You really should tell Rocket that he is working for Bohemia, they might be late, or actually really really late, on his paycheck since he has said it many times that he isn't working for them at the moment, last time he said it was on a podcast just a week ago. But, since you are obviously so sure that he is getting paid for this.. I think you should contact him ASAP and let him know that Bohemia is holding on to his Benjamins. I think he just moved or something and I wouldn't be surprised if had a few other things to do than just working on this project 24/7. He is giving us a new patch every week or two which isn't bad for a 1 man team.

Are you 'going out'? Of the closet? Okeeyy.. 1.7.2.5 isn't out though <.<

Depends on how you define 'real life'. Sure, it would be rather hard to find a anti material sniper rifle today but you must realize that once all hell breaks loose and infected people are everywhere the first thing that happens is the military takes over. That means there are AS50's everywhere, so to speak, on every corner, intersection, major and minor city, airport, train station and all over the place there are heavily equipped soldiers with big boi guns.

This. Sucks. From a quick google search I found out that there is apparently a new BE bypass for sale (lol) by a known group. All we can do is hope that BE is on top of things and there is a ban wave coming within the next few days. ps. it looks like we are dealing with 500+ script kiddies seeing how that site has had almost 900 unique registered users in the past 24 hours.. and that is just one site I looked at.. no idea how many of these are out there.

This is basically the same a 'flushing' the graphics, all you are doing is making the game render everything again and most of the time it works but sometime it doesn't. You could also just put Vertical Sync on and then take it off again, same thing.

Actually, Rocket (you know the dude who made the mod?) said it, let me quote him on that: Red text is my doing to make my point clearer.

Remove 'stupid posts' ..more realistic...

I read or heard somewhere that Rocket is the only one that actually 'modding' the game, I'd see we give the guy a little break and enjoy the game as it is. I might be completely wrong and I'm too lazy to actually find the source/interview.

It is cheating if you have no trees and or rocks, might as well just get a wallhack while you are at it.

I actually somewhat like this idea, that the 'realism' of survival is not up to par - so to speak. But, I think that the Arma 2 game itself, not engine, is holding the DayZ team back with upping the realism of the whole survival aspect. The Arma 2 (and 3) engine is full of potential and I hope that once the game becomes a stand alone product we will be forced to respond correctly to the hostile environment or be killed, e.g.: if you are running the blazing sun you'll need to drink a lot and make sure you don't get exhausted from all the heat. if you are running in the rain you'll get cold eventually and have find shelter and something to keep you warm - exposing you to other risks. animals that are threatening to survivors - bears, wolfs, etc - and even infected animals. etc. etc. the list goes on.. But like I said, with the current game mechanics and how the Arma 2 game is, I think Rocket and the DayZ team has taken it pretty much as far as a mod can go. Once it goes stand alone I hope the survival aspect is turned real hardcore, at least so far that you'll have to be constantly on your toes when ever you log in and not just jamming the 'W' key down for the next 5-10 minutes. I also think that this might be a good solution regarding the whole 'too much PvP - QQ' that has been going on lately, once players are immersed in surviving they will have to think twice before they crack the sky with a as50 round that might gain some unwanted attention - PvE or PvP. This game is full of potential and I really hope that it will live up to it once it becomes the long awaited stand alone product that they keep dangling in front of us.

Actually, he provides the environment and people get to choose how they respond to and use it. e.g. if I want to go on a killing spree, or at least attempt one, with nothing more than empty tins that is my prerogative - so to speak.

From my experience, when you put on new clothing it's like the game teleports you into the water/ocean and that causes you to drop your backpack just like when you go to deep into any water. So, I'd recommend like a few others have above me to drop the backpack, put on the camo/ghillie and then pick up the backpack.

This was 'Busted' by DayZ Mythbusters right here: skip to 01:00.For those of you wondering why you tend to lag behind or the other way around has probably something to do with latency/ping. The higher your ping the more 'accurate' information the server has of your location and those with a bit higher ping tend to lag behind those with lower ping.

Ignorant shit? Lol. You claim that you aren't allowed to 'protect our servers' yet in your first post you claim that you have banned 5 people from you server. How is that not being able to 'protect your server'? What more do you want? You never mention 'protecting our server' in the first post beside how you banned those 5 hackers, you go rambling on how they (DayZ team) should fix hackers, which they can't until it's a stand alone game (read my previous post). So, since you have established that you do know about Arma 2, go bark up the right tree my little child.

I think you are barking up the wrong tree. You might have heard of the game Arma 2, its name has been mentioned a few times on these forums. DayZ is a mod of that game, I hope this is not news to anyone here. As you may or may not know, Rocket and the DayZ team has a limited options to prevent and catching hackers. The mod is not at fault here, it's game that the mod is running on. I'm fairly certain that Rocket knows that the game is nothing without its players and shutting down the servers will only cause him more troubles (qq rage on the forums, etc) and do no good. If you want to actually do something, go to the Arma 2 forums, contact BIS or BE and ask them to do something. Hurting DayZ (the mod, remember?) isn't going to help anyone, go to the source of the problem. This is like going to a restaurant and raging at the waiter because the chefs fucked up.. IMO, shutting down the servers = hackers win, even though it's only temporary.

BIG YELLOW TEXT :thumbsup: edit: This probably will get lost in the over9k posts but is it possible to do the same with locked servers?

I have a pretty decent rig, i5-2500k core, 8 gig of memory and a radeon 6950 2 gig graphics card. On a medium populated DayZ server I get about 65-75 fps in the middle of a forest with Vsync and AA off. This has my GPU running at 85-99% and my CPU about 45-55%. With AA on 'Very high' it drops down to 50-55 fps, with Vsync on it drops to 48-52 fps. The fps seems to be more steady with AA and Vsync on but with it off I get about 20 fps boost. Well, that doesn't really answer my question. I'm asking why and how the server is able to affect your computer. The only things that I could think of was the 'Distance' settings which is set by the server and how the server attaches zombies to the first player entering the 200m radius of the town, other than that I have no idea how a 'crappy' server gives you 'crappy' fps. If the server is unstable and is dropping packages that is considered net lag, right?

Can you clarify this for me, how exactly does the server impact the clients pc performances?

Nope, Rocket has said many times that they are infected and not full on zombies. Also, this affects PvP more than PvE if you ask me, 10 M1911's bullets in chest? No problem, I got a bandage!

There is nothing to 'believe', those are facts. The dayzdb staff looked at the content of the 1.62 update and found those number in the weapons.pbo file (might be wrong about the file but they still found the info within the game files). It's not like they talked to the ArmA 2 fairy that pulled those number out of her ass.

Can't wait for this, keep up the good work Mr. Rocket.

Uhh.. you can't just say it's 05:02 in Europe, last time I checked Europe had a few different time zones. Anyways, he said 25th GMT (which is in Europe!) and it's the 26th 03:08 GMT time as I write this. But it's a 'target date' so it might delay.. if does not come out today it will probably be on Monday.

Are you, by any chance, related to Yoda? Perhaps a distant uncle?
