If you like this Idea don't just give beans...comment or bump it so it doesn't get buried please. So you start playing DayZ. You run around collect some gear, "survive", shoot some shit...then what? You join up with or form a group, run around collect gear shoot shit...then what? Well hopefully (soon) you build an underground base with security systems and agriculture systems. You defend it, collect gear, shoot shit, attack other guys fort....then what? First Thing...A clan\friend\family system will need to be integrated into the game. This data can be collected and used to implement the following sort of thing. 1. Put a structure or object into the world that when captured (and while held) grants advanced fort\city\resource management mechanics to the clan controlling it. I think an object would work better because it can be held by a specific player so it can't be taken while clan is offline..(like a structure could). This would be like a giant, persistent game of King OF The Hill going on within DayZ a. The normal underground fort building mechanics would still be there for ALL players. But to the clan holding the "flag" (maybe a government building or something like that) To the clan holding the "flag" more advanced RTS City management option become available. Things like....smelting and forging for ammo & vehicle parts manufacturing infrastructure for electricity and plumbing Advanced agriculture options. Advanced skins and vehicles to establish emergency services The possibilities are great I think. Take the bits that can fit into this context from games like Sim City, Age Of Empires, Civilization or any other cool RTS games. b. The World Is Theirs...If the clan is capable they are free to expand their area of control as far as they can. Of course other players\clans are free to attack, resist infiltrate, subvert or use any means to wrest control away and into their own clans hands. Or Alliances can be made (and betrayed :) woohoo). So much possible fun. c. Ruling clan or clans (maybe there's more than one "flag" to be captured) can still do what They want. Terrorize with death squads, oppress and horde or... attempt to maintain a "safe area" for social interactions and trading, medical services, ect... Ruling clan or clans need to manage resources and defend. While the rest of us can plan revolts, form alliances, and build secret underground base camps and scavenge to survive... Until we can seize power ourselves Blood feuds will form, hatred and Jealousy's fester. Dynasty's may come to power. Uprisings, rebellions, sabotage & espionage, betrayal..... All Out War!!! All unscripted and created dynamically on the fly by US!! Oh yeah, and lets not forget on top of it all Zombies & and infections that are an actual threat. The only tricky issue is not having another clan seize power while ruling clan is offline. One possibility is advanced security systems...electrified fences...mines ext. Another is that the ruling clan could "hire" gaurds. There is a chance that resources can be stolen or property could be damaged but power couldn't change hands if clan is offline. I guess I'm suggesting some government building capability. 1. The implementation is pretty simple 2. It gives players MORE control over creating the world and game play. 3. Provides an infinite "endgame". Always a reason to play. 4. Provide us with an EXCELLENT reason to work together (oust current government) Or be loyal to it. 5. It doesn't dictate the way we play. But it does reward teamwork and or skill.

Wow!! Is this game still around? Who knew?

Party's over!! Everyone go the fuck home!!!

You only THINK you're meeting people and experiencing thing....Actually you're sitting at your desk staring at a screen ;)

Here is my solution for all the whining\complaining\entitled little cunts on this thread. LOCK THREAD

The longer I spend away from these forums the more disgusted I am by them when I check in. What a pathetic display.

Ok fair enough. Now all that aside...have you tried setting your video memory to default :P

Maybe so....but your saying if someone found a workaround that worked for you...and got rid of the glitches so you could play freely, you wouldn't want to know about it? I think you would.Plus four posts up you say So what what up?

But being aware of what settings people are using COULD help to isolate where problem is.And to boot....It's difficult to make a game run smoothly on 1,000,000 different hardware configs. Sometimes for me in the past slight optimizations on my end were necessary to run certain games. Things like disabling a processor core or one of my video cards. There's nothing wrong with collecting as much information as possible about peoples set ups and settings. In fact it helps. Just because it doesn't help you doesn't mean it shouldn't be posted. Fixing it for you might break it for someone else...this is why information is needed. The goal is to have it as optimized as possible. And in the end...some people might have to employ work-arounds or tweaks to enjoy the game.

Just out of curiosity....is you 3d and display resolution settings in game set to match the display resolution in you video card settings.(nvidia control panel)

Took your advice and read back exactly what you said. Very Kind, helpful and tactful. :) Bye Bye

BTW I receieved almost twenty cans of beans in support of you going away.....You promised.

Did i say he did anything wrong? I just offered advice on how to avoid it in the future. You've been harassing me for days for no reason. What's your problem?....last time I checked the word "moderator" does not appear with your name.

You're obviously new here...:) This is a well known bug. Next time take your pack off, then put camo on. Then take off new pack that spawned with camo. And put back on your old pack....Live and learn :)

People..if you want to be of help you should consider including the following info with your post 1. Details about display and video memory info from your system 2. Details about video settings you are using in ARMA2 3. Details about game performance

It's odd you're not sure how much you spent....but anyway....LIST HARDWARE PLEASE :)

I replaced all your "you's" with "I's". The fixes (or work arounds) I posted have been permanent for me. Town to town, back to towns. Different servers. It worked for me.You should only speak for yourself.

Thank You :)

All three work great for me. Go figure. One of the biggest challenges of game development is optimizing so they perform in a consistent way across different hardware configs.

What a bunch of fucking ingrates.....All the same people who were badmouthing rocket earlier. Im out.....and predict this thread gets locked shortly :)

Did you download the patch from a torrent or a single file?Maybe it's a stupid suggestion but I suggest you try what worked for me. Uninstall SU. MAke sure you go in and get any files the unistaller might miss. re download and install patch from a single file (not a torrent) then do what yo did before....copy beta over original exe and set launch option in steam. Then make sure you launch through steam. Then adjust the video options i mentioned Youve got nothin to lose.

Damn right I did ;) At the end of the day...I've got rid of the glitches on every single server i try. No glitches...any server period. (so far)Also load times of about 15 seconds. on every server I've successfully logged into (alot). And you attack me for trying explaining how i did it? Are you a complete fucking doughnut or what? I know what i did doesn't work for everyone...but it worked for me so I shared it. So you can tell me all day long I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I got my shit working consistently across servers (tested about 30 servers so far) , and what do you have??? An Opinion!!! Pffft!!! you can keep it charlie. Enjoy not playing dayZ for awhile longer. :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question but....when you go to ARMA2 main menu page...it says version 1.7.2.5?
