Experimental Branch: 0.47 Discussion

[Ninja_Meh 115]

no. sprinters are NOT in a crouched position when they start. the start position for sprinters is not analogous to the position you are in when you crouch with a rifle, the comparison makes no sense.

say what you like bro, its called a crouch start. just because sprinters do not hold the exact posture of someone holding a rifle in a firefight, the principle is the same, YOU CAN easily break into a sprint from a crouched position

Played experimental for 3-4 hours yesterday. Very smooth gameplay!

[cav_guy 62]

Is it me, or have bandages become rare? Since .47 started (~8 hours played) I've only found 2 of them. By contrast, I've found 5 morphine injectors. I've also only found completely empty med kits.

I probably wouldn't have noticed if melee movement hadn't changed. It's taken some time to re-learn how to fight zombies.

I thought that someone were emptying them for a joke or something.

Ever since update 0.45,046 and 0.47 I have had a dramatic decrease in performance in the game. This vid is in Zeleno (exp.hardcore, 0.47) where I used to have 20-30 fps, now it has become unplayable. Even in small villages and open fields I get half the performance I used to have. All my settings are the same as before (even reduced them some more) but it seems to be related to the very slow loading of textures.

 

In the beginning of the vid I hear a zombie but have to run around first to let the lag catch up before I can even consider fighting it. Then I try to enter the police station but have to wait a long time before the textures load as you can see. Then only moments later I meet another player, never heard him, never heard a shot and...YOU ARE DEAD...

 

Very frustrating, I can now only play the game if I don't meet hostile players because with this performance I don't stand a chance. I don't have the best system but like I said, it performed fine up until 0.44, I have no system issues nor internet problems so it must be DAYZ SA related. Who knows what's going on?

just took a quick look at the new "Deanskin" and what did  i see Hitler^^
stupid me....

[shinjuru 114]

The slowness of the tactical pose, especially with a melee weapon, is terrible!  Please change this!   I should be able to avoid zombies hitting me by strafing, but since this change, I move like molasses now.

Thought the same but they seem to be spawning with the stuff inside invisible. I only noticed because I tried to put rags in. I think relogging fixes it plus picking up, dropping, picking up again might.

Looks like you were killed by infamous teleport hacker with an axe :S

 

As for performence I'm affraid you'll have to consider turning everything off in Rendering, turning off shadows and clouds, turning off v sync and lowering textures to very low.

They are not empty. When you pick them up, then the content appears. Seems to be a new bug

As anyone been up north near the new industrial town and heard the loud explosions? I was playing early hours this morning and can say they that they where either chopper crashers or land mine because the whole screen was shacking, the one closest that I actually turned to look at was a massive smoke trail into the air, there was only about 2 other people on at the time.

 

Are these traps left by the army for zombies, they really go with a bang like when you do a petrol station. several soiled pants later I hit the sack.

 

I want the Devs to go outside and have a fight just so they can see just how little having a fight damages your clothing, getting sick of getting one hit by a Zed to have my kit ruined and anything in it...

 

Be seeing ya out there, please stay out of my sights or if your going to make out your friendly put your weapons away. cya later

But you see my killer holding a magnum.

Also: I know you man well but I did not ask advice about how to improve FPS because I know already. I am asking how it is possible that the game performs so much worse for me since the last updates when before I could play fine under most circumstances.

That sound before you died were like axe swing to me.

 

As for game performance is also mysterious to me. When I started playing months ago with patch .2 or .3 something everything was fine and game loaded in 1 second.

 

Then they started to tighten the security, .pbo, added respawning zeds, added destruction of items and I had to lower and lower my setting every patch to get decent FPS. I guess with even more zeds around in the future it will get even worse for my PC and I'll need an upgrade to play.

[frosti 2165]

Ok, it's night time, so I increased gamma and I spot a man running across the field near Lopatino.

 

I look at him through my PU scope and it's not a man, it's a Zed. Is he running at me? No, he is chasing a deer!

 

Maybe because now every Zed is chasing/hunting every cow/bunnyrabbit/deer they see, this makes those performance issues?

[audax 207]

so now servers are in 64 bit?

 

 

because i did not see any improvements ç_ç

Dean said you will NOT see immediate improvements and it will have no effect on client side FPS. 64-bit is a gateway for future optimizations.

Wait, are heli crashes sort of dynamic now then? ..you should have investigated man. Like really... :/ Because it was either the other 2 player blowing up the Gas Station or heli crashes now dont spawn in but rather dynamically crash after the server has started.. that would be very nice if they added that already 

 

In many of the mods the heli crashes would fly around for a while before auto crashing eventually.. which meant you could actually shoot it down if you saw it flying. Which made for some truly epic moments, especially against the armed helicopters that would fight back ;)

Thanks for that. I didn't think about that. Have some beans.

I don't know why Dean is working on things like "lighting" or "shaders" or somethign while noone is using the light anyway when they can just move gamma slider or server hop to server with day light.

 

He should work on real issues like guns dispression, damage of guns, item absorbing damage, wall glitching, zombies, stamina/fatigue system.

Sounds good in imagination but I saw AI controlled helis and NPC with guns in DayZ mod and it was horrible. Absolutly horrible.

That was more or less a sidenote.. Im not wanting armed heli's in dayz SA. Just dynamic crashes.

do the walkie talkies work in 0.47 ?

 

green slugs, tactical vest ... and now the walkie talkies ?

Well, just joined DayZ US Southwest 0-4 Experimental, which just recently restarted, i joined at 3:03PM, and had only two other players with *** (actual asterisks) as their clan tag.   Had all my my gear and weapons removed.  WTH?!   Immedaitely exited.  This is totally unacceptable!   Wasn't there new anti-hacking measures announced for this experimental release?
