Fixed my graphical glitch. How to do it with Radeon.
sostronk posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Haven't found an article which explains how to do it with ATI Radeon, only Nvidea. I have a 4600 series and running windows 7. You need Catalyst Control Centre to try this. Its a free download from the ATI website: http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-catalyst/pages/catalyst.aspx If you have to download it, just make sure you get the right version for your OS. Go into "gaming" tab. Go into "3D Application Settings". In here I changed 4 things. Changed "Mipmap Detail" Level slider bar close to Performance, "Wait for Vertical refresh" to Performance, "Adaptive Anti-Aliasing" to Performance and ticked the "Enable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing" box. I think the last box is what fixed it, but not sure. You can play around if you want. No other method has fixed this, including Shift + -flush and dropping to windowed mode and back to full screen. I did a full loot run through NWAF, Stary military barracks and Berenzhino barracks. Prior to this I couldn't get within 800metres of those locations. -
I found that a little funny, sorry. There is no way BattleEye is detecting teleporters or godmode right now. AU1 used to be one of my main servers. It used to be one of the cleanest servers in my area. But hackers tend to roam servers. Its not the admin.

What's the point of helicopters?
sostronk replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Well, helicopters do give a massive advantage over other players. You only have to play in a clan server to know just how much. -
Why is a high ping so BAD?
sostronk replied to {N3RD2} HazardousJJ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Some of the local servers for me have a 100ping cap and I get around 30 ping on them. But I play on US servers because, for some reason, they tend to be quicker on load time despite the 200+ ping. -
Are the number of hackers increasing?
sostronk replied to MperorM's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Id say the number of hackers has decreased, but the number of legit players has decreased alot more. Proportionally there are more hackers now then the previous few weeks from my experience. But some of the hacks have stopped being the obvious thunderdomes/server nukes because of battleye being able to stop those or at least ban them when they do it. Teleporting, weapon spawning and godmode are still mostly going undetected by BI. -
Its not.

Found myself a no-teamkill enabled server. Seems legit. Alot more enjoyable that Call of Doody: Cherno Warfare and "can you guess how long it will be before a hacker kills you" that PvP servers have. Might make it my home.

Standalone Price Tags - A Solution To Cheating?
sostronk replied to s4pphire's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Comparing COD to ARMA, there are a shitload more hackers in ARMA. I played COD2 and COD4 (MW) competitively and there really weren't alot of hackers at all right up till Modern Warfare was released and the 6 months after. I dropped MW league about 6 months after release. In that 2-3 years of COD I ran into a total of 2 hackers, one who used aimbot and one who used walls. Apparently alot more walls are used in COD these days, but from my experience with the leagues there aren't many people using them and any suspect plays are analysed by the League admins. I did play MW2 and Black OPs and there just aren't as many hackers in the game. In this game Im surprised if I last a night without being killed by a hacker, in any of the COD games Id be surprised if I was killed by a hacker and Id probably never know anyway because they aren't blatant "Im going to kill the entire server right nao" ones but wall hacks which only benefit hackers a small amount. -
Won't happen.

I play this game like I live my life. I don't pick up any gear off players backpacks because chances are Ill be taking something that is hacked or duped. I don't take stolen good from people IRL even if they have been laundered to be untraceable because its just wrong. To each there own though, this is only a game. I just don't like getting the same outcome from somebody who is breaking the rules. I just want a legit experience and Im deprived of that by taking other peoples things at present.
-
To be completely honest, the forums are pretty well behaved consider the shit fight that is going on with this game. I think the forum admins have increased moderation a bit, not alot, just enough to try to slow down the climax of pissed off people.
-
Yeah ive got some tents with some stuff I want out of them right now on servers that have recently, by the looks of it, been shut down.
-
I would have laughed at the prospect, until I seen hunger games. Sure it didn't run fluently, but it shows there is some big potential for a modded game mode to become E-sports potential.
-
Winchester 1866. Seriously.
-
WarZ looks worse atm. I think there will be a window where they might be looking better though. Then again, logging in to get hack killed every chance I get isn't that appealing.
-
Im in a dilemma. I really don't want to play this shit anymore. Sick of hackers etc. But I figure its only around 2 months till standalone. I plan on being there for that. But I don't want to go play another game. I want to stick with ARMA. I heard someone say there was a COOP (no teamkill) version of DayZ, is that right? Can you still play it anywhere? If not, what are the best ARMA mods to play "casually"... Im more interested in something to keep me entertained than go hardcore PvP and kill everything gamemode, even if its players vs bots.

Why don't more people use custom Skins?
sostronk replied to Ajvkorn's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yeah I have loading issues as it is so don't want to get kicked for an oversize skin when I do manage to load. -
DayZ, as a mod is now dead - roll on standalone
sostronk replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Avoiding high pop servers helped avoid thunderdome/server nuking for a while. Playing in low pop servers made you a target for teleporting godmode hackers who would instantly teleport to you and kill you after you unloaded 2 clips into them at point blank range. -
DayZ, as a mod is now dead - roll on standalone
sostronk replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I won't lie. Everytime I see someone who claims they have never been killed by a hacker or only been killed a couple of times by a hacker I can't help but think they have to be a hacker themselves to not be getting killed every 30 minutes by one. Ive been thunderdomed on a server with 7 people in it before. I really don't know how people can be so lucky... -
Ive been doing the same thing. Its kind of important to play with the server admin though, he can revert the effects of a hacker. If you run solo though the admin may not care. I got killed on a private hive last night by a hacker. Its the first hacker Ive seen on there. It was only me he suffered from him so nothing was reverted. Your usually more protected as a solo player in a private hive with a decent admin, but you gotta be buddies with the server admin if you want to be completely safe.

How many of you are actually prepared for a real zombie outbreak???
sostronk replied to zebra0371's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Im willing to bet on my life that a Zombie apocalypse will never happen and thus Im not prepared for it. -
Nah thats just a legit standard spawn. You find them all over the hills of Cherno and at all spawn locations.
-
Just became a bandit :/ I was trying so hard to be a hero. Then a teleporting hacker kills me and I take out my frustrations on Cherno. I pick up an AK at the firehouse and 30 minutes later Ive gone from +3k to -21k humanity :(
-
Make it so you don't start with one, you can't carry weapons in them and the more there is in one the slower you move and/or the quicker you get fatigued.

I still think there are too many chopper crash sites on a map. Im pretty sure there are 6. If they reduced this I think the drop rate for the weapons youve listed would probably be fine. But what I find is chopper crash site weapons are more common than Military spawn weapons and Im referring to my experience with loot spawns, not from other players. There are only a few items in the game that are balanced IMO. These are the ghillie, NVGs and Range finders. Almost everything else is way too common.
