I can think of two quick things to try, which shouldn't take you more than a few minutes. 1) First make sure your default audio device is set correctly, and try using 24-bit audio, to do this: right-click your volume icon down by the clock, select Playback devices, select your speakers/headphones (not hdmi or something that might have switched over automatically when plugging in a cable) set the speakers/headphones to default, click apply, and then click properties. now go over to the advanced tab and try setting it to 24-bit (48000 Hz) and put checks in both boxes of exclusive mode (if available), then click apply, then OK. close out of all that and load up dayz and see if the sound works. 2) DirectX get to a command prompt (or hold the windows key and press R) and type in dxdiag and click OK, it'll run automatically and it shouldn't take very long, it might even finish before you even know it started right there in the system tab just make sure that DirectX 11 is listed as the version (towards the bottom) now go over to the sound tab and check the notes section (also towards the bottom) if you're seeing anything other than No problems found then you probably have some dx audio issue

I've read that battleye was blocking some reshade files, so battleye was restricting some aspect of the program but it refrained from banning simply for having the software installed. If Just Caused says he's been using it for a year now then it must be legit. However I'd hate to see anyone here get banned because battleye decided to change it's mind at some undetermined point in the future. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't help but think there's risk in there somewhere.

No I'm fine but thank you for asking. Can I interest you in any cheese?

That's a dramatic font.

I was stubbling around looking for Luc's mustache, I was going to shave it for later. ::groan::

Sometime during beta is the official word right now. Besides the devs have been debugging the server all month so there's that many fewer bugs. If they release it today they'll be inundated with devs fix your stupid server - it's buggy as hell! threads. I say let them finish up.

I was under the impression that -dologs simply creates a crash dump upon a client crash, so it can be attached if/when reported to the feedback tracker. In other words, if you didn't crash then it isn't do anything. If there's more to it I'd be interested to know as well.

If you're referring to today's stress test update it's mostly fixes for crashes and memory leaks, I played a bit today and didn't notice any obvious changes. Possibly some minor loot distribution changes (but I can't verify that as it might also just be bad luck...) but I didn't see any new items as compared to last build.

We all know we're playing an incomplete game at the moment, so it's a bit early to get all worked up over the subject but Devs have the task of trying to acheive some balance for the final release - and that's still a long ways off. I'm hoping they add some mechanisms that favor player cooperation, ones that might pass the KOS cost-benefit analysis and offer significant rewards for cooperation. Because not KOS'ing needs to have a substantial benefit or it will remain a preferred choice. imho any sort of 'punishment' for KOS would be a mistake but there should be potential advantages if you take the greater risk of approaching other players and offering or accepting cooperation. Players want appealing alternatives that primarily favor their own survival or progress but there really aren't any tangible advantages to trusting strangers in the game yet. It's the devs job build those mechanisms and various choices into the game. It's a game after all (and an incomplete one) and since no one's going to tell us how to enjoy our own time gaming - it's really got to be built-in.

You might have a corrupt download cache, give this a try https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3134-TIAL-4638 edit: also while you're in the download settings try changing your Download Region to a different nearby city.

Certain servers sent me into a queue that seems to stop at "1" and not continue. I had connection failed a few times but low pop servers seemed to connect with no problem. So maybe there's something with the queue or full servers. Restarting steam seemed to help on two occasions, though maybe that was just dumb luck - I can't say. edit: Also something else I noticed: that weird bug again where players who are not in my Steam Friends list seem to show up when I select the Friends Playing checkbox in the server browser. If one friend is on the server then a whole bunch of random names show up too.

One thing to keep in mind is that the game is still very processor heavy. Devs have stated that the intention is for the game to rely more on the video card and less on the cpu to achieve a better balance between resources. (How they go about that or if they've even begun that client optimization process I have no idea). With that forecast in mind it's wise to spend the extra bucks on a 10 series GTX. I think your rig should do fine on higher settings presently and also see improvements through future iterations. Edit / Afterthought: It's been a while since I built pc's so take this with a grain of salt: consider your mainboard specs and make sure it's compatible with an upgraded processor. As hardware prices eventually drop, you might be able pick up a cheap i7 for an easy upgrade. So you'll want to confirm that your mainboard will be OK with that.

