good news to hear, hopefully the main focus will be stopping hacks/cheaters, the main ground work for the game is done, stoping hacks should have a high priority cant wait for release, will had over cash gladly for it

i get the whole version and all that, my point of the post was why not stick with 1.62 stalbe patch that was release, some bugs that get reported could be because of the beta patches that came out after 1.62, from my understanding 1.62 was a stable version of the pervious beta patches that came out all rolled into one patch, so it would already have the tech that dayZ need in order to work as intended, beta's are known to have bugs, beta patches, beta drivers, etc, i know this is an alpha mod, so its still in very early stages of being developed, but developings under and stable version of 1.62, insted of contantly changing beta patches makes more sense if u ask me, gives them a rock solid foundatin to build apon, and would help pinpoint bugs a lot quicker and easyer

i dont get why all the dayZ servers are useing the beta patchs for arma2 the 2 days i got play dayZ on the offical 1.62 patch i didnt have any graphic artifacts, or loading issues it seems like the beta patches for arma2 introduce more bugs and troubles then anything else and since there can be a new one release every few days it must make it pretty hard to pinpoint certian bugs in the mod why not stick with developing this mod under the 1.62 stable patch? atleast then the bugs would be easyer to pinpoint and servers/clients wouldnt be fored to jump bewteen different servers depending on what beta patch they are running, would also remove the chance of it being a arma2beta bug being reported for this mod and allow us to find the bugs in this mod

dont have any screenshots of it, but it seems like anytime theres a lot of barbed wire i get massive graphic artifacts, to the point where im totally blind and cant see anything at all geforce gt 555m 1GB(driver 296.10) win7 x64 8gb ram i5 2430m (2.4ghz stock, 3ghz turbo)

each tiome u die, u learn something new, like not jumping down from high places or to be a bit more stealthy the first 3 days playing i think i had guns twice, and got gunned down each time, yeah i made a lot of noise yeah i did stupid newb things in dayZ, but its part of learning how to play it right now i can survive for 3-4 days max, untill i walk through the wrong area while hunting for pigs/cows and get pegged off by a bloody sniper!!!! i still have fun with it tho, it town campers keep pegging me off i try to aggro as many zeds as i can so i have a horde of 20+ runnin after me and lead them towards the campers if i know where they are lol make ur own fun with the game think outside the box do the unthinkable climbed to top of a build once, and then thought "shit.. bet some sniper is gonna plug me one now" climbd up there to get away from zeds, so i hopped over the edge and gave the zeds a manwitch, lol, i lost my gear, i made a dumb mistake, but i still turned it into something fun in the end!! make ur own fun, find the urban legends thread, study a map that u find on google, and go looking for the creepy things posted in that thread its to easy to have fun with game my goal is simple, i wanna have a survivour for 5-6 days now!, slowly working my way to a week

turn all the settings down to lowest possible, it should be playable on ur system dont expect it to run super smooth tho the amd 4250 isnt that great of a gpu, i used to have a laptop with a 4270, and that was almost 2 years ago now i wouldnt even bother trying to run most new games on it give it a shot and the lowest detail level, but dont count on it being very smooth, also run it at a low resolution, 800x600

i always thought a sandbox game was basicly a massive area, no loading screens, and be able to use whatever is avalabe in the enviroment providied in game

i brought arma2 just to be able to play dayZ learning curve? all i did b4 playing was find out about the controls i didnt bother with watching videos or anything else everything else u learn while playing the game if ur a gamer who cracks the shits about not being awesome as soon as u start out, play something else i jumped in the deepend of the pool, and drowned to start with now im surviving and loving every minute of it if i live or die, i dont care, coz i learn a new tactic for the game i've always just thrown myself into games without reading anything more then the controls for it thats the point of a game, there is a respawn button, learn from ur mistakes, try again its not like once u die thats it, the game gets deleted and as for setting up and installing it, i didnt have a problem, i use the six launcher/updater, and it has worked flawlessly for me i dont see why ppl bitch about "learn curves" in games, if u cant learn how to play a game, how can u learn to do anything at all? learn sum patience keep getting killed in a big city, dont go there and look to the smaller towns/deer stands for gear doesnt take much effort to work it out

sounds just as good as taking all the servers offline and not allowing anyone to play at all....... ban everyone coz of one person? serious?

some good stories here have been to GM both at day and at night and in both times it has been empty, not a sound, so i've thought "hey why not go check the tower for some loot!" as soon as i hit the top of the tower, i hear flies buzzing like crazy, and the groans of zed's once i reach the bottom of the tower and peak outside the door, theres always 20+ zeds in camo's shambleing around everytime, day or night, have done it about 5-6 times the trip, mainly coz i've notice ppl tend to avoid the place and everytime i try to get out of there i run out of ammo and become a fresh manwitch for the feast also ealyer today i was at stary sobor, heading for the army camp there, had 2-3 zeds chase me there, run into the first tent, pegged em off with a mak, no troubles, peak outside, no zeds or players anywhere, so i go from tent to tent, checking the geasr, find food, drinks, more ammo, then i come upto the last tent, empty and it looks like there is a remington 870 sitting there!! bonus! need a back up wep!! as soon as i step into the tent a zed comes out of nowhere right in my face!!! did he have a predator cloacking system?!?! he took a swipe at me and hit me making me blled so i start back peddleing, as soon as i was 2 steps away he disappered, into thin air? i couldnt work this out, thinking it was a spawn bug or a glitch, but it had happened, he made me bleed, so i bandaged myself up, and very carefully made my way back to the tent to see if he would come back, didnt show up, so i looted the gun and booked it for the closest forest logged out just after that happened and i had the illiusion of feeling safe, lol

zombies are still a threat when u find a wep, do u sneak away from them or past them? or risk putting a few rounds in em while u scvange for supplys then giving ur pos away to other players and having them kill u and take all ur gear? its a game about making a choice? do i kil that other player? do i kill a zombie? do i help this newb i see on the coast? just seems like most ppl make the choice of shooting on sight everything is a threat, and a lot of players get paranoid about loseing there scavanaged gear spend countless hours sneaking from town to town looking for a sniper rile and would u let sumone get close enough to kill u and take it?

it ccould be u r useing buggy graphics drivers if ur having trouble with the lighting maybe updateing or downgradeing ur drivers will fix the problem

i havnt had a problem with DayZ at all since the steam update i use the six launcher it installs the beta files into the addon dir of AO if u launch Day Z through the Six lanucher/updater, it doesnt change any of the files in ur arma2 install dir(copying over .exe's etc) and runs the beta patch right out of the addon dir, im able to connect to any server on dayz, just depends if they are running the same patch as i am dont know why so many people are having trouble with it

good idea, but portable raidos would need to be inculded as well, transmition freqences, would add a deep layer of complexity to the game code very good idea would be awesome to voice chat with a team mate who is at "base camp" and give a report of said town area, call for player reinforcements,etc,etc very good idea, but also very complex

maybe not the cleaning kit, but to have wep's break over time u need to replace them, maybe not break, but jamming frequently, then u have to break out the hatchet and go hunting for a new wep, theres already enough needing to spend time lighting fires for food, drinking, bandages, etc, another thing on the list to make ur char stationary and an easy target would make it more painful, maybe making guns have a "3 dayz" life would be better, so after 2-3 days they would jam/break, forcing you to get a new wep
