Fraggle (DayZ)

DayZ is free. It's Arma you're paying for. Once you've installed Arma2 and Operation Arrowhead then start up Commander and ask it nicely to update/install DayZ and the Beta patch then you'll be good to go.

The Queen says no.

Nice one, I didn't get the blurriness you mention? That sound like post process effects, not sure TBH. Just double check what you've changed, glad it worked though :)

Swag.

Hi, my name's Fraggle and I'm an alcoholic.

Ok, check this thread: http://dayzmod.com/f...0-on-my-laptop/ Click on the link in that thread (it's clean, don't worry) and follow that guide. I didn't bother changing the field of view but the important bit seems to be turning off the AA for grass and so on. Like I say I was genuinely surprised how much smoother things ran for me although remember you can't polish a turd. Worth a try though. let me know if you get any results or have trouble following the guide and I'll try and talk you through it. Importantly the game actually looked a bit better too. Weird.

I've always had pretty good FPS but I found a guide on here recently and tried it (just doing my duties as a mod) and was surprised how much it improved my fps, it was quit dramatic. It doesn't use any software, you have to edit some files manually but it works. Hold tight, I'm gonna trawl through the posts and try and dig it out for you.

Sounds painful! In Russia humour laughs at you.

Anal rabies. Beaten only by facial chlamydia.

Nice one, that made me chuckle.

If I'm drunk I just go as the crow flies. If not i drive on the left as that is the correct side.

We're testing the SA now for capacity on one server. It's not a gameplay test yet. Regarding the mod on Steam, for anyone trying it: Right click and select Beta to ensure it runs correctly.

If you want to Whitelist be prepared to spend a month or two building up a steady playerbase. IMO it's by far the best way to do it but it takes time and initially more effort as you have to encourage people to come to your server to get on the list, after that it's plain sailing. If you want instant success then whitlisting isn't for you but be prepared to have daily headaches dealing with hackers and you're gonna need to know your way around the logs to keep your server clean.

Hmm, could you be more specific about your ban please? What is the exact ban message?

You can't get framed, that's not how it works. Read the stickies, contact Battleye. locked.

Read the devblogs.

Loved it. Made me feel squishy.

Nope. Although don't forget Rocket said Ivan (I think) may be involved in the next devblog which could be exciting.

No it's not single player, it's on a UK test server. Griff was just being a bit special and playing on his own instead of connecting properly. There really is nothing to report ATM. The best info for you guy's is still contained in the Devblog. It's just a capacity test, so it really is just to see how the server copes with a few of us connecting. Many of the new features are currently disabled. I've had a run around the map and I can say it looks lovely (especially the new clouds, WOW!) on default settings (medium) with a similar framerate that I can achieve on the mod with less fps drop in cities although it's worth remembering that this is a very early build. There honestly is nothing else to say at this point so please don't PM us asking for info or keys.

Did you run any dodgy scripts recently or use a stolen key?

Hmm, there's one on the tip of my tongue.... what was it again......

He's a she. Very nice girl too.

I was wondering if it was something to do (thought you'd gone full potato) but I think the initial kill was just un-provoked madness and this was the revenge hit.

I wanna see trip flares. I'm not sure what the proper name is but they have them in Arma2 already I think. When they're activated it shoots a flare into the sky and lights up quite a large area for 5 mins or so. It'd be a great way of lighting an area without giving away your position too much and a good way of lighting up sniper spots or tree lines.

You're basing your conclusions on the mod, this was only ever intended to provide a few hours fun for some friends yet here we are, not far from a fully fledged game being released. The problem with the mod is that there really isn't much content so once you've nailed how to survive, many people just start treating it as COD style game. The SA is dealing with this by adding many layers of complexity, meaning surviving in itself will be the main focus of your time and effort. Of course the PVP element will always be there as it should be, that's where the tension comes from.
