Hmm. My "3d_Performance" parameter is set to 93750, I wonder if the blue screen corrupted your DayZ.cfg? Maybe try opening your DayZ.cfg and pasting in the line: 3D_Performance=93750; at least give it some entry so it's not blank ... ? edit: (or find out what the default is, I don't know if 93750 is default or if I changed it at some point)

Yes, this morning they've been doing a lot of work under the hood, mysterious software tune-ups & oil changes.

Loot is scarce out there Gents. Let's enjoy the struggle before they "fix" it :P

Servers are up

Yeah I had the full improvised kit a few updates back but I've already forgotten how to do much of it. Gotta adapt to survive :P

I made a knife at spawn, haven't made the stick yet but good thinking. If I can melee some wildlife I think I might be able to make a bow with the guts

Not a single piece of loot in Svetlo, I'm hoarding apples, bareknuckle boxing zeds and running like Usain Bolt. They won't take me alive!

Yes I've been playing that server but it wasn't my fire. I did see another guy up there checking the deer stands probably for that elusive scope, but I left him to his business.

Zeds confirmed up north, I spotted one in the industrial yard between Stary Yar and Krasnoe.

I believe the gentleman's name is Senchi. There's some great new ponds, rivers, piers, ramps and bridges up in the north. Some are even remote enough for very scenic campsites

I've tried. I've geared up with nothing but a compass, binoculars, pumpkin seeds and PET bottles, a shovel on my back. A one-way suicide run north off the map for hours per day, I was hoping to find an easter egg oasis somewhere out there but had no luck. What I did find was boredom, lots of it. It's a good thing there wasnt a suicide option back then, I may have tried it.. Then when I found my first V3S I thought I would try it again, I may have been the first bonehead to drive immediately to the maps edge and fall through the floor. :P

I've found that if you drop your shirt/pants/backpack and pick it back up again that everything is visible again. I've lost a few things when dropping them indoors, so I've been doing my drop/pickup outside on flat ground. I wait until I find a road or a path then do it there, it seems to work fine.

2015 Q2 Advanced animals (life cycle, group behavior) 2015 Q3 Animal predators and birds I'd like to see some bears, wolf packs, snakes and bees, so even the deep woods have their dangers. And maybe I'm just dreaming here but there being way to raise a wolf pup or feed one until it becomes a companion animal would also be great. Maybe it would alert you to other natural dangers and carry a thing or two with a craftable wolf vest - or have some other minor advantage making it worthwhile of your risk, effort and time.

I got that one too first time I logged on. and two others so far: Cannot load material file: dz\plants2\tree\t_picca3f.p3d and dz\characters\tops\data\medical_scrubs_shirt.rvmat edit:path typo

I'm still at 0.56.127675 and I tried connecting to it, but I got rejected :emptycan: with 'bad version'. I guess we will have to wait for the client update . edit: 180.2 MB!

It's absolutely game-breaking that twinkies are not in the game yet.

I wouldn't mind if they made the barrels common right now so we can tinker with the new mechanics :thumbsup: In other news, I've had a few errors this build, no ctd's but some "cannot open material file [continue]" errors (about 10x) dz\plants\bush\b_fagussylvatica.1f.p3d (twice) dz\gear\containers\barrel_yellow.rvmat (once) dz\gear\tools\data\hand_drill_kit.rvmat

Hello cannibal, you seem to be missing a cookpot. Add your cookpot to the fireplace (but not into the fire/fuel slots, as it will get burnt). Then add your steaks to the cookpot. Cook and enjoy your longpig.

Well, server ate my two tents and a few drybags, one was full of scopes hehe, oh well. Fortunately there's more civ tents spawning, time to start restocking my goods and get some farming gear back!

I regret not getting a screenshot of the error with the full path (dz\items\objects\...or whatever) but I had a zed hot on my trail and I derped and just closed it, it definitely had "yellowbarrel" in the string though.

I got an error when I encountered a barrel in Stary Yar a few days ago, similar to the "cant open object b_fagussylvatica error, click [continue]", except it was "yellowbarrel_something_something". I couldn't see any barrel nearby but I suppose the server did try to spawn one. edit: Happened again, this time by the northern convoy, grid ref: 066/000 Cannot load material file "dz\gear\containers\barrel_yellow".rvmat.

client looks like it'll be 0.56.127675. Just waiting for servers to appear

I've got this one a few times too. Also one referring to 'yellowbarrel' when approaching a house in Stary Yar, but I didnt get a screenshot.

Beautiful screenshots, I did notice some additions to the south side of Tisy also edit: oh and pond with a pier by the western Sinistok homestead too

I had a very enjoyable first run last night. I spawned near Elektro and in my travelling inland north found an SVD, 2 M65 jackets, an Autumn Hunting Jacket, some can openers and a bootknife. Not much food though. I almost starved to death by the time I got to Gorka. I knew starvation and my end was near when I saw a cow in the distance. A very delicious looking cow. Not having any ammo for the SVD, I had to chase him around with an axe for a while but I managed to take him down. Before I knew it I had eaten one whole raw cow for lunch. I then had that "funny taste in my mouth" and hoped a charcoal tab would do the trick - and thank you DayZ gods - I was full and good as new! A few minutes later at the Gorka police station I found loot galore. Several MP5s and various attachments, I assembled a pristine one, grabbed as many mags as I could hold and pitched a tent deep in the woods full of some extras. And that was my night, when I returned in the morning the tent was gone. I think the server ate it because I had some low-value junk like fuel canisters in there too that was nowhere to be found. No matter, I'm *finally* at full health and off to visit that rumored new town south of Stary Yar. Keeping the food and natural resources scarce makes you take some necessary risks, like eating raw meat.. or drinking from a pond, I think this is as the game should be. A very fun first play-through for me. Being on the brink of death with little hope, then a moment later having a great stroke of luck is what will keep me coming back to this game.
