Do these parameter tweaks and the change of the two files to "read-only" affect changes made by updates? I.e., could people with these changes be passed over by possible fps improvements?

I would already rejoice about a "zombies killed" counter.

I'm speculating here, so I have no clue. I suppose the devs would have to find out by testing and feedback from the community.

Right now loot spawns when the server resets. That means people just have to look at the servertime and/or the number of players, and join a server near a high loot site. With autonomous-respawning loot (at least that's how I image the system will be) the loot would disappear if people join the server too close to it.

Eventually prevents serverhopping and there is a reward for going through an already looted location. Possibly encourages "loot farming", i.e. walking in a large circle and cyling the spawned loot, but that is a big improvement over the current system, and the best system that I can think of.

Exactly.

Did you tweek the files in the documents/dayz folder, the cfg-file and the one with your user name? It's probably because you made it read-only. Simply tab out of the game, uncheck read-only, make the changes in the game, then tab out and check the boxes again. Worked for me.

Priority No.1, definitely.

I don't think it would suit the nomadic behavior people should and probably will have in this game, once loot and zombie spawns are fixed. Also, it would entirely change the way people fight, and not in a good way. Particularly in buildings.

The M4 has 2 fire modes, automatic and single shot, which does make the M4 a bearable medium range weapon. I prefer the SKS, but have yet to kill someone with it. How many bullets does it take to kill someone? Dayz-wiki says 1-4 to the body, last time I tried, 5 shots didn't bring the guy down. Possible missed a few.

What "reset bug" are you talking about, anyway? In over 100 hours I've been reset maybe three or four times, clearly you are doing something wrong.

Bleeding, too? Are you sure they don't just die of blood loss in the 30 seconds they remain in the game after they logged out?

It was experimental, though. I met 6 unarmed people on the way to Elektro, which all joined the group, then we met 2 guys with a shovel and an axe. Naturally, everybody wanted a piece of that sweet, sweet shovel and axe, so we fought them. Someone played music through their mic, and like this we stormed and fought through Elektro. Didn't take long for some grumpy, grouchy guy to kill us all one by one with his rifle. Being a bambi is the happy, joyful time you'll ever have. Just like in real life.

You are not very demanding :) In the "standard" version of the DayZ Mod, without any of the mods which came out later, people already held locations. One trade guild blocked the gates of Devil's Castle with barbwire and sandbags, and made it safe place for people to come to and trade. I think they even had a chopper to fly people in and out, and there were snipers on the walls watching out for hostile players and zombies. It was fun until a hacker killed them all. I don't see why this wouldn't be possible later on, when all that stuff and more is added in. Especially with base building possibilities, which are planned to be implemented at some point, afaik. I would like to see an entire town in clan/guild possession, with the usual bandit groups trying to drive them out. Would be pretty cool to take sides in such an event. It's even more likely in the standalone than in the mod, because the devs wanted to enlarge the server capacities. Edit: Wow, awesome ideas right there.

I enjoyed reading this.

Oh, you're actually deaf. I thought he just said that because your headset was broken or something. Sorry then, and yes, your anger about his behavior is justified.

Infiltrating you because you forgot to take his teamspeak access, killing almost all of you because you can't identify each other on TS (even though there are apparently only 4 of you), and because of that you want to ban him? He sounds pretty awesome, and sry, but you don't really come across as the victim here..

Whats the name of the server? Just so I don't accidentally join it.

I just watched a video of it.. wow. It really does look awesome. But you are right, it would be a lot of work, and performance would greatly suffer. Cherno already gives me only 1/3 of the fps I have elsewhere.

It sucks, I know. I can just hope that the final game will have significantly better performance. Op, have you tried installing it yet?

I've seen this a couple of times, it's a character model that usually crouches, but for some reason sometimes lie down for a short time, and even moves his head. If you hit him he bleeds, but doesn't die. It's very weird.

That's why I'm asking, the automatic driver update does not work for some reason. I had to manually delete everything gpu driver-related, download the newest ATM driver and update it then. I've tried a few different settings, shadows, better objects etc. worsen my fps, I achieve the best results with very low. Or are there any tweaks I'm missing out on?

I'm running it on an AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB, which I think is my system's bottleneck. 25fps tops, in Cherno around 8, with all settings very low or disabled. Did you have to modify anything, update cpu driver manually, apply the fps enhancer, or did you just install and run it? How well does it run for you?

Here you go, just found this an hour ago

Weird, I have already done that a dozen times, did nothing for me.
