Unrein

Someone needs to do a checkup on the database. Nothing but player character data is saving.

Me and my friends have been having problems with saving as well. It doesn't seem ANYTHING but the players save into the Hive. Tents, vehicles and barbed wire all reset on server restarts. We've witnessed this on DK1, UK122 (or similar), Norway 39 and FI21 so far.

The game loads Chernarus only once, so after successfully joining a server once (or using that start command) it won't affect your load times. Besides, the part where people tend to get stuck is where the client is communicating with the server, so there's little you can do client side.

All I ask is that it will be sufficiently optimized. I'm already playing at the peak of my computer's performance at nearly the lowest settings, so I hope the Arma 3 graphical improvements won't be that taxing (or will be actually properly optimized this time...), or can be turned off without compromising said performance.

To put it in Fallout terms... I think your "Perception" stat needs a boost.

This is functionally no different from server hopping. At the very least, it is horrible gameplay. Not quite certain what should be done about it in a way that is practical within the Arma 2 engine, but this is not how it should be.

Zeds are fairly easy to lose, really. Run into a building with two doors, through bushes or conifers - or simply do a Benny Hill routine around a single building.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

The game is far, far from content complete. How about you come back in a few months?

I know the internet is a wonderful playground for people like you with tiny penis issues, but do shush when the adults are talking.

I've always played with antialiasing off, so I guess I've had ATOC off from the beginning. It really doesn't make much of a difference, maybe a slight one if you're peering into a forested hill.

I've been browsing through all the character models in the game, and found a fairly painless solution for the shiny pants problem. There's a model called "EuroWoman2" that uses the exact same model as the female DayZ player character, but has brown camo pants instead of plain white pants, and a beige jacket instead of a blue one. Switch the DayZ female player model to that one!

I'm not sure I like this (upcoming, thankfully) crude fix to the Alt+F4 problem. Biggest reason is Arma 2/DayZ tends to randomly do a hard crash on my computer, forcing me to reboot - and if I am reading your plans correctly, this would flag me with a penalty of some kind. I sure don't want to be constantly arguing that I wasn't doing anything wrong with some overworked person who handles manual reviews, or whatever. Again, if I am reading correctly, wouldn't prolonging the character logout time to the MMO standard 20 seconds do the trick? Can't the character be killed and its state be saved into the hive in that time?

That's a very nice mockup. Inventory definitely needs to show all possible inventory slots in one screen, and get rid of the text inventory.

This, a hundred times this!
