I think the way it works is if you pitch it, you can pack it.. old tents can have a purpose too, I use them all the time, its just you can't pack 'em up and take them away..

pretty sure it's in it all ready sans gun..

sounds dodgy to me.. you are offed on a random server which they join and show up in a UAZ? wish i'd a jeep on every random server on the planet..

i've been working with one for a day or two.. boy does it chew through ammo quickly.. and its as rare as frigging hens teeth to find..

nah.. my biggest gripe is that the boot / trunk should only be accessible from the drivers seat. I would pick up more survivours, but i'm sick of having my shit stolen by them when they are in the vehicle..

yeah.. it only seems shit if you're living outta your back pack! however going bandit hunting? 6 x beans 2 x water bottles + low profile.. that's three good hours bandit hunting right there..

if you play on " recruit " level servers, you are given lots of visual indications which will certainly help level the playing field somewhat, on more advanced settings these go away placing you at a disadvantage i'd imagine..

Hey, can anyone help please? If I put the OA - expansion - addon's folder on a Ram drive.. what line of code do I need to add the the DayZbeta windows batch file so that it will look for the folder on the ram drive.. is this even possible? thanks in advance..

ha ha.. you lost me there at "create a symlink.." but I shall endeavour to read about symlinks on google. cheers..

That actually looks a pretty niffty wee app, but it's of no benifit to me i'm afraid.. thanks anyways..

ARMA 2 is stand alone - ARAM OA is through steam..

Don't suppose you could remove the side guns as well?

the no1 immersion killer for me is the position on the screen of the god damn microphone Icon AGHHHHHHHHHHHH! move it off to the right or left please!! why not move it down to the bottom left? -

Requesting immediate mechanical assistance.. over. Evac!!

I can empathise.. was nailed by a server hopper in SW barracks yesterday myself as well, on the Ziip server.. though I wasn't camping it, just passing through, had checked the last room at the bottom of the corridor, nothing really of interest and was making my way back into the corridor, when cunty mcCunt spawns in and riddles me in the back. He got some well tasty kit too, including some uber sniper rifle I was carrying for a friend cause I had accidently murdered him the day before in the fog of war of a shoot out.. oh well, got tooled up again pretty quickly & i'm back to where I was before I died, only with a lot less murders in the debug monitor... shit happens. no happy endings in the apocalypse..

clouds always move east..

6 months? I was playing a Zombie mod not dissimilar to this on ARMA maybe six years ago..

msi afterburner

right click DayZbeta and select "edit with notepad++ "

well my PC is quite old now with a new GFX card, as you can see in the pic I posted my gpu usage is only 25% - I feel this could be a driver issue that nvidia need to fix.. watercooled Q9550 @ 3.8Ghz 8GB 1800Mhz ram GTX680.. I have the standalone edition of ARMA2 but ARMA2 OA I bought through steam.. I used the DayZbeta launcher which is installed in the operation arrowhead folder which is in your steam common aps folder. I then used notepad++ to edit this file to direct it to launch from the @dayz folder in the ram drive instead of the one in the steam folder by simple editing the line call "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\Expansion\beta\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;expansion;expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;@DayZ;" to call "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\Expansion\beta\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;expansion;expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;G:\@DayZ;" this works fine for me.. edit - it just so happens that my ram disk was assigned "G" so change it to what ever letter windows has assigned to your Ramdrive..

Lepryy - I was in the same boat m8, I was having really bad stutter when I would zoom in & in major citys my frames collapsed to single digits and nothing but a slideshow & death.. with the ram disk, my min frames now is usually aorund the 40's mark and the game looks amazing.. have a hunt roound google there may be a guide on the main arma website or something.. heres a pic from down town Cherno - I had to avoid it for weeks cause of poor frame rate.. http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd341/IG-Calibre/arma2oa_2012_07_10_21_51_48_659.png

i'm trying to talk the lads I play with into starting out on a private hive server, they wanna set one up - i'm thinking it would be better to start out on an established one and just playing there, rather that trying to get another one up and running..

The guide I used to do this is no longer avaible since they updated the forums i'm afriad. I didn't actually watch the video tbh I assumed if someone went to the bother of putting it up, it would have detailed easy followed instruction. sry if it didn't. Maybe the person who posted the original thread will repost their guide here in the new forums. Also you don't need to install the whole arma 2 folder, you get a good 10fps min boost just using the @Dayz folder in my experience, though i've also gone a step further and i'm using another gig and a half of the ram disc for my system pagefile too..
