So i found a crossbow and think it's a pretty sweet weapon because it oneshots zeds and is extremely silent, only problem i got so far is that my bolts keep disappearing after i shot zeds. I've read that you're usually able to pick them up after you killed the target. Any informations or tips for me?

Well this happened a few times, too. Fired it, killed the zed and the bolt stuck in mid-air. But i haven't been able to pick up a single bolt after i fired it.

So i saw some videos of DayZ and thought it looks pretty awesome, almost instantly bought it and now here i am. After i installed the game with the Six Launcher like recommended on the official site, i joined a server and tried it out. There was nothing to see from the awesomeness in the videos :/ Not because the game sucks, the game is really awesome and i know it's just an alpha version, but it just won't work properly on my PC. I need to set up the resolution to some weird settings that i usually never use just to see the green symbols in the bottom right corner of the screen. The game lags really hard and sometimes i got some sort of frozen-screen. The graphic settings are all very low and still it lags and of course looks like shit. It's just no fun to play :/ Usually my PC can handle every game, i already played games like Prototype, Mass effect (1-2) and AC (1-2) without any problems. Some informations: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 2x 3.00 GHz 4 GB RAM Windows 7 32bit (i know its shit) GForce 8800 GT If you need more tell me. I want to play this game so bad, please please help me out!

I tried EVERYTHING recommended in this thread now (except for buying a new Graphic) but the game still looks like shit and lags hard ... i'm so fucking desperate right now

I installed the beta patch now but it changed nothing :/

Well that's the year Arma 2 was released. And i had no problems with the 8800 GT yet. :p 'Have you got the latest beta patch for arma 2? When you launch the game, it tells you the version in the bottom right of the main menu' Well i guess if i'd not have it i couldn't start the game properly ? And i just installed the game 3 days ago so there can't be a new patch :o
