I think using a pre existing engine on DayZ standalone would limit the capabilities of what the developers would want to do with the game, much like how arma 2 engine restricts them for the DayZ mod. It is much better to build it from the ground up and customize it how ever they wish.That is my guess anyways.

I also enjoy the vids. Your crazy personality makes the video interesting even when you aren't doing anything.

cant you just make a new player on the main menu?

it might be listed under demos, all you need is arma 2 free and operation arrowhead. I would also purchase now if i were you. Too much fun to wait for the standalone.

I was in the exact same situation as you op. I used to fire shots as soon as i seen the person. Since they were moving around so much i would miss and zombies would start chasing me and i would not be able to get another clear shot off. Over time i realized that waiting patiently until you are clear of a perfect shot is much more effective. You are able to go in for the kill and run off from zombies then loot after losing aggro. Be patient! Wait for them to stop moving and if you can take them out easily, go for it!

lol i thought the exact same thing when i saw the looters come by and check it out

Nice first weapon find! I was in the same boat as you. With each life you gain more and more knowledge of how to survive. Most fun i've had in a game for a while. Oh yeah, my first weapon was the lee enfield. Had no idea of the amount of zombies it would attract until i fired it. I died after

I thought a headshot is an instant death? How can people ALT F4 if they are already dead? My murder count never raises, and i make sure to keep firing until it says "so and so has died"

//Raise humanity if save player if (zombieInPursuit()==true && zombieTarget != myself){ if(myTarget() == killed) humanity+ =600; } did i win?

I was a fresh spawn that spawned in Kamarovo and only found a hatchet on my way to Cherno. I ended up in Belota to loot what i can. So there i was in Balota, looting the tents I was coming across,then out of no where, a guy in a Ghillie suit runs up to me. I get nervous and instinct kicks in and i run towards him but its too late. His Salute emote goes off right as i left click and slice him with my hatchet, he then runs 30 meters and turns around and I see his sniper aiming towards me. I have no choice but to finish him off. I run towards him, slice him one more time and down he goes. Slice him 5 more times just to make sure hes dead. I am sorry ghillie suit guy, I didn't mean to kill you. Your Salute emote was too late and my nervousness kicked in. Thanks for the M16 ACOG. I feel horrible!

Did you mouse wheel to change the option to take bag?

lol, was wondering if someone would quote me on that. I just recently upgraded my ram. Planning to upgrade to 64-bit windows 7 next time i need to reformat. Anyone find a solution to this problem yet? I updated my GPU drivers thinking it would help. Same thing though. It is after maybe 30-40 mins of playing, regardless of where i am (Big city or in the woods) GPU still randomly decides its going to stop working hard and render the minimal graphics with 2-5 fps.

I am also experiencing this problem. I am able to play for around 30 minutes with my GPU being fully utilized, then all of the sudden, the game pauses for a second then textures on the objects look like they are lower than low and i drop to like 2 fps.My gpu fan goes down to 60% speed and my gpu temps drop. Its like its not using its full potential to render the graphics. 8 players on the server when it is capable for 50, 40 zombies alive, how long the server has been running i am not sure, and i was on the outskirts of Cherno, maybe 300 km away. Please post an update if you find any information on this. Once i restart the game right away, everything is fine for a while again. Kind of scared to go into the big cities if this happens while looting or being chased 32bit windows 7 8gig ram AMD Phenom II X3 2.6ghz 9800gtx+ with 512 vram (Not SLI)
