how?

For me, in my documents directory is a dayz directory and in there is a file called DayZ.cfg. Delete.. Then start Dayz and should be ok after that.

On another note - does anyone find their weapons to jam more often than before? My PM RAK is a nightmare, have not been able to fire of more than 4 shots before a jam.  

I picked up a stack of loose .22 ammo yesterday and it was labeled as pristine. I was splitting it up and one of the stacks showed as a worn condition.  I decided to take a closer look and split it all down to single rounds. Out of 37 bullets, 8 were in worn condition and the rest pristine. If I had recorded it I would have submitted it as a bug but I didnt think about it until it was done.  I will try it with other ammo later tonight when I get logged in.

 So to recap: A pristine stack of bullets may not all be pristine.

Picture probably fake, there can't be 0/60 players, even on server restart. :D

Same here, one guy said don't shoot me then axed me to death for NOT shooting him.  Another guy refused to speak so I shot him, never trust a guy that won't speak when spoken to.  A few pot shots have been taken at me.  Other than that I haven't seen hide nor hair of anyone.

 

A good example of why there should be an unchangeable name over everyones head. Look out it's Billythekid!

I got some really nice quality time with 0.60, a little over an hour and here are some things:

- My quality time ended after I made the silly mistake of throwing a torch and getting my hands slot frozen. (I should have anticipated that)
- Map changes and updates are lovely and wonderful. I even found some entirely new structures at a WIP location that I'll not give away for spoilers.
- Water is looking really nice!
- I have a small amount of graphical glitching with trees during the day (I don't really notice it at night).
- Love day/night cycle time, feels just about right for "standard".
- Not noticing any animals except for chickens.
- FPS is lovely and despite all these servers being full doing anything like crafting has virtually no delay.

Oh... and can one make improvised rope anymore? Or have I just forgotten how to do it?

Yep, 2 stacks of 6 rags and you could craft an improvised rope.

What's the game doing? What error(s) are you having? What are your system specs?

If you've played more than 2 hours, you're SOL!

Not trying to go off topic I think this is relevant because of the packed servers in .60, is there anyway to test your mic in game. I ran over my headset cord with my chair too may times so now I have a webcam plugged in, it is defiantly working in my recording software but no idea if it works in game. Usually I'd stage my kids character to use as a mule and do a mic check but I don't see being able to get two clients on the same server atm.    

 

*edit* defiantly, lol I'just underline it instead of fixing it because my webcam is a trooper.

Just the obvious walk up to another player test :-)  I've tried pissing off zombies, sneaking up to them and getting within 10 feet and then opening the mic and yelling at them to no avail.

Climbing a ladder might have cleared that...it did a few patches ago. Rope was a few rags tied together.

Anyone else experiencing huge FPS drop when on 100% rendering resolution? Before this last hotfix, my resolution was stuck on 200% and I had 70 FPS. Now I have 30 FPS on 100%. Fuck the logic.

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

I got into a server with Dudester, GaryWalnuts, and IMT, almost as soon as the update finished.

Mostly our session was uninterrupted.

I found myself in Myshkino tent city and Gary met me there. After looting for a while, Gary caught sight of a random player so we ran into the woods. We tried to get eyes on the player from a hill but did not. He then shot Gary from an unseen position. I heard shots bounce nearby, and we both took off running in different directions.

After going South for sometime I found myself at Kamenka.

It was about this time that IMT and Dudester got ambushed near the new shooting range. IMT's client seemed to crash (but he thought he died) when he got shot, and Dudester got shot and killed but managed to hit the guy. When he respawned he found himself near Cherno so I worked my way East to meet him there. IMT rejoined the game right where he was shot but wasnt bleeding. He then caught sight of the guy who had shot him and landed a shot which either killed him or crashed his opponents client.

