My specs include: 1100T at stock settings 8 gigs of 1333 Sapphire 6950 at stock settings I run the game at 1920xwhatever, high settings, with no AA. Outside of Cherno, I get good FPS, but it tanks to less than 20 when looking in certain directions. I'm thinking I need to over clock the CPU and videocard, because this FPS is ridiculously low for my hardware.

I like the sound of that. That would make forced trips through Cherno or Elektro avoidable.

I'm looking forward to ATV's. Those will make supply and water runs so much more enjoyable.

After 4 days of survival, a record for me, I've experienced too much "alpha syndrome". On day 1, I managed to get an AK 74 with a Kobra at the NW airfield. I found 9 magazines for it and various other supplies. I log out for the day to the east. Day 2, I spawn on the coast of Elektro and have to kill 2 survivors on the docks of the town and get my bandit skin. I wonder the wasteland and gather supplies and scavenge with a few others. Day 3, I log in and we get reports of a crashed chopper. Before we get to the crash site, my humanity finally gets back up to 2500 and my survivor skin comes back on, but my AK, ammo, and everything on my harness disappears. So now I've only got what was in my ALICE and my trusty 6 shooter. We make runs to various places for parts for the chopper, eventually finding an AKM with 2 mags. I log off again after the chopper is almost finished but was too dark to do anything useful. Day 4, I once again spawn on the coast and make my way to the NE arifield. I get close and my friend spots some others there. He manages to kill one and seriously injure the other. I close in to finish him off as he covers me. I sneak up to the hanger where he is hiding and check the corner opposite of me, and the corner to the back. I see nothing except concrete and walls. I turn around to check to see if anyone is following, and I get shot by the guy in the hanger through a wall. 4 days wasted and several bugs experienced, only to be finished my BS.

I've heard that vehicles are extremely fragile. One guy was bitching that his hatchback was detonated by tapping a washer machine while trying to creep around it. I've yet to see a working vehicle yet though.

I've met some really helpful survivors, and giant douchers. One guy gave a blood transfusion after I fell and broke my leg. He really was what I was hoping others would be like. The majority of people I've come across will execute you as soon as you turn your back. That's why I've taken up an "avoid or kill" plan that applies to everyone. I'm tired of trekking for hours just to be killed by someone setting up an ambush for a can of beans, ridiculous.

I did, saw some thread's in /k/ and was amazed by the whole concept. I've only been playing for this week, but I've had more fun than I've had in a long time. I tried to play the Arma 2 singleplayer, but was bored to tears.
