JESUSARIUS REX (DayZ)

I would like cars too, but if it takes you two hours to run across the map you're doing something wrong. I can spawn near kamenka and be at kamensk in about an hour, hour and a half tops, and that's WITH looting to get basic supplies. These new kids don't seem to remember how the early versions of the mod were worse than Standalone was sometimes. So many people complain about a buggy alpha. People don't seem to understand what the definition of alpha is. Normally you don't really bug squash until beta. If you don't like the game, play a mod version of DayZ or don't play at all until beta. I stopped playing the standalone during the era a few years ago it ran really bad. Came back a few weeks ago and it runs great besides the random FPS drop bug. Having a great time TBH. Most people have gotten their $30 worth of fun yet still complain. I don't get it. I've had more fun with DayZ than many AAA titles I payed $60 for. Thanks for the update. It's much appreciated.

First off, let me say that every system is different, and will require YOU to play around with settings. If you are having a lot of trouble, pm me, but don't message me unless you first try to fix it yourself. Also, I recommend you read the whole post first before doing anything. Now first off, if your not, I recommend using ArmA II launcher: http://www.armaholic...age.php?id=8241 . It's a extremely easy to use launcher that allows you too load things up easily. There are tutorials of how to setup DayZ in this launcher, so look it up on the youtubes or gooogles. Here is a tutorial on how to set up Dayz with the launcher. I DID NOT MAKE THIS TUT AND TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT. Watch from 6:00 on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib73cBf_-Ys Now after you have it setup go to launch options. Make sure to click Run Beta, and set your CPU count to the maximum number of cores of your CPU. Also, some good options to choose include: No splash screen= to shorten loading time select default profile= select the character you want to play dayz with Default World: Chernarus= Shorting load times, as the map is already loaded rather than the OA default. Now onto the part most people might not know. Go to your documents, then arma 2. You will see ArmA2OA.cfg Open it up You will see this stuffs The stuff in red is the stuffs that matters!!! Now i will explain everything and what is. However i will save FXAA, FSAA, and for last as they are kinda tricky. PostFX will be in the in game section. Resolution: Your Hud(maybe?) and interface resolution. This should be set to your monitors resolution if you play full screen. Goes in hand with Render Render_W and Render_H: THIS SHOULD MATCH YOUR MONITOR RESOLUTION IF YOU WANT YOUR GRAPHICS TO LOOK GOOD!(may or may not be possible dependent on pc specs) This is the resolution the 3D game world is rendered in. GPU_MaxFramesAhead: First of all I only know how to change this on Nvidia cards. First open up your control panel, go to manage 3D setting, then scroll down to prerendered frames option. Set this to its maximum amount. Then go to your .cfg file and type the number you set in the control panel into this setting. IE mine was four, others may have eight ETC. VSync: Vertical Sync, in a basic description, is a setting that limits your framer rate to 60 FPS in order to prevent screen tearing with cards running in SLI. KEEP THIS OFF UNLESS YOU GET SCREEN TEARING AS IT IS VERY RESOURCE INTENSIVE! ALSO TURN IT OFF IN YOUR NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL! AToC: Level of Alpha To Coverage Anti-Aliasing. This setting basically effects the Anti-Aliasing of your trees and grass. For best performance, set this to 0, although this can give your grass and trees a silvery look. I prefer mine on 5 so the setting only works on the trees and grass of Chernarus. The wiki cna help you with this setting: http://community.bis.../wiki/arma2.cfg FXAA and FSAA: This is the main Anti-Aliasing(AA) setting in ArmA II. FXAA: This is where a Nvidia card can Shine. Basically, FXAA is AA that takes very little memory in comparison to the AA setting in ArmA. I actually have my AA disabled in the ArmA settings, and have FXAA set to 2 in the config. Make Sure to Set this to ON in the control panel. If you don't have this, try updating your drivers. FXAA is Available to Nvidia cards only! FSAA: This is the AA setting you see when you open the graphics menu in game. ONLY SET THIS TO LOW(1 in config) OR NORMAL(2 in config) AS ANY HIGHER SETTING USES MORE RESCOURCES WITH NOW VISUAL DIFFERENCE. PPAA: Just Set these at Zero. My Nvidia Settings: In Game Settings: Now i color coded this SET UP RED SETTINGS FIRST THEN TROUBLE SHOOT THE GREEN SETTINGS. THESE WILL CHANGE BASED ON YOUR HARDWARE! LAST SET THE BLUE. ALSO VERY HARDWARE DEPENDENT! ORANGE CAN BE DONE AT ANY TIME. MAKE THEM THE SAME AS MINE. Better Version incase you cant see this one: http://dl.dropbox.co...34/settings.bmp PostFX: Post proccesing effects. This can help choose the settings for you: Disabled: color corrections only Very Low: Disabled + filmGrain + radial blur + dynamic blur Low: Very low + bloom + rotational blur + other scripted post process effects Normal: Low + DOF + lowest SSAO High: Normal + medium SSAO VeryHigh: Normal + highest SSAO Also, disabled - low primarily allows you to customize game appearance, Normal - Very High is heavily affecting performance but SSAO quality is the only difference. ****From the Bohemia CEO My PC specs: CPU: 2.8 GHZ Core 2 Duo RAM:6GB DDR2 GPU: Nvidia GTX 550 TI MOBO: SH*TTY ASS FOXCON DELL OEM THATS BAD FOR GAMING BUT OWELL Example of my graphics: Hope i could some people out! ~JESUS

Wait, is the entire map an island now? Because the original map never had any edges like this

I actually got teleported onto the lower roof of an airfield control tower, and had to jump and it broke my legs lol.

