  1. Other games do not suffer and anaglyphic modes are not graphic card tech I do not think. It is 2 render passes, one red, one cyan. There are other options to control color preservation. Anaglyphs impose limitations. But I digress, how do I disable it?
  2. I used the search function, only a mention ArmAII settings and this is the SA. How do I get out of anaglyphic mode?
  3. No one else would do it, so I did. Any news on why they have been down for over a week and no official ETA beyond rumor should be posted here. This is not a rant at all, I just want to help people manage their expectations, and focus on the Experimental Server downtime. Professional code developers would conduct a retrospective, a post mortem, a "how did we drop the ball and how will we not drop it in the future" meeting. After setting the ping time to 500ms and waiting forever, the only server with version 0.45.123906 is called "Hicks", aka the big kahuna of DayZ, and it is locked. No other servers are available. Please post updates to the experimental server pool here. A sticky would be great. Thank you.
  4. Mixed feelings all over, but I hope your next project is as ground breaking as DayZ was. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-02-24-dean-hall-to-leave-bohemia-and-step-down-as-leader-of-dayz :unsure:

    Tip: Never go into one of these buildings

    I hope you can find parachutes for BASE jumping.
  6. I met friendlies and think it's fun, taught him how to pick berries and found a fountain to get started. Another time I ran with some 3 others, and they all wore yellow raincoats so they could identify each other, that was cool, but I strayed, went to the NE Airport, and was crouched in one of the 2 story tents that still spawn loot, and a bandit ran up to me and got a shot off, but I had a sawed off shotgun and gave him both barrels. In less than 3 minutes I was dead, still trying how to carry the best m4 I'd ever seen from the bandit and my shotty. The 2nd guy had a mosin and knew exactly what he was doing, I didn't have a tenth of a second to react. I believe I was shot through an airport tower wall, because I was on the ground floor, and being paranoid I shut the doors behind me now. Looted the place and then was just trying to organize my bag when shots rang out and I died. I then heard the footsteps come around and enter the building, there are no windows on the ground floor. This morning I met a player who asked if I was friendly, I said yes, and killed two z's with my ax before we both went into the firehouse, and after about 20 seconds he decided to kill me. Friendlies are much more fun than hackers, bandits, or just bored folks.

    AUTO RUN KEY!

    L :blink: :blink: K, devs, we are jamming stuff in our keyboards to spare RSI/Carpal tunnel and associated "holding this key for 10, 20, 30 minutes is permanent damage" to our precious phalanges. A class action lawsuit over damaged W and E keys could cost you, well, not much, but if autorun entails heart attack, so be it. I am not AFK when jamming, and adjust course, but for reals, it's what non-hackers do to cover terrain. Oops, said too much already. Not a hacker, but what a taboo subject.

    experimental server browsing

    When I searched on gametracker I only saw 5 experimental servers in the whole world, and none come up in the server browser. I'm in Northern California, so I expected to see tons, Los Angeles is only 600 miles away.
  9. Sure has been raining a lot in DayZ land. Well, off in experimental, you can get soaked. I don't know what it means, but it isn't good, and now I'm afraid of the rain. And my arm was fractured!
  10. Weird topic is weird. I play as a female because I can, so there. The model is not overly busty, looks more like a military girl, which is pretty unusual for video games. In the experimental branch, she even breathes like a girl instead of a guy which really helps. As to number of girls who play, there are enough. What does that mean? Nothing. One thing is for sure, girls don't like being the focus of weird attention, and like to be more than just a girl, much like none of us are just a guy and that is all. Pretty strange everyone trying to be so unique but cannot apply that lens to the opposite sex. That said, if there was an obese slovenly male model, I'd try that one, or an extremely elderly male, I'd do that one too.

    experimental server browsing

    I just went to Steam, and opted into the experimental version, now it says "[EXPERIMENTAL]" in the game list. Launched it as normal and the upper right has the version. But mama raised no fool, and I'm playing now. =) http://www.gametracker.com/search/dayz/?query=experimental
  13. Hello, at this point in time (Feb 20, 2014) the stable version appears to be 0.36.115188 and the experimental version is 0.36.115535. I launched the experimental client and when I click "change server" every server has a red X and has the stable version, no servers on the experimental version. Does this work, I know many are playing experimental, but I cannot seem to get off the ground. Sorry for what will probably be a short thread.

    Voice recorder suggestion

    I think the pens and paper already kind of do this without voice. Have you tried it? I have not yet but I've seen many images of it. It would be neat to confirm if it has any internationalization, да? Edit: after "i18n" I wrote Da, but used the cyrillic D (looks like a squarish A). So boards don't like it.
