Played with this patch yesterday for a few hours and it is much better than the previous one. I didn't get stuck forever on 'Waiting for host' or 'Waiting for character to create' so I would say you can give it a try.

Look, another moron. Please, I beg you, point the comment where I say I am superior for using a Mac...you won't find it because there is none. I will try to explain this again: OP asked one question about Macs and people are coming here to say that MAK SUKKS DUUUUHHHHHHHHHH, If that is your mentality, then I can say that Im far superior than you, yes.

bla bla bla gargle gargle gargle...my god edit: READ last OPs post, read ffs. He does not give a f*ck about your 'incredible knowledge' of gaming hardware. I guess they don't teach how to read in special needs' schools...

Read mate. Do you know how to? He IS, let me repeat that for you, HE IS BUYING IT. HE DID NOT ask for your opinion about gaming laptops, did he? I play on a Mac Pro as my previous post explains and with a much crappier GPU, my point is that if I can play he can play. Got it?

I just don't get it. He is asking if the game would work on the new Macbook retina. Just that, a really simple question for people that own that model of Macbook or a previous one. And here come all the HURR MAC SUKS mentally challenged individuals to spout how they can build an atomic computer for 600 dollars. That was NOT the question, ffs.

Yes, retard, you can read now, you should be proud.

Don't listen to the retards. I have a late 2010 Macbook Pro with a 2.53 GHz (540M) Intel Core i5, 4 GB and Nvidia GeForce 330M with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory, and Windows 7 bootcamped. I can run the game on the lowest settings. You definitely would be able to run the game fine with normal-high settings and decent frame rate.

OP played the game 10 hours a day for months and now because he is bored, the whole wolrd should be bored. And because he wouldn't buy the game, the world shouldn't buy the game. I hate to repeat tha same shit again and again as some people do but, the game is in Alpha state, things are being added and new stuff is being created and it will take some time until it can be considered as a stand alone project.

I don't think this has anything to do with ISPs or settings. I'm in ireland, have a 25MB connection and I have the same problems as okano. The 'great performance fix' doesnt exist for me, still get the same FPS drops, especially in towns, and now, sometimes the frame rate would go to 1 a few times when I enter a new server and it would stop later on. I also get a lot of red/yellow chain icon but fortunately I don't disconnect. Someone said that because of the great performance fix of the last patch, they added more zombies and now it seems that every village has more zombies than before, which makes the performance as shitty as before, who knows, the thing is, it is far from good. Edit: I also think 1.7.1.5 was better, at least I didn't have to wait ages to enter a server and no FPS drops to 1 like now.

Man, Rocket said that the engine was designed or can support a map DOUBLE the size of Chernarus. I could only say 'fuck YES' It takes a few hours to go from one side of the map to the other and once you play for a few weeks you know almost every place in there and I think one of the things that makes the game so exciting is the actual feel of being a survivor, alone in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by monsters (both zombies and bandits :P) So I would say, and I hope, that the map is actually getting bigger in the future. Im not gonna say HURRR, GO BAK TO X or Y, but it's true that a smaller map would make things battlefield/cod style and everybody will shoot anybody.

Would it be too much to ask for a 1.7.2.1 own post? Please :)

Agree 1000% with you mate. Turtles.

If I remember well, it starts on the 10s, and if you do something that increases your thirst or hunger (like running) you start losing it in the 100s

You start losing blood until you die. Source: I died like this once.

Too long; didn't read. A great wall of text to let everybody know you won't play anymore...who the fuck cares?

xD too late mate.

then why would he be at Rezzed? That's what I was thinking. Maybe a combination of publicity, public patch testing and more important, the 'opinion' of those who got to play the latest patch, about the new features. I'm also sure it's easier to handle the feedback from a few hundreds of people paying the mod, that to read through the thousands and thousands of posts in all the forums (reddit, dayz forum, 4chan, SA, etc.) after its realease.

I just fucking crawled for 5 hours through Zelenogorsk, Myshkino, Pustoshka and Vybor to find only useless crap and 12 watches but not one damn morphine shot. It is fucking frustrating and stupid. You should be able to fix a broken bone with wood and bandages to create a splint http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OBsHNr32Pnk/TkOE2QWjjRI/AAAAAAAAACQ/6cYtwS2jGf8/s1600/LegSplint14.jpg That makes more sense that magically getting high and getting your bones restored like fucking wolverine. DAAAMN IM SO PISSED

Some people say that using Arma II Free + Arma II: Operation Arrowhead lets you play the mod but with shittier graphics and bad performance (or at least not as good as with Combined Operations) Have not tried this myself, but that is what I have read. Hope it helps. P.S. You are getting the Bad key message precisely because you can't play with pirated copies of the game.
