Excellent SR! I'm glad to see all of the progress being made on the forest density/variety - that must be a monumental task!

Hi Adam, First, thanks for taking some questions and for your work making Chernarus what it is! Islands have been mentioned a few times above already, but I'm not thinking along the lines of Utes or even Skalisty/Prison Islands, are there any plans for additional islands? Maybe remote lesser islands with fewer resources?

Phabricator isn't as complicated as it first seems - it's just not intuitive at all for newcomers, many of us had the same problems when we first tried it. They should add text to the icons on the top bar IMO that would solve a lot of the confusion. Once you're familiarized it's not so bad. That said, the most basic approach (not including searching for existing bugs) is this: login to https://feedback.bistudio.com/ using the arrow-in-a-box icon at the top right. Once logged in click the plus + sign which is Create New Task and select New Dayz Bug Report. Then fill out the form (be as detailed as humanly possible) and click send. That's it. It'll be posted on the tracker and the devs will have a look at it. They'll tell you if it's an already known issue, if it's already scheduled for a fix or they even might ask for more detailed info on how to reproduce it, etc. Good luck.

Love it! That and the environmental sound revamp should make it feel like a whole new Chernarus!

It could have been another player or you might have escaped their detection. I've escaped packs after hearing the howls a few times. As soon as I hear the howls I stop and hightail in the opposite direction that I had approached, a 180. I'm not 100% sure if line-of-sight has anything to do with their detection but I think it does. I try to use hills, trees and bushes as cover just as I would do trying to avoid a pack of players, then after a few minutes I hunker down somewhere out of sight.

Yes on both counts. I've never gotten sick from stream/pond water when I had a healthy status and I drink directly from ponds very frequently (when healthy). I have gotten sick a few times only after taking damage and/or blood loss and then drinking from a pond before getting healthy. I've never gotten sick from pond water after using purification tabs, I might be going out on a limb here but in my own experience purification tabs work %100 of the time. And good advice from yazar8 if you have camp then keep a gasoline canister. One purification tab will purify all 20 liters.

I used this a few times in previous builds and just attempted it on x64. It doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Well done Tatanko - this will make an excellent reference! A question regarding body temperature: Does keeping warm items in your inventory (recently cooked meat, a warm cookpot, etc) contribute towards raising your body temp and/or wet status?

@goateswyn that's all debug plains out there, there's no end. You got pretty far if you drove 1.5 hours. Welcome to the debug explorer club, some of us enjoy doing this occasionally. I'm not sure why, probably a combination of boredom and desire to explore the uncharted nothingness. Before vehicles were in I ran about 9 hours north/east along the coast, spammed a gasoline can and planted pumpkins to stay alive. We used to do regular excursions to debug island too, on some patches it's possible and sometimes it's not. It's very dependent on the current calorie, thirst & hypothermia settings. Here, you'll probably enjoy this video from @Weyland Yutani (DayZ)

Remove all of them, the game doesn't support those launch parameters anymore. That should fix it but report back if it doesn't.

I've seen them a few times too. I forget exactly where I saw this one but I think it was out somewhere near Zaprudnoe and Polesovo. I investigated the origin area but couldn't find anything odd at all.

Hey Riddler, thanks for your generosity and keeping it going this long!

They definitely changed the way handheld optics equip. Try using space bar to raise your optics up, then right-click to use.

It is possible that it's not actually an official Experimental server. Someone may have named their stable server DayZ AUS 0-8 (Experimental/Unstable). Sort of like naming a perfectly good server Do not join - your character will be wiped! People actually do things like this, sometimes to get traffic but usually to keep their public server as empty as possible.

