Okay couple more questions that are gonna sound retarded but .. If you ''log out'', does that essentially save your inventory? heard somebody say it's good to do periodically almost like a ''save game''..+ is there a failsafe way to ''leave'' the game without any bullshit occuring/losing everything? and is there any way to get rid of the ridiculous glitchy sky/horizon if you look at a certain angle? tried changing a few settings but no luck - just took another path. oh and night servers? is there anyway I can avoid them? i guess it's time zoned and I will play more at night but I literally cannot see more than 2ft in front of me in some buildings which is annoying when you have barely any kit.. and one more, when looting towns/buildings i've noticed loot tends to be randomly in front door ways or inside buildings you can open. any other places loot spawns in particular? like randomly in backyards or something? I was in some smaller town and according to a day-z map somebody linked me there was literally 15 dots for loot spawn and I could only find 2 or 3 things

Awesome, have my beans sir. Also has the side chat always been that way? Everytime I watch gameplay videos it's like a endless stream asking to meet up for trades and other trolling opportunities - on mine it just feels dead. At least global chat in that respect would make it feel more like a ''world'' full of players.

Nah - it'll be your specs No, if anything Arma Free would be your best option because it has lower res textures than the paid for game. I don't think you're gonna have much luck running it on your laptop with a intergrated graphics chip like that i'm afraid. You'd probably get better results building a budget desktop for $300 if that's a option?

So I missed the 40% off steam sale waiting on my new GPU to arrive and payday to hit (a day after the sale ended, FML big time - should have just dipped into my savings account) So where's the next cheapest place for a download or is steam still the cheapest? I'm in the UK btw - can I buy from abroad as a digitial download? Cheapest i've seen is £20 in the UK. Ridiculous how it was $14.99 which is around £8 - kinda makes me less inclined to drop £20+ on it even though it's probably worth it. inb4 poorfag, get a job etc. I'm saving to move in my own place when my girlfriend graduates uni and gets her ass a job. life >> games.

Well that was pretty much my thinking. I'm not a Arma 2 player, but day-z interests me but i'm not prepared to blow £30 just for a mod in alpha stage that might never get even a beta if it is released for Arma 3. I'm sure i'd probably enjoy Arma 2 vanilla but I have a bunch of games I haven't really touched and because Day-Z is different I would be prepared to drop £10 for it...

Isn't the Arma 2 free ''low res textures'' though? Or is it just fanboys wanting everyone to spend their money? I'd be willing to pay £20 for the experience but i'm pretty tight with my money and after seeing a almost half price sale it's put me off haha

Yes it's gonna be another ''what do I need to run day-z'' thread. But I have done my research and soon as I decide another card or review pops up! So to make it easier for everyone, all I need is a new GPU. I hand built my desktop for intensive music production a year ago so have a good gigabyte mobo, decent case, quad core, 8gb ram, good psu and all the bells and whistles (yup im being vague ha) BUT....my GPU is a Radeon HD 5450. (feel free to troll me but i only needed something cheap) so...my budget is £200. which is allegedly $310 dollars according to google but the prices are never relative anyway. if possible i'd like to shave a £10-30 off that though for the sake of a extra 3fps or something ridiculous. looking to run DayZ (obviously) at close to max if possible at 1920x1080 on a single monitor (22 inch widescreen asus) So far i've seen a GTX 480 for £179.99, but i've heard it's pretty noisey and the power consumption is insane, so I'd rather avoid this but i'm not actually sure if it's urban legend haha. £169.99 for a Radeon 6950 IceQ X PLUS Edition. £179.99 for a Zotac GTX 560ti which comes pre-overclocked (heard good things but apparently lags a bit in towns on dayz?) £179.99 for a XFX AMD Radeon HD 7850 2gb £199.99 for a second hand Asus nVIDIA SLI GeForce GTX 570 in perfect condition £180 for a Radeon HD7850 2GB £199.99 for a Radeon 5850 1GB Card Thoughts? Or alternatives? I'm ordering in the next 2 hours so any advice would be great!!

Think I'm about to go with the Radeon Sapphire 7850 for 199.99 including delivery. Fuuuuuuu. I don't know haha..

Is the 570 the best card on the list? I thought 199.99 for it was a steal second hand considering i've seen it for £250+ Haha this is why it's been so hard to make my decison. Everytime I've made my mind up i've seen another bad review on a card or some fault...Or even one card overclocks better so in theory is better than a more expensive card and so on. Well I have a 320gb 10000 RPM Drive and a 500gb 7200 rpm Seagate drive internally which are both pretty clean cuz I have 2 2tb external HD's and a 500gb seagate external with all my music production stuff on it, with a overclocked quad core i7 and a good mobo/psu so I'm assuming i'd be okay. w/ dual boot windows xp and windows 7 ultimate..

First post, first troll. Awesome! <3 Thats what I thought. Then you read how so and so card is better than the 560ti or is on par with it with less power consumption or less overclocking ability...Argh.
