Found this on kotaku, part 3 had me in stitches laughing! had a quick search of the forum, couldn't find it posted already links to parts 2 & 3 are on part 1 Part 1

ep 4 is up @ 7:26 I laughed that hard a little bit of wee came out :lol:

what is in your filter options on the server list? I just filter 'dayz' or the build number

oh how these global ban posts make me giggle so :D

I had the same issue first time I ran the mod... re-installing battleye fixed it Steam: right click OA > reinstall battleye Non-steam: http://www.battleye.com/download.html

well... I assume he was a bandit was in the fire station at nw airport had just closed all down stairs doors and headed up stairs. only got up the first flight of stairs and saw the large bay doors fling open from the window. turned back round, peeked downstairs and saw the leg of a ghillie suit just go out of sight round the corner no chatter at all right, i thought... this time it's my turn to get the drop crouched, patiently waited... a ghillie covered head poked round the corner BLAM! entire AK clip in his face wohooo! lordy lordy he was loot-tastic... M4A1 holo, map, compass, entrecher, gps, m1911 and ammo ammo ammo, plus a whole pile of other stuff Thank you sir... I iz a happy bunneh! and promptly got killed and lost it all hahaha

hehe well if i close a door then a moment later someone opens it and sneaks round behind me, I aint taking any chances karma came round and bit me in the ass though... lost the whole lot to someone else later that day :P

here's my spec, not brilliant but works good enough for me I am looking at upgrading cpu soon though OS: Windows 7 64bit HDD: 1TB Sata Mobo: Acer G43T-M CPU: Intel Q8300 quad 2.5 RAM: 6GB Gfx: Gainward GT440 1gb ddr5 Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 Rev 2 PSU: Corsair 500w Connection: 80mbps down 20mbps up I've also has instances on terrible fps at around the 5 mark, but changing servers always sorted it for me

yeah my experience of xps laptops is not that good last one I had was the studio xps 16 with maxed out spec from dell it overheated way too fast, so good performance didnt last long tbh, for best gaming performance it's desktop all the way

Throughout all fps troubleshooting i've done myself and have seen other players go through, if you have a half decent rig it has nearly always turned out to be server related the guys I play with have their own server now I have had varied fps, but normally hopped round until I got good results. Meaning if fps are good on one server but not the next, then it's not your PC. More than likely the server is having issues of some sort or needs a restart the guys I play with who run the server have seen the same thing... eventually fps start dropping on the server after a while, restart the server, problem solved so, to ask the obvious... have you tried different servers? low ping does not guarantee good performance if the server is struggling. I've connected to server with a ping of 30ms and seen crap performance, whereas a server with 120ms will run smooth as hell. It all depends on how that server is coping at that time

gamebooster made a noticeable improvement for me, but didn't need to disable my anti virus or firewall and don't intend to either :P if anti virus treats arma files as a threat, then get avg to ignore arma

love it! it totally gets the heart going navigating round zeds and keeping in mind to stay out of their line of sight loot seems well balanced my only gripe... zeds do just a tad too much damage for my liking, but hey ho still love the mod :cool:

hahaha! I havent used it as melee yet... I hope it does that every time :D

recent changes like this will have a love/hate response with no middle ground... subsequently it will create a divide however, it's all part of the process... there's more than likely a tonne more changes to come, which will be loved/hated by different players this mod is far from the norm and demands the ability to adapt more than ever

tbh... this change has made little or no difference for me whenever I spawn I get off the coast as quickly as possible and avoid any contact with zeds/players until I've stocked up. So far, I haven't any issues with loot whatsoever since the new release When it does come to times near zeds, I'm always as stealthy as I can be. So unless a zed is right on top of me, I get by incident free :) I have hardly ever needed to use the makarov at all, so losing it is no biggie. All it means is I have to be that extra bit careful with what I've already got :D with this type of alpha, being adaptable is the name of the game... if it makes the whole thing harder, then bring it on is what I say!

I always log off near a water source and find the castles (Zub & Rog) are always a good source of food/drink, even since the update

yup, cannot be done as soon as you minimise it, windows has taken focus away from that application, so its audio will stop until you open it again

you need to reinstall battleye

for the love god read the other posts in troubleshooting before posting http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12180&page=4

unfortunately crc errors normally mean hdd issues or OS corruption run a check disk asap see --> http://m.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Cyclic-Redundancy-Check-Error

your stuck in debug wilderness... quickest and easiest solution is to die and respawn

i've had the respawn/fps issue a few times in the past. performance will be great, then i'd die and respawn and the fps would be terrible. only closing arma and reconnecting to the same server would correct it. however, ive havent seen the issue again since using 1.7 and the beta, but since then havent died that often so dont know if i'll see it again or not

yeah, if it's a non-legit copy then even if you try and fix any launch errors it's almost certain multi-player won't work anyway as Revixy said... buy it
