I liked the zombies in 1.7.2. They could spot you from far away, but they were loseable. Now they're also loseable, but they don't spot you as easily... just keep out of their field of view and you can give them a neck rub if you choose to :V BUT once you get to the point you don't care about them you will get gang banged by them and die. True story. There was a suggestion of a dynamic zombie spawn rate for major towns. Once a place is frequented enough, the spawn rate will go up there. Spawn rate is lower for other places until frequented, and eventually major places would be unreachable for a while. This game needs... dynamics

I have several tents with guns and supplies. When I die and respawn, I don't make my first objective to run there, but instead stock up on things in the city and then, after that, if I find something interesting dump it in one of those tents. Am I carebear nao?

Crank up your gamma and brightness a little, use flares and chemlights... but don't throw those flares next to you you'll just paint a huge "I'm here" sign. Try it, you'll be fine :P

UK13 GMT -3, but don't spam it and for the love of god don't sing on it.

Wow man, I really liked the little sneeze in the beginning and the mouse hover circle. Did you see how fluid that motion was??? But all kiddings aside, I wish Arma and Dayz issues could be fixed this easily.

I like the idea but add this; Remove bandits killed/murders and replace with "Passports found" or similar. One ID, +1 to the counter.

I don't think cheaters are as rampant as you could think. Sure there are some around, no doubt. I like the persistent server system, but why not make characters stick to one server? You could have one on server #1, or while #1 is full you could play character two on server #2. I'd imagine this would help the ability of server admins being able to police against hackers... ban their asses and whatnot.

I've got a duo core 2.66GHz and have some trouble running it. Give it a try with arma 2 free, it's possible afaik?

I'd like a recall spell and paralyze introduced from Ultima Online, also the force push and force speed would be great. I really, sincerely, hope, that the devteams takes note of this!

I guess I'm also doing something wrong, since not everyone has killed me on sight - and especially in big cities, most people have just heeinz beenz so why bother? I have killed some lad once, half-accident. Usually I just watch where they go and such. I've given taxi services once without getting shot in the face :P But the last time... I was driving along the roads. Suddenly there's an ambush and I get my usual glitches... how the hell would they know I was going there? Wait all day until someone goes through? Doesn't sound too plausible for such a gamer base of short attention spans (I admit, I have a short span too). They were either very good or hackers... idk. Mind blown :P Sorry for the OT

No it is not, but AFAIK; Group channel works in lobby Vehicle channel for people in the vehicle Direct for a range of 20 meters Some servers have side channel enabled, but please, don't spam it and don't use voice on it. And for the love of god don't sing on the channel.

I don't know, but your character definitely should be dead... no offense :P

I got this too, fixed by deleting the beta folder in ARMA OA / expansions directory and installing the older patch. I hope this helps :P

Try a pistol for small town raid when it's likely that there's no players around, they're audible to around 50-60 meters Run for the field, back run and shoot them in the face Zig-Zag up a steep hill, they will have to walk Lose them by breaking Line of Sight with buildings or hop over fences, then break LoS Run into a (large) building and pick them one by one Meelee, but prepare to have cooked meat and morphine and bandages... :P

Probably, but everything starts with a concept, right? :)

You're right. I didn't take the ammo to account... ^^; Need more coffee. Hopefully the dev team will take note of this, I'd like to see it implemented at some point

Also, remember, the flashlight works at night

It's still months away I don't think things should be overlooked because it's "around the corner". What happens to Arma 2 DayZ, will it just be dumped after that or...? I'd also like to know if Arma3 is as badly optimized as its predecessor :D

I like this ++++ Except for the personal inventory, how come it is so small or is it scrollable left-right? Or is it small on purpose? Right now it is 12 I think? Also I definitely like the fact that you could see your bag at all times, and the logo of the gear you're going through (tent). I've dropped quite a few items because I thought I was putting items in a tent/whatever.... :D

Enfield is 1-shot-kill, but it is loud, audible to 234m according to DayZ DB. Hence the name Dinner Bell. Use Winchester instead. But next time I'm dead and respawn, I'll find an enfield for shits and giggles :D

Hey guys, I made a post of this earlier, thought I had found a solution. I don't know why, but the problem stopped for a while. Now it is acting up again and I decided to 'delete' it to make a new one. The issue goes like this... I'm in the wilderness, I get great FPS and no stuttering at all. I go to a major city, get slight FPS drop, but nothing I can't manage. ArmA 2 works fine. But when the fit happens, my FPS drops to unbearable (no, I'm not talking about "I only got 50FPS in a full city firefight" type of unbearable), I get horrible lag, textures disappear/flicker and all the textures turn low res. This happens in the wilderness rarely, more commonly in the cities. Waiting doesn't work, and the only fix is to use the "flush" command. This works, but it is a great pain, since I've had to do it almost regularly lately. I've gotten killed/almost gotten killed several times due this. I use appropriate settings (match resolution and 3D resolution, disable/high shadows, no AA, no postprocessing, low/no HDR, default vram, et cetera. This happens even if I use the highest, or the lowest settings. I use these launch parameters -nosplash -world=empty -maxMem=2047 -maxVRAM=1024 -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=1. These did help, but the issue hasn't gone anywhere it seems. My graphics drivers stopped working a couple of times, could be temperature? Hasn't happened for a long while now. I don't use 6Launcher, I use the latest beta (94876), DayZ 1.7.2.1 and Steam version of ArmA 2 CO. I use the RamDisk tweak found here: My system specs are (according to dxdiag, if you need more please tell me); Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1905M (what the hell why would dxdiag say that amount...) 512MB (Downloaded the latest drivers few days ago) Intel Core Duo E8200 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs) ~2.7GHz 4GB of RAM Vista Please help me out here. NOBODY seems to have this problem. Is the issue serverside or systemside?

This seems to have improved my performance somewhat - or maybe it could be that + the latest patches. I played for an hour or two, got only one fit now. If it starts acting up, I'll ask my pal to overclock this thing for me. Thanks for the replies guys!

This would be good. Combine it with the dynamic zombie spawn rate and it's perfect. Dynamics is good and keeps the experience interesting :P

Food is mostly everywhere, don't worry soon enough you'll notice the same and want a drop in the rates :P

Legit game? Get t on Steam 20 bucks, ain't that bad. Also see if this helps. http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#DayZ_Steam_installation e; Never mind someone replied faster etc. :D
