I like the idea. Both methods should consume a serious amount of energy.

I would like to add few more things:

a) Fishing spear (craftable)
b) guts for bait (or let us dig for worms with more tools)
c) small fishing rods (out of sticks, because you don´t catch Moby Dick :-) )

It´s quite challenging, right - but I don´t think it´s OP.
Just try to be stealthy.

Finally they are some kind of threat now. For the acutal zombie population they are good, but as Zombie pop. raises you should consider at least lower their "health"

I can confirm this, works just fine now :-)

Thx a lot dude

I do have the same problem.
All the mentioned solutions didnt worked for me.

I even can´t optimize dayz via geforce experience, looks like geforce doesn´t get full access to the settings.

Both options didn´t solve this issue for me - still happening every 15 minutes
:-(

I do have the excact same issue for months now.
I doubt it has anything to do with Battleye, because Arma 3 runs without any trouble.

I reported it aswell: 0015538
Looked fix, but sadly wasn´t :-(

Edit: for me it happens <excactly> every 15 minutes in game

Well for me the problem is back again aswell - see here

fixed again for me

I am at work right now, can´t test myself.
Any feedback if it´s acutally fixed?

Played last night without any issues.
Looks like its been fixed.

I did verify my files though. One file seemed to be broken and was renewed

There you go. A fresh and brand new Dayz folder :-)

(Additional Info: I thought and read in other threads it might has to do with Arma 3 and / or Battleye, so I deleted my Arma 3 installation aswell as the Arma 3 AppData folder - sadly no success)

For me the problems started earlier. At least 2 patches back.

Chodeofwar is absolutely correct.

Maybe what JStewart means is that our Game already crashed and we disconnect because of a game crash. And no Game Crash because of disconnect.

Yes, it freezes the moment I hit "Exit" in the ingame menu.

Task Manager says "no response"
