Go for a Haswell CPU ASAP and you'll be fine for the next 5 years maybe.

Yeah, you should buy ArmA II. Because no one knows when the standalone will be released (probably not very soon) and your ArmA experience will have a slight impact on your DayZ gameplay.

Actually that was Alienware, you could notice it as a sign on the laptop's rear. The engine has its limitations (regarding the video settings). If you have a Haswell CPU and a top-of-the-line GPU that doesn't mean you're the only one who wants to play the game, know what I mean?

Don't be an egoist, other people want to play as well as you want.

You may get a gaming laptop for 800-900$, but that's not what you're looking for I think. The best way is to build one.

I've been on it ALONE today while it was morning and I heard shootings many many times while there was no one on the server. Does this mean something?

TBH, playing for almost an year, I have NEVER found one or a nightvision (doesn't include body/tent/car looting).

Obviously it doesn't, remember that PC architecture and you'll figure it out:

Upgrade everything. Your CPU and even the GPU are really outdated. Go for top of the line right away Don't listen to this guy, you'll run the game on medium settings with up to 40 FPS. Trust a laptop owner. Just interesting, did anyone run the game on the new Haswell i7-4770K?

Why do you ask if you know that your rig is almost top of the line? Actually I'd rather go for a GTX 780 or something like that.

Seems like it was a noob, an Arma vet wouldn't be behaving like that, nice one =)

No sense to make this topic here - there will be separate forums for the standalone (dayzgame.com). These boards won't be ported I guess.

Adding postprocess and FXAA boosted my FPS from 15-20 to 30-40.

What the hell, why do I run it on 30+ FPS on mobile dual core i3 CPU?

Keep calm about zeds and release dates, they didn't even implement the multiplayer client :lol:

That's the point of every game. To implement something which avoids abusing, the devs have to sacrifice a "realism" feature. This is how it works.

Feeling sarcastic? :lol:

Obviously we're not talking here about CryEngine, UDK and other developement kits which NO ONE supports such a huge environment like Chernarus or Stratis (from ArmA 3). But still, it's all about the human brain, you know that quote - Brain - use it. The NASA computers have nothing to do with the normal computer architecture (Internal memory - CPU - RAM etc. etc.). You just can't believe what you're told to believe, right? EDIT: I've been reading your post over and over again and I'm really agreed with your statement about sacrificing features to make others better, beans for that. I'm a former PAWN/Small-C developer and I've been through this many times. But I'm not about to compare myself to the magnificant DayZ developement team. Bravo!

Glad now that you showed off your box?

You're going to spawn with random clothes on. And you'll be scavenging for new pants, boots, hats and so on as well.

$500 PC which beats the next gen consoles? Sounds a bit strange to me. Trying to build one up with FX-6100 (or even a Phenom II X6) and a GDDR5 HD 7750 counted somewhere near $800-900 (with monitor and everything you need). Might be integrated. Intel HD 4000 or whatever that CPU comes with.

Did anyone read this post? :lol:

You mean "get 11 more posts faster" =)

Wait wait wait, stop right here. It's a game, okay? They've got the engine, but still they have the whole source code in their hands (I mean the game engineer's hands or whatever). C++ = everything possible, isn't it? Not trying to be gummy BTW, but this is the reality.

lolwut? Much less features in the SA than the mod? Gotta be kidding me.
