This is my single biggest complaint about the standalone. I'm close to redownloading the mod for this reason. I'm not asking for pity or anything. Just facts, or even opinions. Apparently, with this new exp update, the server fps is where the devs want it to be. So, think they'll start adding more infected? This is a deal breaker for me. I love lone wolfing. I love just surviving. I try to avoid other people like the plague. Its just how I play. Without zombies (or respawning loot which is another story altogether but let's just focus on the REASON the game world is the way it is {lore wise}) I end up logging off after running around for five minutes. I don't even care that the zombies suck at the moment. If the devs could just increase the infected count by ~10 times, the game would be much, much better IMO. Right now, fighting in a town carries zero repercussions, aside from the danger of encountering another player. With more infected, people WOULD think twice about firing their AKM (the dinnerbell 2.0) due to being swarmed by the infected. Ammo would become more precious and looting towns wouldn't be so easy. Right now you spawn in, sprint into the nearest town, loot and repeat. With more zombies, the amount of time spent in game would increase as you wouldn't be able to sprint into town, grab everything you need and sprint out. It trivializes the entire experience. Zero infected make dayZ lameZ.

Server admins have already demonstrated (in the mod) that, if given ANY power they try to make the game "easier", "more playable" and "what their community wants" in turn, ruins the overall DayZ experience. If you go back and watch some of Rocket's streams hes more than excited to babble on about the new lights! The "community" hates it and flips the off switch. Who the HELL wants to play DayZ during the day. All. The. Time. Every single one of you server admins are ruining the experience by turning nights off. It loses the reality of it for me, to have the sun in the same place on every facking server. I LOVE playing at dusk. The time crunch to get supplies before dark really adds to the near non-existant atmosphere of the game. (Let's face it, there's entirely too much color and the game is too happy and bright. Also, the server admins, yet again, ruin the experience by making it sunny all the time too - by the way, over 130 hours logged and have yet to see it rain, thanks admins!) Is it that hard to just rent a DayZ server and not screw with it? All the server admins out there complaining about having certain privileges taken away from you need to stop and look around. You did it to yourselves. You're doing it to yourselves. Look at the pathetic excuses for server admins who host servers just to farm loot. Its incredibly pathetic. I'm going to love life when server time is hive controlled and admins cant have passwords, are unable to kick people (because they aren't in your fancy, weak, "guild") and no fucking donor load outs < for god's sake this is even worse than 24/7 day you money grubbing pansies. /endrant tldr; Rocket, the same community that you are making the game for, is ruining your game. Admins should have ZERO privileges over the average user in their server.The only tools in game should be a restart button and maybe an official "this guy is hacking" command/button. Please don't give too much control to the guys. Look what happened to the mod: TDM? I think not, this is muthafackin DayZ you CoD kiddies! /doubleendrant /startquestion Does anyone know of a 1st Person Only, Weather enabled, 24 hour day/night cycle server with an on average of 10+ people online?!?!

@doxholiday if you're going to research me at least research 100% don't pull the info that supports your point and no one elses. I posted that on the mod. Over a year ago. Back when, in the mod, hacking was rampant and playing a full play session on a populated server was impossible due to thunder domes and rabbits spawning crates for everyone. Lrn2notbias. I have zero issue with clans. What I take issue with is the kids who rent servers just to farm loot and more likely than not, its a clan server. I bet dox is under 18. God damn dude. Way to pick and choose what to read. Next time I post something, unless you read everything, don't post. YOU can go now. Anyways, yes I'm mad. I'm sorry Admins don't have the opportunity to control the server as they wish. I was unaware of the inability to set correct start and restart times, etc. You can't blame me for thinking the contrary (that admins were abusing power) I learned that admins abuse power from... guess who? Admins. Why should I think any differently.

