    FPS in Cities

    I'll try setting my -maxMem to 2048 and see if that helps, I currently have it on 4096. Everything else looks a bit similar other than me using the ATOC on trees and grass (doesn't seem to affect my framerate at all and thankfully I don't get the glitches people mention, I think that might be an AMD issue).

    Did you really put in heart attacks?

    Medical complications like this are why falls and bullets kill you. I have a friend who used to serve in the Royal Navy and one thing he always used to tell me is that it's not the bullet that will kill you but the change in pressure forcing your blood out of your system and causing heart attacks and other nasty things. All this means if you'll want to carry around extra epi-pens, and will finally have a reason to carry around a defibrillator unit. Unless you're a lone wolf, in which case you might as well just kiss your arse goodbye. Is this a serious question? :emptycan: Some of you act so spoiled it's unbelievable, why did you even pay to play an alpha when you were warned about things like this?

    What makes you think the guys working on the medical system are the same guys working on the vehicles, weapons, and zombies?

    FPS in Cities

    That's a lot better than I get around and in big cities, what settings are you using? I'm at 2560x1440 but all my settings are on mostly normal (except texture settings, which I have on high) and I get between 18 and 25 fps in places like those. :( I'm also not using any edits in my config files apart from the ones for GPU render ahead.

    Did you really put in heart attacks?

    I have been running around on experimental and seen no signs of this being the case, I want to refer you back to my posts (#56 and #58).

    Did you really put in heart attacks?

    That's how I am assuming it's being implemented too. We already know that you go in to shock and fall unconscious if your shock level exceeds your blood level and I imagine there will be some "critical" shock level that causes you to have an irregular heartbeat, if this is how it works then we will have an order of treatment to revive an unconscious player: Bandage to stop bleedingCheck pulse for irregular heartbeat/heart attackApply defibrillator unit if necessary to stabilise heart rateApply epinephrine to reduce shock level, or blood transfusion to raise blood above shock levelFeed patient to give them the healing state

    Did you really put in heart attacks?

    You know when there's a horrible accident and the paramedics or surgeons decide to give the patient the paddles? The patient has an irregular heartbeat (fibriliation), a heart attack isn't only brought on by poor health or old age it's also brought on by trauma like being run down, falling from a great height, or being shot.

    FPS in Cities

    Overclocking my i5 made zero difference too, I will try clocking it higher but I'm not optimistic. It's a simple fact that the game doesn't even fully utilise the CPU according to my monitoring, it doesn't fully utilise a single core never mind the whole thing. The issue in cities is most likely something to do with the GPU usage plummeting to around 50% when it's up to 99% elsewhere. Edit: This is not my video, I found it in the bug tracker. It demonstrates the problem perfectly on a system that's up there with the best money can buy. http://youtu.be/9ssjr36NKTE

    FPS in Cities

    This makes the game look horrendous though. I use 500,000 at the minimum because that's the 'normal' setting in-game.

    FPS in Cities

    GPU usage on my GTX 760 drops from 99% to ~50% when I go in to a city that causes a substantial performance hit, and FPS drops to 18-24. I wish I could say that CPU limitation was the problem but at both 3.3GHz and 4GHz my i5 2500k usage never goes over ~70%, mostly on core 0 but never utilising 100% of any core.
  11. The second video on that page. If I knew that guy I would want to pour coke inside his computer.

    Russia also has good footy players.

    Should NV/IR be implemented?

    I'm all for IRNV but the equipment should be rare.

    do backpacks spawn anywhere in electro?

    My advice would be to explore the map, there's a lot more to this game than Cherno and Elektro.
  15. DarkwaveDomina

    Pretty game is pretty.

    Blimey I wish my 760 would do 77 FPS on max settings, I'm getting just short of that with everything on normal. Then again I am running at 2560x1440. :o

    Girl 'abuse' in this game

    They got absolutely fucked up, good for her! :D Edit: After reading through the thread some of you are disgusting and clearly lonely little freaks who need help. I won't name names.

