clickbait :D

Disagree, DayZ is actually one of the finest survival shooters due to its realism, so i don't see why you should not view it as a "shooter", well but we still have Escape from Tarkov which is also pretty decent, but unpopular for some reason, seems like ppl hates realistic games nowadays. Here's my opinion and that's actually the best idea also the same reason why PUBG is so popular, atleast 40% is playing only for money. Talking about the microtransactions there could be official servers where these items apply and custom/private servers for ppl who hate "pay 2 win" so these items would be unavailabe there.. profit. Even im pretty big DayZ fanboy and slightly against microtransactions, sometimes i hate the running and looting and have not much desire to play ( last played on 3 Aug ) i would really love to invest in some DayZ items and use them right on the spawn and have some fun immediately.

That hardware is Ancient, even if that supported DX11 it would be pretty much unplayable. I doubt you can even run dayz mod, so i have no clue what you're talking by saying "I don't have the worlds best computer but it ran DayZ", unless it was CPU intensive back then. I remember when i had GeForce 9500GT which is faster than ur card by 300% and it barely ran Arma 2 so totally no chance for Enfusion Engine.

Once i was banned for using Facebook instead of Twitter.

So today i turned on DayZ Exp after some time and noticed it's very dark at clear sky midday. Not sure if its my monitor has to do with it, but i highly doubt, im using calibrated IPS monitor. Also yes i can increase the brightness in the settings, but it does not have that great effect compared to what engine side lighting modification could do. For example Arma 3 has awesome balance in brightness and contrast, why not copy similiar settings from there? Here i made some comparison how it should look ( these After pics should be bit brighter, damn adobe colorspace ). BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER

I've set the graphics on Max doing these screens, the sun was like above my head ( ~1-3PM ? ) and it was not overcast, just a bit cloudy. Even if that's like you say, the game is never bright enough on it's Default Gamma/Contrast. On another hand nights look brilliant and extremely realistic. Also i have the same "Brightness" issue in Witcher 3, game feels very dark even on the brightest gamma, meanwhile CS:GO for example is bit too bright, but it's fine. Maybe it's just me, not sure cause i've never noticed it before ~half year ago, maybe after long CGI work my perception changed or something :D

Yeah i hate bloom, it makes games look shiity af, but sometimes slight bloom makes it better :D The point is that some of the settings wont affect the looks that much, for example AO and Post processing eats probably more than shadows, but turning them off doesn't make huge loss in quality overall, i've noticed that in most games Normal object detail + Normal Shadows + High Textures + some AA makes it look the best and saves most fps.

If GPU can handle - why not ? Also i've heard that Arma 3 uses low shadows on CPU and if you increase above normal it switches to GPU usage. So maybe dayz acts in similiar way. Also i didn't noticed much difference between Off and High even in elektro. But you're right, in some games shadows eats alot.

AntiAliasing- Low/Normal or even Off ( 1050 is pretty weak card, not sure how it would perform ) Clouds - Disabled Postprocessing - Disabled ( slight advantage ) Ambient occlusion - Disabled Textures - High Object Detail - Normal Terrain - Very Low ( slight advantage ) Shadows - High Rest High/Normal. But i would recommend you doing like Gobbokirk said, set everything to lowest and increase some stuff and test if it hits hard on performance, if not - keep it increased, then move on on another setting. Object Detail will have huge fps impact in cities.

Hey guys, is there some fix for Shadowplay dark recordings ? I've tried the two popular ones: 1) Alt+Tab - doesn't work, basically puts me into windowed mode and i need to alt+tab again to get back in fullscreen. 2) Switch resolution - doesn't work cause i don't have any other resolution as option ( only 2560x1080 and Windowed ). 3) Color Correction - Works, but it destroys the quality/colors ( i am moviemaker/cg artist myself so i know what i am doing ). Any ideas how to add alternative resolution or is there a new way ?