The devs have already said that skillsets won't have advantages or disadvantages to combat. I'm glad they still see things that way, and I'm eager to see what comes of the skills, how they will be categorized and if/how they will be linked. As for now, I don't like the first iteration of that sliding-scale between repair and building. How are those two arbitrary skills diametrically opposed? ^ This, I think if the progression is visible then it lends itself to semi-grinding. If we see that we have only a tiny bit left to go I'm going to stop my hike from Zeleno to Myshinko and start cutting branches that I don't need to or start patching worn clothes - because advancement! imo seeing progression would be an immersion breaker. I like that particular point as well, but not as a sacrifice to another skill. Being a good car mechanic doesn't make you a bad gardener (it doesn't make you a good gardener either) I think all skills should be completely unrelated. Our base skills when spawning should be terrible too, imo we're blank skill-less slates when we wash up on shore, for a new experience every time. I know it's only the first iteration, so I'm just happy to see it in the build to begin with. I'm curious to see how it gets adjusted over the next few weeks.

It's a Windows error, not specific to DayZ. If you're running Windows 10 then the "Creators Update" (1709) may have mucked things up, have a look here: Obviously, you're going to follow the same instructions for your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DayZ\DayZ_x64.exe file If you don't want to watch the whole video, browse to DayZ, right click that file, click properties, go to the Compatibility tab and put a check mark next to "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations". Click Apply then OK and load 'er up. GL

Can't wait to see what a car battery can do!

Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements and make sure you're running DX11 https://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/DayZ/ (scroll down to see the system requirements) You can also delete the files that DayZ does not automatically delete when reinstalling. Shut down Dayz and Steam and go to: C:\Users\(username)\Documents\DayZ (just right-click and delete the whole DayZ folder) C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\DayZ (go into this folder and delete everything but the BattlEye folder) DayZ will create new/default files when you relaunch it Load up Steam and DayZ and give it a try. ps: the stress test is over now, you might only get DayZ to work in offline mode now... HTH

T used to switch the firing mode, not sure if it's still bound in .63

Optimistic status report, feels like everything is starting to take shape! Good luck out there Brian, watch your six.

I think so too, I've been eating raw chicken and drinking from ponds in an attempt to get sick - but no joy. Took a swim to prison island and there seems to be no wet status either. Also worth a note: You can carry a backpack while swimming! It's probably a bug though. You enter the water carrying a bag in your hands, the bag disappears. Swim to wherever you are going (there's no bag visible while swimming). When you eventually exit the water, the bag is in your hands again - Tada!

A quick google suggests that you might have a missing or corrupt system file. C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcr100.dll It's part of the Visual C++ package. Several things could help: open a Command Prompt (as Administrator) and run the system file checker by typing in: sfc /scannow let that finish and load up dayz to see if it worked. if it doesn't work try this (someone else tried this for a similar exception processing message error in Rainbow Six forum and it worked for them) Find that C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcr100.dll file on another computer with the same exact Operating System (win 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 and the correct 32 or 64 bit etc..etc..). Rename your own msvcr100.dll to something else like msvcr100_OLD.dll and now copy and paste the file from the other computer onto your own computer. Use a usb drive or something. See if that works. If it doesn't work then restore your old file back by renaming it back to it's original name msvcr100.dll. No harm no foul. Good luck.

I don't think getting reports on every half-tested thing would be helpful. That's time better spent trying to move forward instead of reporting on every bump in the road. This thread alone kind of proves that the Devs are continuing their efforts to be more communicative.

Yeah my bad, It's clearly a cqc item. scope doesn't make sense. Maybe silencer? or DUAL WIELDING!?!

The game has been needing this for a long time! Hopefully there are plans in the future to attach a pistol scope.
