Rage VG

Your location and gear will only transfer between official servers. If you play on a private server, your gear will not go onto any other server. If you go on a public server, your gear will go to other public servers, but not onto private ones.

Erm, you see what you were doing already? Yeah, do the opposite.

People do make camps like this. They keep themselves secluded to avoid attacks.

You need to run Operation Arrowhead at least once before you can play DayZ. The error means the file you are trying to run has no program to run with.

Quite the opposite, imo. The actions are the same (Ending the life of another person to better your position and well-being), however the behavior is different (One is an aggressive act of self defense, the other is more offensive and may not be for self defense.).

I believe we should quickly define what we mean by KOSing and intentionally going around looking for kills. By KOSing, I mean when you happen upon another survivor, you will shoot the moment you get an opportunity. This wouldn't be looking for someone to kill, and I am fine with it. I don't do it myself, but if other people do it, it's okay. It's part of the game that makes it what it is.

But it will get stolen again. The CD-key stealer apparently goes right through most antivirus programs. You don't even need regedit to replace your CD-Key. Just run the game as Admin.

90% of the support tickets I read that are about global bans say "I haven't played in months, I come back now and I'm miraculously banned." I find it pretty funny how almost everyone is posting here about their thesis on how your CD-key was stolen, as if OP cares. Telling him not to hack in the likelihood it was that which stole his key doesn't answer his question. Back on topic, I think that the best thing you can do is: 1. Back up all of your important non-ARMA files onto an External hard-drive. 2. Do a clean install of Windows. 3. Set your antivirus to do a daily boot-scan. This will make sure you won't get a second one. 4. Slap your brother. Tell him never download anything without letting you know first. If he doesn't comply, password-protect your computer.

It was a joke.

I'ma laugh if in a week you make a thread about being global banned. huehuehuehuehue.

I don't see how it makes him a dumb ass. He never said how it was stolen. For all you know he got a DayZ addon from a dodgy site, or even a friend on his computer. Even if he was trying to get hacks and he got his key stolen (In which case that is quite stupid of him), that's not what the thread is about. He's asking about replacing his CD-key safely. The penalty for hacking is to pay for a new CD-key, and he's willing to pay that penalty. So even in the worst case scenario, he's already been punished.

If you want to be dead certain you don't have it stolen again, reinstall windows. Then you can safely replace the cd-key.

I see. Perhaps an Antivirus software deleted a file due to a false positive.

Make sure the server is actually running the latest version too. You might have to downgrade your version to play on some servers.

Honestly, I'm the same. Except instead of avoiding situations where I would be bested, I just become proficient at the game as fast as I possibly can. When I start the game, I want everyone to immediately be aware I have the potential to pull off what they can. I have no problems with them knowing I haven't yet, or even if I'm not entirely sure how. But if it's a fighting game, I'm adamant I can defend whatever they throw at me and dish it back out, if it's a shooter, I tell them they'd better keep their heads down or I'm taking it off.

Mission accomplished.

I am currently wearing a pair of NVGs as I'm writing this. As my light is on, it makes it incredibly hard.

Touchè.

Still looking for an answer to my prior question.

I have a question that I would like answered: What the fuck?

I believe that it would fit under server general, although I wouldn't complain about it getting its own section.

I'm typing this from within a crash site.

Report it for hacking.

I went through the trouble of even making a picture. Merry late Christmas.
