I will play night when they fix the gamma exploit. Till then not worth it.

Its that time of day ingame when you turn gamma up so you can see.

Graphics: HDR improved and tweaked slightly to perform better with bright lights in scene (i.e. flashlights etc...) Graphics: Engine supported point source light objects (e.g. Gaslamp) now working correctly Both good ideas but pointless unless you lock down gamma and clouds settings to the server same as grass. No point using a flashlight if you can just increase the gamma or turn on or off the clouds to make it almost daytime.

Type experimental in the host name filter

After release. They should get the estimated current irl amount of ammo irl cherno get the Hive to keep a count then when its gone its gone no more ammo.

If you login ingame on the server as admin you can use direct and global chat. I know because I have used this when restarting the server.

Q : Is DayZ too Easy. A : Yes it is.

They should also take note that alot of the player base is saying its still too dumbed down

I am fine with the guns but I think the ammo should run out. At the moment the game has an unlimited supply of ammunition. I think the amount of ammo should be drastically reduced and eventually run out once crafted weapons are in place.

Remember 1 is Ex mil hes running fast and clapping with no problems, the other is a fat gamer who is limping along Flapping and wheezing like a... well I have no idea what Flaps and wheezes ? Normally at this point our communication silence has broken down and we are screaming "RUN AWAY" over direct coms :)

Oh Yes ... Me and ---- My M8 use hand signals :) quite funny really hes ex military and I am a fat gamer so we tried to come up with scenarios to relate to the hand signals ingame. 1. Hand up flat (STOP DANGER) 2. Point (OVER THERE) 3. Thumbs up (FRIENDLY - GOOD) 4. The Finger (KILL) 5. Clap (RUN THE FUCK AWAY)

Damn :( I do seem to remember m8s who had similar probs with acre and direct chat... not much help though, as I cant remember the solution :(

Nar. I must admit that the direct chat is definitely lacking in its quality. Though I do find it usable and preferable (in dayz) to the omnipresent TS. When me and my m8 play we find that you need to press..wait..talk..wait..release for it to not cut off what your saying, either at the start or end. Dunno if you have the same experience or not ?

Weird its fine for me and my m8.. as-long as we look at each other when talking (Works best when we stare into each others eyes and say "I LOVE YOU") but that could just be us ? But yer I agree it needs some work but I would say its better than using TS and the like for just the less "cheating"(1) it feels using only ingame. (1) DISCLAIMER : The word Cheating used only in reference to how it feels to certain individuals preferring to not use outside aps when playing DayZ. Not referring to anyone as a cheat who uses TS while playing DayZ.

You should play with me and my m8. We also restrict ourselves to never use out of game maps We do cheat a little when we start we will pick an area and say meet here ! over ts or steam. Then its ingame only. Quite scary to enter the rendezvous town and see someone not knowing if its your m8 or not and if you should say HEY ITS ME or not ...

Direct is directional TS and Skype and the like are not. You are probably just not used to the effect an audio prog has when its directional. Example : In arma when someone is using direct you need to face them to hear them properly. If your using a surround system then your gona have problems getting used to the difrence between TS none drectional sound and ingame directional sound.

I agree unfortunately there is no answer. Myself and a m8 get bored with the easy mode game play that DayZ offers so we restrict ourselves with new ideas every so often to increase the difficulty. This week we do not use TS when playing. The week before was no military loot. Before that was cant eat any food not given or taken from another player. Makes things less... noobish. Anyone can run around with 3rd person on using ts with gamma on full server hopping, combat logging, turning off shadows, disabling post-process and altering the tree and grass alpha all the time thinking yay I am good at this anti game :)

Try turning shadows to high or above.

ROFL kinda makes you wonder which is the official DayZ forums doesn't it :)

Dunno I just know that if its raining for me its raining for the guy stood next to me now :) Sorry that's about as far as my tests have gone today :P Our in-depth tests involved :- me "its raining" him "yer me too" me "it stoped" him "me too" me "its raining agian" him "yup" We are expert testers as you can see ! O yer run under trees and see how long it takes before you hate the bing "your wet", bing "now your not", bing "bla", bing "bla", bing "bla",bing,bing,bing,bing,bing,bing,

Yay weather is client side synced !

Nope they changed a spelling mistake on page 261 of Frankenstein.

Hello You should do some searches Based on Arma2 gfx settings not just about DayZ. The way some of the RV engine gfx settings work based on my own experiences and info gleamed from the webternet, Is that most of the settings we can alter if placed on or above high will determine if it uses GPU or CPU and getting the right balance of settings if your system is not a beast in both CPU and GPU can be a bit tricky and is difficult to balance depending on where your bottle neck is. If I remember right everything except shadows on or above High will use GPU whereas shadows is the inverse.(could be wrong though) Below will tend to use your CPU more than your GPU. Although I am going on old remembered stuff from Arma2 before they added in the new gfx elements into dayz. Any way that info seemed to help me even out any fps issues I had in the past. Hope that helps someone.

I agree with Eddy the Eagle ! But would add fix gamma exploit first
