The devs tweeted earlier saying the new anti-cheat/BattlEye is new and will take a little while to get going, so we need to be patient. I guess this means that Skiddies (Script-Kiddies) will be able to run free for a while yet before it starts to work properly :( Players have been posting all over the place saying that hackers were on .53 Exp and they were everywhere on stable as soon as it came back online after the .53 update.

Do you actually see a new log file though? We don't have anything new, just BELog, Chat and Group Chat :(

Thanks AmberHelios, I've checked through all of Vilayer's logs, and it seems they either do not support it, or haven't set it up yet :( Frustrating as a number of players on our servers have been killed by invisible hackers in the last hour or two since 0.53 dropped, but there is nothing we can do.

Hey everyone, I'd noticed over the past week my FPS seemed to have dropped slightly, I assumed it was just caused by the new update (0.50) implementing lots of new things, and therefore hitting the performance slightly. But while playing last night I noticed a pretty significant drop in FPS in some areas, I Alt-Tab'd to check CPU/GPU usage and noticed only 1 GPU was being used. I've tired rolling back to 4 different older drivers, doing a clean install of the drivers, reinstalling Nvidia Inspector and setting it back up manually....... But nothing seems to work. Little confused to why it would suddenly stop since the 0.50 update, so I thought I'd ask you guys to see if I'm not alone. Cheers

Well I've managed to fix it it seems. Still have no idea why it suddenly stopped working, but it seems completely uninstalling the game and deleting any trace of the game, then reinstalling it again fixed the issue :huh: Very strange....

I don't know, granted it's not a huge increase in FPS, but I had done extensive benching, testing and tweaking of settings/configs to test whether SLI made a difference for me on my setup, and the result was most definitely yes. Again not a massive increase but certainly better than running on a single card. I just can't work out why SLI would suddenly stop working.

Was this on 0.50 Experimental by any chance???

:lol: How is anyone Dying of starvation in the current version!? Food is frickin everywhere! It takes 10 mins at most from spawning fresh even on a high pop server that hasn't been restarted in a few hours. I died last night from a miscommunication with a team mate, I spawned on the coast and was Energised and Hydrated within around 4-5 mins. It's way too easy to survive at the moment. Also clothes are everywhere as well, so being cold is not an issue either.

From the sounds of some people on this forum and Reddit, we should all spawn with fully kitted M4's with unlimited ammo, a dozen grenades, full pristine Military gear, high-caps, hunter backpacks, MP5's of course with unlimited ammo or a Mosin+LRS, all player conditions removed so you never get hungry or cold, everyone has 10x health and everyone spawns near each other and the map is only tiny, about the size of the NWAF so you don't have to run........ There we go, all fixed. And it doessn't resemble Call of Duty at all. Would That Make It Easier For You Little Whiners!

How the bloody hell is it OP. You don't get Hypothermia after 30 mins ingame when wearing all this gear, you're full of it, you don't even get chilly. I was wearing a white check shirt, black tac pants and boots in the NW yesterday and didn't get a single "You're Cold" message even though I could see my characters breath. In fact, when I found a TTsKO jacket, I started getting "You're Hot" messages :huh:

I personally really, really like the new temperature system, it's starting to make DayZ actually feel like a survival game. For people saying it's OP, "Are you Frickin Kidding Me!" I actually think it needs a buff, a big buff! I have never once yet had a freezing or HypO message, even when I've fresh spawned in the glitched Vybor river spawn point. Clothes and loot in general is still way too abundant, within seconds, literally first house you check you're bound to find a hoodie or hunter pants. Although it's not realistic, I would like to see it when the game is in full complete release state, that loot whether it be a simple hoodie or a Military AKM has a 50% chance of spawning "Ruined", that way loot would Not have to be reduced by such a huge amount as it is still everywhere, it's so easy to gear up still, so you would still need to check everywhere and you would still find lots of stuff, but a lot of it would be ruined and therefore useless and finding something in usable condition would be a big deal, then the character temperature would really mean something. Last night was the first time since 0.49 I actually received a Hot/Cold message and it was only a Browny/Green color "Hot" message so it wasn't an issue, I just put my raincoat on instead of my TTsKO jacket and it went away in seconds. It's still very early days and I'm sure there will be tweaks and side effects added to being Hot or Cold, but at the moment I really like it being ingame, I just think it's still way too easy and can be completely overlooked.

