I love the speed stuff is beeing added in But guys, deal with things like bullets hitting invisible walls, stopping in bushed and stopping in grass.

 

Zombies going thru walls and hitting you thru the ceiling. 

 

But all in all good job.

[latz 107]

when can we expect loot respawn?

 

thx

[epeenoire 82]

It seems it's a rather useless task to ask such questions in here or even on these forums. Go ask the devs on twitter or reddit, I guess they're more responsive there (not to say: responsive at all).

[whothehellishe 81]

Guys can you please start adding small explanations for some changes/fixes, i mean not everyone is a computer wiz u know...and its also good to avoid all of these posts where people asking for the explanation. Thanx

You can at least turn off the "ping" noise by turning down the "Music" option in the settings to zero.

 

Does anyone know how often the experimental servers restart? From the complete lack of loot everywhere yesterday, even inland in the small towns I'm guessing it is much less frequently than the stable servers.

I'm still having serious performance issues since version 0.34 update. On 0.33 I was gettin solid rock +40 fps with drops at towns, but always giving fps above 30. Since 0.34, I've been experimenting serious lag, my fps count don't go above 15 fps, I get a lot of stuter and it drops to 4-7 on towns. This happens in all server conditions and indepently of graphic settings, launch options or ini configurations, I get exactly the same results.

 

My system specs:

 

Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz

16 Gb RAM 1666 Mhz

2x GTX580 SLI (Enabled and disabled, forcing ToH/Arma:OA SLI profiles from Nvidia Inspector, same results)

1TB Western Digital Caviar Black HDD

Windows 7 Professional

Ndivia drivers 334.89 (also tested with previous version, same results)

 

Anyone could give me some input on this?

 

Thanks :)

yeah i have the same problem, not getting anywhere near the FPS i was getting before the last couple patches, hopefully they will be able to get the performance back up to par again.

nudity being discussed..... if i really have to watch twenty 12 year olds who have decided to strip there character and run around naked, i would really like my money back.  At this point it's stupid enough people are doing it by taking there pants off and just running through don't make it worse, even better make pants something that can't be taken off only interchanged.

Great stuff...looking forward to having those berries appear in my backpack.

 

Did some research on what these could possibly do to your player....

I think these are the ones they're referring to....

[simplicity 22]

My hope - I haven't played it yet, is that "Eat All" simply avoids having to manually press a button each time... the animation should take the same amount of time as spamming the eat button (if you could).  If it takes 10 servings to finish a bag of rice and only 4 servings to finish a can of beans, that's how much time it should take under "Eat All."  You shouldn't be able to finish a bigger meal in the same amount of time as a smaller one.

 

*noted the Reddit comments from Rocket.  Still hope the length of the animation is based on how much food is being eaten.

There's one thing which shouldn't be overlooked when introducing "Eat all" to the game. Eating and associated animation should stop when player receives "My stomach feels stuffed" message, but player could continue to eat by pressing "Eat" button. This would save us from situations where you eat too much and vomit, game devs from nags in forums and feedback tracker.

(e.g., when you eat all pack of rice (10 portions) via "Eat All", but your stomach has room only for 2 portions.)

Thanks for all the hard work.......:)

If you don't find that entertaining then you should probably stop playing. It's a game. Let people play it how they want to play it. I think the nudity thing would be hilarious. There's nothing unreal about it and you shouldn't let it bother you. If you hate people running around with their pants off (I'm one of them when I feel like straying away from the current monotanous way of playing) then you probably don't enjoy the game for what it is. Stop taking it so seriously.

 

Currently a friend and I find ourselves holding new spawns hostage for a few and making them drop their pants before they run off to Elektro. So you could probably blame us for all the pantsless people you see running around. If that annoys you, feel free to shoot them on sight for being ill-clothed. #teampantspolice

If you don't like what they're doing, gun them down.

 

It's a sandbox game.

The fact you can run around being fully kitted out military style or naked throwing shits at people sounds hilarious to me.

Thats what sandbox is.

[sdry 2]

Hope net code gets some tweaks too.

Hit detection seems quite random on bullets and specially melee. I don't even bother going melee against zombies, because hitting them eg. whit a axe seems completely random, and if hit, it takes often several seconds before targets gets the damage. (ping under 60. 100/100mb connection.)

 

Another thing is dropping stuff to the ground can still take from seconds to minutes. "did it fall under the ground again? oh shi..... Oh there it finally is!" seems routine.

 

Finally one hour seems to be ultimate maximum playtime on any server at this state, before I get yellow chain icon and "no message from server in xx seconds". Often way more early.

Hi, there is a date for the launch ?

[Bestburg 2]

I wish the game would run more smoothly than this is now.

That s really weird, the game is running smoother than before on my config ( which is really worst than yours : 560 gtx , 8 Gb ram, intel i7 2600k, Windows 7 ultimate 64 bits ).

I have something like 50 fps in the wild and 30 fps in the cities !

The problem is probably on your side.

 

( sorry for my english ! )

[SpudGun (DayZ) 13]

Graphics: Adding lights to currently rendered scene changed

Graphics: Spot light culling fixed

 

Does this mean flashlights don't shine through walls/ceilings now?

[mefistoz 7]

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or...? If you want to get technical with it, the AK-47 was easier to field strip, but suffered greatly with inaccuracy due to barrel shaking/shudder, loose fit parts, and the front and rear postal sights being so close. AK-47 is a beautiful rifle, but I wouldn't let my life rely on one.

You are funny little thing everybody knows that AK - 47 i still the best mainstream assault weapon over there...oh yes there is a lot better but they are too much expensive like mainstream weapon...
