I'm willing to join, how well geared are you guys? Do you know your way around the ingame map and such?

yes, cpucount=6 would help. Your game will now access all your available CPUs making for a large boost in performance.

That's life my man, in a real apoc people are not going to be so kind. Devolution.

I had a very similar exchange with two players, one was named Spork. I broke my leg and we were all in a house when they went out looking for a morphine and got engaged. Spork died but his friend lived and came running back in, I gave him my Double Barrel Shotgun and my slugs on one condition. He used the first on me. He killed me, as I wanted him to, ended up surviving the bandit and we regrouped later on down the road.

Well put my friend, well put.

Thats my point, maybe clientside zombies are 200m away but serverside it i walking right by you. Like I said I have no evidence on if this is real or not. Just me doing a little pre-work thinking.

My assumption of what the issue may be is this: Some people were having issues with zombies spawning right on or near them and insta-aggroing. I feel maybe is has something to do with that like a zombie is (atleast serverside) meant to be in location X, but location X is occupied by something else. So serverside they are still in location X, but clientside they are in location Y. When you are in range to aggro said zombie at location X, they coming running from location Y as thats where they are clientside. Also ever since Rocket posted how zombie aggro works (the whole clientside serverside shifting) I always wondered if issues like this could happen. Tl;Dr Zombie is at location X on serverside Location X is occupied by a object Zombie at location X aggros Due to aggro zombies switch to clientside Zombie since he can't be in location X on clientside switches to next spawn in list Zombie spawns location Y (very far away) Zombie hauls like an idiot across a field. Just a hunch though, no idea.

Surprisingly he was just chilling out in one of the lootable buildings with a Hatchet, was pretty happy to see him last. Don't know how he is doing now, maybe I made a change!

That's DayZ my friend. But from the post it seems you have had multiple characters and you cannot deny the fact that every time you get engaged and killed by a bandit, your next character is not stronger as you become more hyper vigilant to all and every situation. EDIT Oh good job! You surely just fixed the problem, this is GENERAL DISCUSSION. If you expect people to not post things like this then get out of the forum. General Topics are for the most part a chat room, its not Off Topic since it is DayZ related. Everybody is a hardass now-a-days

You have 3 posts on the forum, are you are going to bash some other player like you are some battle hardened veteran? Please, you are as much rotting scum in this community as the next. Help new players not bash them.

Balls was a joke, as in you need some guts! As for key remaping you are MUCH better off leaving them as there are so many keys thats trying to remap them would cause more issues as the other key you are trying to bind it too will almost surely be taken by another hotkey. You are better off taking the time to learn it, it really isn't too bad.

So this is a general story thread about GOOD deeds you guys have done throughout the wasteland with no intent for compensation or reward. I shall start! I was in a server back during the 1.7.1.5 DayZ and I was in a server that had Side Chat enabled. I was just doing small exploring, for the most part not really anything labor intensive. I was just skimming what people where saying in Side Chat whilst walking across the northern part of Cherno. In Side Chat two people (SirBeef and Joshua [might be wrong with this name]) were having a conversation about grouping up since they were both "friendlies" in Cherno. My first response was "Oh look! Actually some kind folks" then I thought "The only people looking to 'group up' in Cherno are looking for some easy beans to pull of a freshly dead body" but for the most part I was going to let the conversation proceed without me interfering. After about 10 or 15 minutes they eventually meet up and the conversation proceeded a little something like this SirBeef: "So I just double click it to drop it right?" Joshua: "Yes, I'd like to see it please" SirBeef: "Ok! here :]" - Joshua picks up his stuff - Joshua: "Ok thanks bud, bye." SirBeef: "Wait where are you going?" Joshua: "I am leaving, with your stuff." SirBeef: "So I've been robbed?" Joshua: "Yep, bye!" I thought to myself, well... that is kind of what you get. But I later learned that SirBeef was rather new. As in first character new. I immediately felt so sorry and did not want him to be exposed to such horrid behavior as his first interaction. I typed in Side Chat... FreeKill: Joshua you better keep your ass hidden in that city, because I am coming down and may you fear the day you cross in front of me. I immediately threw my AKS-47 Kobra over my shoulder, pulled out my M9SD and started working my way into the city. After about 10 minutes of searching I had found Joshua looting the military tents to the North East of Cherno. I had over-watch on him so I typed in side chat. FreeKill: Joshua I have your head lined up, if you drop your weapons now I'll let you live. Joshua: Why would I do that? FreeKill: You betrayed and stole from SirBeef, and now I am here to take it back. Joshua turned around and started shooting his Winchester wildly, clearly inexperienced bandit, he had no Idea where I was and his shots didn't even come close. I put a shot into him, he fell the floor. I let him lay there bleeding... when he finally came back to and tried to stand up I finished him with a quick burst. Looted his stuff and returned it to SirBeef. SirBeef had nothing he could give as payment for my deeds, and nothing was exchanged. For I wanted to to do it to show to SirBeef there is some good in the world. I hope my actions changed his outlook and he is out in DayZ trying to do the same. What other stories do you have? I'd like to see more!

Better pathing... that's what causes the zigzagyness. How Zeds work in game is they are hosted server side while they walk around their basic AI routes. When one aggros to a player it is now hosted clientside (which makes me curious that hacks couldn't just "delete" said zombies). This is why they look laggy to other players since the data goes from the client to the server and back down to your client. It is ineffective, but more effective than a fully serverside zombie AI. If that were the case one bullet would be fired in Cherno and all of DayZ would crash.

By any chance did he witness you pick up a can of beans?

Not a problem my friend, now go out and adventure into the crazed world of DayZ my newly named survivor/bandit! Destiny is but yours to shape!
