The newest experimental patch of the DayZ Standalone game brings some performance improvements, and also 80 to 100 players on a single server. Here is an impression of one of the big cities, Elektro. A little crowded:
So far, most of the servers fit for up to 40 people playing. Even with only these 40 players, most of the popular places like the military areas or the big cities are embattled. Everyone brings what he got: Axes, crowbars, knives, guns or just their bare fists.
Now the 80 or 100 people will be a whole new challenge for everyone because food is rare, as well as clothes and weapons too, of course.
The DayZ Standalone is in alpha version at the moment. There is also the mod for ArmA called DayZ, and the standalone is based on this mod bringing less bugs, better graphics, and more features. Realism is the key feature of this zombie survival game. You have to drink, eat, watch out for diseases, fight the zombies. The possibilites are up to you, playing careful and sneaky, build your homebase and enjoy other things than fighting or just shoot everyone who moves.
The game is on top of the steam sales list right now and definitely going to be one of the upcoming big things in 2014.

Valve have finally announced plans to bring Steam Machines to the market with them revealing the first models at CES 2014.
The United States based company have revealed 13 hardware partners who are making the products with prices ranging from $499 all the way up to $6000. It was thought the new Machines would rival the next gen consoles, with you being able to play some of the highest quality shoot ‘em ups to the new casino games at Royal Vegas, but critics aren’t so sure.
The machines will run on SteamOS and isn’t expected to be anything mind-blowingly better than a Windows PC. The idea is that SteamOS will become a part of the living room, just as any PlayStation 4 or Xbox One has over the years, but with Steam for Windows offering a similar experience, is it really necessary?
It appears as though it’s gearing up to be extremely popular however. Since October the software has added 10 million new accounts, taking them up to 75 million, over 25 million more than Xbox Live.
Therefore the audience is already there for the future. Valve’s plan is to remove their Greenlight system, making it easier for small studios to get their games on Steam, and is drawing comparisons to that of the App Store, which has enjoyed over 50 billion downloads.
Whilst it is believed the hardware will not be a revolutionary, the Steam Controller also didn’t set the world alight at the Consumer Electronics Show, the large amount of games being added and already available for Windows, the community could grow even further.
It’s unlikely a minimum-$499 machine will take over the PC gaming world, especially when 90% of the Steam library can’t be used with SteamOS, and that could break the brand. Will many people take the plunge and by a Steam Machine that contains so little games? And will developers make games for SteamOS if nobody is buying the hardware?
It looks to be a little tainted from the start, but the truth is, Steam is still very healthy. It would be an impossible task for them to compete with Sony and Microsoft, but what it can do is reboot the PC gaming industry with its 75 million strong community, and increasing number of developers.

A lot of players encounter game freezes and crashes while playing
Grand Theft Auto V on their Xbox 360. Here are some tips that may fix
it:
1. Delete all GTA V game data.
2. Clear your system cache three times.
3. Delete all marketplace data from storage system items.
4. Unplug the console for three minutes.
5. Install disc 1.
6. Power off, do not insert disc 2.
7. Restart.
8. Now install disc 2.
9. Play.
These steps are from the Xbox Live Support, which one user contacted. Unfortunately there is no official statement or hotfix from Rockstar but they are gathering data and try to make GTA V work again.
Especially older Xbox360 consoles from the years 2006 to 2008 are involved. The problem seems to be the console itself, not the small HDD of 20 GB, although after installing GTA there are only a couple of mega bytes left.
If you have encountered the same problem, or even have another solution, please write a comment below.
