Lets make it a little easier for the Devs
chris_heyward replied to chris_heyward's topic in General Discussion
I was going to put that on the list but like it says, its a list of the top 10 complaints. AFAIK Dean is constantly working on the Zed issue and has some decent ideas for them. -

Should my comp be performing better?
chris_heyward replied to Solopopo's topic in General Discussion
Don't forget that the system he bought is running Vista... ewww... Vista isn't the most optimized OS. There are also loads of un-needed services and programs you can disable to improve performance. I use Razer Game Booster with a custom services file, BlackViper Win7 Tweaks (Has Vista too but be careful using it if you have no idea what you are doing) and use Ccleaner or run 'msconfig' and take out all the crap that starts when your PC boots (again, if you don't know what you are doing, this can screw up your PC). There are also tweaks for DayZ out there where you modify the DayZ config files. That helped me gain an extra 20 FPS with my crappy nVidia 450 GTS. -

I play EvE Online alot and the mechanic they use is awesome. Basically, If you have aggression(combat timer) and you log off, you warp off and stay in space for 5 minutes and someone has to find you if they want to kill you. If you are currently engaged in battle and you log off, you basically stay there if warp scrambled and you die. Pod goes too if there is a Sabre pilot near you. muhahaha If I remember rightly, DayZ Origins had something in place to stop this. When you logged off, regardless of a combat timer, your character would have a really dramatic fake death animation so you knew for a fact they logged off. -
I dont understand why there is no AUTO RUN KEY!!!
chris_heyward replied to Bohannan (DayZ)'s topic in Suggestions
Steam do an auto run feature. Google it. I have never used it though. I have my trusty coin or piece of card to hand. It works wonders as I smoke alot and roll my own as I run and just occasionally tweak the mouse so I don't get stuck on trees. ***EDIT** My bad. Apparently they disabled the Steam Autorun in DayZ SA -

Hence the poll. I know its in Alpha, you know its in Alpha but all the people complaining are either sharing their opinion and failing to use the search function or they do no understand the concept of an Alpha and think they were robbed of their parents cash. This poll is just to make it a little easier on the Devs (if they ever read it). Hopefully, they will see that say 70% of people want something done urgently and go ahead and put it on a priority list and bang it out in the next update and then less people will be complaining. -

We do. We love you all :D -

chris_heyward replied to chris_heyward's topic in General Discussion
I know they are the biggest things to fix but they should have their own separate vote as they are separate problems. The game is not unplayable. Unplayable means that you CANNOT play it whatsoever. You can play it, you just chose not to. -

Dean has mentioned that character wipes WILL happen in SA but that has only happened to me once. The random wipes people are getting are down to the server hosting company not setting the server up right. Rocket cannot do anything about that. I was thinking of adding this personally but Rocket knows about the issue and is probably working on it. -
Hi all, Since the release of DayZ Standalone, we have all noticed a never ending amount of repetitive posts/complaints referring to the same damn thing. Its going to take the Devs years to sort through all the tears from the past few weeks which is going to delay the fixing of these issues. So.... I have come up with an idea of doing a poll where you can select one thing you think needs to be changed and hopefully the Devs will pick what the community wants most and fixes said issue thus stopping 60% of tears and allowing them to concentrate on other things or have a life. I have picked the top 10 complaints from both the Forum and DayZ Bug Report/Feedback site since SA was released. If you vote, please only vote if you believe that it is of utmost importance and needs to fixed ASAP. This poll is probably not going to stop these annoying repetitive posts and even if said change is fixed, more repetitive posts will probably appear and annoy everyone again. At that point, I hope that BI or the Devs would have created a filter to stop multiple threads regarding the same issue(s). Be4st

Commands to raise hands and flip off

F3 is to sit and you have to bind, say F4 to 'Taunt' which is in the control settings. Under the interaction drop-down menu if I remember rightly -
Best surround headphones for around £50
chris_heyward replied to trialsiain13's topic in Technology/Programming
I use a SteelSeries Siberia V2. Its not 7.1 or even 5.1 but I hear crystal clear audio and when playing DayZ, I can hear EXACTLY where the shot came from. This was majorly improved when I started to use a free tool called Razer Surround and set it up correctly. Others have said that nothing can beat the SteelSeries Siberia V2 combined with the Astro A40 Mixamp for game sound including the flashy £500 headsets. And what's even more awesome (and I can personally vouch for this), is that SteelSeries was pretty damn cool when my headset broke after 8 months. They sent me out a brand spanking new one and a new 3 year warranty. -

[Suggestion] Stop Combat Loggers and ALT-F4'ers
chris_heyward replied to frostknivez's topic in General Discussion
^^ What he said. Learn to use the search function. Its alot like Google. You would find in excess of 1000 threads about this issue. No one eh? I would like that. Screwed up your comment didn't I? lol -
Seems legit, are players already hacking?
chris_heyward replied to exurok's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, I was going to link that also. What's funny is the hacker said he was only doing it so he could kill snipers with his hax. He must be really butthurt and probably died once to a sniper and lost 2 cans of beans. I hope BI/Dev team can fix that. But then again, he could just do it the slow way and server hop like a boss to get a better tactical advantage -
