Last night I was on my way to disconnect for the evening, it was 4 am so I needed some sleep. I heard a rifle shot, I think it was a sniper cause of the sound. I only had a gun so I though it was best to run away and hide. I ran for a while and hide under a tree, waiting to see if he was chasing me but didnt see anything so I don't even know if the bullet was meant for me. Anyways after a while I disconnected not using alt-f4. Is this considered cheating? I mean how can they know if I disconnected during a fight or not?

Thanks both of you :) Well I do consider it cowardness bigtime <_<

Ah sounds good cause I just hate people using alt-f4. I was about to try to find him at first but what the fuck, not even soldiers would be as stupid to hunt down a sniper with a makarow when he probebly have you in his sight with a sniper rifle :P

Yes this is a problem BUT, and I know this from experience, if you try to use direct chatt or voice to say your friendly (if you even have the time to say F) you have mostly at the highest 5% to survive. Most people are paranoid and so am I. I don't like to kill, I don't do it for the loot either only to survive in this game and save my friends. If I die I can't protect them either. Most times you need to shoot first or get killed so yes, I shoot most of the times. I don't go hunting survivors though like many others do. It's almost impossible to change this world into peace and its the same in the real world (thank God not everyone in the real world have a weapon). Yesterday my brother and I was playing. We were in Cherno in almost total darkness and rain. My brother saw a survivor and he shot on sight, I would have done the same to save him and me. We found out that this poor guy didn't even have a weapon nor any good stuff on him. I was sorry for him but also I was glad that he didn't loose anything important and can start over to hit Cherno again. When people have good stuff I recomend to stay out of dangerous spots and try to survive outside. They who still wan't to hit the dangerous spots, take the risk and deal with it.

I get it everytime I play and I usually log out and in again. It's fine for a short while then it usually shows up again. It's frustrating but its totally playable and it's an Alpha so I don't mind. It will be fixed eventually :)

Oh yes it's totally Rockets fault that people bought Arma II/CO to play Dayz even though they knew this is an Alpha. Damn you Rocket for making this awesome mod! I really feel sorry for Rocket and I'm glad that there are people who take this game as it is, an Alpha and enjoy it and can wait for it to get better and minimize the glitches cause if there was only whiners who doesn't give a fuck about all the work Rocket puts into this mod I would if I was Rocket, totally stop working with this game and let you all whiners stay with a partly non top notch Alpha! I really get pissed of all you egoistic suckers who just think about yourself and your damn Dayz!!!! Yeah I will get so many people pissed cause I say this but I don't give a fuck!

Haha you know much about my life for being a stranger but you know what? I won't defend myself cause I don't need to. Energy should be spent on those things who deservs it, you? Na I don't think so -hugs and kisses-

I'm not whining about computer problems untill I see em and if I need a better computer later its all about priority BUT just cause you might have a hardcore computer doesnt make you more of a "gamer". Everyone can't afford to buy high end stuff or they wan't to spend some money on real life fun too, I mean for us who have a real life so having that said your comment sucks. Btw I have a gay fag computer and you know what? I soooo love it with the pink ribbons and sparkles, I don't mind he is gay.

We have loads of people without food, loads of sick people and we have people that have a real life outside Dayz.....oh I forgot, we have those people without a life whos life depends only and I say only on Dayz being top notch. This is a Alpha, don't know how many fu..ng times people have to say this! I don't think Rocket delays the patch only to make people go away, he have a reason so just chill! Well maybe he do it to get rid of you whiners out there <_<

I searched the forum but didn't get any hits on either radeon nor ATI so this is my question. Anyone using Radeon HD6950 2gig? I get like 20 fps in towns, 25-35 in woods, isn't this a bit low? My former GFX card was Geforce 275GTX and I can't see much of a difference or is it just me? I know HD6950 should be about 30% better then the 275GTX. These are my video settings Texture Detail very high Video memory very high Anosotripoc filtering very high Antialiasing normal Terrain detail very high objects detail very high shadow detail normal HDR quality normal Post processing effects normal Interface res 1920 x 1080 3D res 1920 x 1080 If someone knows how to setup the card in Catalyst Control Center for best performance (under gaming/3d application settings) I would be a happy man :) Cheers!

Thanks a lot for all aswers. It seems like my system should be able to run this game on mostly very high but most of the bad things is in Dayz. As I wrote earlier. If someone overclocked their HD6950 I would appriciate if you told me what parameters you changed and to what value. I tried it but Dayz froze after 10 min and I try to stay away from flashing the bios and turn it into a HD6970 cause of the risk of bricking it. Btw I use afterburner for clocking, kombustion and 3dmark 11 for benchmark.

My system is totally fresh so no need fr defrag. I only have 4gig ram though and I don't know how much Arma uses. Don't think it's my cpu though, might be the ram.

Ok this is what I found out 1. If turning memory usage to default I get about 10 fps drop then when using very high so yes, this should not be set to default for everyone. 2. When I look at my GPU Activity under CCC, it says while playing 99% so yes it uses my GFX card to the limit 3. I checked my cpu cores and they say 100% on all 4, noone seems to be parked @zq7 I looked at the link you sent me about the parameters but it seems like they only describe how to do with Arma bought from steam. Well anyways I've turned off both AA and set post processing to low and of course I get higher fps I'm just a bit disapointed that my card can't handle more then this.

I reasently did a new install of win 7 so I will check this, thanks

Mhm I've noticed cause my fps dropped from 20 to 8 and stayed there, same with my buddy but my general fps on servers is about 20 in towns. When I run Arma 2 I get better fps actually

i5 2.8 ghz, not the best I know Ok, I know the post processing and AA takes more of the gfx card just wanted the extra nice gfx I guess ^^ Thanks a lot, I will try that

As the poll show, we need more girls!

Maybe but not at all important. There are so many things to be fixed and adds thats more important imo.

Instead of having a one hit from a Zed and then start to bleed (happens almost everytime and that is not realistic) you could have the Zeds be able to grab you and hold you for a short period if your close enough then bite you (eat on you) untill you break free. That would make the bleeding more realisitc and it would sure make it more scarrier imo.

Totally agree with you and this must be fixed even if they don't inplement the grabbing thing

Yeah they use that system in another game or games so that could work. I totally agree with you. I don't want this before DayZ is working properly. Haha when I read some of the posts I see that many think I wan't to make this game even harder and thats not what I meant, I just wan't more diversity and more realism. I think this game is quite hard anyways or might just be me ;)

Good idea

I can't say it is to easy right now but then I'm not a hardcore gamer. The thing is I wan't as much realism as possible and it's not realistic to start to bleed that much just from one hit (unless you get nosebleed from your nose falling off) but if they could grab you when you are really close and take a bit out of your shoulder, then the bleeding is realistic.

I also agree about the one hit bleeding thing. I wish Zeds wouldnt make you bleed by hitting you but instead sometimes they could grab you and bite, eat, on you for a short period untill you get out if its grip. This would also only be possible if you are really close to Zeds.

I agree, dawn or night is the best time to avoid Zeds and players but it is scary :P