Gary returned from a break just in time to meet IMT, and I escorted Dudester up towards them as I needed to log out soon. As we neared Green Mountain Dudester spotted a player so we watched and it turned out to be 2 players, running away from us. Clearing that town to the North around Green Mountain Gary exclaimed that he saw a smoking heli crash and in a matter of minutes after that all 4 of us were picking over the crash which had 4 FAL's, a UMP, a few CMAG's, and a few pieces of clothing.

Here is where I needed to log out, hopefully I'll jump on again later.

Just found out fishing poles are in. Thanks to DayZTv!

Seven beer and about that many hours I got in for on five minute and one one minute session last night.

I aint even salty though, it was a glorious 30+ fps 6 minutes on my 10 year old computer and the one guy I saw and avoided moved so smooth it was better than my first encounter ever playing.

I was really expecting this to look better but play like shit on my old box, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Has anyone complaining considered there's some validity to testing the servers against getting hammered by people trying to join? I used to only play on low pop servers but last week junior and I played quite a bit on half full ones now that our ping isn't as shit and it was a whole different game, probably the real DayZ experience the devs are shooting for. I kind of have a feeling they're laying the ground work to force us into packed servers so we can't spoil the experience by running around with our vicinity window open while hitting p every 30 seconds to make sure we're alone to loot in peace. 

I blew the dust off of my Phenom II X6 this morning. When things calm down a bit, I want to see what the delta FPS looks like ... for science.

[Girth Brooks 558]

Not gonna bother trying to get in anymore, ya'll have fun. Gonna wait a few weeks for the new to wear off. Look forward to testing with the regulars and less posts from the lurkers/newguys/whiners/etc that have been showing up in droves.

I just picked up a new cheap mic the other day so I ran up to a fresh spawn and asked if he could hear me. He replied "kill me". I said "hang on a second and I will. I just added a new mic and I need to know how well you can hear me". He said "I can hear you perfectly now KILL ME". So I did.

 If your mic is a 3.5mm jack don't forget to go into your windows control panel and adjust the volume leveling. Default is to low for others to hear. If your mic is USB you should have some kind of software to make adjustments. I don't believe there's any in-game mic test feature. Maybe open windows sound recorder and test it there.

There are also mic level testing and adjusting tools inside of the Steam client.

[LordBlackwolf 656]

Also found this on DayZTv. Here is a quick way of getting into servers so hopefully it works for everyone!

Well...

Somebody with better hearing please explain ( like for the retarded people) what is he saying because for the life of me i don't get it...

Apparently if you click enough times you will stop getting popup notifications "connecting failed" and "maximum number of players reached" and after that wait 2 minutes because it means you're getting into the server.

[mugur 123]

but on my second click it tries to connect...

every time :(

[LordBlackwolf 656]

Yeah, it will keep doing that but then eventually you won't get any notifications and that's when you know it worked. It's happened to be several times but I thought something was wrong so I always ended up restarting my client. If I had found this sooner I would've been able to play more times than I already have.

[mugur 123]

well... i'm in.

OMG!!! They put in my suggestion about a shooting range!!! Seriously awesome! Where Where Where???

They're at the new military base that's due west of the NW town of Tisy.

I've got some not great video of that area, including the range, uploaded to Youtube. It's not great because Shadowplay seems to have some issues with 0.60 and as it started getting dark the captured video looked black even though it didn't look that way in game. So I ended up trying to bring the color back in via my video editing software which helped but the colors start getting weird as the sun set.

Here's a Link for those who are curious, like I said it's not ready for prime-time but whatever.

Found a new bug I'd say. When throwing a motorcycle helmet your character goes into the unconscious pose. He lays down flat on the ground and you won't be able to move as if you were unconscious. 

This is not a new bug.   It haqppened on .59 when you would try to throw a canteen after emptying it out.  hit F3 to start the sitting animation and regain control of your character.

Two full stacks of rags combine to make rope.  You cannot do this with one stack on the ground, unless the other stack is in your hands.  It should work fine.  I suspect you tried to drag one stack from vicinity onto the stack in your inventory; this will no longer work.