Hi all, sorry if this a commonly known thing, but I wanted to ask if it's ok to lock a server now. One of my clans servers has been crashing constantly since the 0.49 Stable update and a few of the guys want to test out what is causing it, but we can't control wants going on unless we are the only ones on the server. Plus it would be unfair to other players if it's crashing all the time. I remember reading about private shards and the ability to do stuff like locking, but I want to check before I do so. Thanks

Arrh damn. Thanks for the heads-up. I've seen so many locked servers recently, I just thought things might have changed as they are locked and don't seem to have problems.

I was informed by a few members of my clan a couple of weeks ago that the loot in vehicles was going to stopped in 0.49. I don't know where they read this, but the fact they said it weeks ago and that it's happened surely cannot be a coincidence.

Vehicles...... Barricading Houses...... Dealing With The Teleporting Hackers...... :blink:

1.3GB update for me :huh: It was showing 882.MB for a minute or two, then jumped to 1.3GB.

Nope, probably going to be next Wednesday now :( eugenharton - Build & Environment Engineer - 4 hours ago "no update today guys, internal build still has client/server crashes. When they get fixed we will update." http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2fze3p/stable_servers_are_down_for_scheduled_maintenance/cke6dy8

Playing on 1 of the only 3 working Exp servers last night, and for the first time since 0.49 released, I managed to find some half decent gear and get myself looking pretty good in terms of surviving, I'd managed to get fully energised and healthy even on a night time server that was pi**ing down with rain and decent basic equipment, so I went hunting. Had some good luck and found a good amount of animals, so I thought as it's Experimental and the new character temperature system is killing people off in just minutes when it's raining, plus Experimental is meant for playing but mainly testing and bug finding, I decided to leave a carepack for some lucky person :) I entered the supermarket at Cernaya Polana and dropped a box of matches, some kindling, wood, deer and boar meat, bandages, a splint, canteen, an axe, machete, improvised leather backpack, a pair of pristine hunter pants and a pistol with some ammo. Then I lit the place with a chemlight and proceeded to leave by the main entrance with my gun on my back feeling good about myself, doing a good deed in DayZ. As I got to the door, out the corner of my eye (FOV) I saw a guy standing behind the wall of the market, he had been watching me drop the carepack and decided to show me there is no humanity left in Chernarus, *Thud* "You are Dead". 1 hit Axe to the head :rolleyes: lol. This is not a rant, I just thought I'd share my little story and if the guy who murdered me happens to read this, you sir, broke my heart :'( GG dude, GG.

You went all the way to the NWAF without any "Basic" provisions like rags/bandages, splint/morphine, axe/machete... e.t.c....... LOL, well that's what you get for being a derp and just running straight for the military gear.

What CPU (Processor), GPU (Graphics Card) and monitor resolution are you trying to run it on???

Wanted to ask for some advice please. I play on 2-3 main servers and have done for a long time as they are my clan's servers, my ping when on these is normally around 50-60ms, not great but not terrible. But since last Wednesday 27th Aug when there was a small <10MB patch/update for Stable branch, same day 0.49 hit Experimental, my ping on all these servers has gone up to 300+. I have tried a lot of other servers and repeatedly tested my connection, and even on other games. My ping is fine on other games but as soon as I connect to a DayZ server, whether located 100miles down the road or half way across the globe, my ping goes through the roof. Anyone got any ideas and advice please. Thanks, appreciate it.

Thanks for your reply, but I have literally tried everything. Updating my LAN driver, deleting and reinstalling LAN driver, Change DNS, reset router back to factory, updated router firmware, set "all" router and windows firewalls to Off, PC on a static IP and put it in DMZ mode, complete reinstall of DayZ........ literally everything that might effect it, but nothing works. :(

Ok before anyone points out DayZ is an early access Alpha..... I know it is and I know it needs a huge amount of optimisation, drivers e.t.c... But with that aside, I want ask if anyone has any similar issues with DayZ only using a fraction of their PC resources, mainly GPU power. With DayZ running on a combo of high to very high, I'm only seeing 20-25% average usage on my GPU's, and only very occasionally hits 35-40% usage. I have looked at every thread about optimising it and tweaking this and that, but nothing seems to push the usage up. Also I don't have V-Sync enable or anything to limit the FPS/usage, everything and I mean everything is set up to make DayZ use everything. So this is not a rant, I just want to ask players that have high-end PC's, especially SLI or CrossFire what GPU usage you normally see. Cheers

Ok, thanks for your input everyone. As I said, I'm fully aware of the current state of DayZ and I certainly don't expect to be getting 200fps in Novo. My fps in most cases is ok, 100-150fps in the forests and fields and last night in Novo it was averaging 35fps with the occasional drops to 15-20fps for a couple of seconds as things rendered in. It's not great but it's definitely playable, I was more interested in the GPU usage people are seeing. Cheers
