Sminky

Tried replacing the animation files as stated, sadly did bugger all for me, games still unplayable. Dam they seem to have been activly making this game worse over the past few months.

so annoying that such a game breaking bug (alpha or no) has been left untouched for so long. I hope that soloution works

didnt someone post a fix for this, what happend to that. Would like to get back into it.

since the new patch (7.4), the textures all now seem very nice and high res with a great draw distance and clarity, a huge improvment which is great. But have the infected become 'insane' again. Seems suddenly 30 or 40 can jsut apear on your tail out of nowhere, i've had them run from a town 400m away to my point on the outskirts when i've been hid behind a tree. I actually died in a stand off, when i enraged a group ducked into a building for cover, figured i'd be fine with my aks and m1911, i eventually died after 50 zombies spawnd and jsut kept multiplying, before the where no walls, jsut zombies.. That was kinda fun, and very 'zombie movie', however i did nearly nothing to provoke that many, and they jsut kept spawning and comming. Like i say it was fun, doing it now with no weapons though is suicide. Also have the deer stands stopped spawning loot? Ta

or no wepons at all, games nigh on imposible right now starting afresh. Weird your getting fog, i have near infinate draw distance, and it's all nice and sharp now (running 4gb ram, 460gtx, i5 2500)

hopefully it will be hotfixed in 7.5 then, right now starting as a new charcter is nigh on impossible unless you wantto cheat and server hop.

now of that only worked for wall paper, guesing that vid was taken before the patch as soo few z's

However if you were playing this game a few months back then there was a sence of meeting and helping people, and of coarse still shooting people. This was a much richer experiance then the game curently is in its preasnt state.

yup broke mine too, it fails to load into the main game.

The games far from perfect, and devlopment time is super slow. If inclined a Studio publisher will beat DAy Z to the post with a more solid but less brave game. However i doubt that another (at least large) dev team will take it on, 600k users is still no where near what a large studio would expect to see to make it profitable for them. 2 million (for instance Prototype 2) sales is small enough to close a studio these days.

Take a brake, rather then being a random dick. Or just respawn Day Z curently only really works/ is enjoyable when you have to fight tooth and nail to survive. Force yourself not to server hop/ disconnect. It it becomes a fantastic and brutal game again.

i tend to always die to a teleporting sniper (seen them drop in). Very frustraiting.

I couldnt find any answers on the bug forum, and i'm not entily sure it is one so posting here. I only have a hatchet as a wepon, but i also have a hunting knife, when i kill an animal with the hatchet it intialy tells me there is how many meats on the carcas, but i have no way of harvesting them. Did they change how it works. Or is there a bug when a animal is killed by a hatchet?

i'll stick it in the bug report bit then, how do i move a thread, if i can?

I dont know if this is a bug, or new feature, but after a respawn and finally finding a gun the stack of 12 gauge ammo i have says its only for the Mp40 (green) but it's 12 guage, i'm sure the 12 green gauge ammo used ot work in the winchester?

bugger so much green 12 guage ammo of no use then, but thanks. Which type of 12 guage goes into the winchester then?

i always randonly die to a 'dodgy' sniper, nothing else, I wish they would stop changing the server names (always to a telporting sniper on a rouge server). I'm all for PVP but i think high grade military equipment should be taken out

I signed back in after a few weeks break (waiting for item bugs to be fixed). Lost my Camo, but at least i kept my items. However there seems to be very few populaited servers, no problem getting in but where is everyone? Has the apeal of the mod droped off, as it doesnt seem to be the case from the foroums?

Thats what i thought, yet the server browser is showing lots and lots of empty servers for me (uk bassed here), and i can get into servers ok so it seems the patch installed correctly. How odd.

is that why no ones playing?

These scrappy broken updates don't bode well really, it's not a new mechanic that is or isn't working, it's entire fundermentals that are broken. Fair enough, except this one was held back for 'testing'

I thought one of the main reasons 1.7.2 took so long to come out is that Rocket wanted to make sure it was stable before release to avoide past fiascos. Well that went well.

The fact that each update breaks the game more then fixes it, and popular requests go ignored makes me think that possible Rocket / one man can't develop this Mod now on their own. It will flutter and die then come back as a standalone, where Bohima's reputation for making fantastic yet broken games will earn it middling to highsih reviews and it will be relativly ignored by the large majority as the novelty has worn off and other studios have made robust literations (if not as brave) by that time. I really hope not, really want it to be properly sucsesfull, I really hope they manage to pull it off. But mostly I really want the damn thiing to be playable.

Sounds like you brought a lot of the COD mentality with you..... Even after learning the mechanics

Yup it really sucks how tents arn't being fixed in the slightest. I wouldnt bother if i was you unless you want 30 mins of tedium
