I would have no problem to play on populated server at night. * But there is no fun, since 80% of every server will just use the exploit. - Thus the reason you never see any flares or chem lights. If people played the game legit. * It would be awesome, but that is not the case. Personally, I use the exploit. * Change brightness, gamma, hdr. - Why? Because everyone else is doing the same thing. * If your armed with rare weapons and great gear, your not going to give any chances to someone that is using the same trick. - Personal Suggestion - * If rockets is going to bring back the setting to the standalone. - Do not let people change the settings over 1.0 - Or they would just be kicked from the server. - Or just have the limit set to 1.0

Just before this thread is buried into the eternity of the unknown. For those interested in the FoV change * Good News : You will be able to see more things around you, and the sniper scopes work fine. * Bad News : Is due, to the fact you can see more, more objects on your screen are loading, thus you have a massive FPS drop. If your system is already struggling with this game. * Do not apply this FoV change. Also before you start changing the config file. * Save your old data on a separate notepad or word document.

That is what many players are trying to figure out. * But after screwing around in the editor. I personally believe it has got to do with the buildings being destructible. * Certain buildings have sections of which can be destroyed, depending where you fire from. - Of course, only explosive or large caliber weapons can do this type of damage. - But the code is still there. Go ahead, and try the editor. * Then destroy a building with satchels. - The FPS drop is huge, not to mention that certain buildings are "Very" buggy. - Where at times they cause an "area of effect" of death. Basically if you walk too close to the destroyed building. * At random times, the buildings will 1st make to blood, break your legs. - Then the next invisible wave will kill you. That glitched happened quite often on the map "Namalsk" * Most often at the large rail road bridge. - What happened at times, if your destroyed a section with satchel charge. - It would then start a chain reaction, thus destroying more bridge parts, due to the aoe building damage.

Yup, just got a perfect head shot on a civilian target at 630 m. * I'll record it for you. *Here

Just tested the 107. * Target 600m , adjusted the zeroing at 600. - It's hitting the target dead on.

Actually, mine is working fine. * Testing right now, with a M40A3. - I am hitting my target dead on, at 600m. Want a video of me testing? * I'll keep trying other sniper rifles.

I didn't know... * Would be nice if there was a sticky about this. Remember an old thread poll talking about 1st person versus 3rd person. * That a hundred plus votes didn't like the 1st person FoV, thus they prefer 3rd person. - This would be nice to know. Fancy scopes?

Yup it works. * I'll make another thread in-regards to FoV - It's going to help allot of people playing 1st person servers. Old FoV fovTop=0.75; fovLeft=1.3333334; 1920 x 1080 resolution New FoV fovTop=1.03; fovLeft=1.83; 1920 x 1080 resolution

Well that makes sense really. * It put some stress off the CPU and it gives it to the GPU. * I know anti-aliasing will make GPU work, at about 25% more stress to the GPU. As for the methods in boasting your FPS. * If you actually disable both "anti-alising and post processing" you actually get more FPS. - Give me a min, I'll take a couple screenshots. Test 1 Very High "anti-aliasing" Very High "post processing" Test 2 Disabled "anti-aliasing" Disabled "post processing" I'll try the FOV change.

These settings could work. * But for me they didn't, it actually dropped 15 frames. - It could be that my system is already optimized well for the game. I first changed the settings, to his nvidea specifications. * Was around 85 fps, where I was at. - Had some screen flickering of which later ended the test. * Then after, I wiped the the new settings. - I applied my old ones, and I was hitting 95 - 100 fps. --------- I don't want to discourage anyone. * Reading about his changes does make some sense in various ways. - But post processing is not going to convince me. Atm, I am in the ARMA 2 editor, sitting in Cherno town square. * If have it on very high, I lose 2 FPS. - When I disable It gain 2 FPS.

I'll try this out. * Btw , tempting Crysis 3 game-play.. :P

It's always at "49" when being idle, k. * Just doing a comparison with my system. - That is all.

Very interesting, information. * "Sorry" for not believe it. So does that means what Microsoft posted was wrong? lol http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements Well, I guess there is merit where you system is actually at 77% with what Microsoft suggested. * Might I ask how many process you have at being idle?

Yes, I know its a decent card. * The drivers for both cards are good. * But with that link you gave me, check the FPS for the various games listed. <-- Of course that is stock speed. * As for OCing, we didn't discuss that. - But in that field, the 7950 has the advantage. What is your system? * 32 bit or 64 bit On that tab you opened. * Click performance. * Then click resource monitor.

It's a good card, but not better than the GTX 670 http://www.hwcompare.com/12507/geforce-gtx-670-vs-radeon-hd-7950/ Want clarify, which windows 8 version you using. * 32 bit or 64 bit. - If your 32 bit, I'd believe you. - If your 64 bit, then no. Unless you can post a screenshot of your resource monitor.

120 usd for a graphics card? * Sorry, but do you know the cost of a decent graphics card? - A GTX 670 is around 350 usd per card. For it being a budget system, good for you. * But to upgrade that system, your better off spending on a new system. For the 2 gigs not being used by Windows 7 and Windows 8. * Try harder in lying next time. http://windows.microsoft.com/systemrequirements http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/system-requirements Here is a screenshot from my system, being idle. If you consider the GTX 460 /7950 good enough for you, then that is fine. * I was talking about a decent graphics card, like a GTX 670 and above. * Just don't SLI / Crossfire your cards , the PSU is too weak. Nice cooling, I've done that in the past. * But you can get a decent , heat sink for your cpu at round 25 usd. People going overboard with their system. * Well some people love high fps and image quality, others don't care. - Its how pc gaming basically works. I guess your just going to have to.

Not bad. * 394 usd for that system... lol

Not needing an I7. * That depends if he wants to record/stream game-play. * Btw, there is a FPS boast, not large but its still there. - Everything depends on how much your willing to spend. If 30 FPS, is your average. * What is your lowest drop? - 5 to 15 FPS? N offense to your rig, but its a large bottleneck. * 4 gigs of RAM, 2 gigs already being used by windows 7, and only 2 left for he game. * PSU being 500 watts, well that limits any decent graphics card. * Cheap case.. lol...How about no cooling? - Your better off saving that 500 usd for a better system

Oh, the irony. :rolleyes:

In all honesty, save up more money. * By the time standalone is out, you should have enough money for a sweet rig. If your going to buy a system for 600 usd now, your going to regret it later.

Find a radio, then go to green mountain. * There you will find voices, the origin of the zombies. * Have fun This is all Chernarus ofc.

You also need "ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead. * After your done with that. Download "Dayz Commander" * For the mod and anything else. http://www.dayzcommander.com/

Try being sneaky, and you won't have an issue. * What do I mean? - Stop running into towns.

Wish they could take the FOV option from Farcry 3...

I like the overall patch, I love watching idiots run into town and get swarmed by zombies. * Being sneaky actually pays off, but I still hate 3rd person... - But o well, we can't get everything we wish...