Title explains everything, this dynamic event could add some more immersion and realism, the dead soldier could be anyone, like a guy survived heli crash and died on his path or whatever comes to mind. Ofcourse that should include loot such as compass and weapon ready to use, could be w/o or with ammo.

Wait, the PlayerUnknown made PUBG mod in Arma 3 first right ? And then decided to make his own game, basically copying Arma 3 as much as he can. Viewing from another perspective PUBG is actually Arma/DayZ "wannabe" the gamemode is different, but that's it, remove the circle add respawn button and you will have shitty version of DayZ w/o zombies pretty much like WarZ if someone still remembers that game ( well they plan to add zombies ), now add that circle in DayZ SA and h1z1/pubg will get destroyed instantly, actually devs could make free to play Battle Royale w/ microtransactions using DayZ files and engine, should not be too hard, just like removing animals, removing health status, resize the map, adding salines so u can fill blood to urself and thats it would be the only battle royale game i would play and everyone would see who's the king in making games like this.

Never heard about this youtuber lmao, he plays PUBG and says DayZ is bad, that's just retarded.

Many people probably just hate the game on purpose even deep inside they know it's a fkn best game ever. Well from what i've seen on youtube comments, other people opinions etc, it's because DayZ Team blocks ppl on twitter for every single bad opinion, also that they sold like 2million+ copies and didn't managed to finish the game in 4+ years and because overall the progress is very slow. ^ Old, but should explain the situation :D

You have no idea what you're talking about. Ryzen just dominated Intel especially in calculation tasks, Intel costs like twice for twice less performance in calculation tasks e.g. Rendering. For gaming comparison Watch this Some more bench: Ryzen 5 1600 - $ 209 ( 3D Rendering @ 3.2Ghz - 1150 Score ) Intel i7-7700K - $ 308 ( 3D Rendering @ 5.0Ghz - 1047 Score ) Now lets take equal price CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - $ 290 3D Rendering @ 4.9Ghz - 2030 Score. For more comparison my i5-2320 hits around 399score, these scores are based on Cinebench R15. If you don't know how these scores translate into real world, basically R7 1700 is around 2x faster for editing tasks than i7-7700K, but for gaming its pretty much same, Ryzen seems to perform better in newer games, also considering that almost every 4th gamer also edits videos ryzen is currently clearly a winner. But yea Intel has more powerful CPU's such as Xeons, i9, but thats another topic, they cost over $1000.

147$ OFF, but probs you can find some parts cheaper, also choose case on ur own, just make sure it will have good airflow and parts will fit. In case switch to GTX 1070 and invest more on case/cooling. Otherwise you can pick Ryzen 5 CPU instead of this one and u should fit into ur budget, should not make much difference in gaming, but not sure about DayZ. Don't go for Intel CPU, nowadays Intel is crap.

I know it's Early Access and there's most work in the "background" not seen for us and we could not even seen DayZ SA even this day if it was in "Normal" production, but i still want to share my opinion, especially when for most people current dayz state is "Dying". Am i the only who has the feeling that DayZ dev team is very small like up to 10 ppl ( in order to share better cut from the earned millions ) and overall lazy e.g. partying etc. Well devs did a great job these days, optimized the game alot, lots of bug fixes, some major updates.. But as i remember they said something like ".62 will be only visual update and .63 will come out almost at the same time" but now they're fixing the same crash related bugs like all the time before and there's literally no progress on the game content, animations, visuals etc. What dev team did last 3 or 4 weeks is placed few houses + small fixes ( how long it normally takes for like 3 ppl ? 1-2days ? ). I would suggest to work harder on the game content, modding engine that ppl extremely waits, f**k the bugs and glitches, the game pretty much has no issues and when all the content side, animation works etc is final, then bug fixing could begin. Because now they will add RPG, Helicopters and later what ? Will be fixing RPG / Heli related bugs for a month or two delaying the overall game progress ? Better finish the game asset-wise and then slowly wipe the bugs. Literally every game on final version has bugs and similiar sh*t, but people still plays, so i would say "More buged DayZ w/ full content > Bugless .62 DayZ".

