I have the exact same problem and my friends mic is working aswell without doing anything else than installing the game. Kinda frustrating not able to speak at all in game even if its mostly KOS now adays there is some situations where a mic is very useful.

No this is far from what this game is about, this idea would give the game a set of rules which the players are supposed to follow. The reason why this game is so unique and special compared to any other game in the market is the freedom and undefined game play. Noone will ever tell you what you are going to do, you have to decide that yourself. You can't "win" dayz, dayz is an experience, an awesome but terrifying experience and any set game play that defines a goal will ruin it. How ever I think there should be like 10 fold the amount of zombies on a server (if not even more than that), combined with good pathing and slower speed, that would be amazing.

Not 100% sure about this but I think I read that putting some of the settings on low will actually hurt your performance because it will move from using the GPU to using the CPU for some calculations, now I do not know which settings this might be though.

Yeah because it is VERY hard to run 15 Km without stopping :rolleyes:. And this idea is just stupid noone would ever play a female character if they where weaker than male ones. I actually wont make a new female character again simply because they cannot wear a ghillie suit (jet).

You do realise you can have a hatchet AND a rifle n at the same time? (By putting the hatchet in the tool belt obviously)

Yes and going about it this way is exactly what the OP want you to do. I think way to many people think this post is about removing pvp from the game which is wrong. As I see it this suggestion is to make pvp more meaning full and interesting. "If there's a zombie horde nearby, I will wait and stalk for my opportunity." this is exactly the type of behaviour that would be so awesome. People wont just shoot each other the minute they see another player, they are going to make a decision to kill or not to kill. If they decide to kill they will have to do this at the right moment or risk getting over runned by zombies (which of course sometimes is still gonna be worth it). I don't think anyone in there right mind would want to remove pvp from this game it is a VERY important aspect of dayz, but I think it would be good to limit the amount of the kills that are done only for the chear fun of it. You can never prevent it and nor should you, killing for fun would most likely even happen IRL, (if there was a real zombie apocalypse) there is always some psychopaths out there. But I would like to see more of the killings have more thought and motives behind them and also outcomes that doesn't end up with everyone shooting each other. The game would be more dynamic and interesting for everyone both friendly survivors and scum bag killers.

Yeah I have the exact same problem =/, found some posts about fixes but nothing worked. Well I was rather supprised that I got this game to work without any problems what so ever so I guess its about time something fucked up :P.
