What are the chances of GAF getting a private server?
That's true haha.i think the the guy whos making this should totally rip the name from the youtube series "the days ahead". works way better than day z.
There are seriously 29 servers currently full right now...

Are you implying there aren't assholes on GAF? lolI don't think I like the idea of a private server with passwords and whatnot. The whole point of this game is to survive despite people running around being assholes killing everybody.

Being private doesn't necessarily mean everyone is going to have to be friends
Why don't you guys pool in and rent a server, install Day Z on it? Can even make your own Gaf rules.
uh huh. Time for a MMO subscriptionThe alpha was designed to allow for capacity testing on two servers, each running 50 players.
Currently we are running over 40 servers (with 4 more being rolled), with a concurrent player number of well over 1400.
1.5.5 should help a bit. However, we're now maxing out the number of TCP windows can handle on our central server. That means we're need to start doing some really complex stuff at the backend. Effectively we're now running a level of complexity similar to some MMO's. It's going to take a bit of time to sort that out.
Just hope this doesn't break on IGN or anywhere before we get this out. We also had a couple of boxes go down because so many people tried to connect at once they effectively DDoS'd that box.
Oh my gosh, hahahahahahaha!Just finished watching the full archive of that Criken stream which was linked a bunch.

skip to ~51 minutes in for them finally finding a playable server, then it's a four hour zombie/murder movie.
Funny how it starts off quite light-hearted and full of dicking around, then at some point they all kinda realise that they're invested fully in the situation. Great ending too.

I have a few questions about Arma II's settings.
No matter what quality setting or resolution - I always get the same performance. 1920x1080 or 800x600, Highest or Lowest - doesn't matter. I get the EXACT same performance.
Also, the 3D resolution setting. Why is it even a setting? Why can't it be turned off? If you run it at anything other than the resolution you're running the game it looks so blurry that it gives you a headache. So, I can't even understand why that would even be an option.
Is there something I'm missing? I've exhausted all menu options and settings that I can think of. Nothing makes a bit of difference on the performance of the game, it's pretty odd.
Made a steam group to get us together:

edit: arg steam crashed the second I made it public, if it's weird I'll flesh it back out.

Please someone tell me there's an autojoin server feature that I just somehow don't know about. Been trying to get into one for coming up on an hour now.

The long waiting and loading times to get into the game is pretty bad, but servers just crashing or denying everyone access due to insane amounts of login attempts is really bad.
Maybe its a good thing I will be away till next monday and cant play. Thats a whole lot of updates that will hopefully make things run a bit smoother by the time I get back. That or this MOD will really go viral and the incredibly mass of people trying to join servers and play will run the entire project into the ground.
Like has been mentioned (way earlier in the thread though) and the devs said, this is a true alpha and they weren't really expecting or wanting this many people yet. Everything about it is janky as hell but the idea and even execution on a mechanical level is really fantastic that it's easy to overlook those issues as a mod. They were updating basically every few days before so I'd expect them to keep pumping out updates with the influx of users.
After trying for an hour or so I just got in on a server, but night in this game is really pitch black, you can't see shit without flares. Is it supposed to be like that?
Say it out loud
