I've got an M14x and I can run everything on full just fine. Man, I love my portable rig.

No, you're not a noob. I genuinely understand your frusterations with the game atm, and I hope you find the mod's progress down the line more satisfying.

I happen to be in the same boat here, aspiring game dev. So go ahead and share some bits with me via PM if you like. On my honor.But let's be honest, even if you have a really good thing going, coming and literally trashtalking the competition isn't good form!

That's a tall order, but I see what you're saying. I know that quite a few PKers use stuff like this to their advantage. There's a specific term for it, but I can't quite recall.

As long as skins stay in-game (hopefully not the final step for humanity in-game) then I'd like this to remain too. A little bit of permanence.

I just want to see what game Sol is making. C'mon, walk the talk, give us a link.

Those numbers aren't indicative of anything. Are you implying that a full quarter of people who own a game should be playing it, concurrently, at any give time? That's completely ridiculous.

The people who downloaded the patch already ARE the closed beta test. The patch is formally released when it goes on sixupdater. You download something that isn't completely ready, your fault. People are downloading a beta patch for an alpha mod and they're still fucking bitching.

Dosen't sound legit. Too... unprofessional.

So they got more dangerous? Excellent.

Whenever rocket is assured the patch is stable. I'd put my money on about a day or so.

School started already for a lot of kids.

I did. And there's another thread floating around about it being slow too. I guess there are just a lot of people excited at the prospect of having the graphics glitches gone!

This thread went downhill way too fast. You guys should be ashamed.

No, this patch had nothing to do with hacking. That's entirely up to BE. Hope they're working hard.

Interesting how people are saying that it won't make a difference... Of course it will. Permanently? Hell no, but displacement of their hubs takes time to restore. If youtube went down, some people would give up on video sharing until it was fixed. Some people would divide to the infinite youtube clones on the web, further dispersing their ability to communicate. It's the same concept as actual war; it's not about total destruction in one sweeping blow. It's about displacement of assets until victory is acheived. If we can keep hacking down in any small way, BattleEye has time to work on a fix. If BattleEye can somehow pull together a fix, we can game until standalone. If we can game until standalone, problem solved.

Character randomization?

This is the beat short term solution for the whole banditry issue. A more developed system, hopefully not as binary, will eventually replace it.

Find someone better, then come trash talk. BattleEye is dealing with an unprecedented quantity of hackers right now, and they to protect an engine built to ALLOW scripts. They're dealing with a problem that the game itself is programmed to allow. Har some goddamn respect for the depth of their labors so far.

Yeah, maybe you're right. Satire of satire makes the same problem and all that.

I wouldn't say the contract has been broken at all. Yes, there has been a huge surge of hacking on day z right now. You can't expect an instant solution to a problem that came out of nowhere, riding on the back of a mod that nobody saw coming. The hacking has been a real problem for maybe two weeks now. Two weeks is not a lot of time to outwit the thousands of hackers we're seeing, I'd say BE is doing a pretty good job at reacting to a problem on a scale they've never had to deal with before.And I'm fairly certain an attempt by BI to implement security wouldn't be a good idea. If security specialists can't do it, why would a bunch of programmers from BI be able to? You're expecting too much from these poor guys.

So you were pretty much in a safe place.... shit, I guess you just got fucked over then. That really sucks.

Guys. This is satire. And you kind of all fell for it.

Perhaps you're overracting a bit mate.
