gamerer 65 Posted December 13, 2012 I've been away for a few months and I've noticed a sharp drop in general activity (atleast in the Six Launcher, nowadays like 3x less players than before (20k+ -> 6k~) which kind of bugs me, as I enjoyed the game and felt like picking it up again. I know there are private servers, do they just not appear on the list?Also on the updates, anything new performance-wise? My computer had some hickups on some servers while trying to run the game (not just a memory related issue, my computer sucks bollocks), it'd be great if there were just a little boost, updating the game atm :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tufting 21 Posted December 13, 2012 Logging and loading into servers is way faster than it was, waiting for ages often put me off playing it, but it's good now.General gameplay seems smoother too.Not seeing so many "Why is my FPS so low!!?!?!?!" threads now either :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timmymachine109 (DayZ) 235 Posted December 13, 2012 Most players play on private hives now...as for performance I'm not sure how much they can actually do to improve it as it isn't DayZ that is the issue it's ArmA 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted December 13, 2012 A lot of us are just eagerly waiting for the foundation build now. :)I'd recommend either using DayZ Commander or the ArmA 2 in-game server browser to find a private hive server to play on though, there are still a lot of people playing. About your FPS - you might have more luck with a map like Lingor. I can run Lingor on max graphics no problem but I have to turn a few things down and still drop to 30 FPS in the main cities in Chernarus. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be trying Lingor, I guess.Question about private servers though; is it not that that the items and shizzle store in that one server only? I far prefer the system that lets me keep my items on a multitude of servers as opposed to one, talking about seeing fresh faces and stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastoverlord 574 Posted December 13, 2012 If you play on private hives, your stuff won't be saved for other private ones. If you want your stuff to transfer, play on public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted December 13, 2012 I think your gear carries between all Vilayer servers but for the most part it is restricted to the one private hive server, yeah.Hackers can be a problem these days and private hives are allowed to use password or whitelist protection though so you'll find a lot of players are playing in private hives now.
