DayZ Zombie Mod for Arma 2

I like the ATOC vegetation but it feels like a disadvantage vs people who have it disabled. It's a lot more lush and thick, making it harder to spot things.

THIS SAID SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

As much as I'd like to see IE1 updated also I'd now like to see it not updated for as long as possible just to annoy deadeye who has now posted 4 times about it. Surely that's spam?

Irrelevant mission file dictates your view distance and grass level. Havent opened it yet but reckon its 1000m and full grass. Your client visual settings can be set by the mission maker and in Dayz they are.

I'm talking about one of the new features added to the video settings in the latest non beta patch. Alpha To Coverage (ATOC).

The client can switch this on and off. It makes the vegetation a bit more bulky and less see-through at the edges.

Yeh but Villain and vti have lives too. It's also Saturday night.

I would update it but Villain's email address is the one tied to the server, thus I dont get the build updates from the dev admins.

Found a motor bike. I was driving all across the northern half of the map looking in open fields for downed choppers. Seems like things don't spwan if you travel too fast. E.g. I drove straight to the door of a super market. No zombies had spawned in the town and no loot spawned in the super market. No even empty cans.

Later I came across a guy in a white pickup, he tried to ram me several times, I drove into the woods where he'd have to slow down, got off my bike and blew the truck up with my M14 AIM.

Having a vehicle can be a curse. Everyone wants to kill you when they see / hear you. In the space of 10 mins different three groups were taking pot shots at me in different locations.

yeah but the server will dictate your setting, personally i think Dayz is set to a poor viewdistance but i have been playing the game for 3 years so have made my pc suit it I want 10,000 viewdistance :pac:

But this doesn't happen on all servers. Some servers loot will respawn quickly and frequently even changing below your feet at times. Other servers loot doesn't seem to spawn in no matter how slowly you get there. I've tried waiting for zeds to appear first before looking for loot. It just seems that some servers are better than others when it comes to loot.

Does anyone know why this is? Has it something to do with where the server is located, slower speeds than other locations maybe?

Fairly sure its down to you, usually a 2 minute wait for **** to spawn for me when i drive into a town. if i walk its there when i get there.

For that you would probably need a gt 680 graphics card, the you tube vids look pretty damn good, don't think I could warrant €1000 for that alone.

6870 gets me 10k viewdistance with PP off and octoblur addon running.

PLEASE turn off Rain! It's out of control. It's worse than Ireland.

What I'm saying is that currently the client can change this setting, even when online with dayz. So it looks nice, but when others could have it disabled, it's a disadvantage if you have it enabled.

But you cant change this setting, the mission file dictates this setting for you.


To see the difference turn off Dayz and go into the editor, everyone sees mostly the same when playing dayz. Only detail is client side.

Thats not your GPU thats the CPU/server struggling with whats going on.

You know in Domi you use the middle mouse options to set your GPU levels....ie mission file related

it doesnt take your client side options it dismisses them and uses the missions, turn off grass in Domi due to the CPU load.

Eggy Baby!

Operation Arrowhead is downloading right now- just bought it off the BI store for 15 euro- and its only a 30 minute download!

Are there any Boards.ie servers online?

So who's hoarding the vehicles?

Couple of us spent a good bit over the last two days trying to find em. Off the map somewhere i'd say or very well hidden

meshey

For the guys talking about getting 10k view distance, It's not down to your graphics that much, it's more down to your hard drive strangely enough. I have an i7 2600k with 16gb ram and a Radeon HD6950. I can get around 5-6k at a nice framerate, around 35-40. But when I upped it to 10k I'd get 2-3fps.

I moved the game to my SSD and now I can run 10k with 40fps everything on high, 1920x1080, I don't use AA (i turn that off because of the awful dithering ****e on the grass/trees). But it runs fine with it turned on

Shouldn't be a problem with the next update as people who DC out of bounds are TP'd to the shore which is great!!
