The best quality with my videocard.
taco241 replied to marshalsmit's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
With that CPU/ GPU combo, you should have no issues running the game smooth and great without much playing around. I get a fairly smooth gameplay (40-60FPS) on i5 2500K, 4GB RAM , and HD 6850. -
THE AWESOME CHERNARUS SERVER READ THIS POST!(SNIPERS)185.2.139.156 3340
taco241 replied to Reqq's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Toss in a whitelist, remove the "best spawn kit" and giving away loot to regular members and I might join. The fun in DayZ is working hard to get your loot. At least for me. -
double jumping please,

knock out option 4 the dayz stand alone
taco241 replied to deadman_with_hat's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Mace/bear spray or tear gas are the only reasonable options I can think of in game. -
knock out option 4 the dayz stand alone
taco241 replied to deadman_with_hat's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Yeah it's quite hard to knock someone out without killing them. A blunt blow to the head usually doesn't end the way it does in hollywood. -
When posting 40 minute videos, it'd be awesome if people highlighted the climactic parts to skip to. I skimmed it like a porn video, looking for the highlights. Didn't really find it though.
-
Yeah this looks like a promo video for an asshole. I woudn't have posted this shite (didn't watch video tbh).
-
I say, make bullets rare. Let that become the thing people barter for.

I switch between two monitors. I prefer using my 31" Apple Cinema display (2560x1600), but that's my work computer (graphic design) so when it's in use I default to my cheap 1440x900 LCD. Interestingly, I just did a run in Southern Panthera, the big city, Zappado, in the desert. My FPS was 60 the whole time I was in the area, which was about an hour. but then I looted a barracks, and my FPS dropped to high 30s-low 40s and stayed that way (I logged off 5 minutes later). Weird.

Varlun's Advanced DayZ Tips & Tricks Guide (Submit your own tips!)
taco241 replied to Varlun's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I kind of wish I hadn't read the duping info. I have never used it and I don't think I ever will, but I believe I'm in the minority. I know it counteracts some bugs but to me those bugs are just part of the survival challenge. Plus the temptation to give your buddy a copy of you gun ....just this once.... is too great (for many, not me). -
Varlun's Advanced DayZ Tips & Tricks Guide (Submit your own tips!)
taco241 replied to Varlun's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Some good suggestions. I would have skipped the duping tutorial or the Combat logging tip though. Good info on choppers. -
No. for the love of merciful Moses no. My gaming time is precious. Don't make me catch up on my Bieber tweets while I wait for a countdown to log back in.
-
I too am 35! And indeed DayZ is a nice break from Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders. PVP sucks in that game.
-
Ya this will be in the Standalone.
-
Sure thing. Here are my setting (these options were not selected with careful attention): Resolution: 1280 x 960 Texture detail: very high Video Memory: very high Anisotropic Filtering: Normal Antialiasing: Normal ATOC: All trees + Terrain Detail: High Object Detail: High Shadow detail: High Shadow Quality: Normal PPAA: FXAA (SharpNormal) Postprocessing: Low ...that's about it. I use Fraps to measure framerate. It caps out at exactly 60. So I don't know if that's a Fraps cap or just my true top FPS. Nothing is overclocked.

(SA) Use HINTS and LOADING SCREENS (yes, loading screens) in place of a tutorial (HAS PICTURES!!)
taco241 replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I don't mind hints on loading pages. I think it'd be helpful for new players. Remember, we were all noobs once. -
Ya I have no idea about server parameter. I'm just a player. I thought I'd eliminate the variables by recording my rates from different servers. Try logging in to another server (not your own) as a player and see what sort of numbers you get. I'd be curious
-
Ya this idea is sci-fi poopburgers. Thanks though, worth suggesting...again.

taco241 replied to colekern's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I think the devs need to post a basic tutorial/keybind sheet on the main page for noobs. I made this a long time ago for people to print and refer to while playing. -
CRAFTING - HARVESTING - SLEEPING - HOME SWEET HOME
taco241 replied to timedance's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Ya grab your meat as soon as you can. don't wait until you're hurt. I think sleeping could be OK as a log-off technique. You can do it near a bed or tent, then get back 10% health if you log back on an hour (or more) later. -
I only play whitelisted.My gaming experience has improved vastly. You'll get more "regulars", and a better community. We often still kill each other so the PVP aspect isn't necessarily hampered.
-
Happens sometimes.Have you tried a different server?
-
Yes. this will work well . A good 500W power supply WILL do the job.
-
If you're in Canada, and using the big providers, there are definite data caps. Example:you get about 20gigs/month for $40, up to 500GB/month for $225. Anyway, I did notice more warnings that I'm approaching my limit since playing DayZ, which I've never had while playing other games

changes in character through actions
taco241 replied to HashSlingingSlasher192's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I really don't understand OP's suggestions. Put a hand on his ear or blink more if he shoots a lot? Pretending the use of melee weapons? Are you suggesting players slowly turn schizophrenic?
