I wonder if that is what US 10's state is right now, locked up with the hive. The last ppl connected before it restarted earlier today still show up in the lobby (DayZCommander) but the server is timing out...

US 9 seems to have gotten stuck on the middle of the last restart (not really timing out, but stuck on a "Creating" status for the mission)... Regards Edit: Server is back... had not noticed this before, but US 9 seems to be taking about 1h to finish the restart cycle and create the Dayz mission. Perhaps it is something with 1.7.2.5?

At about this same time yesterday, me and two friends were hidden in some bushes near Komarovo, we were about 50m apart from each other. Then we noticed that in a time span of less than 1 min about half a dozen players got killed. One of my friends reported hearing footsteps very close to him and getting 1-shot killed right away. Right after that my other buddy started getting shot at and got killed. Since they were quite hidden and far enough apart to be not so easily ambushed in such a short notice, I took the coward's way (or perhaps wise if the suspicion was true) :-) and D/Ced, sensing that I was about to be the next in line to unexpectedly buy the farm. That was about 10h30pm EDT. Then one of my friends respawned in Three Valleys and started the run back to try to retrieve his gear. In the way he passed by one of our tents to grab food and drink, and noticed our vehicle was not there anymore (we had left it there before venturing out, less than 2 hours before). He moved on, in the meantime the server pop had reduced quite a bit (fell to less than half of the almost 20 it had before people started getting killed more frequently). When he was about 2 clicks away from where he died, everyone on the server died at the same time. It was about 11pm EDT. Respawned in Cherno, switched to US 10 to avoid yet another insta-death, retrieved gear successfully :-( phew The first deaths could very well be just tough luck (wrong place, wrong time), but the second ones were certainly not.

The music choice was really good... Too bad you didn't make it (that is, to pull your things together and go after him lol)

First of all, hello to everybody (newcomer here). I just wanted to share that for me there were times where restarting the client completely would not fix the glitches with a 100% success rate. Since restarting the whole computer felt like overkill, I managed to find out a compromise between both - I play on a monitor, but have my TV set hooked up on the 2nd port, so what I do is to close the Arma client, extend my desktop to the 2nd output using Catalyst Control Center (running a AMD HD 4870) which makes the screen "flick off/on" (suppose it is some kind of video reinit), then disable the 2nd output. After that I launch the client and so far that has fixed the glitches with 100% sucess. But I suppose it would not be an option for those who are running with a single output connected (the option to extend would be unavailble)... Regards
