I'm getting something around 20 fps instead of the 50-60 i had before the patch. Pretty sure it's an issue with the patch because i haven't changed my configuration or hardware setup

One of my friends found out that you can get out of that position by using morphine. No idea if it still works though.

Tested and it has zero background noise. When is this group going to be put together?

I love this idea. Let's see if we can make something out of this... 1. Are you willing to start a new character in DayZ for the sake of role-playing? I'm currently stuck outside the map with a naked character so i'm going to have to restart. If possible, i would like to keep what i have, though. Goes with who my character is. 2. Do you have a Skype account? andu1224 3. Do you have a private TeamSpeak / Mumble / Ventrillo that we can use for the group (this is not required at all, but it would really be nice if someone had one that we could use)? private but belongs to my friends. i might be able to arrange something 4. What is your new character's full name (you can also use a nickname that you would like to go by. Please, make the nickname serious though, I will not accept any nicknames that are not)? Vassili Ivanovich 5. What's my story Comrade Regiment Commander Vassili Ivanovich is a retired soldier from Russia. After first hearing of the outbreak in Chernarus, he remains indifferent, confident that the army will manage and that he is, after all, retired. A week later, he catches a cryptic transmission while messing around with his shortwave radio. The message made sense to him though - he immediately recognized the code used by an elite unit that he was once a part of. It was a call for help from his old comrades. And the contents made it obvious that it came from Chernarus. Having heard this, he prepared for a journey, using his old military contacts to stock up on high quality weapons and survival tools, to find and help his friends escape. 6. Do you have good microphone quality (very little background noise would be considered good)? No idea, I havent heard anyone talk through mine before

Fir trees in the forest will also break line of sight. Your first few starts will probably be rough, even disastrous, but in a little time, you'll find out how to scavenge properly without getting killed. One thing to keep in mind, that drastically lowers the time you take to loot a town, is to know which buildings can be entered. If you can see through a building's windows, you can enter it and it will have some loot. Even the crappy houses with one or two loot spawns can get you anything from big backpacks (alice) to ghillie suits and the like. Food, drink and guns included. As for the line of sight, losing zombies is easy, but then again, so is dodging them. When in towns, go prone and keep your distance to about 10 meters from the nearest zombie and you should go by unnoticed. You can also choose to sprint and loot a town on the fly, only picking houses you can run through, dropping some zombies inside houses and leaving the rest in the woods. This makes you an easy target to other players though. There's a lot for you to learn, thats all there is. Don't expect to be an expert on your first time.

DayZ is horribly optimized so you need a good setup and config to get ok-ish framerates. My OCd 460GTX is about twice as good compared to your 9800GT and im getting 30-40 fps in elektro and cherno, 60+ in the woods. The 9800GT is overall a pretty old card and you should upgrade if you want to play DayZ properly.

These glitches are caused by the unlootable corpses of the military zombies (they may not even be zombies tbh). Most people have found that pressing left shift and the minus key on the numpad (which brings up an invisible console), then typing in flush fixes that problem. This problem wasn't in the mod a short while ago so i think it'll be fixed eventually

Bring respawn back. Seriously. If it was removed with the intention of stopping people from choosing their spawnpoints then it's not doing a very good job since anyone can run into a gang of zombies and die that way, it just takes like a minute longer. On the other hand, people getting stuck by hackers currently have no option of getting unstuck, save for asking a friend of yours to come shoot you in the face (if your body is even accessible). I got stuck yesterday (seeking help, i made this account even) and waited for about 5 hours for a friend to come and kill me. This morning, i turn on dayz to check out camps before going to work and i appear somewhere off-map (a plain field) with no gear (kind of like one of the broken spawns you saw a lot back in may or so). My only option is to die of thirst/starvation and that will take a LONG time. So yeah, bring back the respawn button.

A few tips and pointers: tinyurl.com/falconguide. The prices are in USD, buying from europe you can expect the numbers to remain the same, just replace the $ wih €. I put my gaming PC together last summer and im running i3 (OCd to about 130%), 460GTX (Also OCd to around 130%) and 8 GB ram (i was on a pretty tight budget). I had 4 gb up until last week and after upgrading, most of the freezes i experienced kind of dissapeared. I'm currently running dayz at med settings and get about 50-60 FPS, 30-40 in towns. As for the PCs mentioned in the earlier posts, i'm sure each of those is useful and wonderful in its own way but one thing you really should keep in mind is, when buying the CPU, more cores is not always better (the AMD 8 core cpu is more or less crap since there's next to nothing that actually uses 8 cores simultaneously). ArmA2 can't properly even use 4 cores so, if you want to play dayz, a good dualcore is the way to go. The i3 is technically a dualcore and does its job pretty well here. In fact, the only game i've ever had trouble with was witcher 2 and that was that goddamn ubersampling that nobody can run properly. Another thing to keep in mind is that radeon graphics cards don't get as much support as nvidia does. If you look around on gaming forums, you see around 8 people out of 10 having graphical problems have radeon cards while the 2 using nvidia got theirs fixed in 2-3 posts. The AMD CPU + Radeon GFX is cheaper and the popular titles get good support, though. Properly choosing the chipset (essentially the CPU socket) is a must as well, since that sets your upgrading limits. The intel 1155 socket will probably have you covered for several years, seeing as they're designing ivy bridge CPUs for the same socket. No idea where AMD is going with their AM3+. SLI/Crossfire capability is something you should keep your eye on too. If you buy a top of the line card now, it'll be useless about 3 years down the road, but in 3 years, you won't be paying much for that card so you can just put them together and get a fair preformance boost and postpone getting a new GFX card for another year or two. Just make sure the PSU can handle 2 GFX cards. Overall, putting together a PC is not something you do on the go. Your new PC is going to be a good friend to you for quite a few years so you'll want to choose carefully. Read reviews and other people's opinions, google for frequent problems, etc.
