DayZ: Arma 2 Zombie Apocalypse Mod

[moustachebandit]

Is anyone playing this on a imac running bootcamp? Is 2.7GHZ, soon to be 20GB ram and a i5 going to be enough to run this?

[Muska]

So you can get into1.7.2 servers now then? I'll be on tonight if so.

Is uk 25 locked?

Quick question about the graphics, does the game auto detect what your machine can handle to a degree? The people & object/landscape detail on mine is quite basic, even though Im running what I'd consider a reasonable spec.

Edit to add:

My spec is 27" iMac i7 2.8ghz
16gb ram
512mb 4850 (or whatever that graphics card is called)

It runs at a fine speed on mine in arma but the graphics are not nearly as good as I'd like. I'm also using boot camp. Give yourself over 50gb of space on that partition as I've very early used all my space on the windows side.

If you can get in you spawn in the middle of nowhere with out any of your gear. Dayz website is down and I think no one can play at the moment. I think they broke it

[Asterix]

Wonder if it was another attack.

[Muska]

On twitter rocket said there is a hot fix coming later today.

He also said last night on the dayz forum that it's because of measures in the new patch to highlight/stop cheaters. But who knows.

Hoping to play later so fingers crossed it's squared away by then!

was a ballache waiting on the char screen with people talking bks and playing god awful sounds over comms

[KemP]

Its back up. Zombies can now see you from miles away

[Muska]

Just managed to get my first game. Lasted all of 5mins. Aggro'd loads of. Imbues from miles away with no gun! Found a lee Enfield while running in a supermarket and ran it out of ammo the. It was all over!

Hope they tweak the zombie distance.

I have some kit now for a change and dont want to spawn until i know the Z sight thing has been fixed. I dont want to die again ;(

[luke111s]

New patch is pretty buggy; I've ended up in debug plains and died to a couple of glitches.

On the plus side I am expecting to die all the time now so it isn't such a big deal when it happens

[Muska]

1.7.2.2 is being released today

If anyone fancies working co op for a while to help me gather a few items to survive then I'd be most grateful!

[XslaneyX]

could do with helping out if needed. i joined a ts last night with some randoms who invited me from jacobs ts channel but not much progress was made and it didn't help that most of the servers we joined were slightly unstable or cutting out.

Currently have the big coyote pack and an m16a2 with some decent supplies so can lend a hand. Will try and hop on later if i have time when my little boy has been put to bed

[luke111s]

Happy to help too, I'll be around on the weekend likely on UK 119 unless UK 25 is working again. I'm way up north at the moment but I'm sure I'll end up dead and back in Cherno soon

Just started playing this after watching loads of videos on Youtube. It's an amazing concept and some of the action in the videos is really so intense. Doing ok but I'm currently raging because I managed to lose my AK due to that strange thing where you can make it disappear putting it in your backpack Least I didn't die straight away and knew to head for the woods after I got some stuff. Videos helped a good deal but it's pretty tricky!

Not found anyone playing it yet, nor have I had to shoot anything, just killed 10 or so with a hatchet. Would be pretty good to be able to team up with anyone on here if it were possible, playing Minecraft online with everyone from here was good fun.... will change my name to match what it is on here just now at least.

Zombies definitely seem trickier in this latest patch, I've had them aggro from miles away when I thought I was being quite stealthy. Running into a building and dropping them when they come through the door still works ok though.

[RichyBoy]

Been watching the youtube clips of this for ages, seems like a right laugh.

[oj121]

I really want to try this but dont want to buy it if im going to struggle to run it. Anyone care to tell me at what level id be able to run it at??

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz
4.00 GB RAM
ATI HD4350 512 MB Graphics Card

Sorry if this is very very basic.

[Muska]

Your spec is not a million miles away from mine. I run things just below my native resolution at medium-high to keep a nice high frame rate at all times. I think my draw distance is about 1600.

It's perfectly playable like this.


I've never known a game quite like this for immersion. After spawning and helping a new player when I found a tent (gave him blood) found a barn with a CZ in it. Roamed through the woods for about 20mins then spotted a player close by. Sniped him and he had a map and a few other goodies. Headed north to Stary Sobor, looted it and headed to NW airfield. Killed two players and had just about everything I could need for quite some time. Got greedy and headed back to the airfield and got sniped.

Found a working tractor yesterday. Died crashing it into a tree! A boat at the shore too.

I am now going a build a pc so I can run this how it's meant to be played.

I think I may just pick it up then. Perhaps we could have a PH password to allow coop without fear?!?!
