally speaking: Each article of clothing has the properties Absorption, Insulation, Biological, Ballistic, Bleed (and other stuff like size, weight, slots/capacity etc) And the devs have made adjustments in the past, Gorka Jacket for example was 0% absorption (waterproof) a few patches ago, then it went to 20% iirc, and now it's 5%. It seems that they can tune it at will (with each new patch/update). The properties are in the game files, client side, so I don't think they can adjust it "on the fly" like the CLE.

Welcome Survivor! See them before they see you!

Yeah I should have clarified, by damp status I meant that gorka does absorb water.
