ok then :facepalm:

No, i mean using the "launch options", within steam. Right click "DayZ" in the library menu and select launch options. One big problem with this btw, you can't alt-tab out and back in or it crashes i think.

That a VERY good question...

I can confirm that "wtf" does not work as a password.

Win7 64bit. I verified it multiple times. Another guy reported 20fps increase, but i assume that was a rough guess.

Or climb a ladder or eat, etc.

One thing is use Fraps or Dxtory to keep track of fps, i wouldn't try guessing. Using -winxp bumped me up from 37 to 42 fps looking over Zelenogorsk.

Wow, so realistic and authentic.

Object details effect on grass density at least is not nearly what it was in the mod. I have a 570SLI setup with a 4.0ghz 2600+ and i set OD to very low sometimes The shadow detail setting IMO is a much better candidate for being enabled and locked out. One, because the setting barely has any effect on framerate half the time, only occasionally does it greatly effect it IMO, and in some cases its actually higher. Two, it has a huge effect on how visible players are. You might think your hidden in the shadows in an apartment when looking at your dark character against a dark background, but disable shadows and now your practically a black on white silhouette. Three, they look beautiful.

Is that cross eye 3D? Hard to tell.

and the VSS Vintorez, an accurate, silenced rifle.

Couple things that would make it much better i think. I'd really like to be able to control the amount of lean too, so i can just put my head out enough to see what i want to see, and slowly. Also, I'd be cool to be able to peak out of a window in a building, even lean out of big windows. Then an ability to see what you're wearing easier as the inventory screen does not represent what your clothing actually looks like very well. Finally, i think being able to rotate your weapon in your hands to see it better would be very nice. Looking at my weapon is one of the things thats nice about 3rd.

Im going to make colorant for tattooing "BANDIT" on the foreheads of KOS'ers.

I've been using Fraps solidly for the last week up till about a day and a half ago. No problems thus far. I think it probably had more to do with the hack software you were using.

I was going to say "the hell?..." and leave it that but this thread is a perfect example of why a tiny little bit of story would be welcome in my opinion, at least to give meaning to 90% of the violence, because it clearly has nothing to do with survival. (nor bikers and clowns...)

Absolutely.

A good 30% of the friendlies i've come across have payday masks and geared people are often friendly too. First thing i do is gear up with camo/light green clothes and im friendly and don't KOS 99% of the time.

The killing and straight up battles and ambushes make little sense, so they're not realistic at all in the minds of many people. Making murderers part an identifiable [fictional] clan they belong to or part of the military/gov would add more realism. Not at all in my experience. I've met quite a few friendly people with those on.

Its not very creepy either. Cherno is about the only place i can think of that is a little creepy during daytime. Interiors are brightly lit and there is very little sign that anything happened at all. (in alpha...)

Try this, it worked for me and possibly someone else. Go into playback devices, select your device your using, select configure, change to another set of channels(ie, 7.1 stereo, quad, etc) click test. If a prompt comes up saying "device is being used by another app....", click ok and see if that helped. You back out of everything from that point. I have to do this all the time now.

Hell no. At least not super-arcade-easy-to-use like in Arma2.

Currently takes about 10 minutes to restore full blood when "healthy". You get healthy status by eating till it says "healthy" in the inventory.

On the face of it, it may seem more realistic. The Vietnam War reenactment is not. Meaning, the results are not realistic. You can't get away from those results, the KOS PvP, nor would i want to, but at least you can provide some sense to it with a bit of bandit clothing that means something, like they are a faction of some sort. I think a lot of us want to bump into murderers, i do. I want to hunt them and kill them and roast them on the fire. Im not sure about the other guys, but i want MORE pvp than i personally have now, i just need it to make sense. Less danger for murderers, more danger and more boredom for survivors.

From being KOS'ed by me and all the other survivor type players who don't shoot first, thats right. I don't KOS the 5 to 40 people i see in a DayZ session unless they do something "bandity".
