Also, I'm 90% sure that you got ArmA II for about $5 in the Humble Bundle sale...

If it was getting to hot his system would shut down to prevent damage. This doesn't sound like a heat issue to me. I think you might be running out of video memory. Try flushing your video memory every once in a while and see if it extends your play time... Hold left shift and hit the numpad - key, then let go of both buttons and type the word "FLUSH". I'm not sure how you can fix this on a long term basis, but if this extends your play time then at least you will have identified the issue.

Why? There's plenty of loot in the stable servers that aren't literally full 24/7 and are restarted often enough.

I'm done playing for the minute. Will start playing again when the new patch hits stable. Played it a little bit and it's great but the experimental servers aren't restarted often enough for the game to be playable.

Get off the coast. All the coastal towns are gonna be looted already ergo not worth checking. Loosely follow a road inland, by the first or second town you come to you'll start finding a lot more loot.

Needs moar flares and chemlights.

If it was simple desync then the desynced player would run on the the spot or continue running in one direction while out of sync until the server and client caught up with each other like in most other games. It's a more complex issue.

I like the realtime day/night cycle, but I think it should be a little bit easier to see. Think ArmA 3, not Hollywood nightime though.

How many times have you left it at the main menu overnight? xD

They're having a proper sound team come in and sort everything out a bit further down the line. Pretty sure it's in one of the stickied topics. Edit: 'While some changes have been made we just hired a dedicated audio designer who will be teamed up with an audio programmer to completely revamp the way sounds work. We feel sound is very important for DayZ so we are really committed to this.' http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/153994-early-access-important-information-known-issues/

I'm glad that you managed to fix the issue but I haven to ask why you're using this configuration? :wacko:

Desync and rubberbanding are two very different things.

Mos1ey's guide to setting up a new game... 1) Turn the graphics settings all the way up. 2) Turn the mouse sens and music volume all the way down. 3) ????? 4) Profit. Honestly, I don't know anyone that plays games (other than L4D because the music notifies you of hordes, tanks etc.) without disabling the music. It makes it difficult to hear vital in-game sounds like footsteps, comms or distant gunshots and generally gets in the way. Also people that don't think to disable the music are at a big disadvantage IMO.

But they affect the visual fidelity of the game, which is their function.

Those screams... 10/10

What isn't working in the graphics options? :S

^This. Or you end up with... Add Features > Test > Fix Bugs > Optimise Performance > Test > Fix Bugs > Add More Features > Test > Fix Bugs > Optimise Performance > Test > Fix Bugs > Feature Complete > Test > Fix Bugs > Optimise Performance > Test > Fix Bugs. And everything takes a lot longer.

Interesting, I didn't actually know about this. Will have to give this a go tonight and report back...

People used to trade via the forums all the time in the mod. It's a risky business and of course you'll get screwed over sometimes, but a lot of people had success with it too.

I never mentioned the coast or new players. All I said is that 1 vehicle per 2 players is too many... If anything that's worse because half the server (usually more, in all honesty) is on the coast, that means every player up north would have a vehicle... It really doesn't take long to gear up. I'm fully geared within 2 hours pretty much every life. All that's left after that is replacing items with pristine versions and finding TTSKO clothing. In the mod finding your favourite weapons and a full toolbelt (including night-vision, range finders and GPS) used to take a decent amount of time. In fact you were very lucky to ever have all of those things on one char. The sense of progression just isn't there right now.

This is definitely something that needs to be added. The number of times I've been screwed over by backpacks and restarts is unreal... I'd like to see a 15, 10 and 5 minutes until restart countdown.

Currently that's 1 for every 2 players in the server. Way too many IMO. I think that what we need right now is more items. Gearing up does not take long enough. You can have a 'maxed out' char in a couple of hours, where it should take weeks. Vehicles should be an after thought, more of a long term thing.

Honestly I don't understand why people have their panties in such a bunch over vehicles. You know there will only be a few on each server and you won't have one 90% of the time anyway, right?

Yeah, sometimes it takes a few tries but it does usually work. :)
