dph314 2 Posted June 16, 2012 I just saw this for the first time. Two screenshots below show what I saw. They were these orbs of light that were around the zombies' heads. Every zombie in sight. Even ones not in sight. The orbs even highlighted the zeds that were blocked from my direct line-of-sight by trees and even land. Has anyone seen this before? Glitch maybe? Made things a hell of a lot easier, ha. But the server was restarted shortly after taking these screenshots and I didn't get a chance to ask the server name before I got booted.

sephisto69 201 Posted June 16, 2012 I get that, though it only shows on the sides of my screen until I look at the object emitting these "orb" lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dph314 2 Posted June 16, 2012 So it acts like an off-screen zed type of radar for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sephisto69 201 Posted June 16, 2012 It works on other players even, and working vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dph314 2 Posted June 16, 2012 So is this a glitch? Or some 'Super-Easy Mode' that I don't know about that can be activated server-side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exigo 2 Posted June 16, 2012 Its intende to "simulate" peripheral vision since fov in games are very low compared to a humans normal fov and then added peripheral vision. It is supposed to just be there when there is something in your peripheral vision then when you look at the object it should fade out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thomas.bowyer@hotmail.co.uk 25 Posted June 16, 2012 I have that on DayZ single player.. but never online thats like wallhax! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReploidGodX 0 Posted June 16, 2012 it's not a glitch, it's a server running basically the default settings. people turn that off after awhile which really annoys me but hey, I can play without it so it's not a big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thygrrr 1 Posted June 16, 2012 I have it in DayZ on most servers, but never on objects that are actually IN my field of vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 16 Posted June 16, 2012 That is when the server is set to recruit difficulty. It is trying to emulate peripheral vision. It the server was set to expert or higher you would not see this. Same as you would not see the green cross hairs.It is a part of Arma 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dph314 2 Posted June 16, 2012 Ah, so it's left over from Arma2? Well, these orbs definitely didn't go away when I looked at the zeds. In fact, there were no orbs along the border of my screen. I only saw them when I was looking at the zeds. So it's just a rare setting that 90% of servers disable? Played dozens of servers over my 100 hours of gameplay, never seen 'em before.Edit: Ok. Yeah I don't play many 'Recruit' servers, so that might be why I never saw them. But they didn't go away at all when looking at the zeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dale0404 16 Posted June 16, 2012 They are also meant to be used as a target indicator, hence the recruit setting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
