Today I was practicing shooting (in real life, I mean). I went prone for more stability, but I didn't put a mat down. When I got back up, I had dirt all on me. My legs, my chest, my clothes, etc. Anyways, I suggest we add this into the standalone. It would display info about what you have been doing in a realistic and immersive way. For example, if I'm a sniper and I spend every second lying down prone in the dirt, then I should have dirt all over me. If I occasionally crouch down to sneak, I should only have dirt on my knees. This could give away what you've been doing and, with some other systems in place (blood on clothes, stance, etc.), it could help replace the current humanity system.

What are you?

Yes, it'll be fine.

Really? We don't like pirates here.

What's your OS?

But you would also need medical tape. Or scotch tape.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling DayZ.

If you're gonna say no, at least give me a good reason. Otherwise, you just look like a troll, and I'll ignore you.

Beans for you!

This sounds like the game is having trouble loading all of the objects. Try settings your VRAM to default. If that doesn't work, the only thing I can think of is that you might need an SSD.

As much as I'd recommend a desktop, I already had a laptop build in mind. You'd have to find a way to get this thing to Europe though. http://www.xoticpc.c...?wconfigure=yes It needs some upgrades, so I'll make it simple with pics: First, choose the CPU that has the blue dot beside it: Next up, you need an OS to even make you computer work. Choose one of the ones I've boxed for you. Don't even consider the others. Next the RAM: Those are the three you absolutely need. The price: This thing is 2-3 times as powerful as the MX14. This is well worth every penny.

I have no idea, but this is in the wrong forum section. I reported it, and it should be moved to a section where you can get some serious help.

LINK IS BROKEN! :(

This makes me wanna barf. It's not a bad idea, it just makes me feel sick.

http://www.xoticpc.c...?wconfigure=yes This blows the MX14 out of the water (the thing is honestly a rip-off, no offence). There a couple of upgrades you'll need. I'll make it simple with pics: First, choose the CPU that has the blue dot beside it: Next up, you need an OS to even make you computer work. Choose one of the ones I've boxed for you. Don't even consider the others. Next the RAM: Those are the three you absolutely need. The price: This thing is 2-3 times as powerful as the MX14. This is well worth every penny.

Unless the server allows it, you can't use the mod online. When you said Arma 2 OA, I thought you meant singleplayer. My bad. I do have something else that could help, though. Go into your documents and click on Arma 2. Open Arma2.cfg and Arma2OA.cfg in notepad. In both files, find GPUmaxframesahead and Gpudetected frames ahead. Change the number after those to 1. DO this in both files. You should get a hefty FPS increase. Also, try this optimization guide: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33071-guide-properly-setting-up-your-graphics-for-proper-optimization/

Let me walk you through it, because it's a bit confusing. First, go to the Arma 2 OA folder. Create a new folder and name it @grass. Then go into @grass and create a folder called addons. Open up the mod I showed you. You'll see one of two things when you open it. The first one is that you might see two .pbo files. If you see these, extract them into the addons folder you created. The second is that you'll see a folder. If this happens, open up that folder and any folders in it until you find two .pbo files. Extract the pbos to the addons folder you created. After that, load up Arma 2 and click on extensions. Scroll down in that menu until you see @grass. Double click it, press okay, then restart the game. Done.

If you did this, you would have my money so fast.

I had just joined a random private hive. Apparently, it was a custom server. I started with a golden revolver and a mag for it, and an axe. I immediately went to the nearest town and started looting. There were a few bodies, but they had nothing useful except for a bandage. That was about the time I started hearing footsteps. Not the slow steps that a zombie makes, but fast, like a human. I hid in building. It was definitely footsteps, just a little to the east. I figured I'd go out and find whoever was causing it. As walked out, I maintained constant awareness in all directions. That's when I saw it: he was behind me. I tried to get to cover, but he had already come around the corner. I was exposed. I tried to use voice chat and tell him to drop his gun, but I had forgotten to bind my voice chat key to T after I created a new profile in Arma 2. So now I was just pointing my gun at the guy. He fired. He fired and hit me three times before I hit him once. But I was smart. I got a headshot and he went down. I bandaged. He shot me one time when he got back up, then I got a body shot and a headshot. He went down, then I spent the rest of my mag ending him. I bandaged and equipped my axe to kill the zombies the gunfight had aggroed. Suddenly, his buddy came around the corner. He hit me once or twice (I can't remember which one), and I ran to the docks and locked myself in a building. I heard him outside, trying to avoid zombies. Finally, I charged. He ran. He hit me once, but I hit him with my axe multiple times. He kept running. Now I went full on madman (I literally yelled "come back here!!!!" over the mic). He was weak. Out of ammo. I was going to finish him. He pulled out his axe and hit me once before he died. That caused me to bleed, and I only had about one thousand or two thousand blood left. Then the game glitched, and automatically hid his body. My only chance was to make it back to the other guy and get his bandage. The zombies were to busy beating the unconscious guy to death, so I made it to the body and bandaged. Success. So yeah, five to six revolver shots and a hatchet hit. I'm tough.

Run steam as administrator. This is the first thing you should try.

Actually, drugs are supposed to be a big part of the standalone. Rocket said it, but I can't remember when or where.

Play the Arma 2 tutorials. They'll get you up to speed on how to play.

Hey guys, this was originally a thread about replacing the Makarov, but we somehow got on the topic of weappon damage in general. SO..... discuss! Also, ignore the first page or so, because that was the discussion on the original suggestion.

Beans for this!
