how do i set these startups for dayz? and what is meant with "extthreads"? edit: also: should i only set my max DEDICATED Vram or also the virtual?

siigned!!

signed! i really LOVE where the developement is going, but please take a look at that if you find the time! Also: Please not SO MUCH blood everywhere in the interiors! blood only looks like that red if it is really fresh, after some time it just becomes brown and weathered. so when everywhere is blood, it just looks like in some generic 08/15 horror movie/game. anyways: BIG THANKS FOR WORKING ON THE BEST GAME DEVELOPEMENT EVER TO HAPPEN! keep going YOUR way, amigo! +1

Don't use any maps. Especially not those where all the loot places are marked. Why? Because you will MISS out on a whole lot of fun, that others are having! Getting really lost in the wilderness, gettinng stressed because you become hungry and need to eat, and it's slowly getting dark too... then, in the distance, you spot a farm. Halleluja! Getting to know the hills and valleys around your campside by exploring them, mastering the landscape, becoming the hunter of these forests, it's hidden ruler... Have the blast of your gaming lifetime by not knowing what's happening next. You will never experience things like that if you use maps;) So don't spoil it yourself, and have the best gamingexperience of your life!

that's what differs this game from cod. and no, it's not just a game.

up this because of an actual debate. maybe this shouldn't be in the newbie section, because also for pro's, or maybe especially for pro's it is more fun without maps.

BUY IT. really. I am playing video games since back in the 90ies on my amiga 500. I know my stuff about video games. And this here, my friend, is one of the fekking best games EVER. And it's not a game. It's something else. And when DayZ Standalone comes out, buy that also. this may happen in half a year or so. It doesnt matter. Because: until then you will have had the most awesome gaming experiences EVER. worth every fukkin second of it. BTW.: For Install, just download "DayZ Commander", with it you can automatically download+install dayz plus get all updates. everything just with a single click. plus server lists. BTW2.: hackers aint a problem anyore. just use whitelisted servers(you have to register on the servers website to play on them) and you are good.

no dev update. case closed. lock this.

canz i please have an awnser on this???

i asked this questions but didn't get a response yet: i just don't understand one thing: why didn't they just change the names? why remove the (very good) models and art? it's just those 1337 names that've been unnecessary. ??

can somebody pls explain???

great, BUT: The Sky is way too BLUE. Please de-saturate it, a little more white, and brighten it up a little. Also: please not too much of this "blood on piano and floor". It seems as if nearly every floor next to a door has some blood splatter on it.

So, it seems as if Rocket creates some kind of visual "dark, depessing athmosphere" in the standalone version of DayZ. This would mean the sky, the light, the weather, everything looks "depessive" or "spookier", more like a generic horror movie. PLEASE NO!!!!! Creating this kind of "horrormovie effect" just makes DayZ more "game-like". DayZ was something special, because it felt so real, so immersive!!! And that was especially in moments when you passed through a wide open field in beautiful daylight, sunshine, blue sky, flowers beneath your feet. And still it felt real horror, not knowing if there is somebody in that treeline or that house on that hill. Please don't change the feel of the world!!! The SA could be THE best game ever, don't do such radical fundamental feeling-changes, that could destoy EVERYTHING!!!

Besides that I LOVE what you guys are doing with the SA, i have one urgent plea: Please make the (daylight) skies brighter!! from what i've seen (especially the comparison pic), the skies have become more deeper blue. I think this takes away from that "realism feel" i had with dayz before. First thing you learn as a landscape painter: The sky is mostly the brightest thing in your picture. Another thing is the mentioned "overworking of textures, to make everything look more damaged & used". Please no! This can easily take away from the realism feel, and make it feel more like "post-apocalypitc game" what i liked before was the "feels real" feel. Just my 2 cents. thx for reading.

ah,thx for the q&a thing,really interesting! but i don't agree on making the athmosphere darker and more depressing. after all, it was the realistic enviroment that made dayz feel so special. and then again we have the bad weather situations that offer a good contrast. toning down the general mood would be a really drastic difference to mod dayz. plus: it would feel more like a game. all thos apocalyptic or spooky games feel fun,but not realistic.

Seriously: Situation: Imagine some rare random NPC civilians running around the map. these are people that got hit by the Infection, but didn't turn into zombies. But they got mental issues. madness. brain damage. They don't know who they are, where they are, what they are doing. They are running around aimlessly, in panic mode, sometimes crouching out of pain, sometimes running wild. This explains their AI. Effect: These civilians can be "escorted" by using a new item: handcuffs. only in walking speed. They can be cured of their sickness, by gathering some super rare medical supplies and using them on them. only to be found in super rare military medical supply areas. When cured, they will sit and become a spawnpoint, which can be used to spawn right there in case of death, which will turn the civilian into the players char. So maybe we then will see survivors walking around with some civs walking in chains behind them. i think this would be kinda cool. and it's extreme rarity also doesnt threaten the actual dayz deth=new-life gameplay.

use flares. pick them up. run around holding them. stay on roads & near the beach.

today i sparked a rhhinoplacerus, but then it gave a fly. next! swamsea culprit.

i always find that playing 1stP requires more cohonez thus making me (as a 1stP Player) real manly. only the hard core core hard.
