Excellent work, but I'm afraid that we could have used this a year ago, when a lot of this started to become immensely annoying. Regardless, thanks a lot.

I think we all know that this won't happen, for the extremely simple reason that the DayZ developers aren't complete morons.

1. You actually don't even know how many times this has been suggested, and I feel sorry for you, but this isn't too new. 2. It seems like the effects you mentioned would be terribly annoying, likely to the point where they would outweigh the benefits.

Please no.

Just save up your money for a complete overhaul, because if you decide to upgrade your CPU and not your motherboard, you'll be trapped by socket limits, which isn't very good, especially with that socket.

Ah, I see. Thanks for letting me know.

I believe that there are no experimental servers at the moment because the latest patch was rolled out fully, from an experimental version to a stable version. At the moment, to my knowledge, there are no experimental patches being tested, hence the lack of those servers.

Could you start by telling us your specs?

Optimizations already have and will still be made. The Take on Helicopters engine is sometimes hard to work with in these situations, but Rocket and Co will pull through. Coding for zombies will be improved as more are added, causing frame rates to keep at stable and playable levels. It's all just a matter of time.

Sorry to not have time to reply more thoroughly, but I personally wouldn't trust most of the hardware recommendations on this forum, even though your computer will be for DayZ specifically. Instead, go to the New Builds and Planning section of the Linus Tech Tips Forums here: http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/18-new-builds-and-planning/ That forum is filled with hardware enthusiasts and has been for a while now, and I would trust most of the higher-post-count members' advice for building a new rig. They help people with this all the time. Good luck.

The problem is that the engine performs best in the situation that most AMD chips are lacking, which is single-core performance. The engine only utilizes one core per CPU, which Intel chips are usually focusing in, while AMD chips tend to go with multi-core performance most of the time. Like the others have said, you'll either have to wait or get a decent Intel CPU, at least in the game's current state, if you want excellent frame rates.

It's talking about your GPU memory, not your RAM. If it's setting it back to only 2 GB, then I assume it's because you have 2 GB of GPU memory.

I'm an avid black screen watcher as well.

I'd say the slow fire rate is a con.

The "creative fiction" that people like LeeHarveyEnfield make is neither creative nor fiction. They're just adding a terribly written "story" to something that already happened in-game, which wasn't even remotely interesting to begin with. And if you think that people only dislike that because they want to feel superior, then maybe you should open your eyes.
