So what's the punishment for alt+f4ing and stuff?

Nice! Thank you :) OnT; Updating now, looking forward to finding ghillie suits ;)

Umm, it's easy to cheat because Battleye sucks. Rocket cannot do much there.

Support. I loved that skin.

Would be nice to get a link

Hello DayZ community! Basically I just saw a post on a forum that got me this idea, that I am 100% sure that pretty much everyone has thought before.. but me. I would really like to see that survivor zombie skins were added to the game. Think about it. Survivor killed by zombie > rots > zombie eh? I know this isn't game changing, but it would be really cool to see! Although it might look like a survivor from distance.. But that's just realistic ;)

No thanks

You sound truly professional. Tell me more about how you use the map to get the distance.

I have the same problem. Since 1.7.2.3, I've gotten serious fps drops.

I choose the AKM due to zeroing and I like the iron sights more. I would even pick a Lee Enfield over M16A2. Picked it up once, never picking it up again. The iron sights are god awful

+1 for spawning without a backpack

Logged into debug plains and the first thing I head was a shitload of flies, then 1 second after that this guy pops up in front of me and brings out his DMR.. Let's just say that I didn't log back in. By the way! Do I have to walk all the way back to Zelenogorsk when 1.7.2.2 comes or will it get fixed? :(

No, I didn't. I thought of that AFTER I logged out :# And it's a veteran server so can't see his name. Btw, this was on SE 12 at round 20:00 (8:00) gmt +2 time

I don't understand why people kill others in there..

I was walking in some forest, and suddenly I reached the end of the map. I found the northern star, I turned 180 degrees and started walking south, to reach the coast. Suddenly, I saw a lot of names and persons standing in the forest. I shot them all, because I thought it was some clan that was AFK or something. (It was night in-game, and I didn't see jack shit, literally. That was when I noticed I had reached bugforest. Their inventories were completely empty. Suddenly, I saw someone standing next to a tree. I walked up to him, and noticed that he held something. I thought I was just hallucinating, but it actually looked like a M4A1. I hesitated for a bit, and thought "Should I really sho- He moved. I have never been so scared. All of a sudden, he just stuck his gun up my face. It had been quiet and pitch black for like 20 minutes, and all of a sudden he just moves. What was he doing there? He was standing in a forest, pitch black, aiming into a hill, with a M4A1.. As soon as he moved, I fired 8 rounds of Makarov power into his forehead in panic. I fucking screamed. I looted his corpse, and found EVERYTHING possible. M4A1 HOLOGRAPHIC, M1911, both with a hell lot of ammo, and a 24-slot backpack(coyote). I found a map, compass, watch, hunting knife, binoculars.. Sorry for the weirdly written text, I am still shaken up.. Incredibly shocking..

Hello everyone! I need some help with improving my framerates in Arma 2 : OA (or more specifically DayZ mod. EDIT: BEFORE READING, I just want to inform you that the FPS is about the same in the Editor in the Chernarus map, as it is on Multiplayer servers. My computer specs right now sucks, but here they are: Sapphire ATI HD Radeon 4670 512mb gddr3 GPU Corsair 2gb 1333Mhz RAM AMD Athlon x2 240 2.95Ghz (overclocked by 150Mhz.. lol) CPU Corsair 650W PSU Since I am so young, only 15 years old, I don't really have that much money. I solely rely on my allowance, which is around 70 bucks a month. Therefore, I am thinking of buying these parts: Nvidia Geforce 550Ti 1gb GDDR5 Corsair 2gb (add 2gb to my ram, so it's 4gb) And then, about 2 months later, when I have like 140 bucks for a CPU, I will buy the: AMD Quad-Core x4 965BE 3.4GHz Now, here's my questions: 1. Will the parts that I am planning to buy suffice for Normal settings on 1280x1024? 2. Should I buy GPU and RAM first, and then buy a CPU 2 months later, or buy CPU and RAM, and then GPU 2 months later? Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any feedback at all on the parts I am planning to buy. Cheers! :angel: Oh, and also, I currently play on Low at 800x600, with terrible FPS. :'D Postprocessing is off, and so is AA. Lol.

