I work as a developer and I know how much work is involved especially with a small team. You get so sucked up in your daily work that you can't spare 5 minutes for a single line in a forum. Nevertheless, this lack of TRANSPARENCY is damaging. I think we all agree DayZ is an amazing idea, but no communication / support can backfire on such a great development*. It would be more than enough to say: "Guys, we acknowledge there are problems with tents / glitches / whatever. We are working hard on this. Currently we are tackling issues XXX. As a workaround you could do this.... We also suggest avoiding using feature XX because it doesn't work properly. We'll post a patch when we are sure things will work. Thank you". * There are a lot of people saying Arma II is full of bugs and because of this is unplayable. It's quite a wide spread misconception, but no less damaging. Poor support for a very popular mod (even in alpha) could create the same stigma ("Isn't this the game that started as that poorly supported mod? Isn't going to happen again?") I started to play ARMA I. I bought 8 copies of A2: OA. I love this game and it hurts seeing the aversion created by a poor public relations management.

New feedback: glitches are back. Location: NW Airfield Sublocations: glitches appeared at the gate in 045046. As I was moving towards the Northen barracks, things got horrible. I got killed (sucks, not a fair fight). I'll provide feedback from Chernarus now. Feedback from Chernarus: - glitches are there. Location: close to the International hotel. - join another server, glitches are gone - join another server, glitches are there again

Additional feedback: I managed to fix the glitches by setting the Scene Complexity to 100.000. While everything working, I set the HDR to high and glitches were all over back. I rolled set back HDR to normal and the glitches continued there. Restarting ARMA had the glitches gone away.

I had severe graphical issues (just like the ones shown in videos) in the NW Airfield, close to the South barracks. As soon as I was looking towards the airport, things become unplayable. As soon as I was looking the opposite direction, everything was OK. Glitches appeared after updating to the latest beta and 1.7.2.4. I tried all fixes and none worked except lowering the Scene Complexity. It is set to 100.000 (100k) and there are no more glitches. I tried it during night time (with flares) and during daytime and it was OK. Nevertheless I didn't have the time to test it more than 5 min. I noticed that a value of 300.000 (300k) also seemed to fix the issues (it is the default value for a new profile). Hardware: - CPU: 2600k (no overclock) - VGA: 7970 (no overdrive) - RAM: 8 GB - HDD: Samsung SSD 830 (256) - latest drivers, BIOS, etc.
