Experimental Branch: 0.51 Discussion

[doctorwhy 157]

I just killed 3 zombies in a row in polana and 2 in dolina on the way.

Zombies are there

Loot spawning bug is still happening.

"Oh how I hope someone responds to this post. I have 600+ hours mostly exp 1pp. Now with 51 the game is unplayable. Mouse delays are horrific (played with sensitivity). The ground at my feet will not draw in properly, I get a mesh/blue layer. The smoothness and FPS has crippled the playing experience. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Note: I am a player not a computer engineer so if you could "dumb it down" a bit that would be great."

Exactly the same with me. 600hours ingame. Did tweaking long ago. Now exp has 2-3 fps an stable is smooth as varm butter.

I really would apriciate a explanation or solution. But explain as for a child, so I understand. Thx

Odin , I might of spotted you yesterday on the bambi express near Cap Golova headed into Elektro. You were just ahead of me on the server list when the east 03 or what ever it was came online. Spotted another recent  spawn just up the road from me  lol I was going to stop along the way n say Hi in person thinking i might get to finally meet another forum body but alas they were headed for town and kept along the coast and i was headed north up into Pusta then on to Staroye. Glad to see your adventure went well ! :thumbsup:

After being eaten by stairs I logged back into the same server (which had been daytime moments prior) to find it was now nighttime.

 

Is it possible I died on server reset?!?

 

I found good starter gear pretty quickly, including a blaze and some rounds for it.

 

Still in over an hour, 0 zombies seen.

 

I'm curious to hear about the factors we are testing in this build....

Go to the first post on the 5th page of this thread. The author had the same problem as you but fixed it. The problem was the game started using the graphics card on the motherboard instead of the actual graphics processing unit (GPU, or the real graphics card)

Hope this helps

[Gubbjeveln 18]

I do not know how to dedicate a graphic card to a game. I did read his solution but it did mot make me more clever. :(

[Tatanko 5591]

It almost seems like the game is starting up under a different .exe file.

I didn't catch this until now, but you actually hit the nail on the head. It IS a different executable file. For Experimental, it is now dayz_experimental.exe. Eugen mentioned this somewhere but I can't for the life of me find where I saw it.

[Yano (DayZ) 102]

Something totally creepy about that run down military base as it is right ? ,,,,,, try going out there at night in the rain and find some ones campfire 3 stories underground  :huh:  lol i still got goosebumps !

If you also use a computer with two graphics processing units like me, and if the actual graphics card is a Nvidia, you can try following my steps.

 

Right click on desktop, and then go to:

1. nvidia control panel
2. Select manage 3d settings
3. Global Settings tab
4. switch the drop down from Auto to nvidia
5. Reboot your computer

Hope this helps:)

I have problems with extremely low frame rates from time to time, but that seems to be server specific. These "problem" servers give me low FPS, regardless of how many survivors are logged on. On these servers I am lucky to max out at a dozen FPS; on other servers I average in the mid thirties.

Spooky! I felt like I was chasing a white rabbit while playing last night. I spawned in around Solnichniy, and kept seeing glowing orange/yellow light in the distance like a campfire. I kept heading towards it along the coast, but every time I would get within ~100 yards of it, it would disappear only to reappear farther down the coast. Aliens confirmed? :p

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

^^^I saw a similar light when I spawned and after a little while I decided it was the moon....

 

Edit: how come this gallery of the prison complex didn't make the dev tracker?

Because it wasn't leaked by the devs but by someone mining the gamefiles.

Some weird stuff goin on with weapons in this one...

 

- I put a sickle in my bag after having it in my hands > I find a screw driver and open my bag to to swap the two > it's not there, but is instead at the top inventory section along with my Sledgehammer

- I drop a shotgun that was in my hands in a shed in order to climb a tower > when I come back down and go to pick it up, it's no longer there > Then I go over to car and find a mosin > I swap the mosin onto my back and take the the repeater that was on my back into my hands > I later go to drop the repeater so I can pick up an SKS, but can't > I then notice the shotgun is back in my inventory, listed below my backpack > I had to drop the shotty before i could drop the repeater > then the server went down before I could try taking the SKS in to hands so who know, it may of got even weirder

 

 

So ya, weird stuff with weapons

[odin_lowe 3686]

is that a broken church? i have 2 pics at the same place at night and im by the fireplace as well

Yes it is! I like that place a lot. B)

 

 

 

No problems so far on experimental. In about 5 hours of gameplay, had only 1 session lost, no crashes, no real FPS drops, pretty smooth experience.

 

I personally don't like cannibalism. Some say it had "realism" or "authenticity", but I'm pretty sure it's gonna cause some issues in some parts of the world. There's no reason to add it in my opinion. In a way, it's gonna make KoS of fresh spawn go up and become even more frequent, as players will skin them to make food. They used to be killed for fun by some, now a lot of players will have a reason to do so...

I had some weird stuff going on as well. At one point the game kept putting a second primary into my inventory on the right even though I wasn't actually carrying it. Kind of like how it's magically there when you log out with a second weapon in your hands and log back in. Very weird indeed.

Me too. I picked up the pump action shotgun as a secondary, and when I did that a lockpick and some other 1 slot item in my backpack disappeared. The server restarted and the shotgun was gone, but the lockpick and the other item in my backpack was back.

So can anyone confirm some of what's new?

 

were r d rocket lonchers nd helycoptirs omg devs u cnt evn mak games

 

Doesn't seem like much would be added with that size of a patch.

 

 

What are loot spawns like? That's the main thing I'm interested in.

[Tatanko 5591]

Doesn't seem like much would be added with that size of a patch.

This first build of 0.51 doesn't have much. Some new unused files (look for the leaked images on Reddit and DayZTV), a couple of new items, cannibalism, and a few under-the-hood changes and fixes. As with 0.50, we'll probably see more and more added each week with the release of a fresh build.

That isn't where I saw it originally, I don't think, but that is the first place I was able to find when I went looking :p

[slippery gypsy 107]

are you able to craft the leather ants shown earlier in the thread or is it only a in game file atm 

[ChainReactor 922]

Twitter. It's always twitter. Eugen tweeted it shortly after the update when he tried to help SepticFalcon with his stream. I was on that stream at that time.

So ya, weird stuff with weapons

I had something similar happen to me too. I dropped a mosin to put it on my back but it disappeared. Then several minutes later when I took out my axe to kill a zombie I noticed my mosin was on the ground....so ya, weird stuff with weapons or items in general.

[boneboys 7988]

Are you guys seeing the log-out timer ?

Yes.

No.

Which Server if not.

I always wait for server re-boot so have not witnessed.

Thanks.
