strangere 9 Posted August 13, 2012 I'm just going to throw some Q&A here. Definitely read all the answers on Reddit link in first post.v4nd4rCan we expect improved performance for the standalone-game or should people with weaker computers who can barely play the mod start spending money on their pcs?Rocketperformance will be much better.Quantum_ForceShotsWhat is your best estimate for the standalone release date?RocketBefore the end of the working year (2012)kondo_sanWill the Stand-alone version run on the ARMA 2 or ARMA 3 engine?RocketIt will run on its own branch of Real Virtualitypotpie2004If he hasn't answered it yet, I would like to know if the Dayz mod will continue to be updated after the new standalone is released or in the process of beta.RocketYes, the mod will be much more open than it is now - allowing more projects like Lingor and more freedom for server administrators. The game development will draw ideas off this pool and develop a more standardized experience.c6030315This may sound a tad rude, but many people agree: ARMA II was poorly optimized which causes many of us to get poor FPS. Has this been addressed in the new engine for the standalone?RocketI wouldn't agree ArmA2 is poorly optimized. But yes, it is not optimized for the purposes of something like DayZ, and that is easy enough to address as a standalone.will1993How many players do you aim to have supported per server when the game reaches standalone, also will chernarus be discontinued for a new map?RocketChernarus Plus will come with DayZ standalone. 100-200 players is easily achievable.CleanWestwoodI'd like to know if he has any plans for the hacks that's corrupting the game, or does he not care because its just an alphaRocketIt is something that we can deal with in the standalone. You'll never stop hacking completely, but we just keep vigilant with it and don't ignore it.HecubahDo we have to pay for the standalone if we paid for ArmA II and Combined Operations? Not that its a problem, DayZ is awesome!RocketYes, you will. But it will be very cheap !TheyCallMeTheFlowerHow much of the profits did YOU receive through DayZ rising so high in popularity. Did BiS pay you? I'm sure they hired you now though.RocketI do not receive profits from ArmA2. But I am employed at Bohemia and I love it here.Did you also think of trading items or NPC Survivors?deadtimeeDid you also think of trading items or NPC Survivors?RocketNo NPC survivors.adrianadrianAny plans to make more buildings accessible in the near future?RocketYes. On initial release of the standalone. Confirmed and already in the current standalone build.gee85Will hand combat be introduced?RocketYes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
