blockhead (DayZ)

i sometimes saw the fps issue on 1.5.8.3, but have had no issues at all on 1.5.8.4. I did notice on 8.3 that when it happened my ram usage would jump up a lot. It seemed less like my gfx was unable to cope and more like some kind of coding/memory dump glitch. Hard to say though as it didnt happen to often for me. On one occasion though it was particularly bad and I would get about 5 seconds game play and fps would completely bomb out. Restarting steam/pc didn't help, but as soon as I emptied %temp% the problem stopped. Don't know if that was a red herring or not?

I got WOOOOOD! :D:D:D

Geordie boy here! Steam - blockhead78

you start judging height not in units of distance, but in likelihood of breaking bones or not :P

yup, kotaku for me too

you can see the words "waiting for server response" everywhere you look, as the words have been burned into your retinas

+100000000000000000000000000000000 :D:D:D

other players add the biggest part of the tension for me. zombies are easily avoided, but with players they can spot you from any viewable distance and sneak up on you. avoid open ground as much as possible, stay on the high ground and (cannot stress the importance of this enough) check your surroundings! don't just run about aimlessly.. take a moment every so often and check ahead AND behind you. Plan your route and your cover. Honest, once you get used to being able to survive, the game draws you into a whole new level.

+1 for this I've seen that EU4 does this and states what timezone it's running the mod on in it's description. It would make life a hell of a lot easier knowing if a server will be on day or night cycle before actually joining it.

yeah, unless I'm specifically chatting with someone... I ignore all chatter

y'know... I have read this post and shook my head at the sheer ignorance in some of the comments!!! I know, I know... if the server states English only chat, then technically you can be banned for posting anything foreign. buuuuuuuut... I don't speak or understand Russian... but at the same time I do not expect or force my language upon anyone that doesn't understand english. It's exactly the same if someone is typing in chat in English and it's nothing of interest to me... I ignore it. Same as any foreign chatter, not just Russian. Why all the Russian haters??? I see plenty people chatting in German, French, Portuguese... etc Spread a little love peeps!

I haven't touched my xbox or ps3 since getting DayZ I'm sat in front of DayZ as soon as I get back from work It has me totally gripped! Rocket... my wife is not happy about this :D

any chance of any figures on what the safe shooting distances are for different weapon types? ie. minimum distance you have to be where zombies won't be alerted fired the CZ550 from what I considered a far off distance (approx 200m-300m) and ended up with a horde heading at me

yeah, it would be great if that were possible. But DayZ is a mod, not a standalone game and Rocket doesn't own ARMA

i bought OA purely for this mod... well worth every penny! if you get the *ahem* ARMA that you don't have to pay for, the multiplayer will not work, period so if you want to play DayZ, then you'll have to pay for ARMA, no other option

tytyty!

this should be on constant loop in the mod

awesome wallpaper! simple but very effective :)

Given the amount of posts on this issue, I expected to start using the patch last night and have nothing but problems. Now... I did experience points where fps did majorly bomb out, but during 2hrs it only happened twice and very briefly. Just a few seconds each time. The server was 50/50 at the time. Other than that, no issues at all... in fact (might just be coincidence) I can now connect to servers a hell of a lot easier since the patch and on the occasions when "waiting for server response" appears, I haven't had to wait longer than a minute. that's happened to me plenty times before the patch... I've found using binos in certain areas seriously drops the fps

do you realise you have to select the bandage from the left side of gear loadout, then right click bandage on the right side of gear loadout?

wouldnt making every building accessible put the physics score through the roof?

Took out my first bandit tonight. Poor bugger crawled out of a hanger in prone right in front of me. Just a little pay back for all those downed survivors out there hehe