That attidue won't get you far. Anyways, turn off postprocessing, turn off vsync, or just accept that it is Alpha? I don't know, man. You could check in Task Manager that all the cores on your CPU are used when you're in-game, I guess.. Sounds more like GPU though.

Yeah. Don't see how that contributes to my thread that much, but thanks for replying, I guess. Your computer is still way better than mine :p

Okay, around 220-380mb of vram was used. What does that mean? CPU? o_o I got this answer on another forum: "Actually, it depends mostly on how you want to play the game. ArmA2 is known to be overly heavy on the CPU mainly the expenditure of AI and scripting. If you are playing it online on the dedicated servers, the calculations are not made from your computer, instead it is the server you are connected to, that calculates. However, what is calculated locally on your computer, all the graphics, which are more dependent on your graphics card than your CPU. Even when one plays pure pvp missions with no AI modules, it is a very low CPU load. However, if you are thinking to play single player, play in the editor, or host coop missions to play with your buddies, you'll be much more dependent on a fast CPU because your computer must handle all the calculations for AI and any heavy script itself. Even heavier popular mods such as ACE2, WarFX and various alternative AI-modules pulls down the performance a lot. Before Dayz appeared, that was how most people played, and so it has always been high priority on just the CPU in terms of ArmA. This notion is spread obviously forward even now in dayz-strands, as many think "that's ArmA." So, since you mentioned that you intend to upgrade just to play Dayz, which is run by dedicated coop servers and does not allow any other mods, I do not think that you are particularly dependent on all that extra CPU power as the more seasoned ArmA players are. As I said, I base it also on my previous experience with dual-core processor in ArmA2 when it has performed ok on medium settings in the default design, provided that you could have a video card that withstands. The big drawback with your graphics card is not speed, but the low amount of VRAM. ArmA2/OA uses unusually large sets of textures and high resolutions for all objects are rendered, compared to most other games. This related to the large open environments, the amount of zombies / characters, and view distance, makes the 512MB of VRAM is the absolute minimum. According to me anyway, this is the biggest bottleneck in your case, which will further limit your graphics settings pretty hard even if you buy a new processor. It not only offers you low fps, but also frustrating pop-up effects for both the textures and models as you move in the environment. But, whatever you decide to buy, you will anyway get a noticeable boost in the game. The question is just what area you want to improve." It was translated by Google Translate from Swedish to English, so it might be some flaws or something. (I corrected the errors I noticed.)

Seeing this in a window would probably make me shit bricks aswell. Support +1.

Validate game data, worked for me. :D

Alright you guys, I upgraded my ram today to 4gb (only 3gb used right now though, 32bit system). And I actually noticed a slight increase in FPS! That's good news. Other than that, not much to say. Buying a CPU as soon as I can, and then GPU later. Sakke1994, that's very true. I checked some benchmarks and you might just have convinced me. That's nice performance for such a low priced card. Will look into it. Thanks!

4.5GHz 2500k and two 950MHz 6950s shader unlocked runs ARMA II @ 60fps with every setting as high as it goes Asking again :p Do you think Quad Core 965BE on 3.4GHz will suffice on Normal? And will I have to upgrade GPU then? Thanks in advance. If you can't answer, that's ok lol. EDIT: I just want to inform you that the FPS is about the same in the Editor in the Chernarus map, as it is on Multiplayer servers.

Okay, so would the AMD Phenom II Quad-Core(x4..) 965BE on 3.4GHz suffice on Normal? I cannot overclock because my mothercard is a budget one. (Cannot overclock more than like 200MHz due to locked core voltages.) Sandy State Phantom, I estimate my budget to be around this: GPU: 140USD (550Ti) CPU: 140USD (965BE Quad-Core 3.4GHz) RAM: It's like 20 bucks for 2gbs of ram lol I am living in Sweden.
