On the note of new weapons, i'd much rather see a considerably smaller parade of NATO weapons, almost all of them are US weapons to boot. New weapons do need to be added but civilian ones, Mosin Nagants, Winchester Hunting rifles in .308winmag, SKS for the low tier military weapon, make AK variants much more rare and half of them should be an AK-100series variant. More shotguns, almost all shotguns in the game are military versions of civilian weapons, most shotguns are civilian, militaries mostly use them in rearguard and clearing actions.

Stop fucking shooting everyone you see on sight, problem solved i've met plenty of actual survivors i didnt kill.

I've never witnessed this hypothetical despawn of loot on login, it just simply doesnt spawn it until someone approaches the area from further away, zombies spawn much closer in so you can easily have zombies spawn but no loot. I havent tested the actual range of loot spawning but its atleast 200m+

Certainly it cant always be super realistic but this is blatantly idiotic and an obvious design flaw easily corrected with fifteen minutes of coding. We had this happen to us on orange engine and we hit the smallest frigging bush thats still an object and it blew up.

Generally speaking i play where its disabled, means nubsies dont get lucky and they'll actually have to aim heh.

Im not that annoyed by these jokers, more easy loot for me hah.

Please sticky as this has now helped six different people i play with and each have noticed a substantial increase in FPS but most importantly on smoothness. The game is normally configured to use only 1500 megs of ram dedicated and it doesnt use dedicated threads. Add these to your startup parameters in six launcher options or into your shortcuts target line after the "" mark at the end (make sure theres a space between each command plus the target exe) -maxMem=<2047> -maxVRAM=<1024> -cpuCount=<6> -exThreads=<7> -world=empty MaxMeM 2047 if you got 3gigs or more ram, setting it higher will not help as its hardcoded at that level. maxVRAM set it 100megs or so below your maximum so you dont have any trouble alt tabbing. CPU count, how many cores you want to utilize (virtual cores included, ex: intel hyper threads) exThreads the way extra threads for different tasks are supplied: 3 or 5 for dual cores, 7 for quad and higher core numbers. worldempty will simply help with the initial loading time of the game. SOURCE: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters Hopefully this will allow you to enjoy the game more, personally i got a whopping 40% performance increase on a modern med-high end PC. I cant guarantee that you'll enjoy as high an increase but it will definitely help to some degree.

If you keep running fullspeed after line of sighting the mob it'll still hear your running steps. Crouch running after you get a little distance and line of sight the zombie is enough. Theyre a lot easier now, barns work quite finely for example, run through it then turn when outside the other side and crouch run away.

I tested in multiple scenarios, mostly in cherno area though due to the high amount of objects. Restarts between every setting change etc. Ever since i started using the optional settings my FPS has never dropped below 50.

The respawn timer would severely impact the scared cowardly survivor more than anyone else. It sure as hell wouldnt make me think twice about shooting the guy approaching my position without a way to avoid him seeing me. I generally avoid contact with most people, i rob people sometimes when im moving in a group, sometimes we outright kill them if the risk is deemed unnecessarily high.

Most bugs in software do occur on monday mornings and friday evenings, for obvious reasons. Company i last worked in never released a build on fridays, monday version isnt that bad since theres always tuesday.

NOTE FOR IGNORAMUSES: Some countries actually have ISP's that allow unlimited bandwidth, 100/100Mbit connections with no limitations (no hidden clauses either etc throttling and such). My second connection has a bandwidth usage of approximately 6-9 Tera Bytes per month regularly. I have no opinion of my own on should they allow home hosting or not but dont spread ignorant bullshit on the forums the internet is full of it enough as it is fucking tards. EDIT: Two static IPs costs me 5 euros a month. If you want service from your ISP demand it and cancel your contract if they dont offer the service you require, only morons pay for something that doesnt fulfill their needs.

Server is playing with 3-5 people on, admin kicking everybody else out of the game consistently. Not sure how long this has been going on but me and a buddy of mine got kicked nonstop for quite awhile and couldnt join later either. Time of occurrence is time of this post minus 15-30 minutes.

Quagmire propably got annoyed by someone asking a stupid question (yeah those do exist claims to the contrary not withstanding). The information requested can be found in a few hundred youtube videos and on the page that says download DayZ. Apparently some people cant tie their shoe laces either.

Obviously some form of bug, either on the servers end of not sending the data to the hive (database where everyones information is) or you joined a server running a vastly different version of the game.

Funny thing is i've found a hatchet that was already reloaded (ya ya i know..) but the other day i met two guys in electro supermarket at the same time, everyone was armed and nobody was killed. Were still playing as a group after that.

Welcome to Chernarus, you lasted about 3-5 minutes longer than most first timers i've seen, now i've been known to kneecap the occasional noob with 15+ zeds and leave him for lunch im just as likely to snipe the zombies off his ass.

We dont need magic tools for revival, if anything what would be useful is more complexity to the healing business that would encourage some level of specialization. The 12000 blood does not symbolise the entire amount of blood in your body but rather 12k being fully healthy and 0 being the point of death which would come quite a ways before 200ml mate.

MadTommy dont dump your guns, dump basic tools, one tent can hold 10 weapons/tools so ditch any tools in the tent and you can store 10 guns in there, it can also hold 50 generic items (bloodbag, ammo, tincans flares etc) and a few backpacks not sure which. Do not store more than the absolutely necessary tools in the tent if you want to keep multiple weapons in it.

I've seen them a few times, i'll take note to pick some rounds for it next time i find it. If i do find some i'll settle for an SVD Camo or AS50 but thats getting ahead of time, yeah we'll keep an eye out for them.

Yeah just remember any time you go there you run a relatively high risk of dying even if youre a really good player or even an actual professional. It is simply not possible to eliminate all risk in all situations so when you go in there always weigh the risks what you lose vs what you potentially gain.

It was quite clear from the original post already that the person clearly just wants to get empty night time servers so he can loot the barracks or cities in safety, sorry but the game relies on real danger to your virtual character. Im the special kind of asshat that will punish you for your stupidity ingame.

I'll be fine with killstats only if it counts kills of players that have been alive for more than 6 hours ingame time.

I've not a clue if the OP already revealed him/herself to be a troll or not but this has gotta be a frigging joke, gender indeed is binary, it sure as hell aint our problem if some people have difficulty accepting that. Someone needs to read a bit more about biology.

Dont call for bans and shit, no harm in them voicing their opinions. What would be more useful is to teach them how to survive without the starting weapon easier so they wont even need it and that would also eliminate the chance of it ever coming back.
