Also disable shadows and anything that has a disabled option can help too

My computer is the same sometimes, try turning up some of the graphics elements to high, as having them all on low burdens the CPU quite a bit. low/normal will be handled by the CPU high/very high is handles by the graphics card If that makes sense. I've noticed that DayZ does cause more fps issues than just normal ARMA II.

I play now and again, usually whatever server has a decent ping and/or medium amount of players. I live in GMT 9:30 (Adelaide)

I was expecting to watch a video of you (and maybe others) raiding a camp fire at night, but no. Disappointing, but oh well. Each to their own, betrayal is a part of the game.

I use ghillie usually, unless I plan on going into a city area, or buildings, then I would prefer camo or civilian. The L85 is fine, it's really only good for scanning the area, otherwise it's pretty much meh.

The way the zombies are hosted causes this, because when you come into range for zombies to spawn they are hosted from you. The lower your upload, the more 'zombie lag' there will be. I don't think they will change this for a while, but hopefully they do alter it to be server side zombie hosting instead eventually. It makes more sense really.

That AK is decent, I played a bit with it the other day, and seems to work a charm. The CZ is a good gun, but it lacks fire power in close quarters. I would wait until you have a larger bag to pick up a sniper rifle, just in case.

I was at the same state you were, but in the first 10 days I hit the NW airfield a few times and stary as well, lasted 20 awesome days.... until I decided to team up with a clan for a few hours. We all died to hackers twice in one night. I was annoyed to lose all the gear, but mostly annoyed to lose the 20 days of survival. I had zero murders, but I had defended myself against some bandits and snipers, but they just logged out before I got the kill, no biggie really. Hopefully I will be able to last another 20 days!

Damn that lee enfield weilding bandit!!

good work! I have rarely come across anyone that doesn't shoot on sight so far.. OR backstab three seconds later when they pick up a damn gun. Makes me want to join a clan sometimes, but I have deep seeded trust issues, even more so since playing dayz.

Being sneaky? Or luring someone to their untimely demise? ;)

I've come across a few hackers so far, the first time I was actually really excited because I didn't know what was going on, but from there on out it was sort of annoying. I will continue to persevere through these dark times, because I fucking love this mod!!

That's a good and fun gun to play around with, but I am loving the DMR at the moment, It's probably my favourite so far.

Another thread turned to hate :/ EDIT: Apparently google chrome didn't want to load the rest. Artifacts would be the worst with 3D and being high :/ I am glad that i rarely get them at all.

That is fuuuuucked haha! I wish my gpu and monitor supported 3D, I would totally do this everyday!

I have had a similar thing happen, had to crawl to a town to make zombies aggro me :/

I don't mind Berenzino, it's alright to me. I don't get the artifacts often like most people, not sure why, but when I loot any place that has them I tend to be the eyes for my friends and they follow my directions. The players that I have seen are just there for supplies (been lucky) and even the bandits tend to be more tame up that way. Less town sniping is also a nice thing! Last time I hit the hospital we found 4 medical boxes full of supplies, there was more than we could carry!

Had this happen to me a lot :/ especially when you are clearing spawn areas so new stuff will spawn, it gets annoying!

A mate and myself use tents, we had an ATV as well, but someone looted out camp earlier and stole it :( the server we play on resets every 4-8 hours I think, and our stuff has been fine for several days.

Wow, that chick managed to get behind you guys pretty easily. You should start spreading out more, being that close together makes you a huge target! Liked the video, your voice isn't annoying, will likely sub to channel

It's not thaaaat far, just a short jog...

In times like that, It's almost useful to have a grenade handy!

Yeah the GW2 made a couple of my mates drop off the chart too. I usually just play with one mate on an NZ server, even though I am from Adelaide.

I agree, having a way to fool the zombies instead of just having to either run through and LOS them or stealth around hoping they dont see you, would be amazing. I have a feeling we may see something similar to this idea in the standalone eventually, and maybe the mod if we are lucky.

I feel you there! i have had a couple of dreams about dayz/zombies in general, but I put that down to my fascination with the whole zombie virus outbreak thing, been a massive fan of the movies and games for a long time.