They made two hives for a reason. No offense, but this whole movement against 3rd person is dumb. You have hardcore servers. I personally use both, and like it the way it is. If i want third person, I play regular. If I want a more realistic experience, I play hardcore. Third person isn't "realistic" in the first place, so trying to make it more "fair" is pointless. And so what if you can peak around corners. So can everyone else, so its not really an exploit or unfair advantage.

I can tell you right now the main issues is hardware utilization. Both me and my friend can run full graphics in the woods (270x and gtx 760), but cities we get an average of 20, and our gpus are only at around 50% utilization.

This was a big issue in the mod when they were messing with zombie mechanics. My guess is the dev team is trying to find the right balances of respawn and aggro. I had died from zombies spawning right in front of me (literally) in the mod days, and its happening now too. I go and punch one, and three or four spawn or run from across a town.

So join a day server? There are plenty of them that aren't "40/40". Also, loot it isn't hard to find if you get off the coast..

I think the idea of items persisting after restart is great, however, I think anything dropped by a player should only persist for 3 days to a week to prevent servers from "purging" all items to reduce lag. Like an item in a building will last a week, but an item left in the woods will slowly deteriorate and last 3 days to week depending on the item. Ie a shirt lasts 3 dayz and a guns or box lasts a week.

Honestly the map and compass are completely useless. If the map had the location of water on it then I might have I use for it.

I haven't seen a single hacker, so it's WAY better than the mod.

Not trying to be mean, but anyone who has music on is a fool. Have fun dancing while I sneak up behind you. Maybe you would have lived if you heard my footsteps.

Adding identification literally ruins the game. The whole point of player encounters is to add tension. With skins it completely removes that aspect of DayZ, unless you're straight up in a firefight. And please. The game is SOOOO easy right now it's not even funny. This is a cakewalk compared to the mod, and adding skins would just make it even easier.

my character has been healthy for months.

some people lost there character. some people, like me, had there character rolled back a week.... some like you are apparently just fine. ALSO, the profile did bring my old character back, but then i spawned on the beach when i joined a game. then i rejoined and was back to where i started. 1 week rollback.

i lost my acog and hunting backup... oh well lol. edit: This is the first time i've been annoyed by the alpha.... change it back to steam usernames... please.... also, i can't even put my name in because it's to long...

exactly. base building is what rocket wants to implement. I would love to build a shallow, hidden, underground base on a server lol.

I found this hilarious. Great job!

Actually, i was thinking it would be a good idea to find a Sphygmomanometer to measure you blood pressure, and thus your "blood" without a health bar. That way people have to learn what blood pressures are healthy and what is dangerously low.

How i set up my game: 1920x1080 vsync on Textures: vram-auto textures-high texture filtering(anistropic filtering?)-very high Quality: Objects-high Terrain-high clouds-normal shadows-disabled rendering: AA-disabled ATOC-disabled Edge smoothing-disabled HDR quality- low(highest setting) Ambient occlusion-disabled post processing-disabled bloom and blur are off. I am using a single 550 ti, as DayZ doesn't support sli. System specs i5 4670k (stock) 8gb gkill ripjaws @ 2133 2x 550 ti SLI (only 1 being used) 1TB seagate barracuda 7200 rpm My game is always playable, even in cities. mind you not huge 60 fps, but always playable (30-40). I have no idea how you can't play with a 780/770/760/660. My friend has a 760 FTW edition, and he can max dayz no problem. My guess would be you guys don't have good enough cpu's or driver issues.

No need to be an asshole. Yes, this info he posted is common knowledge, but geeze....

I also can recommend, if you have the money, getting a i5, even if its locked. If you don't though, a fx-6300 is a great processor. And I'd also recommend getting a 760 or equivalent with at least 2gbs of vram. I have 1gb and it bites me in the ass on certain games. Also, with windows, you don't need a optical drive. I installed windows 8 on my build via usb. Edit: as in the amd equivalent of 760 with at least 2gbs of vram.

1st off, ozelot, I can't help but to think you're a troll, #1 by the random hate for the .22lr being implemented and #2 most of your arguments seem intended to piss people off. Not trying to be offensive, but you ARE acting like a troll. On topic: I'd love to see a .45 acp and .22 1911. Carry my .45 for protection, and the .22 for them zombies.

i think food spawns should be greatly reduced, and animals given realistic habits so you HAVE to hunt to survive, and also LEARN how to hunt semirealistically

I wish i would log in prone, like the mod used to. I also wish i logged in with a gun in my hand, ie, i have a mosin in hand and a m4 on back.
