[kozzy420 39]

Thanks for the update Rocket!!!!

I got into a server in 13 seconds!! haha awesome!

Also when i logged in I was at NW Airfield (where the worst of the graphics gltiches where) and they where still there!

What I had to do was change my graphics settings from very high to MEDIUM and then to high again. Now there is ZERO graphcis glitches at NW Airfeild!

Thanks Rocket!

[kozzy420 39]

I would like to confirm that I am still having graphical errors, but not as bad as before. Now bodies just emit the errors instead of just having the errors take over the entire screen.

On a side note, I found out what Rocket "Hid" inside the update, you sly bugger! Got picked up by a random guy in a car, drove to Cherno, and well most people should know what happens next...

I had same exact experience. Then I set my overall settings down to medium then back to high (from main menu) and then logged back in and all graphics glitches where gone! (i tried just changing graphics for texture and shadows but that did not help, I had to go to main menu and then change the overall setting and then back)

Spawned in with 7 murders and negative 77k humanity.

Running along the shoreline from kamyshovo towards msta and i lost about ~500 ish humanity (now 76.5k)

Humanity seems to get more positive by time, and i didnt not kill one zombie, bandage anyone or nothing.

Is it supposed to be like this?

[kuplion 3]

May I suggest that people experiencing the graphical artifacts also provide details of their graphics chipset, driver revision and Arma2 beta patch revision?

[harr0w 3]

oh for fucks sake.. do you just post every retarded thing that crosses your mind? being AGAINST thermal is EASY MODE? omfg, do you not get it? THERMAL = EASYMODE! there are still enough reasons to go to crashed helis. there are still enough reasons for newbs to find better gear.

i had l85s plenty of time, and im happy thermals are removed now (if its true), because they make the game EASY you dumbfuck.

it doesnt make it easy at all probably easy spotting your noob like ways. ive played arma for god knows how long and dayz for about three months the weapon didnt need changing and your a fuckwit if you think it did. your statement alone says you have never had the gun. bitterness never gets you anywhere little boy

Latest ARMA2 beta update

Latest DAYZ update (todays hotfix)

I tried 2 servers, had graphics glitches at NW airfield, I tried changing graphics settings in game and it did not help.

WHAT DID HELP = Leave server, from main menu change overall graphics settings to medium and then back to high

Now there is ZERO graphcis glitches at the barracks in NW airfield!

Graphical glitches are gone for me,only been to balota army camp ,airfield and cherno.

version 1.7.2.5

beta v 95819

Im not 100% but the zombie pathfinding seems to have been improved,they seem to run in straight lines and stand in front of you now, instead of teleporting round you.

ive seen a guy with a bandit mask on,but still cant equip my camo gear on my female character.

humanity in debug

yep everythin seems good so far

Still no Cars spawned on my new server after 5 days of playing.

I was hoping this patch would fix this.

Anyone else having this issue???

Rocket can you lock this thread... zzzZZZ

Scroll up, and then look at the pictures I uploaded. I played with 1.7.2.5 beta 1.62.95819 which is the latest, and server was also updated correctly. Logging in with Video Memory = Default is the only way I can get around the issue. This only works about 25% of the time now, too...

From what I recall, you actually WANT to be using default under video memory because with it set to default, it recognizes all of your video cards memory, where as low, medium, high and very high are preset numbers. If you have 1g or more, you should be on default.

What is your location while doing this 'test'?

If you're not near the sources of the problems, of course you wouldn't have issues.

Fact is, everyone I know that had the graphical problems before, still has them now. I'm doubting that you've tested rigorously enough.

Firstly, I'm not an idiot.

Secondly, I was complaing about the graphical bug in multiple posts in multiple threads. I was also DEFENDING people from the mororns that ran around saying "I have no issues you suck" or "Video memory to default and it will fix it". Those did not resolve the issues for me and many people and I addressed that.

