Day Z LFGSS crew/clan

Duels would be amusing but would be over very quickly I fear... I figured get on TS like Chris said 5 minutes before the deadline (having made our way there earlier in our own time) and maybe have a central point in Staroye that you need to occupy so that people don't just stay around the edges of town sniping. That also eliminates the need for an umpire or similar.

How is 0.6? I saw @chrisbmx116 was on last night. I was going to give experimental a go but looking at the known issues list I think I'll wait for stable. Has much changed?

Ha, I didn't even bother wth .60. From what I heard its a big improvement, people are going nuts over the FPS (60 in big towns on decent set ups maxed out).

I did however have a cracking night with a random lad I run with at times.

Met up for some trouble and gunned down pretty quickly by a Russian. We both managed to get close by spawns and met up again. Ran into a racist, sexist Polish lad who after lulling into a false sense of security bludgeoned to death with hoes. We were armed. Nearly knifed in the back by some geared looking guy so we attacked. He got away but we chased him down, but he swore it was all a misunderstanding. Trusted him and got looting until some guy comes out and empties his mp5 into us all. We survive and I get the Hoe out again and he's finished off with a shot from my friends Winchester.

Next up Bere! We take shots and a guy sprints past, our new pal "The Kid" has a Sporter, I only have a hoe, my friend has a Winchester. It's a hail of bullets and the guy goes down. It sounded pretty crazy, multiple rounds from many guns all going off and hitting various things. We rush the guy thinking he's still up but he's on the floor. Next thing we know he's up so I jump in and bludgeon him to death with the Hoe.

We then head to the police station and meet with some of "The Kids" friends. More people show up. I have a Fal for a bit. We end up holding the police station for a while and then head out as a 6 man squad. It also rained, which it never used to in .59?!

I've got some of this on video, it was cracking.

Please come back BRO.
(I'm not actually going to be on for a couple of days, maybe...)

Jesus first time I've checked the thread in a while, it's be 20days since cyoa posted...

Good story Chris, although I object to anyone but me being referred to as the kid though (that literally is my nickname in audax club hackney, not for long now mind...)

"Stable Branch Maintenance will be extended a bit today, no eta as of yet"
Gotta be 0.6 surely... hope it lives up to the hype, I haven't played in months.

Alienware is back from the dead after removing all but one of the RAM cards and then running a fresh w7 install.

Need to sort all the drivers out still but soon......

Will be on later this eve. I think the aim is Gents Public...

Not a chance .60 will be on stable later... I've been playing it a fair bit and it is a big improvement but still lots of bugs (more than usual) and a disappointing lack of infected.
I'm sure you've all seen some already but I'll get some screen shots up of .60, I'm running things at much higher settings at around 15-25 more fps on my iMac. On my i7 Hack I was over 100fps in the wild. Crazy times.

Will be on later, Gents or Public, meet on the coast and head out for trouble?

SCRATCH THAT.
It's confirmed for tonight...
No edits.

.60 to stable confirmed, I'll be surprised if it goes smoothly.

still lots of bugs (more than usual)

Great, can't wait :D

The reddit and twitter hype train has been pretty funny.

I bet it's gone bloody mental. Should be a fun eve of we manage to get on. New spawn coastal disco.

GTA online isn't loading for me so I'll update and get online.

Bleugh. Updated and have some bullshit can't set resolution error that crashes the load before it even gets to the main menu.

Deleted local files. Reinstalling. Tossing internet.

Still no luck. Tried to update graphics drivers but bootcamp says no graphics hardware installed. all the lels.
opened the cfg file in My Docs - inserted: Windowed=1;
now shooting z's

Delete your dayz folder in documents. Entire folder. Relaunch and it rebuilds.

Already did it but to no effect. Get with the times BRO.

.60 is pretty. It also runs really nicely on my ageing laptop with decent settings.

Much more ambiance now - the lighting is drastically different and the shadows are much more realistic. The fog makes it feel like silent hill and the reduced vision makes it a bit harder to navigate.

5/7

Yeah. I think I've messed my settings a little so going to have to delete and reinstall but its a whole new world. Took some screen shots last night but they came out insane dark... Going to be about over the weekend so if anyones up for a big session hit me up. Going to play on Gents server a lot I think.

I couldn't find Gents last night. Servers were a bit squirrelley with the sudden influx of players though.

Should be a goer this weekend.

Shit hot. Yeah, I think their servers took a bit to get online...
I ran about for another 30 mins but didn't really get much.
Good fun testing it out.
Will invest properly on the Gents. Hopefully folks will set up the old trading posts again...

Also, I was possibly too drunk last night.

Haha. I couldn't hear you too well over in-game chat but could tell that much. Seeing how things go and if we start playing regularly again, I might set up a mumble server on an rPi that can also do other duties.

Had a very brief spin last night but it didn't seem too promising, I was getting around 18 fps in fairly sparse areas on lowest settings. I'll give it a proper bash this weekend and clear out my old configs. I think I might have to accept that my laptop is no longer up to the job.

HA HA sorry! Yeah, I'm defo in for getting back on regulary.
