Interesting... Also I saw this in the latest beta patch notes: [93812] Fixed: Restrict gamma value set by profile [93809] Fixed: Restrict brightness value set by profile Does that have any relevance? Edit: Ninjad!

Just saw this in PC Gamer, lmao had me in stitches! Imagine if you ran into him randomly in the game :D He's probably lost his good natured playful attitude now though thanks to those guys! :'(

This happens when you join a server that has a different version to the one you have. So when I accidentally joined a 1.6.0.1 server but i was running 1.7 there was no sound. This sounds like your issue as I was also confused when I did it, but it might not be, make sure you are running the same version of DayZ as the server you are in.

If you aren't trolling you just wasted a whole lot of your time, ha ha! To play a game online you have to buy it.

So we'll no longer be able to sneak around zombies? It was pretty intense when a crawler came out of no where and you just manage to go prone and he just crawls by you as you shit yourself. Can't wait to see how it all works after the patch!

Delete the thread maybe...

Am I the only person who has absolutely no clue what is going on here? Why I am even posting in a thread that I understood 0 of is beyond me as well... Anyone has cliffnotes? I just want to play DayZ and have fun with friends and foes alike :)

My brother did the same thing after I spent 3 hours moving his character up to me during the day so we could play together in the evening (LOL, thought he was joking at first!). +1 for the retard button!

It would be nice if there could be some way in the future to turn off the ability to turn gamma and HDR up. I had my most fun at night when I was new to the game and trying to get back to my friend at Rog castle from the south western side of the map after a bandit killed me there but my friend killed him and survived. I didn't know about turning up gamma and hdr to see so whenever I saw an outline of a town or hear zombies I would lob a flare into the town and slowlly work my way around looting it. I spent like 3 hours doing this and the experience was incredibly atmospheric and scarey, I just love the look of the flares too. Since I turned up Gamma and HDR it hasn't been the same but i figured everyone else is doing it so it would suck if someone could see me but I couldn't see them because they had their gamma/hdr up and shadows off giving them a massive advantage. I understand this game is about role playing so I could turn it back to normal and forget about what everyone else is doing but it would irk me that others have such an advantage. So would it be possible for them to remove the Gamma/HDR adjuster in settings in a future patch? Or would it have to wait for a full release of the game as they can't remove basic settings from the main Arma 2 game.

Cool new patch already! Will there be a torrent on armafiles soon for it?

My brother and I could find no ammo in any building we came across (though I probably could have built 5 cars with all the car parts lying around), eventually I aggro'd a zombie trying to get into a barn. Thankfully we had one smoke grenade which we looted off a former survivor in our group, we thought this might save us. We threw it down, all the zeds were attracted to it and we though w000, HIGH FIVE!!! GO SMOKE GRENADE! LETS GET OUTTA HERE!!!...... then the Fing building exploded, literally exploded all around us! We didn't even think that was possible in Arma 2. I can only assume it was a bug resulting from throwing a smoke grenade in doors. Anyway we got out of the rubble and ended up running for about 30 minutes while frantically typing in side chat, "how can you lose zeds with no ammo" before dying, we did run up some hills and try to use flairs to distract them but nothing seemed to work for us. Some of the tips in this thread I'm sure will help us if this happens again!

I'm getting the game today, what bad timing! Hopefully I can still have a few hours of play through (or at least until I die) before it starts respawning me as other characters and such. Anyway thanks Rocket and DayZ Staff for all your efforts!
