    Vision nerfed yet again?!

    I'm happy with the present 'zoom' in experimental. Don't see the problem :p
  2. ^^ This. OP your two 'problems' are pretty comical and I can't reply better than above.

    Persistence wipe for 0.56

    I think a full wipe would be good. All persistence; players, tents etc.. wipe the lot.
  4. 'normally'... however this is based on Arma.. that has always had a lot of the 'graphics' CPU bound. Who knows if this will be the case with Dayz full release.

    so much for the struggle

    .....there was a time when the difference between 'hardcore' & 'normal' was going to be more than just camera view. I hope this will be the case one day. We can have servers for folk who want to gear up in short period and go PvP deathmatch and another set of servers that challenges players to survive against the environment & players alike. One can only dream. (in this latest patch I was stuffed & healthy within literally 100 yards of my spawn... hardly a challenge.)

    Game is boring again. I'll try again in 0.56 or experimental. Endless loot and all the guns that make the game dull.

    Cooking in .55

    Oh the irony... I have a pot and just about nothing else! What do I need to make a tripod? Sticks & rope? Or something else?

    DayZ for purists - Keeping it real

    I consider myself a casual Dayz gamer and I play under the exact same rules. Seems like 101 of Dayz to me. Beauty of Dayz is the number of different ways you can play it.

    Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

    Oh well bye, shows your level of ignorance nicely. Maybe 10 minutes ago you've forgotten your advice was he reduce his settings.. it must be because its such a good CPU. :)

    Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

    I'm confused how those videos prove anything?

    Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

    You are entitled to your opinion. But if you think this CPU @ 2.8 Ghz out performs one at 4.5Ghz then I believe you are the foolish one. The K at the end simply means it is unlocked and can therefore be overclocked, so yes the K is important. Real life examples are more relevant than benchmarks.

    Sorry don't know what you mean / are asking?

    Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

    I'm using a Intel i5 3570k overclocked to 4.5Ghz with a GTX 780.. getting good fps.

    Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

    Excellent for email, internet & word processing... not good for running dayz/arma.

    Have good graphics card.. not getting good fps

    yeah.. upgrade or overclock your cpu. 2.8 is slow, and this engine needs a lot cpu power. FPS is a combo of cpu & gfx card.

    Failed to start game (missing executable)

    I've got the same problem.. any help out there. The exe is there, i deleted it and verified. Still no joy. OP did you fix it?
  17. I find the more people on the server the less likely I'll bump into someone and visa versa.. go figure. I do prefer the tension of knowing the server has lots of players on it. I find the vast majority friendly anyway. :)

    Can't we reset to 0.49 for a while?

    Wayyyyy too much food. Tins everywhere. But I'm not having much luck with ammo. And everything being pristine really does not help. I do like a challenge, but right now the ONLY challenge is avoiding getting killed by other players. But still 0.5 is much more enjoyable than 0.49 IMO.
  19. Hi, With private shards and 0.5 in stable I'm looking to find a home in Dayz. Any good (popular) private shard servers that are 1st person based in the UK or northern Europe? Ideally with minimal rules. The Elysium server looks good, but as much as I dislike KOS their rules seem too black & white. Thanks for any info.
  20. Ok thanks, clearly i need to look at the server browser more closely. Eh? What is this in reference to?

    Why do the majority of players i encounter suck?

    The vast majority of people I meet are friendly. But i only "meet" people who seem friendly, as i normally am the one spotting others, not being spotted myself. Haven't been KoS in months.

    Very Clever

    I haven't. Not that I give a shit about others doing so.

    First person server persistence?

    I think you are confusing having it enable and having it working. Might be a mute point, but i believe it is enabled BUT when servers crash it breaks the persistence. As far as i can tell persistence is simply broken by server crashing. Hence there is no persistence.
