A quick solution : Press : ctrl+shift - (numpad) and type flush Works like a charm. Note* Its a figure of speech, charms don't really work :P

If they could make it as creepy and dangerous as Metro 2033 and STALKER, it would probably solve the so called ''Kill on sight'' problem, seeing as most people would be afraid of the npcs and they would pose more of a threat than just plain Zombies. + it would actually be very hard to survive in such an environment.

They dont have to be new Infected zombies. They could be humans but not zombies. Something like this :

Care to elaborate ?

Turn of anti aliasing and Vsync if you have not already. If that does not help then i have no clue what the problem is :P

Ah , what a shame :P

I would like to join you but first I need to know if its on American servers or not, because I can't play on American servers due to my crappy internet connection :P

Can you give me your in game graphic settings ?

Hmm 2 things. 1. When you set the graphics to the maximum, do you put video memory on anything else but default ? Always put video memory on default because for some reason, if you dont you will lose fps. 2. Make sure you set your 3d resolution to your screens resolution.Choosing an option that is higher than your monitors resolution will make the textures look better, but will severely impact your performance. If that does not work you can always try this : Go to my documents , Arma 2, and then open ArmA2OA in your notepad, then find the following GPU_MaxFramesAhead= GPU_DetectedFramesAhead= set them both to one so that it looks like this : GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; Then save the changes. This should give you an performance boost.

How much RAM have you got ? I have a GTX 570 phantom and i too have performance issues, but only in cherno.

Hmm I am all for bounty boards but there is one problem. The only way to identify a person is by studying their body when they are dead ( unless you play on a regular server with CH : 1 ) So essentially, what you get is a group of bounty hunters wiping the entire map,killing everyone on sight, just so they could get one guy who has a bounty on his head.

I read a while ago that rocket is planning on making a new map for Dayz , or expanding the current one, and an idea popped into my head. Seeing as the infection has killed most of the people on this planet, why not have a city in which a nuclear reactor failed to function properly and melted, causing a radiation spill. This could allow all sorts of things. Geiger counters will be needed if you want to survive in that city, making the game even more difficult. Radiation suits might be needed to survive the most dangerous places. Anti radiation medicine in case people get radiated. That city could hold one of the best loot in the game, and should also be big, and would be very dangerous. Also , the radiation could add new enemies. I am reminded of S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat, the infamous bloodsuckers. Whilst this might be stretching it I think it would be awesome to be running from a pack of bloodsuckers through an abandoned city. What do you guys think ?

Well Dayz lags allot in cherno and elektro, the question is, if you make a city the size of Pripyat from S.T.A.L.K.E.R., would you actually be able to run it.

When I imagine the city in which the nuclear reactor melted down, I imagine a city with tones of apartment buildings that are really high and windowless and they could all be (or most of them) entered. This would allow a ton of sniping seeing as the city is huge and there are alot of windows and you could always climb onto the rough and snipe from there, but it would also allow a lot of CQB in the same buildings, seeing as there are many rooms. This would make the game really harder especially for lone wolfs, seeing as they would have to use all their skill and intellect to survive in an encounter. Just imagine sniping from a building alone , when a group of 3 or 4 people enter your 5 story building. You have to use booby traps , all sorts of lights and misguiding tools in order to take the whole group down and actually survive . This would make the game harder , and in return, more fun :P

I believe that minor cases of radiation poisoning can be healed , but when you are severely irradiated , it is very difficult to survive.

Exactly, even the city could be modeled after pripyat.

You cant open them. There is loot scattered around the crash site, but you can never open the heli. Also the loot is very close to the chopper so dont go looking 100m around the heli.

Server : DE 231 Cheater name : Kriggel Date : 7/12/2012 (M/D/Y) Time 9:05 pm (+2 gmt) I was in Cherno, looting the firestation when i encountered kriggel , and shot him dead . He had a m16a2 + czech backpack and some bits and bobs. A minute later Kriggel appears with identical gear inside the firestation , and I killed him again . I left the server immediately after that.

Ah ok, good to know :)

Yea but he could not respawn at the top of the fire station , there is no spawn point there .

Server : EU20 Time : around 3 PM (GMT +2) So I was going through Cherno with my brother looting various buildings when I got killed by a guy named Optimus prime . My brother kills him and i get my loot back . Not even 5 minutes later he shows up again with a remington 870 , we kill him again . Again after a couple of minutes he shows up again with a winchester and kills my brother, i kill him . This goes on for about 2-3 times and then he comes again , this time with a Lee Enfield and a grenade blows me up , my brother kills him . Then after we tried to run we died (probably killed by him) . We killed each other about 5 times and each time there was a 3-5 minute delay until he showed up and when he did he always had a weapon and sometimes a backpack. I'm not saying that he was definitely a hacker , but there is a high probability that he was spawning gear.
