Another "Why do I get shitty FPS" thread
zekez replied to Legacy (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Does beta oa help with fps at all? I get a steady 60+ but when I get near or in elektra it drops to like 30 -
Try being more sneaky? Download a map of Chernarus, and find out where you are, plot your path, hide in the woods and avoid open areas. With zombie sounds as long as you're running in a crouch you should never just "run up on" zombies, if there's a building, there's zombies near, if there's zombies, there's a building around.

For those who complain about/dislike temperature

Everyone's does, notice he said how it "should" be, not how it is now. Sorry double post from my phone -
A noob's next priority - matches and a knife
zekez replied to musicrab's topic in New Player Discussion
It is annoying trying to find matches, I like to spawn and head north but now I have to run around the coast to find matches or I'll catch a cold. I must be a horrible survivor to not be able to start a fire without matches -

[Guide] Updated for 1.5.8.2 - Everything you need in under 6 minutes
zekez posted a topic in New Player Discussion
** IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE CONTEXT MENU RIGHT CLICKING, YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD 1.5.8.2, YOU ARE STILL RUNNING 1.5.8.1, because it's 1.5.8, it won't give you a server error between .1 and .2** I've noticed a lot of the tutorials are very long, like over 20 minutes so I took it on myself to make 2 short [under 3 min] videos which will cover all the most basic questions I have heard Basic aiming, movement and a couple tips if your game is blurry: and, everyone's favorite, the an inventory tutorial: And here is the new using of gear in 1.5.8 -
[Guide] Updated for 1.5.8.2 - Everything you need in under 6 minutes
zekez replied to zekez's topic in New Player Discussion
you need to redownload the mod then, it's the only fix for that. -
Very short tutorial I made, basically because I was testing the audio and tired of 20 minute long tutorials. [Putting it on 720p and fullscreen will show you the best results] Let me know what you think. I will probably be making more nice and short tutorials for the more basic things later. And yes, I expect a bunch of comments about gamma hacking and it "not being realistic" but realistically at midnight during the zombie apocalypse I'd be sleeping, not scavenging.

Been working on it as time permits, these are a few I've done that I'd like to revisit: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4986

done [posting here too] E8500 3.5 ghz Duo Core Gtx560ti 4gigs ram Windows 7 64 bit

45-60 FPS pre 1.5.8.2, 20-25 FPS last night even after the hotfix, 8 fps today when I got home from work Windows 7 64 4 gb ram Intel e8500 3.5ghz GTX 560ti

I don't mind it being dark but being that dark is overkill. It's like going to a movie theater for a horror movie and all they do is turn off the lights and play scary sounds over the speakers. The only thing I find "scary" about Day Z at night is wondering if my monitor is on or if I just spent 15 minutes running up against a fence in place
-
I just do it because I find it way more realistic to be able to see more than 3 inches in front of me. I still use flares in the forest and houses and the such, but if I'm in a wide open field or road, with stars shining and everything, it makes no sense to not even be able to see the ground in front of you.

[Guide] Updated for 1.5.8.2 - Everything you need in under 6 minutes
zekez replied to zekez's topic in New Player Discussion
These will have to do for now as I am down to about 8 fps [from 60+ before] with the performance bug -
[Guide] Updated for 1.5.8.2 - Everything you need in under 6 minutes
zekez replied to zekez's topic in New Player Discussion
I'll be updating these and adding a few things like jumping fences and I won't stand next to an annoying flare whole time, inventory will be all redone for 1.5.8 and I'll try to be more eloquent -
Redownload 1.5.8.2 you are using 1.5.8.1 it doesn't let you click them.

really useless? lol :P -
I'd love this I hate getting stuck trying to go through door only to have to back up walk all the way straight in and then turn. Not very immersive
-
ya it might be a little louder but not by much, I was still one shotting my way through zombies without attracting too many, maybe 2-3 more than normal

updated for a quick 20 second video showing the new using of gear in 1.5.8 If you are not getting a context menu make sure you have 1.5.8.2, not 1.5.8.1, there was a mini update http://mirror.tritnaha.com/ -
I haven't logged in yet, but I have a feeling I'm going to miss one shotting zombies from 20 feet away and not attracting any attention. I hope my tears are delicious
-
I thought my post was rather spot on...
-
When you die you lose everything, unless you get lucky and respawn with all your stuff [happened to me the other day], but ya, you should move on to a more n00b friendly game, you'll probably have an aneurism if you try to play this mod with the big boys.

I'm sorry my 60 second guide for new players to see at night offended you, the entire point was to make them short and sweet so you didn't have to watch 20 minutes of someone running around, I will be posting one tomorrow about inventory/bags, it will be about 60 seconds long, I'm sure you'll find issue with it.