I recently purchased an i5 4670k and landed on a stable overclock of 4.4 (Noctua air cooled). I ran DayZ every 200-300 MHz increase while overclocking and stress testing and total I went from 38-39 FPS outside of cities to 39-40 FPS outside of cities. My frames drop to the low 30s in Cherno. My rig is fairly decent I feel and though I'm not unhappy with my FPS it could use some help. I haven't edited an inis yet and would rather not kill my object render distance but maybe that's what it would take. i5 4670k @ 4.4 GHz HD 6950 2GB reference (stock clocks) Kingston 8GB 2x4 @ 1600 Antec HCG 620 watt PSU I'm willing to OC my GPU and have tried a couple times but MSI and CCC conflict together so... brilliantly that it makes it very difficult. I feel I'm going to break something.

My guess would be temps. Grab Coretemp or something like it and watch your cpu temps. Monitoring GPU temps would be a good idea too. Turn your settings down for sure. You may be stressing your system too much. Could use a new cpu and gpu.

Idk man. It looks clunky in the vids but performs flawlessly in practice.

1st person? I'm in.

They usually get a few smacks in before you're able to kill them with a melee. Best I've been able to pull off yet is only taking a single hit before killing the mindless wretch. They are very sparse but I attribute that to server stability - they'll gradually increase the amount until servers become unstable or the zombie pop is solid. A lot of people were complaining about the clunkiness of melee. I think its perfect. It also seems that zed damage is turned way down compared to 1.8. I've been hit a total of 8 or 9 times and I'm still all gravy. Just got my feedback to say my wounds are clean. :)

This happens to me too. Sasquatcho, gotten anywhere? Has anyone gotten anywhere in relation to this issue? I made a video of what happens....

I am by no means a new player I've been playingsince June of last year I'm looking fora small group of people to play with preferrably 18 or older little kid voice is annoying me. PM me on here and I'll get back to you Skype or Ventrilo would be preferred. the game is getting a little boring playing by myself. my favorite servers are first person only and vanilla day. third person is for pussies.

Whats up with www.dayzdb.com/map Showing static, broken down cars and weird houses carrying loot. WHere are these spawns? I run around the house like 6 times and see nothing. What about the static cars... where does their residential loot spawn? pics or locations would be nice. I swept through the changelogs and didnt find anything.

So after about two hours of playing day went AWOL on me. The screen started shaking and my toon was violently spinning around uncontrollably. He was point my m1911 every which way and the screen started artifacting. Grey lines and negative colors. It was disturbing. So I alt tabbed and clicked close game with commander. Commander displayed some long string of errors and was forced to close. I had to alt ctrl del and end arma 2. Skype gave me a stack error and the roof of my house blew off ( not really but that'd be sick eh? ) I'm thinking memory issues but I've no clue. Any thoughts? This isn't a one off thing its happened a couple times before and now that I think about it was one of the reasons I stopped playing dayz a month ago.

Well still experiencing the issue. I emailed bi support and they seem to think its a software conflict... any way I can stress test my HDD and recreate the issue?

did you not see i said around and around the house I went? these a new. its claiming that rubble piles have loot spawns. have you ever found loot in a rubble pile? I know loot spawns in sheds. click on some of the dots and it shows a picture of the building that contains the loot. this is for sure a new thing i kinda just wanted confirmation instead of trolls.

Thanks for reply. I ran lifeguard diagnostics last night and I passed with zero errors. I'm running fur mark right now to see if I can replicate it... I also just ccleaned my registry. It was pretty bad... over 75 errors.

BUMP... I have an open thread, this exact same thing is happening to me and I continue to post to myself. Need assist!!!

I really feel like I'm talking to myself here. im at a complete loss. I've looked at temps, reinstalled old drivers, driversweepered, changed graphical settings etc. It only happens on days which leads me to believe its a software issue. Any feedback would be bean worthy!

