Awesome New Humble Bundle

[SieB]

Some good games in this bundle, shame DayZ has gone standalone though bet not many are playing the mod anymore.

Same here, I mainly just buy the bundles for charity. Don't think i've played any of the games i've bought through Humble Bundle yet and i've bought nearly all of them. Oh well, at least I have a decent Steam collection and plenty of games for a rainy fay.

Looking forward to messing around in Take on Helicopters from this bundle though.

Excellent bundle. Getting to try DayZ for less than £4 is awesome.

Can you not play the DayZ standalone online with people that are on the mod?

 

[Davva2004]

No idea tbh, will soon find out!

Nah, they are separate from each other unfortunately.

I had a look over 5/6 pages&couldn't find a thread (maybe i'm blind!:huh but the new one is awesome for small/indie-ish games! Wanted Monaco for ages! Go check it out& this one is drm free... wahay! :wiggle:

*edit, i must be blind, searched&found!*

The standalone is lacking in content, its not really bad. Its got a fantastic UI and looks quite nice, much better than the mod. Its more of an investment at the moment due to how early in development it is.

It's lacking in optimisation too :-/ it hates my machine

And mine, pretty sure it hates most cpus as I know a few people with i5/i7 xxx cpus that have similar issues.This is because its an Arma engined game, AMD cpus are not the cpus for it.Core usage is laughably bad, I've seen it change cores in task manager. Its worse on Bulldozer cpus as well, we're talking 15fps max on a 6100 (650ti). The Apus in my experience fair much better. Its going to improve though as they can apply the same changes they are working on in Arma 3 to DayZ.

I hope it improves I really want to get into it, but I dip down to 19 for in major city's. I have been looking for news on performance updates but found non, is Haswell e still going to be 8 core cpus? I may upgrade to one if there is an 8 core haswel

I get 15-20 in cherno on max settings. 40 normally. Its supposed to improve but Bohemia has been stuck in the past for some time, I'm yet to see if the good ol' spash cpu count trick works however.

My first time using Humble bundle, and it looks like a good website. The games are cheap and the money goes to charity. paid $1.8 try it out from what i had left on amazon giftcard, I might give away those games later on this forum (if its allowed)

would be nice if they accepted bitcoin

I have done that trick, it didn't help much tried loads of stuff to no avail

Eurgh :l. It fixed my minimum frame rate on Arma 2 (never dips below 30 now on cpu bits, doesn't fix arma 2's smoke lag ) but didn't do much to '3. Must be the new engine. FFS

 

[Tripp]

Yeah I wouldn't mind if it stayed above 30

They DO accept Bitcoin mate.

Thanks, diddn't notice it, they should add a picture or make it bigger.

Looks like amazon charged my debit card instead of gift card...
