HOLY CRAP NEW STANDALONE IMAGE!! :D I think they need to fix the lighting though :/ what am i doing with my sad sad life

DayZ confirmed for 2016 release date.

jfc the frames are scaring me to death. Also back to DayZ SA, seems pretty awesome with the 20 players on! Let's hope that's another step closer :3

First song that will be played when Radio Stations are implemented.

edit: fixed edit2: better

everything works the exact same (i think) besides the fact that someone cant interfere with the entire server, just their own "bubble". I dont think gameplay is affected at all

in other words, if a client would even try to hack the server, they couldn't because they only have access to the red bubble, while in A2 any hacker could do anything to the entire server if they wanted.

you win. everything

Where do I purchase these "Joe-cups"?

aww happy times :)

It's just rollercoaster really, give it a few and someone will start up something different soon, or the SteamDB will update giving us another little grain of hope.

-crosses fingers, toes, and- oops.-

What if they want to release it, but we just keep talking about them releasing it. So they get nervous and immediately go back to working on any bugs they find. And the cycle just keeps repeating...

Yup barely got to PHIL, and saw a 3 updates that happened about an hour ago. And yes I know that most of these don't have to really do with how fast it releases, and it could be billions til' it does, but I like to at least say "hey check this out, let's be positive about something we want to play" about an hour ago Changed changenumber – 316295 › 316300about an hour ago Changed changenumber – 316278 › 316295about an hour ago Changed changenumber – 316009 › 316278

two changes recently :o

Oh god I hope so too. Overwatch did give me quite a boost in frames, which is why i played it for the most part, but all-in-all I've just given up on DayZ until SA. Every server is pretty much spawning people with weapons, or PvP, but Battle Royale is pretty neat too. CS:GO keeps me going though :I So I'm sticking with that for time being.

Hehe, yes let's just keep pushing back our hopeful release date for another 2 years! Jk, I hope it'll be Nov 5 actually, it does seem probable. As for Halloween, I'd think twice about it. This.^

Read this on the FAQ thingy for SteamDB, so it's neat, and I'll keep my hopes up, with a whole pound of salt though, so I don't get butthurt if it doesn't come out soon. It'd probably for the better. "Does this mean that when new entries are recorded in the history denoting nothing but a "changenumber" change For un-released apps, like the one you linked, the app is still private, and we can't see what actually changed, because we have no access to the data. For release apps, sometimes changes are on Valve's end (e.g. store/community), which are the changes in something we don't monitor/have no access to."

