Those of you that are ONLY putting the @DayZ folder on a RamDisk probably wont notice much (if any) improvement in performance. The main PBO files that will improve your performance if placed on a Ramdisk are the ones containing the map, buildings, roads, trees, bushes, etc. Its these objects coming into view and having textures streamed at various distances that hit your performance. These are not found in the @DayZ folder but the Arma2 OA folder (location varies between steam and non-steam installs). If Symlinks are done properly you shouldn't have any issues playing MP with a Ramdisk. A great tool for creating symlinks can be found here: http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/hardlinkshellext.html A rough guide to setting up a Ramdisk for DayZ can be found here: http://www.22ndsas.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=9205

There's a bug whereby vehicles have no fuel after a server restart. Maybe this is what your experiencing ?

Did you pick up a smoke or frag grenade maybe? I've seen similar entries for numerous players, just assumed it was grenade related.

Hi Chaps, Using the CBL filters I have several instances of the following entry in my scripts.log: I've noticed the typo "rivate" as opposed to "private" for similar entries such as: I still cant fathom out how to work out which line #197 refers to in my scripts.txt due to the whole commented + thing, so given that Im having a blonde moment, can anyone tell me if the line with the typo is nothing to worry about? Cheers

You need to contact the admins of the server and ask them to remove your ban so you can join and they can scan your kit via the logs to prove its no longer in your inventory kit. If they can't prove you've run a script to spawn the weapon, they have most likely assumed you have when they've scanned the logs for players with illegal items.

Their high ping kick feature also doesn't seem to work...unless its broken in the actual game.

Cheers Geit :thumbsup:

Hi chaps, Found several of the following entries in my scripts.log (having used dwardens CBL filters): I'm aware of kicks for accessing the in-game admin control panel (dedicatedServerInterface.sqf) but this is first time I've seen log entries for server_interface.sqf, anyone got any thoughts? Not all players are logged, but some players are logged several times for this. Cheers

Have any of you seen or know of BattlEye: Script Restriction #195? Can't find anything on Google...which leads me to believe it doesnt exist ;)

DayZ Commander and SixLauncher will not currently update the DayZ mod - only the Arma2 Beta. You have to manually update your DayZ mod via torrent. Trying to join a 1.7.2.5 server with the 1.7.2.4 mod will result in being stuck on loading screen.EDIT: DayZ Commander may now update the DayZ mod (see post above)

Both Six Launcher and DayZ Commander seem to be having the same problem.

I've never had a problem standing over barbwire...even when its blocking a door way.

Clearly this isnt the case...but I thought I read somewhere on these forums that you could respawn if you broke your leg on 1.7.2.4. I thought respawn was only disabled for healthy players?

Have you manually updated to the latest BE client?

Sure it wasnt just rubber-banding from a major de-synch? My friend was running through a field with me near Berezino (on our way out) and suddenly he warped back to the hospital where we had been about 10 minutes ago. Just prior to warping back to a previous position, from my point of view he was de-synching as he's be next to me one second, ahead the next by a good 20 virtual feet, then next to me, then behind me..etc. We both had watches and compared times and he was miles out from my time. He DC'd and re-joined the server and was OK then for the rest of the night (watches were also synched fine).

I have a 6Gb RamDrive and put the following PBOs (5.3GB) on it: buildings.pbo buildings2.pbo buildings2_Ind_CementWorks.pbo ca.pbo characters.pbo characters2.pbo chernarus.pbo chernarus_Data.pbo chernarus_Data_Layers.pbo misc.pbo misc_fix.pbo misc2.pbo misc3.pbo plants2_Bush.pbo plants2_Clutter.pbo plants2_misc.pbo plants2_Plant.pbo plants2_Tree.pbo Roads2.pbo rocks2.pbo signs2.pbo structures.pbo utes.pbo water.pbo water2.pbo weapons.pbo weapons2.pbo dayz.pbo dayz_anim.pbo dayz_code.pbo dayz_equip.pbo dayz_sfx.pbo dayz_vehicles.pbo dayz_weapons.pbo Below is a link to a thread listing PBO files that comes to 3.21GB 9but it doesnt include the DayZ PBO files): http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?88388-Here-s-how-I-got-ARMA2-to-perform-smoothly-using-RAMDISK&p=1464956&viewfull=1#post1464956

Only users with a non-SSD HDD are going to notice significant improvements using a RamDisk. I have a 7200rpm HDD and at certain points within the game (both SP/MP) I had some performance issues such as: :: Stuttering whilst moving around (more noticeable at speed in vehicles, more so as you approach cities with many objects) :: Texture popping (as there is no file caching, textures are streamed in real time from the HDD) :: Object popping (as above, more noticeable when zooming in) After moving several Arma 2 and DayZ PBO files to a RamDisk I dont get any of the above, it runs nice and smooth and I've been able to increase my view distance by 100% :) If you're on an SSD, I doubt you need a RamDisk.

If anyone is still struggling with setting up a RamDrive maybe this is of some help: http://www.22ndsas.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=9205 Should apply to Steam users too as far as I can tell (though PBO file locations will differ).

@ Tychi: I have it working on a RamDrive fine, I used DataRams RamDisk to create my RamDrive. Placed the relevant ARMA and DAYZ PBO files on my RamDrive and used Link Shell Extension to create symbolic links. I launch DayZ via Six Launcher and can play without problem. More detailed explanation of what I did: http://www.22ndsas.info/forums/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=9205 @JoostVoordeel: Did you only place the DayZ PBO files on the RamDrive?

Are you getting lots of stuttering as you move around, or objects/textures popping up/flashing? Due to the way in which Arma 2 streams data as you play, it hammers your hard drive with read/write requests. If you have a non-SSD hard drive, this could be the bottleneck. If you an SSD drive then I guess it must be CPU/GPU related. If you've not already, disable POST PROCESS effects under video options.
