It has been a known issue for over 10 years...yes even OFP had that problem ( more details/more ai less frames ) even if not that severe. I wonder if they will ever solve that problem ( i think not because the problem has already been there for so long )

Exactly...but they wouldn't be infected like you and i would be if we got influenca..rather a really nasty infection like as an example World War Z were the infected weren't even afraid of leaping from the top of the wall when they overrun Israel. They are that kind of "not afraid of death zombies". Any predator has at least that much survival instinct that they don't attack anything stronger than themselves alone and of course the natural fear of fire every living creature with a conscious mind has.

You shouldn't be tabbing out of the game anyway....and come complaining about beeing eaten/beaten/shot/raped in the forums...

If you still had some sort of consiousness maybe..i doubt anything braindead would be afraid of anything. Think of them as really crazy people on some really nasty drugs. No fear no need for self preservation.

You'd have to hardcode chat or VON to LMB if you want to make these players communicate before firing. It's just another shooter to them..see somebody? Left click, left click....

Still so many idiots around who don't get the core of the game...gj dispatching one of them. :thumbsup: :beans: :beans: :beans:

Why suggest something when you don't mind the problem beeing continued on "bloodbath servers" in the end? Either pull it through or don't. The sugestion is bad because some people are too "stupid" to play, they are already punished with their own stupidity so you don't ahve to punish them more. A cooldown for the server you play on is ok to fake permadeath.

A vanilla GTX 580 should be enough to run DayZ on high settings. I doubt the specs will change a lot when the game has been optimized, it will never run on a PC with PS4 specs/price. Don't waste your money yet if you have a GPU that can run the game on 30fps without problems. A lot can change.

I doubt they will give you their server files to "try out" if you can set up a server since you are "public" in their eyes unelss you found a company which still makes the chance of them giving the files to you low since you are relatively new to the market and therefor you are a possible security gap.

I understand how your buddies feel but AI or PVE is not the same like in scripted storylines of certain shooters where you get more or less interaction because the script say so. You can't make AI adapt or interact to a player since in both cases a human is unpredictable to another human or AI but an AI is always predictable to a human and therefor a lot of tension is taken out of the game. I know a lot of players who "pwn" AI 24/7 and think they are good players and the moment they fight against another player who hasn't done anything else they get the ultimate buttkicking. That's one thing that belongs into the game and should not be removed, the only thing that is disturbing you as well as other players are those who think DayZ is just CoD with zombies in a larger scale. Future patches will show if they can weed those players out. Admins also have a saying in this by putting settings that prevent this kind of behaviour. But since every admin just wants to get the most players onto his server they will always cater to the ones who want to play CoD.

Those incidents would only happen at the beginning of the event...judging from the "aging" of the buildings i assume the lemmingtrail event is already over.

I guess if BIS made this game into a pay to win project they would earn millions from ppl who want faster loot.

I'm a sadistic soab who is a nobody IRL and has to compensate it in game by torturing and verbally raping people ( i don't even have the balls to do that IRL so i do it anonymously in game )

Might not be the case but they aren't overused yet...and since every zombie movie/series/game plays in the USA or some westernized tropical island ( Dead island :rolleyes: ) playing it in Chernarus/South Zagoria is a welcome change isn't it?

Yeah that's due to the weirdness factor of the engine...if you have a low end pc you might be able to play the game with low settings at 50fps, a better pc with medium settings with 50fps, a gaming pc at high settings with 50fps etc. but neither of the higher rigs will be able to get a significant fps increase when they go down one level with the overall details, there might be even no increase at all which is astounding.

Still doesn't change the fact that the CPU and RAM are not up to date anymore...two bottlenecks in three vital positions ( GPU, CPU, RAM ). It's true that this PC will run every other game but those games are often optimized to run on a massive amount of low end PCs and laptops like f.e. LoL, WoT, PotBS and whatnot. My old rig which has a Core2Duo and a GTX260 can run those titles on high to max just fine.

No tweak will help you when player fps is depending on server fps in ArmA. If the client is lagging the server is lagging...server lagging client lagging...endless circle. Server restarts help but most of the time it's just admins throwing in a ton of scripts into the mission without looking if they have any effect on eachother or the server. We had this case once in a gaming community where after a mission update every client was suffering heavy fps loss but the admins didn't want to believe it or admit that they could have made a mistake so when they held an event with the faulty mission it dropped their jaws...Too bad you can't see server fps as a client without extra scripts.

As long as you have a monopoly you can make the prices, of course you still have to take the hardware prices into account and electricity is also not getting cheaper but more expensive by the minute. Data volume/transfer and having the game installed and configured on a server is the least of the problems.

I didn't say that i don't want adjustable fov at all. Some say just edit your config according to the tutorials ( which people should be capable of ) because then you can't just change it on the fly and abuse it as people do now. And what i meant by 1° fov is you usually don't alter your fov to be that narrow or narrower than normal since as i said the standard fov in games is about 75° or more ( most players prefer around 80-85° in shooters ). You could of course have the game either restart or go back to the main menu ( pulling the player out of the server to prevent abuse ) so they won't/can't use the fov slider for "sniping" because you usually only have to make one or two adjustments to get your preferred fov which would annoy them because they can't do their on the fly sniping anymore and they would be the only ones to start a whining thread about the fov slider/restart/main menu problem in this case.

And that#s what i'm pointing out that it shouldn't be like that if you "got that".

Doesn't really need that much adjustability...offering a "1° fov" is quite stupid since normal fov is around 75° in most games and are usually increased and not decreased/abused showing you really have to give players limitations.

Not only that...you can't just take any type of power line and use it with 380V. We have a lot of milling machines and lathes in the company i'm working in not long ago we blew the fuse out of the connection to the landline a couple of times due to overheating. Nobody thought the power line could be overloaded until then ( hot summer + heat from the electricity ). So when they put a new power line in our emergency electricity for that day was supplied by a truck from the municipal works carrying 3 huge diesel generators. Now we have solar panels that supply more than we need.

It's not really "rare" but the fact that everyone wants to dress up as a soldier and run around with military gear speaks for itself...this isn't the DayZ i imagined it to become after playing the mod for the first time where KoSing wasn't an issue. Even when you've seen everything, done everything and killed everything and it becomes boring you don't need to resort to KoS because that will eventually become boring too.

maybe not for long...nobody knows how far in the apocalypse the game is but is not a couple of days or weks...if you look at how degraded some things look it has to be at least months and no electrical grid will be working that long without maintenance.

...Electricity...or do you want to run it on the batteries of your flashlight? And before you say i'll take my house generator..those machines usually need 380V to work. And do you have the equipment that you need to bring the log to the sawmill? A you usually have man powered devices as last resort and not the other way around...
