That cpu is your bottleneck. While easy on your graphics card, dayz is extremely cpu dependant. They might get around to optimizing it a bit better for those in your position, but dont hold your breath. I suspect its not very high on their todo list right now.

^ the animations are awfully awful, sometimes it takes 10s to just switch weapons because pressing shortcuts does nothing, then when it finally works and your character appears to take the rifle out he actually has nothing in hands.. sometimes you die because your character decides that standing up is actually rolling on the side, or going down a ladder is actually jumping off the roof.. They really need to fix it, but I guess it's part of the terrible servers and server interface or whatever.. I managed to kill two guys while I only had an axe and one of them had a mosin, just because he never managed to take out his mosin and his friend couldn't hit me with his axe >.<
About KoS, I think KoS is ok, because when you play with a friend and have full gear you don't want to risk losing it, and hunting people is fun as zombies suck as of now. Also having a guy calling friendly to kill you when you turn your back is terrible, and some people actually do that, but what sucks is that very few people actually communicate in other scenarios.
When I play alone or when we encouter ungeared people I like to try and interact, but most of the time they just stay silent and run :<
I don't see many people complaining about the m4; aside from being prone with bipod, it seems really bad except for QCQ. Did I miss something or does it spray like shit for everyone even if you shoot bullet per bullet?
Edit : Oh, and to the guy asking about performance, I found that antialiasing and post processing are the settings that improve FPS the most; on top of that, setting post processing off allows you to see MUCH better in the distance, but the game is visually way less nice than with ambient occlusion and post processing (you need at least medium post processing to enable ambient occlusion I think)

Is there ever a plan to fix animations so things look in sync?
It looks better now then in old DayZ but it is still not good enough.
No idea. Most likely.

Also zombies need to be more dangerous so to promote players working together.
Agreed. They are working on this. Firstly by increasing the amount of zombies dramatically, which is suppose to happen any day now, along with dynamic spawning. I'm guessing still a month away.

Also the game needs clans and being able to have clan markings so people don't shoot clan members on sight.
With clans players can form raider groups or police groups or anything.
This one I don't agree with. A lot of the tension right now is the inability to distinguish and know exactly where your teammates are(I have both shot my teammates and been shot due to misscommunication. Hint: Get a team uniform. Hintx2: Don't have your team uniform be a helmet and gasmask, thats what every mook is running around with right now).
Sure having "friendlies" be marked with an arrow makes sense game wise, but not for the realism factor. I really like for the "shit, are you friendly?!" factor to stay in this game, and its simply too easy to shoot anyone without a green arrow over their heads otherwise.
Here's what I think they could do though. There's already walkie talkies in this game, although very rare. It would be really cool if those could be used to communicate with your "clan" on some kind of isolated frequency. Sure most groups use ts or skype for this game anyways.
But I can't be bothered to join the TL group for instance. But I absolutely would tune into "TL 114.7" on my walkie talkie if that was possible.

The switching weapons thing have like infinite bugs right now. First off sometimes you have to press the button 6-7 times or hold down for a long time for anything to even happen. Sometimes he equips it, and then immediately unequips it again, even if you pressed it just once. Sometimes your chara just gets stuck and starts spinning the camera around (this can happen while doing nothing as well). And sometimes your chara refuses to pull out anything without going down to a prone first.
And yes, the ladder thing. NEVER touch ladders! I've died too many times on that shit . Sometimes even from ladders I could jump off without taking damage, but suddenly just outright die because I pressed "f" on it and my guy decides to vault over it and onto, apparently, his face instead.
M4 is confirmed bugged. The bullet has apparently a random chance of going absolutely anywhere.

Yeah, i finally got shot  Tried the airfield again, saw a guy running into the hangar tower, thought what i would do, as i was in the completely open field. Got up and run for cover behind the prison a bit too late, he came up the stairs and seeing me right in that second. Then i shit my pants. Waited behind the building for ages, hoping he would not have seen me or would be equally terrified. After some time, i tried to run away over the field. He must have waited for me to come out, cause i was dead about a second after i left the cover of the building. Dang
So, now i tried to get a new character, but the system doesn't show any servers anymore. What is wrong with this game?