Weird. If you hold the Windows key and press R, the run box should come up. Type in cmd, and press enter It should automatically bring you to C:\Users\[username] Now just type into the console: cd appdata (and press enter) Does it show you the new path C:\Users\[username]\AppData - or does it say "The system cannot find the path"

When I logged back in I was in Tisy and had a run through the base before anyone got there. I can confirm about 4 m4's, two AK101's, an SVD and an AKM as well as the usual abundance of M4 mags and ammo. I met up with BioHaze and we took out a bunch of infected and wolves. That sawed off boomstick really does the job, I haven't tried it, but damn, it's super effective! One wolf in particular, the last of the pack was still alive as Bio was bandaging. He was no more than 100 meters away and aggro'd on something else. Bio bandaged up and I kept my gun trained on him before we had a closer look. No zed and no zed body, but he was running in circles and clearly aggro'd in that immediate area. Thurman showed up in a V3S and started accumulating some barrels and tents as he no doubt has plans to build his own well-organized tent city as he does every patch :-)

Joined: 5 hours ago Welcome to the forums new guy. Seems like you're starting off on the right foot! Wow that's odd. Do you have a C:\Users\ path at all? What OS are you using?

You mentioned discord. I've never installed it but it may install with a service, not just an application (which means traces of it could still be running even though you think it's off). Try uninstalling it, not just turning it off. Also, do you have any other comm software running that might be picking up on your mic (even if you think it's off)? (razer, mumble, skype, ts) Make sure to kill those processes while testing your mic issue. Maybe your DayZ voice key-bind is also bound to another application (or an automatic voice pick-up) might be messing things up. GL

I logged in just to like this post. Now back to my previously scheduled lurking. edit: from over a year ago ... time warp

That's it! Yours is much louder than mine though, it almost sounds like a nearby bullet whizz at that volume. Have you had it happen when you first start playing, or only after long sessions? Because it occurred to me that it might be a delayed sound, like a desync'd rag tear or bandaging from earlier. And since I seem to be the only other player who is hearing this - I also wonder if I would've heard "your" sound if I was standing next to you in the video...? I'll make some notes on that the next time I hear it and report back.

An offline mode cannot contribute to network and server testing for synchronization/optimization, which is actually one of the main things they are working on now (read the OP). I agree that it would be an important feature for mod testing and for people with bad internet but I don't see how it would help them now by releasing it during the alpha stage. imho there would be conflicting reports all over the place. That said, I would like to see SP mode before they start working on packaging and dvd art! Back on topic, I'm back to 50+ fps while driving the V3S, for a while there my FPS was in the single digits +1 Turbo button works again. I crashed up two V3S's (for science). The first I found at Altar and drove it to NWAF where it got stuck on a stump. I managed to floor it in reverse and it dislodged. It was busted up pretty good but it still drove so I went for a turbo loop around the airfield and then off to Lopatino where I found another cargo in good shape. So I took that one and beat on it too :) Drove out towards Sinistok where desync sent me into a tree at about 50 kph, but this one kept going too. After the crashes, the doors were still visible on both trucks, but the option to open/close them was gone. Just "get in" and "get out". I didn't think to try to remove the broken panels but if I get on later tonight I'll give it a try.

SP mode is going to be a necessity for modding and a must for people with unreliable internet so it's obviously coming down the pipe at some point. With all of the big changes being made right now (translation: it's alpher) I can't imagine that the devs would divert any resources away from anything that's nonessential. After all of the core components are in the game and somewhat stabilized they'll move from Alpha to Beta and I suspect we'll start hearing a lot about SP and mod tools.

I've randomly heard this sound also during .61. To me it almost sounds like someone opens their in-game mic for a moment then releases it. The first few times I was waiting to hear someone speak but after several times I realized there's something else going on. In the case that it might be system and/or hardware related I'll leave some notes here: System: Windows 8.1 64-bit, Intel i7-4710HQ, Realtek Hi Def Audio, nVidia GTX 860M Soundcard: (laptop internal) Realtek Hi Def Audio. Windows Settings: 2 channel, 16 bit @ 48000 Hz Speakers: (laptop internal, not default) Realtek Hi Def Audio. Windows Settings: 24 bit @ 48000 Hz Headphones (default speakers) : Logitech G430 Gaming Headset (USB) Settings: 16 bit @ 48000 Hz Also, in Device Manager under Sound, there are two more things -Intel (R) Display Audio -nVidia Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) WDM

I haven't seen many memory crashes these last few patches (I always play 64-bit) but if you're doing a bit of a poll, here's mine: 8 GB of DDR3 and 2 GB of nvidia GDDR5. Page File is about 5GB managed by Windows.
