Hey guys, I'm trying to make DayZ run smoother, but I don't have a 'DayZ Other Profiles' folder in My Documents. I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8, but there doesn't seem to be that folder in My Documents. There's the standard DayZ folder, but not the other one. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks.

Anyone?

Taken from here: http://www.dayztv.com/standalone/dayz-performance-guide-crash-fix/ C:\Users\yourname\Documents\DayZ Other Profiles\your dayz profile name\your dayz profile name.DayZProfile and set the following options : mouseSmoothing=0 - This should help sort out mouse accelerationsceneComplexity=150000 - This number affects your object details.shadowZDistance=100 - This is the distance at which shadows are drawn.viewDistance=1600 – This number affects the distance view (trees, grass etc…).preferredObjectViewDistance=1000 - This number affects the distance in meters that the objects will be drawn.

They're not, the optimization is specifically in the other folder.

Good stories brahmin

So I was playing DayZ on a Private Hive with two other guys who I encountered in-game. We were heading north out of Elektro, and in the distance, we see a lone player. I'm armed with an M4, and my two friends are carrying AK's. The guy comes up to us, and after just encountering two assholes not 5 minutes ago, I wasn't exactly in the most trusting of moods. I aim at the guy and tell him to stay back. I notice the lake beside us, and tell him to swim into the centre of the lake so we have a chance to get away. He was unarmed, but I tend not to trust anyone. I've teamed up with supposed 'friendlies', and they've killed me the second they got a gun. He started swimming into the middle, then I told him to turn round. Shortly after, I executed him with two shots to the head. He called me a "fucking dickhead", and that was the last I heard from him. I felt guilty for a while, but it was so funny. What's the nastiest thing you've done?

Reupload without the 'song' please, it's so shit.

Hey what's up. I'm looking to either partner up with someone, or be part of a small team. I usually lone-wolf, but occasionally play with people I encounter in-game or from this Forum. I haven't really found someone yet who I play with regularly, though I would like to do so. A bit about me: 19 years old From the UK I have a microphone Use Skype/TeamSpeak to communicate I frequent a Finland Private-Hive server. Lots of players speak English, the ping is great, and it has a decent amount of players. Add me on Skype: toml.1993 Steam (Oh, and that's not my real photo xD): http://steamcommunity.com/id/OldWorldYall I'm online all the time, so I look forward to playing!

Hey there, would be great to play. I know a number of decent Private Hives, add toml.1993 on Skype :) Oh, and that's not me in the picture ^^

I think you're a groomer.

Add me on Skype - toml.1993 I stick to Chernarus, though.

Don't play with Reverence unless you want to play with a rude, ignorant, power-hungry American 14 year-old asshole.

I'm just waitin' for a mate.

Hey what's up, would be cool to partner up. Add toml.1993 on Skype, if you have it. I'll be online for a good few hours yet. Got work tomorrow (UK Time) but I'm off for some days after that. I frequently go on private hives with a standard ruleset. No new buildings, average amount of vehicles, stuff like that. I usually like servers to be between 25-40 players.

Hey dude, what's up. It'd be great to play, I actually frequent a Finland Private Hive that is really good. Add toml.1993 on Skype =]

Sounds great, add me on Skype: toml.1993 There doesn't seem to be anyone on that server at the moment, unfortunately.

