1.7.1.5 Zombie train survival [YouTube]

Hi fellow survivors!

I died from a stupid mistake yesterday. Don't we all...

Anyhow, I re-spawned down at Otmel in south-east Chernarus and decided to check out Zombie behavior in DayZ 1.7.1.5. So I began running (full stand up sprint) north towards Berezino.

At the houses just south of Solnichniy I managed to attract a fairly large Zombie train, but I kept on running north with the angry mob breathing down my neck. Approaching Solnichniy I decided to see if I could get rid of them, so i started running through and between a couple of houses and managed to loose the Zombies.

Sneaking around in the outskirts of Solnichniy I heard gun fire and found another survivor who were shooting Zombies in some stables. He asked for morphine which I didn't have and I asked him for food. We had a short conversation, then he ran out of ammo and was killed (sorry I could not help you Mattias, I had no gun).

The stables were full of zombies he had attracted during his attempt at survival, and I desperately wanted to get to his loot as I was getting both hungry and thirsty. After finding an empty can on a dead zombie I used it to distract Zombies from his body and looted him. Almost all zombies left the stables to investigate the noise. the ones who stayed inside however gave me a beating, but I survived. I then continued to Berezino where I raided tents, supermarkets, hospital and a house :)

There are several interesting spots in these videos where you can see at what distance, sound level, stance I do or don't attract zombies.

Conclusion:

1.7.1.5 Re-spawn survivability chances: Great! :)

At the beginning of this adventure I had very good frame-rate (50-55 fps, I use to have around 30 fps). However, after an hour or so it was down to about 25-30 fps.