Heli crashes like 5mins ago and he already eaten in open field for example ? He possibly could have killed all the zombies on his path thats why u would find a weapon with low or no ammo and himself would be dead from bleed out or some other condition. Remember that these crash sites is "Dynamic" also with smoke which means they crashed recently.

1. More Loot Disagree, the loot amount is pretty ok and realistic imo, just lacks randomization, if you find AKM and Mosin, then probs you wont see anything else on that server. Slight loot increase would not hurt especially on the civilian stuff and various tools. Oh and crash sites should have way more loot ( atleast 2 ready to use rifles, basically what real military heli would have in it during apocalypse ). 2. Remove Durability ..Or increase the lifespan. 3. Higher Players Count Agree 4. Vehicle Building Agree 5. No Base Building Agree, i don't see the point of base building in DayZ, it simply would make dayz look like shit, ( full sky high towers etc. ) maybe only some fences to occupy a town for example ( as reference to TWD's Governor town ). 6. Gun Jam I'd prefer to keep it, just make it easier/faster to unjam. 7. PUBG MAG/AMMO Wut? If you mean more extended mags as additional mags to find, i agree. Btw, PUBG has bit unrealistic ammo in their game, for VSS they use std 9mm, wtf :D 8. Make the game... Wut? Sounds like "Make DayZ Arcade and unrealistic af just like PUBG or H1Z1"

LMAO, you just described Valve.

Yeah, too bad for most people masterpiece is garbage games such as PUBG or Rust. Hopefully DayZ in final state wont lose its challenges and wont make it any easier. I wish DayZ had much higher playerbase and popularity. Cant even find people to play with, every mate is like "Nah dayz is shit, i play pubg its way more fun", going bit offtopic, but i decided to get pubg too, after playing like for 4hours went back to dayz, basically its cheap dayz clone with a moving devastating circle that prevents you from executing some tactics or placing you in unavoidable coin flip scenario everytime youre in a late game also the graphics looks like 5-10 years old, even they're using engine thats capable for way better performance and looks.

Well, maybe i posted a bit of trash, but still dayz development is way slower than it would be if they worked like on any of their main games. Arma 3 for example is working fine, almost none bugs, maybe equally complex compared to DayZ and it took like 2years to make it to final version ( maybe because they used A2 as project base and didnt made such big changes on the engine, not sure ), but dayz didn't reached Beta in like 5years. You feel how low priority dayz is for Bohemia? That's why i made a conclusion that DayZ team in Bohemia offices is pretty small compared to other games/projects. Funny fact: Only after 4years they realized that some doors are too small and will work on bigger ones, why not test the average door dimensions while modelling the assets lol :D @Mantasisg Great point, that also could be huge possibility, even that they waiting for a new "trend" genre close to dayz and will strike with full force puting DayZ in the TOP again.

"most of your questions would have been answered." I had no questions, only guesses. "Stopped taking you seriously" Any exact reason ? You think dayz devs has no free time ? Also 10people is enough to develop a similiar game in 5years ( maybe not like Bohemia's due to its complex engine, but somewhat close and probs more on arcadish side ). excluding Voice actors, motion capture actors etc. Game studios, movie studios it's all about business and $$$, not only entertainment.

Random vehicle spawns would be good idea imo, it would be more dynamic so noboy would know where they are and would have to explore the map bit more to find one, some people would find it easier and some not, currently the spawns are fixed and thats the reason all cars getting picked so fast and also destroyed due to glitches and noob drivers. For the despawn it should get gone asap after all parts are ruined and spawn somewhere else, its because nobody probably will use or have the matchbox to destroy the vehicles also players should drive more carefully knowing that it could be ruined forever after an impact.
