    If you can keep your brains when all about you

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

    If you can trust yourself not to shoot when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their shooting too;

    If you can crawl and not be tired by crawling,

    Or, being lied to, don't deal in lies,

    Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

    And yet don't look too geared up, nor talk too much smack;

    *

    If you can repair cars - and not make cars your master;

    If you can find tents - and not make tents your aim;

    If you can meet with triumph and disaster

    And treat those two imposters just the same;

    If you can bear to hear the call for help you've spoken

    Twisted by bandits to make a trap for noobs,

    Or watch the gear you gave your life to broken,

    And stoop and build it back up with nothing at all;

    *

    If you can make one heap of all your lootings

    And risk it on one box of morphine,

    And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breath a word about your loss;

    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your spawn long after they are gone,

    And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

    *

    If you can talk with pubbies and keep your virtue,

    Or walk with friends - nor lose the common touch;

    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

    If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds' worth of distance crouch-run -

    Yours is Chernarus and everything that's in it,

    And - which is more - you'll be a Survivor my friend!

    Turning off HDR completely

    Blurry effects could be Post process quality. Turn that to off see if it makes a difference.

  4. I must admit, I came to the same conclusion as Private Evans about crosshairs and 3rd person in SA. It's just how it's worded makes it sound like it's either one or the other, in 3rd person you are in that mode until you actually go back into the menu's and change it to 1st person, no matter what you do with your sights. ( I for one like it if it is like that , although I know some wouldn't ) Crosshairs seem to be gone too, especially in 3rd person mode. Could still be crosshairs in first person ?

    What if we removed the crosshair?

    As a veteran of FPS games, I say remove it for realisms sake. If you want accurate shots you should HAVE to ADS. Hip firing and just aiming where the on screen crosshair is ( even if its swaying about more ) really ruins the imersion for me. hip firing and being accurate IRL takes skill and practice , if people like to hipfire ingame then they have to learn where the bullets are going to go from experience. A wild west gunslinger fired many thousands of bullets from the hip , all the time getting more and more accurate, until they could hit a penny from 100feet while hip firing.
  6. From what I can remember I think it's about 6:30pm when dusk starts and is finally fully dark at 7:30pm. I think dawn is the same too, maybe 30mins earlier ? am ofc.

    graphics situation.

    Graphics card should be fine. 4GB+ of Ram would be best. DayZ is quite CPU intensive, I highly reccommend a quad core or more CPU. As for how high you can run the graphics at, stuff like shadows and AA will eat your grahics card. Textures and AF etc can be run quite high assuming you have 1GB of Ram on the graphics card. Other than that just try meduim settings to start with.

    Recording DayZ - Getting Started

    Did you try rendering it first ? If your watching a 6min vid with a file size of 46GB then it could most likely be way too much bandwidth for the HDD to put out smoothly so it will look choppy and laggy. But once renderd to a more acceptable file size the playback will be smooth. Some tips - For DayZ unless you wanna do slow mo action scenes then just record at 30fps and then render at 30fps. Youtube prefers 30fps vids anyway. I do half size res in fraps and then just upscale to 720 in whatever editing software im using ( usually Sony Vegas ) Takes longer to render when upscaling but saves on HDD space. If you want actual 1080 raw footage though then file size is gonna be an issue. There is ofc other programs out there that compress the file size as it's recording, but that can take up quite a bit of CPU power so you may experience loss of FPS or some choppiness ingame while recording. I've tried other programs too, DxTory, Bandicam, I just can't get on with them either. Only other decent one I used before besides fraps was MSI Afterburner Beta. Hardly any loss of ingame FPS and small file size for the raw footage, but irc that too had problems with the audio side when picking up multiple sources.

    Help with my fps

    Taken from here - http://dayzmod.com/f...st/#entry967838 Sorry about the copy pasta. But it's alot to type out everytime. My Advice in this post http://dayzmod.com/f...ced-fps-tweaks/ Along with these settings that I use - Having all those settings on normal is bad btw. Texture Detail - Very High ( High for you ) Video Memory - Default Anisotropic Filtering - Very High ( High for you ) Antialiasing - Low - ( None for you ) ATOC - Disabled Terrain Detail - Very low Object Detail - Very low Shadow Detail - Very High ( High for you ) HDR Quality - Very High ( Normal for you ) PPAA - Disabled Post Process effects - Disabled Interface size - optional Aspect ratio - optional Vsync - Disabled ( Vsync enabled will limit your FPS to your monitors refresh rate, which is usually 60hz on bog standard LCD's ) Bare in mind , 30-60 fps is about right for DayZ. In Arma2 single player those same settings would result in an extra 30+ fps but DayZ does ALOT of extra CPU task intensive work on the client. The server can also have an effect on your own fps and everyone elses on there.

    I think the majority of us here have watched Frankie at some point. 138k views in less than 48hours on his latest vid. One of my favs too. As for the rest of your post ... you just got yourself some beans :beans:
