Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 27, 2014 Yes I know it's a work in progress but I'm wondering if it'll be more than just a giant shower head over you? It's kind of hard to explain but it's like you only see rain 5 ft in front of you. Your own personal rain cloud. Does anyone else notice it like this or am I going crazy? This is on both stable and regular servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is on both stable and regular serversYeah i know what you mean and the only reason i can think of is to save performance.. Thats not a great reason i know but hey maybe when they get the game running better they may revisit some of there visual effects.. I know the game doesnt run like a slide show for you and i am pretty decent to at this early stage so i am happy to crank the settings up but many people are just scraping min frames to play..

And I get a lot of people are just happy to be able to play even on the lowest setting but, ugh, why would you want to play with Duke Nukem 3D graphics :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Ivan (DayZ) 15 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I like how it rains indoors. And you can be thirsty and not able to drink rain water. Edited February 27, 2014 by Crazy Ivan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AAtlas 16 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I like how it rains indoors. And you can be thirsty and not able to drink rain water.It only rains indoors if your shadows are set to anything lower than "Normal" settingAlso, on experimental you should now be able to collect rain water into bottles, I haven't tried it yet though so don't quote me on that one Edited February 27, 2014 by AAtlas 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DerDuderich 149 Posted February 27, 2014 Especially the rain indoor only occurs on low graphic settings = bad computers. Get a decent graphic chip, turn everything on max and you won't have any problems. I never saw raining indoor anywhere and I personally love rain because it creates a great atmosphere.

I have everything maxed and it still rains inside.The only thing i can think of is if you guys have altered your "shadowZDistance=" line in your config file and made the file read only. (which you kind of have to) IF the figure is set below 250 i found that no matter what my video setting was i still had rain indoors, so i suggest if it is set to anything below that to change it and see if that helps, apart from that though, I'm stumped. could well be a bug.
