This is going to sound really noob-ish, but the title pretty much sums it up. How do I aim in DayZ/ARMA 2? Let me be more specific: It seems like something is really wrong with aiming in DayZ. Whenever I move my mouse, it seems like there is a slight delay (we're talking a fraction of a second here) before my cursor responds in-game. Then, when I stop moving it, it doesn't seem to stop immediately. It decelerates to a stop. These issues, plus the absurd amount of visual blurring when you turn your head, make it really difficult for me to aim. I don't understand it. I play other FPS's like TF2 and CoD, and have no problem there. It's just this game specifically. This usually results in me being destroyed by one lone zombie because I can't line up a headshot with my pistol. However, on Youtube and livestreams, I see people mowing down groups of moving zombies with headshots (which is insane considering how fast the zombies move and how messed up their pathing is). How is it that these people have no problem with aiming? Is it because I just suck, or is there some kind of magical gameplay setting or combination of settings that will make the aiming seem more...for lack of a better word...responsive?

Hi, I've been playing DayZ for about a month now, and the whole time, I've had a strange graphical glitch. I tried to fix it a while ago, but I couldn't, so I just gave up. Ever since I've been playing, the grass textures have been messed up. On the edges of literally every blade of grass there are these white dots. This greatly decreases my fps. Since I can't get Steam Overlay to work while playing and I can't take a screenshot any other way while in fullscreen mode, here are some links to other forums about the same issue that have screenshots on them: http://dayzmod.com/f...e-in-the-grass/ http://dayzmod.com/f...tupid-question/ Before you ask, Yes, my drivers are all up to date. One thing talked about on all of the forums is Anti-aliasing. People say that changing your AA to something below "very high" will fix the problem. Here's the problem: my Antialiasing setting has two options: very low or disabled. The glitch happens when it's set to very low. When I turn it off, the white dots in the grass disappear, but are replaced by another graphical glitch: the ground around me (and only around me) turns completely white. Not bushes and grass on top of the ground, and not streets, paved surfaces, or the insides of buildings. Just the ground around me. However, with the white dots gone, my game is running at a much higher fps. Please respond if you have even the slightest idea on how to fix these glitches. I would really like to play the game with the graphics acting normal. Thanks in advance!

Having a bit of an issue here. I put the files from the torrent in Steam/steamapps/common/arma 2 operation arrowhead/@DayZ/addons, replacing then with the ones that were already there. Now, whenever I join a server running 1.7.2.5 I get stuck at the loading screen. Unless this is Rocket's idea of "optimizations to the login process," I'm assuming I did something wrong. Last night SixLauncher told me there was an update to DayZ (I didn't have time to play when I installed the update manually that morning), but it still said I was running 1.7.2.4 when it was done. Did SixLauncher revert all of my files to 1.7.2.4 again? Is that my problem?

Well...I was going to sit this one out, but now I feel the need to throw my lot in with this verbal clusterfuck. First of all: This isn't true in the least bit. You started this topic by stating your belief that, deep down, all player-killers were murderous, evil psychopaths in real life. Hell, I've never even killed a player in DayZ and even I feel insulted by this. So yes, you were attacking people, and a whole lot of them at that. Although AzinGaming may have been very blunt about his views, I have to say I agree with him. A game is a game. That's not to say I don't feel any emotion while playing it. Was I about to have a heart attack when I thought someone was in the same building as me? Hell yes I was, to the point where I camped in a corner for ten minutes and emptied half of an AK-74 mag into the wall because I thought I saw somebody (I don't even think there was ever anyone there in the first place). However, did I come away from that situation thinking that, if there had been someone there and if they had shot me, that would have made me absurdly upset and ruined my entire day? No. I actually was awed that a simple video game had that effect on me. And at the end of the day, DayZ is just that: a game. In case you're wondering, I don't believe in karma. And I'm not here to step on anyone else's beliefs, unlike you and AzinGaming have been doing. However, I am rather insulted that you've implied that I'm illogical (karma is "demonstrable with simple logic," as you say). I think of myself a very logical, which is why I don't believe in karma. But whatever. It is what it is, I suppose. I do know that my actions towards someone in a video game will affect them in real life. I just assume that they will be reasonable like myself and say "Oh well, I guess I'll give this another try." The fact that people are even able to think this while playing video games shows the difference between video games and reality. In real life, the person I just shot wouldn't be thinking anything because he'd be dead. Quite frankly, the inability to draw a very distinct line between video games and reality is the difference between casual gameplay and the Columbine Massacre. On a lighter note, congratulations to AzinGaming for being so awesome that he is identified as more than one man: You have my beans, sir xD

Same here. Been playing for a few weeks without much luck. Tired of getting instagibbed whenever I walk out into the open. It'd be great to have a small squad to play with. Safety in numbers. I'm currently hiding out in the woods north of Balota Airfield. I don't have a specific server that I play on, either, and I think we're in the same timezone (Eastern Standard, still don't really know the whole UTC/GMT thing works). Message me on Steam if you're interested. My steam name is Fac3Value.
