    Frames issue

    Hi guys, when .60 first hit exp. I was experiencing very high frames but now I seem to be capped at around 60fps, any thoughts?

    Unlucky Night

    Well, I've just had an interesting session on .60 starting by spawning in right in front of a guy who shot me allowed me to bandage then killed me for the lols. I then respawned right in front of a bambi who killed me for my shirt! Later just before I logged out I found a bear trap, anyone else seen these?

    My first kill

    You won't be lonely if you carry a vintorez in plain sight. It's how I play, avoiding big built up areas and the south coast and exploring the interior. If you want a lot of action go south, young man. The 360 hrs is according to steam.

    A big thank you

    I'd just like to say a big thank you to the guy I met on the way to Electro 5 minutes ago. After exchanging pleasantries I told him I'd just managed to lose my Mp5 and just like that he gave me his! I was flabbergasted, asked if he needed anything and all he wanted was some food so I threw in my hunting knife for good measure and then we went our separate ways. A brief but loveley encounter.

    My first kill

    Hi folks I just made my first kill after 360 hours play and it was pant-soilingly scary. I was exploring the upper floor of a building in a village in god knows where when I heard what sounded like someone on a silenced pistol rampage. I went prone and whipped out my carbine with three rounds and listened for footsteps below. Sure enough the guy(or girl) entered my building and my heart-rate went through the roof. I heard them coming up stairs and as soon as they appeared I opened fire. I missed and they returned fire and missed also and managed to retreat down stairs. Heart thumping I listened intently to their panting down below, then a grenade flew up the stairs and exploded on the landing. I kept quiet waiting for their next move and shortly they peeked, at which time I realised I had only one round in my carbine so switched to fully loaded magnum. In a flash they were up on the landing spraying bullets round and I emptied the magnum in their general direction which was rewarded with a groan and untidy collapse of my target. Phew, I survived and my heart was now slowing to what passes for normal. Sadly, on checking his/her body it was clear my indiscriminate panic spraying of rounds had ruined not only their day but their gear also. When I checked my own gear I found to my amusement that my hunters pants were ruined ( I was wondering what that smell was) so after calming down a bit I got the hell out of Dodge to seek some new pants and more adventures.

    Back to square one

    Hi guys and gals, I got disconnected this morning and when I changed server there was no list available. So I typed in a server remoteley and when I spawned I was back to starter gear, everything gone. Is this normal?

    Surviving hypothermia

    Hi guys and gals, I'm fairly new to DayZ and have gone through a good few characters due to carelessness. Well tonight I managed to get soaked and hypothermic while dossing in my newly found tent. No real idea how to combat hypothermia except get warm and I didn't want to lose all my gear by dying yet again. So I dashed into the nearest building, closed all the doors and spent the next 20 minutes jogging on the spot until miracle of miracles my coondition changed from dying of hypothermia to freezing to cold. My vision cleared and after eating a crapload of apples I became stable and hydrated.....yay me! Just thought I'd share in case it happens to someone else.
