I came across my first hacker yesterday in an 11 man server... Dropped us all from a helicopter... I usually find that servers with less than 10 or 11 people are night servers where I get shot endlessly by people with NVGs...

I just wish we would hear something about a release already, even if it's "Okay guys, we discovered X problem and it's going to take a while to fix"... GODDAMN ARTIFACTS D:

Assuming you're using SixLauncher or something?

Don't know how to embed them to the post, but here you go :) Also, compression screwed the quality, but you should be able to make out the differences...

I'm on it.

When you close your eyes and see "Loading..." -.-

If you're using Steam, then F12 I think. Print Screen doesn't work in Arma, so you'll have to use something else...

Barbed wire etc used to cause this, but I'm pretty sure it's now caused by those modelled dead military zombies you see on the floor around military bases (and central Cherno). HOPEFULLY we don't have to wait long for this to be patched. Broken features I can live with, but when I literally can't see five metres in front of me, it's a game breaking issue that needs to be addressed immediately.

Could it be... The real Frankie :o Probably not, but hi anyway. :)

Confirm this too, no raw meat from animals upon death :( Well, it seemed I couldn't loot them at all after gutting them for that matter...

Considering I don't use tents or choppers etc, the only thing I can confirm in this patch is THE GODDAMN ARTIFACTS D: Seriously, not complaining because I know it's an alpha etc etc tec, but I cannot see ANYTHING other than stretched textures at military camps (NWAF, Balota airfield + deer stands etc) Unplayable :(

Okay, so what happened in-game was weird, but the situation you had with the server browser being stuck on "Receiving" and not listing servers sounds like you may have tried to log back on in the hours when the GameSpy main server was down earlier (everyone had this issue). After that, it just sounds to me as if force closing caused some sort of error, especially likely if you ended the actual process.

Never even used a tent, but glad to see they should hopefully be fixed, as I can see them being very useful :) As for the respawn button for fractures, I doubt it will stop people from respawning to get a better spawn location. As it has been said before, it can be incredibly easy to break your legs by simply jumping off a building / getting stuck in doorways, so I think a timer of 10-15 minutes to use the respawn button after your initial spawn would be more of a deterrent for those who try to get better spawn locations etc.

Ahaha, PunkBuster. Good One. Seriously though, PunkBuster sucks. Yes, more so than BattleEye.

MINE. Okay, maybe not, but I called it ;)

Game settings in pause menu. Head bob slider.

I think every game should adopt Rockstar's method of dealing with hackers that they implemented in Max Payne 3. Anyone caught hacking has their ID placed into a special matchmaking 'pool', meaning hackers will be placed into games with other hackers (unknowingly to them, until they discover everyone has god mode). Obviously not sure how this would work with a server browser, but still, i'd love to see it :D

Okay, let me put it this way. Two ways of healing: 1) Grab a blood bag with a friend. (Very common, typical to find five in one box at military hospital. Also heals to full.) 2) Try to find matches, hunting knife, some sort of weapon, animal to kill, wood pile / oil barrel. (All of which except a weapon can be hard to find, just depends on luck. Takes up more inventory/bag space due to more meat being needed to heal to full health.) I'm not saying that solo healing is ridiculously hard or anything, It's just undeniably a great amount of effort compared to co-op play healing. Should be balanced out a bit to help solo players.

It's stupidly easy as it is if you play with friends (which I do now that they finally picked up a copy of ArmA -.-). I'm just saying that, when compared to just grabbing a blood bag, healing alone is much too hard.

I've gotta say that surviving alone is incredibly hard in terms of healing... Once you're dying, it's over. At the very least, cooked meat should heal completely, but if I had it my way, matches, wood and hunting knives would be a lot more common too.

I went there once, got no loot, climbed the tower, climbed down again, went to exit out the gate and 4-5 military zeds just spawned there in front of me... Then I apparently aggroed one even though it was walking away from me and I was prone with 1 visibility & 0 noise =\ I died.

Everywhere pretty much... The very little food I do find tends to come from pubs in Cherno or those big square bricked houses... I don't know though, I guess it's just my luck. If I find a gun I can't find food and vice versa D: ;)

Currently having the same issue... Mainly due to lack of food... Honestly, I have 7 cans of drink and one can of food. Are the spawn values messed up or something?

Doomed idea is doomed.

I wish people would post what resolutions they're playing at. It's no good rushing into this thread saying "I max out DayZ with my ________ and get FPS OVER 9000" if you're playing at 600x480. Judging by the components you've already listed, I assume you're going to be playing on at least 1920x1080... I have a GTX 570 running everything very high except anti-aliasing (none) and post-process effects (none) and at 1080p I get 60 FPS out of towns / forests but it drops as low as 30 inside towns / forests. I don't know why this is, and I don't know if getting a better GPU would benefit or not - it seems the game is just badly optimised or being bottlenecked by something that isn't my GPU or CPU...
