Available on DayZ commander too. It's pretty huge and has a lot of custom stuff. Some of us are playing in the GAF mumble in DayZ(Ghost town).

*Shakes head*

This is just the Pax thing. Nothing new here. How dare you lie. For shame.

Edit: I guess there is some new stuff at about 56mins in. At the after panel thing. So skip forward if you saw the original pax video

I just saw it posted on RPS today. The information from after the PAX panel is new to me since I didn't stay around after the panel.
 
When do you guys think this game will actually release? I was hoping it would be soon but Rocket went off to climb Everest for 2 months lol. I know the team will work on it but it still won't release until he's back to check the progress

Reminds me of the far cry 2 map lol, I assume boats are useful here, I would love it if C+ had this style/changes, more opportunity for swamp areas too.

I keep hearing around October for public full release, June for "early" build or this is when the streamers get the game...

Still some time away sadly.

I can see this becoming a popular bandit hideout. Looks awesome!

I was hoping for a beta in the summer, but that seems more and more unlikely. I am expecting to be able to play it in the fall.

I still find it a bit silly that the SA isnt on the ARMA 3 engine could you imagine that fog in DayZ holy crap.

They'll probably just lift it straight from ArmA 3. The volumetric clouds are from Take on Helicopters, DayZ and ArmA 3 both implemented that.

how would I go about getting Breaking Point? the main sites down completely, as though the domain expired, any help?

Weird that the installer still works although both websites are down. Anyway, I uploaded it to mediafire.
Feel free to scan it =)

Honestly it seems for the best. We would have to wait till full release of A3 and with all the hacking and lack of any real dedicated servers it wouldnt be helping DayZ in the mainstream. Plus this will gives us something to play while we wait for release of A3 when someone ports it over/Designs it for the new map(I forget what the main island is going to be called)

Is anyone playing dayz tonight? im really in the mood to play and the Mumble has been dead lately

A few of us are hanging out in the mumble right now. But it seems that the Origins server we play on has gone MIA. Sooo we are waiting to see what happens with that maybe play some Ovaron or Breaking Point.

I've been thinking of getting back into DayZ at this point, since the standalone is a ways off still. What's the easiest way to do so?
I played the mod a while back and manually managed my mod files and had to deal with the Arma 2 beta patches. Is there a streamlined way to go about this?

DayZ Commander will automatically do that for you.

I think I need to start playing this again.

Yeah I was gonna wait till standalone to reinstall but this is looking great.

I have really fond memories of traveling with my friends and getting chuckles at finding enfields with like 80 rounds next to corpse, because you would know exactly what happened.

I really can't wait for the Standalone release. One thing I'm tired of is fucking around with manual updates, DayZ commander, etc.

I think I need to start playing this again.

Yeah, I've been wanting to. I'm just worried about hackers, and the inevitable dissappointment...

......I have a whole week of nights free this week. My old character is still alive, with far too many weapons. It might be time to end his life, begin anew, and traipse about Chanarus.

You mean the long sprint through Chenarus with a string of 30 zombies behind you, only armed with a scopeless bolt-action rifle?
 
Controversy over Zoombie in the DayZ forums. Apparently, the head of Zoombie was working with one of the teams (BI or DayZ???) to get an "official" port of DayZ to Arma 3--project was codenamed "Zoombie". This guy, though, didn't feel like waiting for everyone, including a BI staff member, to get official permission to continue, so he released it himself? Talk of copyright infringement, etc. now.

It's a mess--don't know the straight story.

I just really hope work continues, in one way or another.

They have forum, from the news topic it seems that next update will be released tomorrow.

Any tips on how to get this running better on a shit computer? 15 frames at lowest settings is deplorable but I make it work (although it's turned me into a camper to end all campers). Wondering if there's any ini tweaks or anything like that that I could utilize (that would actually make a difference) - I had grass removed for a while (strictly for performance) but re-added it once my favorite servers started screening client-side data for shit like that.

Also, which maps have the best performance? I mostly play on Panthera because it's less of a computer killer than my other favorite maps (Taviana and Chernaurus)

Play Utes.

I can get close to 100fps on that map

Also try DayZero - it's a mod of dayz with messes with the code and make sit much more smooth and stable

whats the best way to get back into DayZ if I have not played it for 6 months and really do not know anything right now?


the OT-post feels outdated
Is there a post or page for us oldtimers (or newbies) returning in how to run dayz, plugins, extra islands, arma 3 etc without having to look through 1000 posts?
I want to try out all the islands as well as try it in Arma 3 alpha


and the most important question, can I play DayZ without cheaters ruining the game?
This is the reason I stopped playing DayZ in the first place

Arma 3 based DayZ. Its still broken, but at least You wont have hackers jumping around :) Anyone with Arma 3 should check it out, it'll show You how different DayZ was when it wasnt hugely popular, different game and i actually think that much better too.

In a week they should fix inventory saving problem, so i would recommend to wait a week.

I am mainly looking forward to the standalone release, as this is very confusing with so many versions, mods for the mods and whatnot.

Hey, I just recently bought Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead and I've been having an issue when trying to connect to servers. When I try to do so it says "Bad version, server rejected connection". From what I understand this has something to do with having outdated versions of Arma or Dayz, but as far as I know I'm up to date. DayZ Commander says Arma 2 is up to date and so is DayZ. Anyone have an idea what might be the issue?

Also, if anyone wants to play some DayZ with me, my Steam ID is Overdoz1z.

You launched both Arma 2 and OA before trying DayZ, right?
 
WANT!

LoD is so much better, game feels more fluid and omfg the lighting :) This needs own thread i think.

As long as DayZ is chained to the janky as hell ArmA engine and interface, I really can't get that excited about DayZ standalone.

That being said, I started back into my DayZ addiction about a week ago playing on an Origins server started by a few buddies. House building is a bit weird, and the overabundance of vehicles and weapons is a little bit of a let down, but the hero system is a nice endgame goal, and I'm having just as much fun as I remember with vanilla about a year ago. Sector B runs are always a kick, and we had a chase and shootout in Bilgrad after two Russians raided our camp and then blew up the stolen vehicles after they got caught. I really missed DayZ's emergent gameplay.

I'm not sure. If I didn't what should I do? Uninstall DayZ, then play both, then reinstall it?

Yeah. Steam has to install the direct x distros and configure a few things in the game directory before the install is actually complete, and that only happens when you run both the base game and its expansion at least once. The mod relies on a few of these files in order to work, so you've gotta do that before you install DayZ, even through commander. Delete all your local files via steam and clean up anything remaining in the ArmA 2 folders manually, then redownload and try again.
