Screw around with your graphics options. It may take a while, but you will isolate the problem.

Decent read, but please use proper spacing next time for a more enjoyable read. The amount of people on these forums that can't produce proper paragraphs is astounding.

I beat down a person with my bare hands because I thought they were a zombie. Does that count? Also, I eat beans out of a can on a regular basis.

Glad I have never crossed any persons that you all have spoke of. Maybe it's just a recent abuse of power, but there wasn't that much corrupt behaviour a mere 2 months ago. Sad, sad admins.

Wait a few more days. I guarantee that Steam will have a real ARMA 2 sale.

I know the feeling. I was all for it when it first was released to the public, like very early release before all the zombie fans. Since then I've moved on, mostly due to un-solvable performance issues that popped up back in 1.5. It's hard to stay committed sometimes to a game like this, especially when the mod is buggy and totally alpha-y/beta-x. This is my first post in a few months and I'm not planning on going back to playing just yet either. It's nice to see it progressing however.

Wish I had a big dog so it could kill the massive raccoon that is around my house. Stupid Canadian gun laws. On topic, dogs would be a cool addition but only if they obeyed commands of some form.

Video games... they are the number one stress in a gamers life.

The female models cannot use the alternate costumes as of now. Here is a link to a thread that has pictures. Check the 4th post. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8088

The guy is still alive apparently, although he has no nose or eyes. If he does "turn", well then we will have a pandemic within the coming week. Happy holiday for you Americans!

I often get kicked form the server due to one of the following reasons: 1. I get a massive lag spike and the server boots me out. This usually happens as I am trying to receive my character data. 2. My anti-cheat decides that I am cheating, and I get kicked for a false-positive. This also happens during the loading process.

Thank you good sir. I was getting very low kb/s as well. +1 for your generosity.

I use my hands to drink water because I am old school. I've also had a bad experience drinking out a a tin can while camping. Cut my lip up pretty bad because of a hack-job opener. Maybe we could also make "telephones" out of them for short range communication. Wouldn't that be a laugh.

What if instead of physical objects (i.e. a empty plastic bottle), an option to "check for tracks" could be used. This would be a chance based action, and if it worked, you would get an estimate of the last time someone was in the area? Using the 3x3 grid reference would make sense. A direction would take time to work though. Easiest way (not that it should be done), would to have "trackers" on each person (i.e. a pointer). This would allow the player who used the tracking option to identify the location of the tracked person through a series of communication through the grid locations, based on the reference of where you (the tracker) are currently. Having 10 people (just an estimate) doing this at one time probably would possibly add more strain on the already taxed servers. A work around would be to allow the person to do it only once every 30 minutes to an hour. Finally, I agree with Doktor's points though. I've never really had trouble knowing when someone was just recently in the area. TLDR; It is a cool idea, but would require a lot of work to make it work properly, and possibly tie up the servers even more.

Yes, as it is in Alpha stage. Here is an explanation that is pinned to the top of the forum. Please read it if you have time, it will probably answer your questions. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3502

Even though my rig can't handle it properly, I run high settings at 1920x1080. I like to live on the edge. Get around 25 FPS average.

MERICA says it needs to be Fahrenheit.

Wow. I can actually download it now at a reasonable speed. Was getting <10kb/s off the server today. Thanks!

I remember people actually trusting their fellow player during the first few weeks to a month when this mod was released. The saturation of the game has now brought all the unsavory types into the fray to "Cock of Dooty" it up. We all just need to adapt for the time being, until Rocket gets the things he thinks will make the mod better, then he will address this shit in more detail.

Where did all these crazy kids come from? Calling each-other names and shit. On topic, I will miss my Winny. It served me well during the Bean War.

When the hell did this become Cock of Dooty? Good job on messing that barn up though.

I thought this was a joke post, turns out it was the entire time.

Quiver can be changed to a "magazine" of 3-4 arrows which would only take 1 space in inventory. Scope needs to be implemented. Crossbows without some form of scope is really uncommon in this day and age.

Great idea. I was thinking about the effects of me not being able to find water in the North besides just "dieing". Can't wait to see more.

Lone survivors takes out a band of 5 bandits all armed to the teeth. I watch it from a hill through my binoculars. This was on a "hardcore" server, no way they could have pulled it off otherwise. One of the best things I've seen.
