    Headaches and DayZ

    Thanks. But there is literally no difference when I play other games. Dec 1st I had my annual eye exam and my contact Rx changed just a little. Fresh contacts in but it has been a while since I've needed (more like wanted) to go see a doctor. I played for just over an hour again. Slow build on the pain. Ran into a couple of people and managed to avoid them. At this point it doesn't appear to be any difference between 1pp and 3pp. It is strange how I have nearly 400 hours played and only recently did this start occurring.

    Played another 30 to 40 minutes and I started to feel the tension headache begin. Almost like its toward the base of my skull. Again, its only during DayZ.

    Headaches and DayZ

    I am still at a loss, no change. I still can only play for a couple of hours until I feel the pain setting in. Other games do not do this to me. Curious as to why this was moved to the "Troubleshooting" forums. Worried it won't get enough attention there. Again, I play alone and prefer to play undetected, avoiding contact or a violent interaction. I am never the first to shoot and will be very cautious to those who stumble upon me. Yes, I will have my weapon drawn but if I feel like we are safe enough, I will offer aid and depart quickly.

    Headaches and DayZ

    There are some interesting theories on why this occurs in this game. I do prefer 1PP over 3PP because of the immersion. On 3PP servers I tend to switch to 1PP when entering buildings but then I switch back to 3PP when I exit them. I will test to see of the different perspectives make a difference. Currently I do not have motion blur on and headbob is low but enough to be immersive. I don't get sick from the headbob. Funny thing is, when I get the headache and I walk away from the game for a while and have to deal with it, getting back on DayZ seems to relieve some of the pain. What is up with that? Then I get off of the game and its worse. I do wear contacts. Maybe its the intense focus on detail this game demands. Most of the time I play the hermit style and avoid a lot of people. Rarely do I end up in a gun fight but the zeds can be stressful enough trying to avoid them. But I am constantly looking over my shoulders and to the horizon for a silhouette... or smoke. My normal FPS is between 30 and 40. I can play Battlefield or Elite Dangerous for hours yet DayZ is the only game that gives me these headaches. If I find something new, I will report back.

    Headaches and DayZ

    Has anyone else experienced a tension headache while playing DayZ? I get them after a couple of hours and sometimes they don't go away for days. Once they are gone and I try again. I get another headache. Do you think it could do with the refresh rate or vSync? Thoughts? I play other games with the same headset and I don't have a problem. Only in Dayz.

    Exp Update: 0.59 (+hotfix).

    Lots of people pretending to off you items for exchange and then shoot you. Servers are so laggy that the sun comes up and then sets again, comes up, sets again. Cant eat, cant drink, cant even vault. "I unable to do that now." Update: Something is definitely up with the dsync. Time keeps rolling back after a few minutes, the night time wind continues to blow during the day. No players on a full server. I probably wont be back until the dsync or lag or whatever it is causing it is removed. Every player is too damn skittish to trust anyone and just rather shoot that new spawn then let them anywhere near them. Last server: DayZ US Northeast 0-1

    I threw a canteen inside a grocery store, the thing bounced like a rubber ball. I got a chuckle out of it. Found out that nearly every item bounces like its made of thin, hard plastic.

    I found this as well and a stack of 9mm. Loaded it and ended up in Cherno. Managed to trail a few zeds with me and turned to fire in rapid succession and it sounded like this gun jammed. Bang bang bang -click- -click- bang bang -click- bang... etc.

    Fixt it. It had to do with one of my config files in my profile. Deleted those and it worked on next launch.

    Anyone else here lose the server list? I see one Experimental server and it appears to be cycling. Other than that, .58 servers aplenty. I have widened my filters to try and catch them but they just aren't there.

    Anyone else finding and tossing tents off of the apartment building roof tops? Other items appear to stick in mid air like they hit a wall while the tents tumble to the ground and either disappear into the ground or deploy and setup on the ground. I found two tents and tossed them down to use them. One of them simply disappeared and the other clipped the side of the building on it's way down and stayed on the ground. When I got to the ground level, that tent had auto deployed and was setup and usable.

    Any additional development news and intent to implement changes to the UI? When mod support is enabled, will this also be changeable based on user created content? - One thing I noticed is a boost to the frame rate when using -newui.

    Ooh I want to know. I am not that familiar with the town names.

    Just curious, has anyone run into a lonely zombie? I ran into one last night. Is this something common?