Nope, 1 Euro equals 1.38 US Dollar

This is a post to show you how to install DayZ, the way I have installed it, and this will only cover the Steam Version, not retail, but I'm sure that this will work for it as well, now let's get started: 1. Buy Arma 2 Combined Operations from Steam (or use your retail copy it's up to you) ARMA 2 C.O: http://store.steampo...d.com/sub/4638/ REMEMBER YOU NEED BOTH ARMA II AND OPERATION ARROWHEAD, SO BUY COMBINED OPS, I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! 2. After Installing ARMA:CO download DayZ Commander, it's not necessary to use this program, but it's worth to have on your hard drive in order to easily install any other DayZ mods you'd like without any hassle, I myself have used SixUpdater and still have to prefer DayZ Commander over it, so since we're installing DayZ, USE DAYZ COMMANDER! NOW BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING DONT FORGET TO LAUNCH ARMA 2, ARMA 2: OPERATION ARROWHEAD, AND ARMA 2: OPERATION ARROWHEAD BETA FROM YOUR STEAM (or retail place thingy) TO VALIDATE STUFF, AND THAT'S IT'S ALL UP AND RUNNING AND STUFF! (Thanks to PK Richie for reminding me!) 3. Alright so you now have ARMA:CO and DayZ Commander! Now let's setup a shortcut so you don't have to open DayZ Commander to play DayZ (You can also use it, if you prefer it over the Arma server finding thingy, it has all these neat filters you can use!) -Navigate to your Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead folder you can find it like this: (ex. this is my path: "D:\Games\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead" your setup might be different!!! ) -Go to your "Expansion" folder -> "beta" folder -> Create a shortcut to Arma2OA.exe on your desktop 4. Alright you have everything setup, now we just need to install mods! -Open DayZ Commander -Click "install/update" in the upper right corner -Update DayZ Commander, Arma 2 (beta patch; you can also manually do it here http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php) and install any DayZ mod in the "mods" section (if your installing DayZ, install DayZ.) (You will have to check periodically for updates, it may seem annoying but it's not at all, this is Arma for you!) 5. Now you have the mod installed, and a shortcut made we're going to go over Maximizing Performance and actually playing the mod. -Right click the shortcut you made on your desktop earlier (The Arma2OA one, to make it easier, just rename the shortcut to "DayZ") -This should be in "Target": ""D:\Games\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -maxMem=2047 -world=empty -skipIntro -noPause -winxp -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxvram=512 -window"" This is MY setup NOT yours!!! DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THIS. Now let's break that down for you: -"D:\Games\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" (this is the .exe the shortcut will launch, if you did it correctly it will Launch Arma 2 OA Beta Patch! Good Job, if not leave a reply or look back in the tutorial) -"-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" this is basically saying "Hey, I'm launching the beta patch!" -"-nosplash -maxMem=2047 -world=empty -skipIntro -noPause -winxp -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxvram=512 -window" This will be the bread and butter for maximizing your FPS here's a detailed breakdown for each one: "-nosplash": everyone needs this one, so copy and paste without quotes into that sucker, it get's rid of the crappy animations no one needs to view at the beginning, loads faster "-maxMem=<#>" Defines memory allocation limit to number (in MegaBytes). 256 is hard-coded minimum (anything lower falls backs to 256). 2047 is hard-coded maximum (anything higher falls back to 2047). Engine uses automatic values (512-1536 MB) w/o maxMem parameter. "-world=empty": can also be set to -world=Chernarus, empty will load the game faster "-skipIntro": self-explanatory, just use it, loads faster "-noPause": if you tab out, your game won't pause decreasing load time, use it. "-winxp": forces Arma to use Directx9 or something like that, try it, may work may not "-cpuCount=<#>": put how many CPU's you have, if your PC shows 8, but you have dual core, chances are it's only really 4 CPU's, google and make sure, increases FPS "-exThreads=<#>": Change to a number 0,1,3,5,7. This will override auto detection (which use 3 for dualcore and 7 for quadcore). "-maxvram=<#>": your graphics card's max memory. Defines Video Memory allocation limit to number (in MegaBytes). "-window": runs in window, increases FPS. ALRIGHT, now ya gotcha stuff all maximized or whatever, play around with numbers, see what get's you the best performance. Now open up from your shortcut, go to Expansions, click "Arma: Dayz Mod" or "DayZ" or whatever, enable, restart the game, and kill some Bambi- I mean band- Zombies. did I mess up? Leave a reply if it helped...or didn't! Images for stuff: Hope this helps anyone!

I've seen all these videos and they cover only a few, and sometimes forget to say people need to really need to mess around with various settings, thanks for putting this up and helping out newbies, I'm thinking about making a new topic to go through each startup parameter and config file thing :P

It's normal to kill anyone you come in contact with. It's natural instinct, trust nobody, because although they say they'll help you out, give you a blood bag etc. They won't and chances are never will don't take chances, unless you really have to. Yeah I know I sound like a douche sayin' killing people is okay. But DayZ is way too risky to trust people, especially since the community is increasing, and some of these people are from CoD and love to be trolls. Finding a teamspeak, and sticking with a group of friends is a good idea. People constantly asking to team up in Skype are really annoying (sorry ;3; Side chat get's crowded though!)

Hey there! Origins and Breaking Point don't cost a thing! Go ahead and join the TaG teamspeak if you'd like! We are very mature and take DayZ seriously, in other words, no squeakers xD I'm pretty much the youngest of the bunch, the rest of the team is 20+ and acts as such, yes we do have silly moments but hey, who doesn't?! So yeah, we can teach you anything you'd like man, these guys are pretty much my family, and I don't see myself leaving the TS anytime soon, so here's the IP if you'd like to play with us sometime: 142.68.2.218 We also have a website here: http://tagdayz.com/newspage.php Our DayZ server is down for now due to Google Fiber port forwarding issues, and buggy 1.7.7, but it'll be up soon. We play more than DayZ and even play variations of the mod, so go ahead and hop on and if you do, just say your from here and introduce yourself a bit! I know it's always hard joining a new group and such, but don't be afraid! We don't bite!

You can join the TaG DayZ Teamspeak here: 142.68.2.218 Everybody is pretty mature, and we have quite a bit of laughs once we get to know each other, we play more than just DayZ and even other variations of the mod, I'm the youngest, but everyone else is pretty much 20+ and very serious/mature (including myself) You can also check out our website here if you'd like: http://tagdayz.com/newspage.php Our own server is currently down due to buggy 1.7.7 issues, but should be up sometime soon, in the meantime, we've mostly been playing Sahrani and such, feel free to drop in and just say your from here!
