I get this error every time I launch the game, it doesn't seems to be causing me any trouble but I would like to know how to get rid of it. I've searched the forums but I haven't found any threads about this. EDIT: Possible useful information, Im on the latest Nvidia drivers (332.21) but I never install the 3D view drivers since I have no interest in getting 3D glasses and I've heard these drivers tend to affect performance, could this be the issue?

As the titles states, what's difference between one and the other?

Playing in first person only servers is definitely worth it once you get used to it, it's more immersive and while you do lose an advantage so does everybody else, so you end up feeling a little bit safer after a while. My only concern here is figuring out if Hardcore servers have other effects like changing the balance and so on, if possible I would like to play in servers that are FPV only but remain with the default balance.

That worked, thanks a bunch!

Thanks, but I've tried that already and no new files were recovered.

I would like the next few updates to focus on zombies. I want zombies to respawn, I want to see them in increased numbers, I want to see them not going through walls and I want to see them roaming areas outside of cities. Once we get all that (which Im guessing will take a few months) the game will hopefully change quite a bit making stealth and survival more important elements in the game rather than just killing people and hoarding military weapons.

Im sure by now we've all seen the hunger/thirst video and started eating/drinking anything on sight as soon as we come across it. Problem is, it takes too damn long to eat anything, filling up my stomach can take up to twenty minutes of me sitting watching the same animation over and over while Im exposed and by the time Im full I feel as if I've eating half the food in Chernarus. I think there's probably a few ways to make this better: 1-Give me an option to eat an entire can of beans/tuna/whatever instead of 25% portions, Im ok with the animation taking a little longer. 2-Either reduce the stomach's size slightly, or increase the amount food fills you up, if I eat a whole can of beans Im going to be pretty full, yet in DayZ I can eat 4 full cans in a row and Im still not even close to being full, did my character used to be morbidly obese or something? To counter this perhaps the availability of food could be reduced, so food fills you up faster but there's less of it. Finally, Im sure this has been reported but here goes anyways because why not: Eating something from the inventory menu doesn't always work, sometimes my character will unequip his weapon and then just stand there with his fists up, doing nothing. In these cases I have to spam the Eat command until it finally works. It's a bit clunky, and always makes me feel uneasy because equipping a weapon and actually getting the character to hold it in his hands is quite an adventure. In before "alpher", I kno guise, it's coolio.

Wow mister leet man, that was really helpful advice! Thankfully we have a master hackor like you to provide us with useful advice!

Sup gang, hope you are having a good new year. I realize that some of the questions Im going to ask will have answers that are subject to change and/or are a byproduct of unfinished features, but Im struggling to see the differences between ruined and pristine equipment. Logically I try to grab anything that's in good condition, but I've eaten plenty of "badly damaged" food which as far as I can tell has given me the same nutrition as food in a "pristine" condition to make me wonder how this system really works. So far the only item that seems to change gameplay-wise is the rifle scope, which will be next to useless when damaged. So here goes: 1-Is a "badly damaged fresh banana" the same as a "pristine rotten banana"? I going out on a limb and guess that the former is fine for consumption but will provide less nutrition than one that's pristine and that the latter will still get me sick regardless of its condition, but I would like some confirmation. 2-What's the difference between a badly damaged shirt and one in pristine condition? Does one provide more protection against cold/damage than the other one? Im guessing the answer is yes but is that system actually functional in the game? 3-Same question, but applied to backpacks, they seem to be able to carry the same amount of loot so I guess what changes here is how rapidly will the stuff in it decay, is this correct? 4-And what about weapons? Does a badly damaged stock on my M4 affects accuracy? 5-Finally, what about medical equipment? If I use something that's damaged will it decrease its effectiveness or will it have some alternate effect like increasing the chances of getting an infection after use?

Im sure it'll be added eventually, they've just added the option for FPV only servers which Im guessing is a rather experimental thing. For the time being the easiest way to find FPV only servers is to search for the word "off" in the server browser.

I typically switch to third person view in open areas and then back to first in towns to help aiming better, but today I tried the FPV servers for a while. It's a bit hard to get used after playing both the SA and the mos using TPV so long, but once you do get used to it you can see the advantages. It's harder for me to see other players, yes, but it's also harder for them to see me. Somehow this makes me feel safer, it's also nice to know that in the chance of an encounter we'll both have equal opportunities. If you are on the fence about FPV servers give it a go, I think Im going to try to stick with them for now, it feels "right". Protip: disable the headbob from the Gameplay menu, it'll drastically improve your FPV experience. Also, try messing around with the FOV, a high value will allow you to see more but will also distort the image in close quarters, which might make dizzy in some cases, a low FOV will make you see less, but objects will have a more realistic looking scale and you'll be able to judge distances better, funny thing I've learned playing racing simulators :D

I would like to apply to become a bodyguard, but I've been waiting for my account to be approved for a few days with no luck, same username as here, is there anything I should do?

