blockhead (DayZ)

afaik the servers operate on their local timezone, ie. if it's in the evening in your timezone, then all local servers to you will be night time in game. I play in the evening from the UK, so I always have to connect to US servers as all euro ones are night time.

do you get a constant 5-10 fps from the get go, or does it start off better then get worse?

It'll sound just like having Gazza on TS hahahaha!

wohoo! count me in Newcastle, 34 Steam - blockhead78 I'll get regd on iogc as well :)

single player - all required data is local, no servers or bandwidth to contend with... therefore single player will be quicker regardless Like any online game, if the server gets hammered, performance is going to be affected Also depends on your bandwidth as well

have you already checked the other posts on this? http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=269&pid=17508#pid17508 I had this on my first day. Re-installing battleye for AO fixed it for me and haven't had the problem since.

urrrgh... unfortunately that error is a pain to troubleshoot. There's a large divide on what causes that. Some say it's overheating. DayZ does place a larger load on my CPU than ARMA. Some say it's hardware related and some say it's drivers. What spec are you running on?

If you haven't already, try deleting the addons, then download and extract them again from http://us.armafiles.info/

The alpha is v1.57 If you filter your server list by name dayz, do any 1.57 or 1.56 servers show up at all, or just 1.60?

you say you get a black screen and the in game cursor... do you also get audio playing? and if you click fire do you see the muzzle flash? sorry if it sounds silly, but I thought i was getting a black screen then realised it was at night and the seeing as there's no light sources where I was, it was pitch black lol

yup, that's exactly what it did for me... I re-installed battleye and hey presto, problem solved give it a try if you haven't already :)

when it dumps you back to the server list, does it say waiting for character to create in the background? If so, check this post http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=269 same thing happened to me and re-installing battleye fixed it

hehe typical... I no sooner typed my post and suddenly I can now connect to any server must be gremlins :P

I'm just wondering if it is purely server load at the moment?... The mod got a lot of publicity lately on the likes of kotaku and i noticed the dayzmod.com homepage is offline now maybe it's been taken down to stop people getting the mod until the issue is sorted?