Seems like someone wrote a beginner's guide there : http://www.joystiq.com/2014/01/20/stiq-tips-dayz/
May be useful given the number of people asking for basic advice
Also stumbled on a group of 8 players laying down on the floor in the forest doing nothing after having shot at trees for a while... Wondered if demonic summon or nature lover ritual, killed 7 of them in doubt before the last combat logged to get us later.. was pretty fun

Maybe it was just a group of stranded survivors who had banded together, and was shooting at trees to practice for the zombies? You just murdered the walking dead crew!

I love this game when you start grouping up btw. A group of us split up to search a town just now. This pretty much ran through our skype the entire time: "Oh, thats you. Scared me for a second there. Wait, thats not you?!" "yeye, thats me" "oh, ok..I see someone! Dance! Oh, ok thats you then." "yepp. Going to the other town to search there..Holy shit there's someone here! Is that one of you?!" "no" "no.." "Oh fuck! I'm gonna shoot him! I'm going to fucking shoot him!" "WAIT, thats IS me! don't shoot ffs!" etc etc.
We're not the most coordinated bunch..

Forgot to say they shot at my friend sometime before and missed him from like 50m while they were 5 or more, I guess that's why they were shooting at trees, they needed serious practice haha
^ and yeah, eventually you're gonna kill each other and laugh or cry a lot :D

LMAO yes.
this is one of the greatest parts of DayZ to be honest... i cant even count the number of times TL'ers would kill eachother while on TS only to realize "o fuck that was u" and to be in a firefight with 10+ people with every1 going "shit shit shit who is who where is every1 fuck"
lmao.

This is a video by Dslyecxi, who has one of the bigger ARMA communities around. He makes a lot of videos. This is one of them. Dslyecxi is also *not* Body_shield, who is already e-spamous.
It's a good showcase of not *everybody* in DayZ being a bad person.

I spawned in the middle of nowhere. I think southeast on the map.
Every time I try to run south or northwest the game always teleport bugs me back to my starting point. Happens to me every single time I tried to play for the past weeks.
Its literally impossible for me to play this game at this point. Is anyone else having this problem?

Hmm, never had or heard of anyone who have it. I get teleported back a couple of times, but usually only 50-100 meters max

Either just stopping and waiting for awhile or reconnecting after running for a bit might fix the problem temporarily until you have to do it again.

Do your running on low populated servers. High pop servers will just teleport you back to where you started if you sprint for too long. The more people, the earlier you usually get teleported. High pop servers lagg like fuck as of now, despite working one year on their server program it still seems awful.

With the new patch out I think I'm going to not play for a couple days and see if they fix the problems that has come with it. Wiping our characters along with the implementation of the patch, I think, screwed some things up and thats where some problems lie in. First problem is that you spawn as a fresh spawn and if you play for awhile and get some loot and such and then try and change servers then the character you had on the previous server didn't save/transfer over to other servers. Second problem is basically the samething but reversed as in you spawn in as a fresh spawn and such then you change servers then BAM, magic happens and a character that you had previously that DIED like maybe a few days ago or over a week ago magically revives and everything you had on that dead character, you now have again.
Spray painting a mosin can cause a problem where it only loads in 1 bullet instead of 5.
From the time I played of the new patch it was okay. I found some spray paint and a mosin and painted it black and then green just to try it. I found the double-barreled shotgun but never found a saw to saw it in half for it to be a sawed off shotgun.
My advise is to wait awhile until they can manage to fix the first two problems i mentioned because theres no point in playing then finding some good loot and logging off then coming back to play and your suddenly a fresh spawn.

but arent they trying to remove server hopping from the game?
Isnt that the point of what they are doing? If so I am completely for it. IMO every server should save its own version of every player so players cant abuse server hopping on low pop servers to gear up, or to flank enemies.
I cant even count the number of times ive had players DC as soon as they were hit, only to pop up behind me 2 minutes later.
I am glad that he is addressing these issues. It really ruins the game at points when people abuse these things.
Hopefully one day when we have a TL server back up and running we can eliminate this sort of thing the way we used to, by banning all combat loggers.
