suspense

These are messages from the hive. They are just respawning/logging into the server, when they do this, the server "adds" the items that the hive has registered that they had on last login, and this is what you are seing.

Its obvious. If you robbed a store, did you expect to be lectured of the fact that robbing a store is bad, and you know, you can go home and not do it again?

So, you approached a "mod/game developer" asking if you can play his product on a pirated version(screwing over game developers) and expected a good outcome? Yeeeaaaaa

In my case, i have. I prefer performance over image quality. That is not the point of this thread tho, the point was to explain each setting in the configs to a degree so people are able to personally change their configs to their liking, not for me to dictate what should be used. You cannot completely "remove" mousesmoothing, but reducing it to 1 more or less disables it.

You cant compare BF3 and Skyrim to ArmA. These 2 games heavily store textures in video memory, where ArmA 2 stores a lot of textures on RAM. This results in the CPU and hdd being more important then the graphics. ArmA 2 has far too many textures to store it all in ram, or in video memory. This results in harddrive sweeps constantly, because ArmA loads textures in pbos, flushes them, and reloads them. It is completely different from "mainstream" games, which is why a lot of people dont understand why their sick graphics card, and insanely fast CPU cant provide them with 200 fps in ArmA. I played this game for over 2 years, without DayZ. And on domination missions, the fps is not as horrible, but much worse then "newer games" on the same hardware, because of the reasons i stated above. I already stated that FPS will continue to be even more horrible with object cleanup being bugged. When that is fixed, you should all expect 20-40% performance increase on servers that have been running for a while.

The mod doesnt handle rendering, it barely pushes any textures to the engine. ArmA2s performance has little to do with the graphics card, more to do with your cpu and hdd. Another reason for subpar performance can be hyperthreading on some systems, and this is not only applicable to ArmA 2, but other games aswell. Obviously tweaking have different effects on different systems, but above configs that i provided(my own) should give you substantially higher fps then what you have, what kind of cpu do you have? And what branch of graphics? Make sure your drivers arent set to overwride the games profile. Launch options in ArmA 2 also gives a little bit of an increase, which are you using?

What would be professional, would be to not even have released this alpha, or this mod. Kept it private for another 10 years of inhouse development, thne do a press release followed by another 2 years of development, then do a release of a game with 100 missing features, lots of bugs and servers not working. This is a mod This is an alpha No one asks you to be here No one forces you to buy ArmA 2 or OA No one cares if you leave This is rockets mod, no matter what you say, its done his way. He said it a million times, essentially, this game becomes what he wants it to be, we are LUCKY to even play it. We are lucky to even have a slight part in what it will be in the future. But we do NOT SHAPE THE GAME IN THE END, HE DOES. Now stop offending him, if you want to develop a game yourself because this aint what you wanted it to be, go ahead.

Making a windows defrag can improve performance a little bit, but not much. Windows defrag only gathers likeminded files and put them closer to eachother, which in this case wont make much of a difference. This is an example of a harddrive platter. When a harddrive does a sweep of something it needs, it searches from the outer platter and in. By having ArmA 2 on the outer platters, you reduce seek time on the harddrive dramatically, which allows for faster loading of textures and objects from ArmAs PBO files. ArmA 2 rarely loads full pbo files, instead it loads specifically what it needs within a pbo file. This means it constantly loads stuff from the pbo files during gameplay, reducing seek time in return increases performance. I only suggest advanced users who understands this, attempt to make an organized defrag.

People were using them to fly over forest and spot every vehicle.

The patch is now supported by battleye

This is because the patch is not supported by battleye yet, give it 1-3 hours and it will fix itself, meanwhile you can go downgrade. Refer to http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?137812-ARMA-2-OA-beta-build-95389-(1-62-MP-build) for battleye status

I am fully aware, the only reason i said what i said was for the fact that getting a fracture as a new spawn, takes longer then just getting killed by a zombie. Disallowing respawn because you can respawn when you have a fracture, seems senseless to me, when you can just kill yourself instead. Its even quicker.

Quoting from Battleyes website http://www.battleye.com/support.html

So if i die 2 times a day, im not allowed to play for the rest of that day?

Its not easy to enforce database bans with just screenshot proof, or video proof of someone killing someone else with a weapon that isnt in the mod. A hacker could easily have spawned that gun on an innocent person, or changed someones camo. In order to enforce a database ban, you need logs of that person enforcing a script, or video proof of someone (with nametags) spawning vehicles or items.

And thats okay. Its also okay to run into a town and get killed by zombies. The idea is, it reduces constant respawns drastically which in turn increases performance. You cant ever eliminate respawns, which wasnt really the point either, the point was to reduce it. Its easier to find 2 zombies and wait until you get killed, then it is to find a building thats a story high.

Its rather difficult to be abused. Getting fractures arent exactly easy unless you have a bunch of zombies on you. At which time, you are already trying to get yourself killed anyway 95310 are backward compatible, just install it and you can play on the previous servers thats running an earlier patch.

Exactly. More specifically, things like bodies not disappearing, bodies spewing blood forever causes serious framerate issues.

You cant compare what Rocket said he wanted Day Z to be, with what WoW is. Did you not notice i was talking about a Tranquility server? Just like Eve online. Theres 1 server for every single region(in eves case, 1 server for absolutely everyone) Rocket stated he was thinking of a system like this for Standalone A server specific system in Day Z on ArmA, would completely ruin how the game feels. Servers goes down all the time, servers arent on the newest patch, servers crash, servers gets rebooted too often, servers rollback, servers gets abandoned. And everytime, you would have to start over. You cant even go from your "usual" server, to a new one with your friends if the server your character is bound on, for some reason goes down. In the current state, all of this dont matter anyway, because the persistent system Rocket has talked about that he wanted, cannot be implemented as long as DayZ is a mod for ArmA 2.

You must disable or delete DayZ in order to play the singleplayer part of arma
