i didnt hang about... once i looted him i high tailed it outta that area

:D:D:D

asking this here, as I had this rifle but never fired it until after the new patch, so don't if this expected or not. anyway... i was sat in the tree line on a hillside, no zombies in the immediate surroundings. Lined up my scope on a zombie way, wayyyyyyyyy off in the distance next to a barn, fired, missed and the shot landed right next to him. I still had my scope on him and I thought, no probs he's too far off to worry about... I was bloody surprised that within a split second of the shot landing, the zombie and any others around the barn were now heading at full speed towards me. Is it just the case that the rifle is too damn noisy and it'll happen anyway, or should it be safe to fire the CZ550 at distance and remain undetected?

OMG if you actually read the thread you've posted on! ---> http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5010&page=3 Rocket RE: Performance Drop; 1.5.8.2 Hotfix Will look at a hotfix for tomorrow.

on any server? and does it show zero zombies on your HUD?

TY for the speedy deploy Rocket! seriously looking forward to getting the new build tonight :)

hehe finally got connected and sods law... the day/night cycle was either broke or froze... no zeds or loot anywhere, just loads of bandit vs survivors :P still... used the chance to cover some good ground on the map uninterrupted

must be especially busy tonight... first time ive been unable to get on any server

hahaha picturing that happening just made laugh enough to spit my coffee :D

It could quite likely be correct at 0:28 If you take into account that amount of new players that have flooded the servers lately and are running in blind and getting wiped out, then it will skew the figure. Plus all the new players are just more fodder for the bandits

I hate the nametags. I don't want to make a lot of effort making sure I'm in cover for some lucky bandit to then be able to have his sights alert him to where I am.

you using steam? if you are and got that message when trying to use steam to re-install it, then have you tried getting it directly from the battleye website? A few other people have had this http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=269 This historically was a much bigger issue (in general, not just DayZ) with BE in one of it's earlier releases

So far I haven't murdered anyone. It's taken about a week for me to settle with the way I play. Which is best described as scavenger I suppose. Avoid conflict/engagements as much as possible, get in get loot and then get out quick. I've had no interest in taking out other players... however... I found myself almost compelled/enticed to do it last night. Recently picked up a sniper rifle and was in a treeline surveying the surroundings with the scope. Noticed some movement at the top of a crane and found someone looting the body of another player (not sure if he killed him or not). Now, being up in the crane he didn't have any cover to run to and I was a fair distance away. This, added to the fact he had no idea he was sat in the middle of my sights created a compelling urge to take him out. Then I realised, I was sat there for a good few minutes questioning myself as to whether I should or shouldn't. It was almost mesmersing tracking him with the scope down the crane and off into the buildings with a "you don't know you're being watched" feeling. I felt kinda glad I'd stuck to my rules of not killing others players, but at the same time couldn't start thinking that I could have sooooo taken him out. It was almost a disconcerting feeling to a degree, but holy crap on a cracker in added sooooo much to the immersion of this mod.

probably means they'd had a database issue and had to reset everyone's location. It sucks when it happens, but these types of things are sometimes unavoidable with an alpha.

i spawned, BANG, i died

***ignore*** i'm an idiot :P

woah... sorry... i've renamed the title I admit i missed any post about database issues, but the last database reset post in announcements was 16th May Was it posted in another area of the forum or am i just blind as a bat? apologies for my insta-rant... i should have taken a mo before leaping into the forum

afaik they're supposed to be in different folders, they're two separate games

normally with any program, if it's crashing to desktop it's either: damaged install/files insufficient spec or hardware issue being blocked by AV/firewall what have you tried so far?

i've stuck to the following rules so far and they've worked a dream for me: 1. reinstall battleye for AO 2. dont wait for a server response for more than a few minutes. if a server is taking a long time to respond, dont keep trying the same one 3. try a different server not a definite fix, but works for me

it's a hard one to judge given the server loads lately. what fps high/lows have you been getting? i suppose connectivity is also going to play a part. what up/down speeds are you getting and have you tested for packet loss?
