    For the millionth time magazines are NOT clips!

    I totally agree with you OP. Its called a MAGAZINE, as in, I put a fresh MAGAZINE in my revolver. I really wish people would learn this the right way. ;) I suppose the OP can pick up on this, but to anyone that isn't sure, yes, that was a joke.

    Will my computer run dayZ

    Depends on if that 2.2ghz is a modern dual/quad core or an older single core. Based on the pairing with an 8400GS, I'm going to guess its the latter. In that case, probably not on anymore more than very low detail at low resolution. If for whatever reason you're on a limited budget and want that computer to do what it can, upgrade the CPU to whatever your socket can handle from ebay and put a modern graphics card in there. That should make the game playable.
  3. Hey guys, Just got started with this game. This is my first few hours of attempting stealth, avoiding zombies, and finding loot summed up in one clip. My only criticism so far is that it seems a bit choppy. I don't have the sleekest rig so I'll probably run through one of the 'video settings' tutorials and tinker with some of the effects to get a smoother experience. The motion blur was irritating me, but, as I understand it, turning off post-processing effects removes this? I've been following this game for some time before jumping into it (had some projects to finish first before I could take some time off). I heard all the commotion about removing the starting weapon and such. Not sure if things have been changed since then in later updates, but in my first two characters I was able to find a hatchet pretty quickly. I think thats a decent compromise. Maybe if you wanted to make it a bit easier have players start with the hatchet, but I can't say I'd complain if they don't. I think it would work either way.

    Some video of my first few hours of game play

    Felt about as useful as the stuff I did find :)

    Controversial Topic: BANDITRY IS DEAD.

    I think its rather interesting that one of the reasons people choose not to attempt a robbery is that the other person might shoot them back, especially in a world where there is a strong chance the other person is armed. This is what gun rights advocates have been claiming for years - that muggers might think twice if they think their target is armed. Obviously, you don't have the disconnect problem IRL, and I guess you could say it promotes a shoot first mentality. I just found the parallel interesting.

    Help with Laptop Spec

    I need help

    Dump a dedicated video card in that uses less than 75 or 100W (whatever the limit on the PCI-ex bus is) and you'll probably be fine using the power supply you have. If you don't have a pci-ex slot I think you're going to be pretty hindered by the onboard graphics.