Hey guys, it's 'Tom'; AKA the guy that killed Reverence and "took everything". I'll tell you my side of the story in a new post, as his was unfortunately locked. So I add this guy on Skype after reading his post on the forums. We start to play together, and instantly I know there's something up with this guy. I don't mean to be a judge of character, but even something as simple as his voice, was I able to (correctly) determine that this guy was a jerk. So we start playing, trying to find each other in the map after spawning quite far apart from one another. We team up, and he finds a boat. I ask him if I'm able to drive it as I've never driven a boat before. He unwillingly agrees, and off we depart. We stop off to gather fuel, and once we got back to the boat, we take fire from another person. I hop in the driver's seat as I want us to get away as quickly as possible, but the bullets are getting progressively closer to me, so I drive round the corner to keep both myself, and the boat safe. I figured when I started driving that he was in the back, but he was too slow so I wait round the corner whilst he swims to me. Fortunately not a single bullet hits him. We then travel to Cherno docks, and park the boat up. (This is where I get annoyed) So he just dictates to me that I stay and protect the boat whilst he has fun looting Cherno. Now I don't know about you guys, but I don't really appreciate being told what to do by someone I barely know. We both agree to just park the boat somewhere secluded, and be on our way. After a little while, we spot a guy with a Hatchet. I start to follow the guy as I'm also armed with one, intending to take him out. That way we can loot in relative peace without being disturbed by an Axe to the head. My new acquaintance also follows him. To cut a long story short (no pun intended), the guy we were chasing manages to kill Reverence. The guy is then able to escape, as I back down for a moment, then simply lose sight of him. Reverence manages to spawn in Elektro on his first try. I tell him to start heading towards Cherno, and I'll drive down the coast in-sight of him. He immediately replies along the lines of "No, I'll stay here and you come to me". This is the exact moment I knew I had to kill him out of sheer rudeness and disrespect. Whilst his comment may not seem like much, simply his tone of voice and way he worded it really pissed me off. Whilst I start driving towards him (eventually intending to kill him), he tells me that he's just stolen someone's car after shooting at them with his double-barreled shotgun. Props to him, that's a pretty badass thing to do; but that still doesn't redeem himself for acting like an ass to me. I park the boat up behind Cap Golova (it's still there if you want it, at least it was last time I checked, it's hidden quite well; though Reverence might've taken it), and he drives to meet me. I then get in the passenger seat in order to direct the UAZ over to where the boat's hidden. He then gives orders, telling me that I should drive the boat down the coast, following him whilst he takes the UAZ to get refuelled. I asked if I could drive the UAZ as I've been using the boat for ages, and he simply refuses to let me. This is it. This is where it clicked, this is the place I will slay him where he stands. As he looks away, I slam the blade of the Axe into the back of his skull. That is the last moment we spoke. I then took the UAZ, and drove through Elektro. I meet another American guy who's in a spot of trouble. I offer him a ride, but accidentally break his leg as he moves close to the vehicle. I swerve the car sideways so we have some cover, then I proceed to bandage him up and repair his leg. I had to leave around that time, so I asked him if he needed a ride somewhere. We drove out of Elektro, but we make a U-Turn and drive through the town again as he needs to meet his friend. I offered him the UAZ as I wasn't going to be around to use it, but before he had a chance to reply, we get gunned down by Bandits. This didn't surprise me at all, when I initially drove through Elektro, I was honking my horn trying to gather everyone's attention. I wanted to die, and simply start again, but that was when I spotted the American guy in need of some help. So yeah, Reverence; don't be a jerk to people. You instantly took leadership, and bossed me around. To top that all off, you had a harsh undertone of disrespect that nobody should put up with. I'm glad I killed you. I hope that taught you a lesson. If anyone wants to play with me, add toml.1993 on Skype. I usually play as a Bandit, but I'm down for whatever.

To say an item is 'your' item is ridiculous. If someone kills you, like I did, are you entitled to retrieve said item? Should DayZ implement padlocks to stop petty bike thieves from stealing a bike you happened to find in-game? The car didn't belong to you, you flat-out stole it. How do you think that guy felt when you damn well-near took his life in order to take his vehicle from him? He didn't necessarily own the vehicle, but neither did you. That's such a childish thing to say, you're not even worth the time. Have fun, I hope to meet again someday.

Haha, you actually did it! Great stuff, makes me laugh just thinking about it.

This was over a period of a good couple of hours. He deserved to die, he deserved to have his hard work (which essentially amounted to him gathering a couple of fuel canisters and having his legs broken by a random player) put to waste. In a world where anarchy reigns, a bullet is the only way to get your message across. I just decided to use a Hatchet instead, is all. If you've got someone pissing you off online, nobody in their right mind is going to simply 'be the bigger man'. It's kill or be killed, so I got there first. He got what was coming to him.

No no, I think it was probably the right thing to do. He was essentially spamming I guess, giving out my details, so I respect that you closed it. I don't mind if he replies. Thought I'd at least give my side of the story if someone reads that and assumes I'm some asshole looking to ruin everyone's fun. Least of my intentions.

Go to Cherno clocktower, attempt to climb to the top on a 50/50 pop. server and simply jump. If you die before you reach the top, your survivor's wishes will forever be left unfulfilled. Go!