Are those the same guys messing up the Rust servers? Because if so they are seriously rustling my jimmies.

Don't think it would be, mirroring animations is extremely easy and Im almost certain that the ArmA engine already supports it. The only problem would be adding a new option on the UI. As long as this doesnt involve adding new content (ie. weapons with the ejection port on the other side) it should be fairly straight forward.

What are your graphics settings? I dont get this issue so it would be helpful to compare. I have: Objects: Normal Terrain: Very High Clouds: Very High Shadows: Very High Textures and filtering on High. AA is set to normal. Alpha to coverage: All Vsync: Off HDR: Normal Ambient Occlusion: OFF Post Effects: Off Motion Blur: Off

Im currently fully geared and Im looking for something to do, I was thinking of becoming a ranger and helping people out by hunting bandits, but I feel that becoming a personal bodyguard for a medic would be much more entertaining. With some luck eventually we'll be able to gang up and create self sufficient groups of vagrant doctors without the fear of getting KoS.

I like the idea that in DayZ there's no leveling system required for knowing how to do stuff, but with that said, in some cases Im forced to check external sources such as wikis to figure out how certain things work (like the saline solution). I think a good way to help players figure stuff out without hand holding them would be to add a series of short instructional survival books in the game with explanations on several subjects such as medical treatment, weapon maintenance, cooking, navigation and so on. Whether or not reading these books would be a requirement to be able to do these things is something I'll leave up for discussion since Im neither for or against it, but I do think that if such an item were to be introduced it would have to be fairly common.

Ok, so judging by your sources (which all use some sort of method to enhance the muzzle flash), I take it that your insinuation that you've been in combat and experienced this yourself is completely fake (surprise!). Watching your credibility run to the ground has been fairly entertaining, I was sure you were 13 years old from your first hyper-reactive post, but now it has been confirmed. Next time you go on the internet randomly insulting people like a rabid dog please try to create your argument in a way that wont make you look like a fool.

As the title suggest, from time to time I see a sort of heat haze effect on the screen (mostly on far away objects) and I've been wondering if it's indeed caused by the heat or if it's some sort of status indicator, like the screen going monochrome when you are low on blood.

Yeah, I thought so too, but I could swear I've seen it during night time too, hence my doubt.

A backstory wouldn't prevent you from creating your own, it would basically act as a setup. Rocket makes the world, we fill it in.

Something somewhat similar I've been wondering: Are "we" native to Chernarus or did we arrive from another location hoping to find a new chance in this locale? The fact that you start at the coast seems to suggest that pretty much everyone in the game is an outsider, and that the local population has been wiped out already, in a way, this makes sense since Chernarus is somewhat desolate, so it's probably much better than a large city. I know Im reading way too much into it, but I enjoy the roleplaying aspects of it too :) EDIT: TIC321, I love that idea.

Dear mother of god, what's wrong with your attitude man? Do you go around talking to everybody you meet this way? Chill out, we are talking about muzzle flashes here, not a world threatening matter. Let's try something, just for kicks will ya? Pretend you are a grown up, and try talking to others in a respectful manner, like if they were grown people too discussing VIDEO GAMES, just for fun. Who knows, maybe you'll actually enjoy not getting into an argument every five minutes. I would have figured that if you really do have combat experience as you suggest you do then somebody would have taught you some discipline, SHOW IT.

I still think the hunger and thirst systems are a little bit overdone though, in real life I dont need to eat and drink two gallons of water every 30 minutes, and I certainly dont die if I dont eat every two hours or so. I get it, it's a game so the time it should take between meals shouldn't be the same as in real life because that would render looting pointless, but I think that the amount of food/health you receive on each intake should be enough to somewhat replenish your hunger/thirst without having to eat ridiculous amounts of food all the time. "But hurr durr, it's an alpha", I know, which is why Im providing feedback on the subject.

60 hour gameplay? Wasn't the game released like 3 days ago? Do you even stop to eat or sleep? I can understand how you would be burned out after such an insane amount of hours. Hopefully when you come back (because you will), you'll be a bit more careful with that :)
