ArmA 2 PSO-1 sniping tutorial w/ SVD and KSVK -

Well i hope they gots plenty of money to throw into making DayZ a one server game. Eve's Tranquility Server does not come cheap.

Just Checked. I got the Email too. dated Monday, 11 June 2012, 14:25 I think it's a real one. I have seen the majority of that text before on another site when tonic was explaining about the threat expert link and which files to check for in appdata. Grammer aside , if English is not Tonics native language then he did a pretty good job anyway.

Regarding map markers - Is it something like if you have global or side channel selected and you make map markers then everyone on the server with a map will see the markers too ? ( assuming its enabled on that server) If you have direct channel selected you can make map markers just for you ? unless ofc there is a guy within 80m (range of text in direct) of you.

For 40+ fps on your comp yammy do this - Options/Video Options Visibility slider 1600 max. I think server admins set the max visi for the server anyway in thier server cfg file. But just keep yours at 1600. Texture Detail - Very High Video Memory - Default. - If set on very high it will only use 512MB of your 1GB Ram on your gfx card. Setting it to deafult will use the full amount available on your gfx card as it uses the values that are stated in your ArmaOA.cfg file which auto detects the amount of Ram on your card when you first launch Arma2 OA. Anisiotropic Filtering - Very High Anti Aliasing - Disabled or Low - IF on 3D res 100% then have this on LOW. If higher than 100% 3D res then have this on Disabled. Terrain Detail - Very Low - This is grass only. The higher you put this then the further away you will see grass. Objects Detail - Very Low Shadow Detail - Very High - Having shadows on a lower setting will make your CPU do alot of the shadow rendering for some reason. But , putting Shadows on Very high forces the engine to send shadow rendering over to your gfx card instead. A 6870 is more than capable of this. HDR Quality - Normal in daytime - very high at night - It stops the banding occuring between different shades of colours. Post process effects - Disabled - All it does is add a nice fuzzy haze around everything. Interface Resolution should be set at your monitors native res most commonly 1920x1080 3D Res basically packs MORE pixels into the same area of screen that is listed in the Interface res section. I have mine at 114%. IF you choose 120% or higher then you don't even need any anti aliasing then as most the jaggies are gone due to the extra pixels. Not sure if just one 6870 will be able to handle 120% though and still run smooth. Although you do have a pretty decent CPU so try it. My Specs Phenom II Quad @ 3.1Ghz 8GB DDR3 @ 1333mhz 2 x Ati 6870 in xfire On the settings above i get 70+ fps in fields. 60 in forests 40 in citys and it looks lush still :) Also , make sure to run DayZ 1.7.0 AND also Arma2 Latest Beta - http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Only join servers that are actually running the beta version on thier end too.

I gotz two of those, still havn't drunk them yet.

Same , for the past 2 hours i have only gotten into 1 server ! and that was a low pop one. Running 1.7.0 + Arma2 beta 93616. Running the cmd to launch Beta Version. All the 1.60 servers i tried were stuck at Loading. 80% of the Beta 9xxxx servers also get stuck on loading. Have only been able to get into ONE server so far and that was a low pop 12/32 players. No chance on the 90%+ full servers.

lol fackstah, i remember when goons first started piling into Eve. All those noobs with rifters and scorps and Balls of steel !

What Rave said. Also TIL - You can drag the gear screen around to move it out of the way too. Hold down the LMB on the top bar of the gear screen and move it. When you right click on an item the text still shows up in the middle of screen but is not blocked anymore.

Enterd Elektro on 6k blood after a fight with some zeds. I went through almost every building and found so many tins of beans that by the time i left the city one hour later i had Built my blood back upto 11k. Just raid Zel from one side to the other horganshwag, especially Supermarkets. 200 blood per tin he will be back to a decent level an hour later. Good luck !

Multiple chars on the same account gives you a massive advantage. Even if you can't have them logged in at same time. I played Eve from 2004-2008. In Eve you got 3 chars per account. In the end i had 4 seperate accounts totalling 12 chars i could control. Advantage is massive if you know what your doing. I hope DayZ sticks to one char per CD key.

Great Story Kilwan ! I have never been to Green Mountain as last time i went to a POI was Zub castle i ended up killing 6 guys. Was such a poo my pants experience i have just stayed away from POI's since. But hearing about potential Vehicles i may mosey on by.

Agree with all above. I remember seeing your post the first time Rick. Pretty awesome work. Post it again dude :)

and what if the server is full ?

The co-ords for Debug "fields" = 813,894 The co-ords for Debug "Forest" = 004,116 Have been stuck in both and managed to get out. Forest is piss easy. 5mins running East. Fields is a whole other ballgame. Better hope you have plenty of food and drink cos its about a 90min run SE. If you don't know how to read co-ords for Arma2 then research it. Hitting Respawn button does not always work. Most of time you will just respawn back in the fields / forest but with noob gear.

You have the @DayZ folder in the correct location ? Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons Make sure in the Addons folder it is just all the files, no other folders. 14 files in total. Download the files from here http://armafiles.info/dayz/ When you choose to run Arma2 OA from the steam library list make sure to choose Launch Arma2 Combined Operations. Also do a re-install of battle eye client too just to be on the safe side. If it don't work after that then i dunno.
