the fishing hooks can easily be overseen!  they are very Little!

the Skyscraper villages around chernarus dont give me fps Drops now!

I like it because it's stupid how it used to make you like half as fast, taking a gun out wouldn't magically make you heavier and thus slower and they're not that hard to carry.

But yeah it sucks because now bambi's will have a harder time running away from bandits since they can almost keep up, stop then shoot you where before you'd be like 300m away in seconds and could just zig zag to avoid gunfire which would also take some aiming at that range now anyone with an M4 can shoot a runner in typical pew pew pew fashion.

 

 

I do insist that the movement speed with a weapon on your hands is still such ridicolous. It is true that having a weapon on a backpack or in your hands should not affect your movement speed...but this is a game and some limitations must be made to do not affect the balance.

It is true that before you could zig zag out with no weapons, but now you can do the same with as speed is quite the same, plus i do insist that you can't stop anyone. 9 out 10 an human contact is a firefight, you can't catch anyone.

always one idiot who thinks the eyes see in frames. we see in motion and i can personally tell the difference between 30, 60 and 120., and 240. Put a game on each, I'll tell you which one is which, which feels damns smoother. Your eye interprets moving images and combines them in your brain. You do NOT see in flash frames like a camera records. the eye and brain is complex and everyone is different. A game running at 120 compared to 60 will have an advantage especially on a shooting game where the game will refresh the image 60 times in one second, each movement you make will not register to your screen, eyes and feedback to your brain as instantly as a 120 fps. And of course small instances make all the difference in a shooting game.

Another example is the Hobbit film which ran on 44 fps and that is so much different to watching a standard HD film, you can see the smoothness in the action sequences look dramatically smoother and less clunky

 

melfist is right that the refresh rate of your screen is the top framerate you EVER going to see..

.; the physiological theory of what your eye-brain does with that, isn't relevant. I mean - that's how we "see" moving images in the first place.. we all know how 'movies' work.

edit : also stutter will be more disturbing ingame than a steady framerate.

I haven't tried experimental as i've been far too busy getting my dayz series edited and filmed ready for youtube.. but from what you guys are saying, most people are getting fps increases.. which makes me happy! :D Hopefully this is true and helps when it is bought to stable

Where do bows spawn? Or do you have to craft them? Been searching without joy...

You have to craft them..Rope+Ashwood Stick(i think)...

 

[Gugolas 228]

True. Be sure not to mistake it with the option to craft the fishing rod.

It "fires" the compound arrows (not the crossbow ones), that you can find and you can't craft arrows atm.

So like someone else said Uk hardcore is definitely running on a completely different hive than the rest of the hardcore experimental :(.. And besides that it seems that I'm also experiencing player wipes , trying to play with a friend I've gotten my character wiped two times now back to back on the same server ... Some experimental servers are killing characters :0 !! But on other news found my first animal(s)! I found them all in the north west if anyone is wondering ...

[SFRGaming 718]

Is it just me or do the High-Capacity Vests a little too dark in color? They match nothing in color for me. The black one against a black tactical shirt is SO much darker than the shirt.

Can you get HELTHY bar?

[Otis.Driftwood 204]

I just climbed the city hall in the new town and i was looking for survivors from above, few minutes passed and then i got message that my leg is in pain and instantly message that i'm dead. No bullets, no falling, nothing. 

 

That was weird 

[MagneticToast 102]

With this update i think the increased movement speed with a weapon is rubbish.

 

Now quite everyone runs with  a weapon on their hands, and they sacrifice a little bit of speed by having at least a weapon on their hands.

 

This means is nearly impossible to ambush someone with a weapon and handcuff him, or just having an human contact.

The Kill on sight with no reason percentage increase, this because of being scared to meet someone with a weapon on their hands and  aiming.

sucks to hear this, players are way too fast as it is :(

I honesty haven't had many problems with this only one ... And as a melee weilding fresh spawn I can tell you it's still not that easy to knock out a fully geared guy if he knows how to avoid you , not to mention if he's got friends (seems like fists aren't knocking people out as easy anymore either ). But I do get where this is coming from , at the NE airfield I had a shotgun and shot two slugs down the entrance of the atc tower , I was at the bottom of the stairs and the melee weilding zig zagging wild man was at the door , he somehow dodged both shotgun blasts and proceeded to knock me unconcious lol , I think it's the rubberbanding, cuz it hasn't happened since and I've been shot down while zig zagging multiple times after that ...

Slugs? where did you find slugs?

Anyway actual speed is too high, people will zag out with weapons to avoid shoots, and lagg will help them out.

[RagedDrew 209]

So I updated to the latest experimental branch but every server I join I'm a new spawn is this a known issue, is it intended or what?

[DemonGroover 8836]

If you just started on exp, chances are you are a new spawn...however if you are a new spawn everytime you relog after playing then there could be a problem.

[RagedDrew 209]

 I've been playing the experimental build for a few days now and every time I relog I'm a new spawn.

[tiadashi 262]

I found a few that weren't detached earlier today  - often not always, when you start loading the server there will be a msg saying something to the effect that the server is not connected to the hive

Title edited.

I see no Rockets.

I have removed one of your misinformed posts already today...

 

I'm not going to argue over whether or not all the UK servers lost connection to the hive because it's fact.

Are you certain of that ?

I've been playing hardcore and my char seems to be carrying over between different servers, including UK 0-7 !

It did happen, at least hours ago. My group members sounded off a PSA at around 20:00 EST time. I didn't read it yet and I joined a UK server and I got the WARNING message. Backed out and I still had my character on another server. 

[Gugolas 228]

^

Same happened to me two days ago and yesterday. I can't remember the number, but in both occasions it was an UK server (regular), as already reported by others in the past days, if I remember correctly.

I just started avoiding the UK servers (in order to save time), so I can't provide further info.

[tiadashi 262]

Today I logged onto my regular exp character, just where i expected - logged off, back on, 99 secs i go get some coffee, come back screen says you are unconscious, you are dead 

 

So I figured someone caught me with my pants down, it happens (non zombie area) - respawn (not change servers), run around 15-20 mins and log off - come back a few hours later my original character is up (the one that died above) ~ Sweet!  

 

very interesting set of events -
