We'll see with the renderer ;) Min/Rec Specs are probably more accurate for the game post-optimization...

Yeah, you really don't ever want a "Minimum spec" computer. Thats what is the lowest possible required just to boot the game, nevermind running it at a decent framerate even at the lowest settings. Shoot closer to the Recommended spec, whichs till isn't going to max the game.

I WANT SOME BUTTS!

Since the DevTracker doesn't really get updated enough (seriously, I'd volunteer to help update it), I'll post this here: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2f5m7d/whats_the_hired_sound_guy_doing_lately/ck68qze?context=3 Q: "Is there any ETA for this "tech to support the vision" (like Q4 2014)? " A: "I see the snowball effect already happening. Understand though we will get these modules (as in Animation,AI,Sensors,Sound,Particles etc.) one at a time. They take a lot of mandays, and me making a guess is almost the same as making a promise. And Im not at a point where I feel confident enough to make those unless Im 100% sure. What I can say is that I know we will get there. The team is strong, and growth hurdles are mostly gone. We`re in for the long haul and want to see this game flourish down the road."

You kinda sound like the butthurt one here. Butthurt that you can't handle Alpha. Anyway, here is what to expect during Alpha and so on, per Hicks:

Stop yer bitching and come back for Beta/RC/FR Per Hicks on what to expect from Alpha, etc:

Not really. Just look for one that is as good or better than the "Recommended" System Requirements of the game. Processor: Intel Core i5-2300 or AMD Phenom II X4 940 or better Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7750 with 1 GB VRAM or better For reference on similarly powered GPUs, check here. For similar CPUs, check here.

Not well. Very low level gfx card. So you could maybe run DayZ on the lowest settings... after the new renderer is in place. And you could build a much better PC from parts for not much more money.

So we saw Dean on stage with Sony talkin about the PS4 release. But is DayZ going to have it's own featured panel or presentation at GamesCom this week?

Ermm... he's already stuck there at GamesCom, might as well do something with his time.

They announced the PS4 version, not a release date. Don't jump to conclusions. Rocket has said numerous times this week that PC development is the priority. Don't turn my simple question thread into a PS4 debate, there is a different thread for that.

This tweet from Hicks has sparked a few questions in my mind. I'm wondering if someone from the team has ever laid out exactly what to expect from Experimental and what is expected from players, such as should we be submitting Feedback bug reports.

I've got new parts coming in to build a new gaming PC (after about 6 years on my current rig, plus upgrades over the years). Anyone with hardware similar to an i7-4770k and GTX 770 can comment on how performance is in SA as of now? EDIT: Oops, just realized I posted this in the Mod section. Nevermind.

Just making conversation.

Yeah, I'm not at all expecting optizations yet. Just curious what others are seeing right now. Why would they perform any worse than an i5 or an AMD FX chip? I don't think you're making any sense. Do you have some references on that?

What are your settings?

What Rocket seems to be saying is that they'd really like to get Standalone out this year, that's their target, but if it's not truly ready, it'll be delayed into early next year.

Stuck in debug zone, please teleport out. EDIT: Nevermind, just going to scuicide
