This is what makes it so refreshing. The fact that after wasting tens of thousands of guys without a second thought, I'm actually sorry about the guy I killed yesterday when I panicked. When your a noob just getting in and out of Electro is a nightmare, failed twice last night. :)

That's me right now, imagine my eyes light up when I found my first AK and my disappointment when I died with it in my hands 15mins later. Epic lol.

There are several nvidia card owner having fps problems at present, I'm using a 560ti 448 and could run arma 2 on Ultra at 60 fps but now struggle to get 25 fps. Dayz has got worse over the last few days but no one has an solid answer. You shouldn't struggle with a 670! Either the 301.42 (think that's right) drivers or a 1.7.2.5 issue? That's only a guess though...

I'm having the same problem and have a 560ti 448. I have used the latest drivers since I installed the card but only had fps problems the last few days. So don't think it's that, some have rolled them back though. Others saying it's a Dayz 1.7.2.5 issue but I can't even play Arma 2 sp now.

I've maybe been killed by one hacker in over a week, i usually keep to the UK servers like UK120 or UK190. Never been teleported etc etc. :thumbsup: Famous last word i guess... :|

I met someone like this yesterday, he had played a while by the look of his ghillie suit and silenced AR. He was helping this dude through Electro so i tagged along. Bandits heard our chatter i think, we made a dash for it but he got shot and DC. The other guy went down and i ran right into another bandit, i heard some guy said sorry and bam i was dead. At least he tried, lol.

I was new'ish to both PC and Dayz, only played CSS and Red Orchestra 2 before and not had my PC more than a couple months. I'm a jaded 360 player at heart. I bought my PC for Arma 3 and wasn't planning on buying number 2, a friend told me about DayZ and i thought i'd give it a go. Be warned, its a mare to actually get running at all, takes a lot of folk plenty of messing about. That annoyed me no end, then the first time i played i got chased into the woods by a zed and walked for miles, off the map and back again. Died of thirst in sight of a buliding, felt like a Rambler sim and i wasn't impressed. However, it gets under your skin, you learn the controls, learn the map and spawn points (download one off the net and keep an eye out for road signs ;) ) Then you die lots and get chased all over by zeds.Time goes on, you get some supplies, a gun maybe and die again. You start over and over, getting hunted by everything with two legs, occassionally meeting nice folk who help. You see the odd guy, follow him for a while, watch him die, rob his corpse :lol: and so it goes on. A week or so later, just when you've got all you need to live in the wilds, you venture one last trip into a village and die yet again. Then start all over and thats where i am now. Trying to get to the hospital and out of Dodge, its harder than it looks. Try playing in the early morning, UK time for me. Less bandits about. Its brutal, hard work to get running but quite possibly the best game i have ever played, glitches/hackers and all. B)

I walked out there on my first spawn, from the SW somewhere. Didn't dawn on me it was off the map, walked and walked until I got bored, then headed back. Got list in the wood, found the edge of the nap again so turned and headed back into the woods. Died of thirst within sight of my first building. Doh!

Well i'm guessing its DayZ on tv :huh:

Surely this section is for exactly this type of question? New guys asking the wiser how things work, one thing I hate the most is folk being rude just for the sake of it. You didn't have to read it or post!! ;)

Looks sweet. :thumbsup:

I think this is a great idea and said as much in the suggestion section. :beans:

I don't kill on purpose, got killed twice last night in Electro buy a group and a guy just hunting players. I did wack some poor dude when I panicked in the fire station tower. Wasted a whole clip of AK rounds in him as he didn't drop. Poor fella, sorry dude :( I'm in GMT +1 if you wanna buddy up? No idea how I add you though? I'm new to pc but am on a UK server most nights.

There is quite a performance hit between the two, I was playing on Ultra on Arma 2 but have to drop to high for OA/Dayz. I'm using a 560ti so this doesn't help much I know, sorry.

I'm using these drivers on my 560ti 448, was ok a week or so ago so I don't think it's a driver issue. I've had these drivers for a good couple months, since I first installed my card and it updated. Only had trouble with dayz over the last few days. I've made a post here, http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/72364-sudden-fps-drop/ Some seem to think it's a 1.7.2.5 issue with the last update. I'm gonna roll back to 1.7.2.4 and try that tonight. If I can find a server.

Well at least I'm not the only one, was thinking my card was faulty. When i look at MSI after burner afterwards, my gpu processing is up and gown more than a whores knickers lol. It's way more stable a line between peek and non peek % while playing RO2. I tried editing my video settings, even dropped then to all "normal" and it made zero difference except the game looked like crap. It's definitely worse in towns and with other players about so that would explain why it drops from my spawn point of to the time I get to town. I'm surprised Arma 2 single player has gotten so bad. That played at better settings than I've ever been able to run Dayz, now it's unplayable. DayZcommander allows you to roll back to 1.7.2.4, i will try that tonight and report back.

I'm on Steam and get in most UK servers, UK ones are great but FR still hang. I try to remember the severs that were good and stick with them, saves the hassle.

According to an article in pc gamer magazine, a top i5 Ivybridge processor it more than enough for gaming and even stated the i7 hyper threading was redundant as games ain't coded to use it. It's certainly over kill in a budget build. They didn't rate the amd chip set though, you might be better off with an i5 2600k

No the flush didn't work :( I tried a couple servers as i got killed twice, made no difference. That wouldn't explain my Arma 2 sp being bad now.

Thanks i will try that. Just some more info, i now can't play Arma 2 sp campaign as its even worse. I'm getting 15-25 fps and i use to run that on ultra and get 60 with vsync? The odd thing is in the title screen, the ship etc its running at 60 fine. Went and tried Red Ochestra 2 and that ran as smooth as butter, solid 60fps with vsync. Could the beta updates be the problem?

I have done that before lol. :blush:

I had loads of trouble getting it to work. I followed a YouTube video, that again didn't work BUT DayZcommander did work after that. I've mentioned this before, check my old posts for a link. Also I've noticed if your not upto date with beta, dayz and DayZcommander then it gives me problems joining some servers. You can check all this by clicking the "versions" tab when you launch commander.

What he said!

I like the idea of a +1000 reward to your humanity, that would work well. I'm sure the system could be set up to track it, it could be simply a change of name colour once your humanity sank below a certain point.

WTF???