    I dont understand why there is no AUTO RUN KEY!!!

    If that happens then I can assure you I won't, but it will enhance my gameplay experience a great deal if I can use a toggle (without having to mess around sticking something under my 2 key), even if it only means running a half a mile or so without holding W in.

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    You managed to hit the nail on the head there. :D Words like "cheating" and "exploit" are slung around far too much on this board sometimes.
  19. DarkwaveDomina

    I dont understand why there is no AUTO RUN KEY!!!

    The thing is that I do see that the game is incomplete and do want it to be dangerous. I have explained multiple times why my desire for an auto-run key is nothing to do with any reasons like being lazy or wanting the computer to play the game for me, but it seems like a couple of you have no interest in listening to the other side. That's entirely the point I was making, you're being childish and writing our opinions off as "whining and bitching". I don't see how that proves it, and in Rocket's latest stream he said he was shoving something under one of his keys to auto-run so I hope he does bring the feature in at some point. :D

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    Don't worry, that wasn't me being surprised. I just expected a 43 year-old would act their age and not their shoe size. I checked your profile because I suspected I was talking to a kid when you started being petulant and focusing your argument around accusing me of being some cry-baby exploiter stuck in self justification. I'll try to respond to these in one paragraph just so that I'm not making really massive posts. It is gone for now, indeed, that suggests the devs didn't like something about it or didn't like it at all and I am fine with either of these but I just think it's a stretch to call it an exploit. It being counter-intuitive I agree with, if they wanted to design a sprinting mode that simulated some form of arm movement that also made you unable to hold a firearm there are probably many better ways. With regards to fatigue you did actually end up with a shaky crosshair if you used sprint/fist-run, one thing I did notice though is that you didn't pant a lot like you do when you regular-run or jog.

    I dont understand why there is no AUTO RUN KEY!!!

    Has it occurred to you that not everyone who disagrees with you is lazy, a cheater, a noob, or any variation therefore? That some people might simply disagree with you and want to discuss the topic at hand without resorting to childish bullshit?

    I know that feeling. :lol: :blush: Despite the accusations going on in this thread I can't wait until your speed affects your energy and hydration.

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    I'm not trying to convince myself of anything. Not only did you run faster when "fist-running" but there was also a separate animation and breathing behaviour for it, if they didn't do it intentionally then why add those things? Like I said, they might not have liked the implementation and might have even decided to remove it entirely in the last couple of patches, but I'm simply not convinced it was something we could call an exploit because there is evidence of design elements in it. You can be childish and call me an exploiter all you want, I don't personally care if it's removed. I just think calling it an exploit is a stretch. Edit: You are really 43 years old? Fuck me sideways.
  24. DarkwaveDomina

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    That's not what I said or the argument I was making and you know it, but this is nothing new with you is it. I speculate that the devs were trying to simulate that aspect of sprinting by involving an arm movement, there aren't many ways to do this in DayZ and the closest thing is probably putting your fists up as if preparing to punch. If they have decided this isn't a good approach, or that they don't want sprinting in the game at all any more, I am not bothered if they remove it. I am only explaining why it made some sense and why I didn't see it as exploiting the game (as if exploiting a glitch or bug). Edit: Going by our past conversations I am actually pretty sure you knew what I meant and felt like carrying on anyway, would I be right?
  25. DarkwaveDomina

    fist up sprinting no longer?

    I already addressed this in an earlier post, but if you missed it I'll sum it up again: When I go out running and I want to put a sprint on I pump my arms as well as my legs, your limbs co-ordinate and I always assumed that this was simply the devs trying to go for an extra layer of realism. "Fist-running" in DayZ, while moving and not standing still, made your arm movements in front of you much more exaggerated just like a person sprinting. Edit: I'll probably have to add my previous disclaimers again or we'll be going over that too. "Now I will not argue against the notion that it might not have been working correctly, or that maybe the devs don't want it any more, but I wouldn't call it an exploit." Edit 2: How to Sprint.