No one has any idea? Honestly seems like an issue with my computer more than dayz. is there some kind of dump file I can look at and see whats going wrong when it happens? When I alt tab out and close aroma 2 manually. Day commander crashes, Skype crashes and so does catalyst control center. Temps are not an issue. Please help :(

I remember this use to be an issue a YEAR ago. Then, it was patched so zombies couldn't spawn indoors, or had an extremely low chance to spawn inside. I'm very... angry right now, so I'm going to try as HARD as I can to be respectful about all this. I want to thank the people rolling out new patches but I really believe before tweaking such drastic things they should be cleared with the community first. Not just rolled out how the ones making patches think it should be. Anyways. Zombies are now spawning inside buildings. This wouldn't be an issue if... A) It was rare B) It happened less frequently on the coast C) with 1.7.7 it looks like you tuned zombies to be harder to lose. So basically this most recent patch, along with the one that put zeds inside every fracking building, gimped new players. How am I suppose to loot a building (the small brown long house) with a zombie inside? Lets say i do sneak past him, now I have a zombie on my tail I cant lose. So i run, and gather more zombies, I cant run into buildings because theres MORE FRACKING zombies in them.. See whats happening? Im uninstalling 1.7.7 right now. Dump. Why would spawning zombies inside buildings, and making them harder to lose, and increasing their damage, and giving them a knockdown... sound like a good idea? At some point I'd like to play DayZ without getting my butt infected by a zombie.

I LOVE zombies. I love sneaking and having to watch their patrols. How on earth did you get< "I want zombies taken out of the game" from my post? Are you... nevermind. I just don't want them spawning inside. everything else is fine. Its the collection of all their abilities now that is going to make them a lot harder, which im all for, but theres no reason we shouldnt be able to use buildings as refuge or to make them walk...

Well, i thought I figured the issue out. But nope. Any halps would be appreciated. My card has been running hot but nothing too nutso. the hd6950s run hot to begin with and im right in the goldilocks zone. about 70-80 c.

I have noticed my temps getting into the 80s and 90s so i crank on my fan control up to 80-90% manually and i didnt have that running while I was playing Dayz... Maybe that IS the issue, lets hope! You said it could be HDD related? It doesn't do this when I'm WoWing or Rifting or playing Skyrim on ultra with the 3 high res texture packs. Thanks for the fast reply though. It just happened again. This time when I exited out of arma, my background was all sorts of janky, lots of yellows reds and blues. And, Catalyst Control Manager crashed (my driver for my hd6950) so my guess is heat or my card is bunking out when playing DayZ? Here's a vidyuh I took with my phone.

So I started playing dayz again and about 5 minutes in to the game it crashes. Weird colors, my character was literally flying around the screen, gun pointing every which way. and an audio loop ensued. When I get back to my desktop after the dayz crash, I cannot open any programs. I click chrome and it instantly crashes. Same with skype, etc. Once during the crash I got a pop up from skype saying something about a stack overflow error. hd6750 hcg 650 watt PSU m4n68tv2 mobo amd phenom 849 x4 @ 3.4 ghz If it makes a difference, I've played Portal 2, WoW (25m raiding guild, lots and lots of stuff going on), Dayz played fine a week ago, Skyrim runs beautifully on med-high settings. This only happens with DayZ...

While I enjoy this server and its consistent pop. there is something seriously wrong with its loot and zombie spawns (and the administrators who run the server). A little encounter I had one Doorman is God Chernarus server. Pretty... childish. I could have handled it better, yes, but they just solidified the fact as to why their server is so janky. No one takes responsibility for the issues on the server. Nor do they listen to their community and try to troubleshoot their server issues. I've tried contacting them on their forums and on their "Contact Us" page to no avail. I was banned tonight for this... So, pretty damn close to verbatim... (seriously, it didn't drag on for any longer than this.) Me: This server sucks, why do loot and zombies not spawn? Population: You suck, get rid of your 56k internet Me: So I'm the only one on the server that has this issue? Population: Yes, none of us have this problem. Me: Does anyone have any constructive ideas to stop this? Population:... BANHAMMER!!! Reason: Stoof... I also posted on the forums, complimenting the server as I like the consistent pop, reliability of not getting shutdown etc.etc. and also asking what I could do to solve the problem IF it was on my end. Obviously DiG takes the easy way out and just bans me. Ultimately solving my problem, though theirs still remains. Which, in turn continues to be the jankiest server I've played on. Forewarning everyone. 1/2 the time you play on this server you will not spawn loot or zombies. IDK about you but dayz running simulator sounds pretty awesome... Hence why I'm ridiculously upset as to why I got banned :D
