666zarike 0 Posted July 23, 2012 Hello, I´m new to Day Z and want to ask some questions.The first is, when you log of, do your character die from starvation or dehydration?The other question is, is the voice chat broken, or am I doing it wrong? I can´t hear anyone doing it, and no one can hear me.Thank you for your time.Love this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sith_squirrel 3 Posted July 23, 2012 first question is nosecond question imnot too familiar with but i do belive that you need to be in proximity to other players using direct comunication Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drogur (DayZ) 169 Posted July 23, 2012 Use direct chat to communicate...use , or . to change to that channel.....only ppl inside radius like 40m hear you...and if you text i think the radius is 80m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sincerely 5 Posted July 23, 2012 Your character may get a little bit more hungry or thirsty while your offline for a long time, so make sure that u got food and water when u get back. And i don't think ur voice chat is broken, try changing the channel with you "," key. And use direct communication, also the person u want to talk to needs to be atleast 40m within ur range.

clever 12 Posted July 23, 2012 Characters do not get hungry or thirsty when you're logged out, it used to be that way but people didn't like it so it was removed (Hell, you even could die of thirst or hunger while logged out before.)Direct Chat works, I don't really think people use it often though. It might just be that you haven't met anyone who uses direct chat, and they just ignore you when you do say something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But maybe you had grup channel or something on, always see that u have direct communication on. Or maybe there may be something with the settings in game, or the mic? I hope i've been to any help.

Good Luck Mate!I know we had direct channel on, but we´ll try again.Our mics are working because we are using skype at the same time, we just want to be able to talk to other people in the game.I´ll check my mic options ingame, but I have´nt touched any settings.Thank you for your help Edited July 23, 2012 by 666zarike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
