tried 0.62.140267. No change.

When I verify file integrity I get a ' 1 file failed to validate and will be reaquired' message. Anyone else have this?

I think that's the update I'm on. I can't seem to enable head tracking in the settings.

update is 0.62.140099

Head tracking hasn't worked since the last update. Is it my computer or something with the update

Good advice S3V3VN. Even 'older' graphics cards are designed to take load off the CPU. Good advice to push your graphics card and leave the CPU to more mundane tasks. By the way I run an 'older' I7 but this chip overclocks so easily that I still run stable at 4.6 GH.

I am waiting for the bugs to be gone from .60. In the meantime I decided to put up a tent in the middle of the military tents at NWAF to see if it would protect me from the infected. Aside from the fact that the KOS crowd would almost certainly ruin this endevoir it was still something I wanted to try. I set the tent up near the existing in-game pup tents by the medical huts. Then I hunted around for infected and spotted a few. I fired a shot and then ran and hid in my tent. It worked. Two or three infected scratched through the outside of the tent but that had no effect on me and I was able to sneak out and shoot them. Then the server rese. I logged back on and went prowling again. I found more military type infected and attracted them by a gunshot. This time my tent was overwhelmed and they seemed to hit from all sides before actually coming in the tent front. My weapon loading seemed glitched. I couldn't seem to find the magazines with bullets---panic maybe---and I was soon bleeding profusely and then unconscious. I awoke and scrambled to one of the sandbagged outposts only to pass out again---and then die. Conclusion---tents aren't real protection in the game or in real life.

No zombies. Anywhere. No players as a result.

Thanks Pilgrim. After the move to stable I can exit the game somewhat normally. I do get an error message about executing an instruction or something or other. This again is an alpha thing so no big concern.

Hey Pilgrim, No problem my friend. I totally agree with you on MS and then totally disagree if you can understand that.

I agree about Windows 7 but decided to make the leap anyway and have been presently surprised by Windows 10. I don't think the issues I'm having with DayZ are the fault of the OS.

No. I've never had that error on re-logging. Just find it odd that good old 'ctrl-alt-delete' doesn't function. It had to be the first line of code Gates ever wrote.

When comes the time for me to exit the game, providing some KOS goof hasn't exited me first, I hit exit and then get the black DayZ screen and then...I look at that screen for minutes. I eventually have to use task master to close DayZ. Otherwise the game as it is runs fine.

I agree with the OP. I've played 8-10 hours in the last couple of days and have found zero food and have starved to death 3 times. It is a challenge trying not to starve to death but that does gets old quick.I think I'm now on my fourth starvation death but logged off due to boredom and knowing the inevitable. If I even thought there could be a can of beans around the next corner I would keep on going but on this update I know there isn't. So on the coast I do the apple picking thing and check 5 or 6 trees to get one apple. I look at the orchard size and calculate the odds and decide that foraging for apples as a viable way of sustaining myself is out of the question. I head inland as soon as I get my bearings but still find no food. I find other things, enough to keep me from freezing or dying of thirst...but no food. I've always liked this game and I like where it's going. I understand the 'alpha' thing and am not a new player so s/can the newbie advice. I will still play and will wait for .56 but the OP has a valid point.