Simple logic would come to the conclusion that this does not work for everyone. As iterated by the 100's of posts on this subject, so making a statement like that is useless and moronic. We all have read the plethora of ideas that abound on how to fix this problem. And we have all read the "I have no issues" responses. It's getting old. Our Clan has stopped playing until this, and the hacks are fixed, and as you can read (can you) many others are doing the same. If a fix does not come soon, it could very well hurt the population badly and rocket's chance for a true standalone. Especially when someone is working on releasing a similar game very soon (supposedly). Even if (the other game) does not come out... a lot of people will leave if things don;t get fixed.

It won;t be very fun playing on a server all by yourself now will it?

I've seen MANY games fail due to stuff like this. Add the hacking, and you have a recipe for disaster for this mod.

This + my comp stomps the requirements into the ground.

I can play Metro 2033, Skyrim, TSW, etc etc etc. on Ultra and this game tears all over the damn place.

And using FLUSH... good way to ruin your video card... keep doing it over and over see what happens.

My vieo has been at default since the first day I played, but I am now experiencing artifacts worse than ever aroud military bodies. It was so terrible I could nto see anything and could not even tell what direction to go to get away from the dead bodies. I died from zombies... because I could never find a clear direction to face.

My video memory is default and always has been. SO that is not a permanent fix.

Need I go on?

SO no I was not wandering around in the woods looking at trees.

I went to Green Mountain and NW Airfield. No issues at either place when both were unplayable for me previously.

Previous graphics for me. As you can see I had BAD artifacts.

Sorry, I'm not going to get new shots just for you.

I DID change my cfg file back to 300,000 from 100,000, which I set it to previously to try and fix the unfixable problem.

still artifacts at north airfield and airfield at balota....

[TrainwreckUS2114 4]

Anyone having an issue with no vehicles spawning on a new server?

I was hoping the update would fix.

Anyone else having this issue?

Thank you

[cayote 4]

Seems to me that axes look different? more bloody, the blade used to be bright red, seems more rust/brownish now.

It's not removed..

You do relize that some people might have the vehicles already saved up north?

[harr0w 3]

good. to break something because there whinning bastards like gobacktgo is stupid especially in a game thats built around one of the most realistic games around arma. 35,000 extra players most of migrated from cod and BF3 never a good thing.

[kozzy420 39]

still artifacts at north airfield and airfield at balota....

Did you try going to main Menu and changing your overall graphics settings? And then back to what you had it at before?

I had glitches still also at NW Airfield, then I went to main menu and did that with the graphics settings and now there is ZERO graphics glitches at NW airfield (tried it on 2 servers).

[puppetmaster11 229]

This mofo thread till we have an announcement

[HellSnake 26]

I'm liking the update so far. The graphical artifacts are gone for now.

A thing that I noticed is that zombies are much more of a menace now. I shot 2 or 3 zeds to test if the tracking of ammo was fixed, and I got swarmed by 4 or 5 more. I shot them with an AKM and I ended up in a building with 15 or so zombies coming at me from each side. Awesome. Then went into the Stary Sobor military tents with a friend and got swarmed again, then we got killed by someone. We were testing, jerk! :P

We respawned and were swarmed again two or three times. It was actually fun and challenging to get near loot sites, as you can't.shoot your way through zeds anymore. I think that they can see you and hear your footsteps from the same distance as 1.7.2.4, but gunshot hearing is seriously buffed. I love it.

Can't comment on ammo tracking because I got killed before I disconnected, and we forgot to test it after that.

[TrainwreckUS2114 4]

This is not the case. I have looked everywhere for the last 5 days.

No boats, cars, bikes. New member ID and server so should not be stuff hidden.. But. I looked there too.

trust me you can rule out that fact that cars are on the server.

[kozzy420 39]

If you are still having issues GO TO MAIN MENU AND CHANGE OVERALL GRAPHICS SETTINGS (High, low, medium,etc..).

Change it to something new and then back to what you had before. This for me worked.

I have checked all of NW Airfield and just now Stary. Those are the two worst places for graphics glitches for me over the last few weeks and after doign what I said above and today's update I have ZERO graphics issues.

The first time I logged in though after getting todays patch, I did see the same old graphics glitches, just had to change my graphics settings at main menu and they are now gone! Try this is you are still having issues!
