I think most australians have that problem, for example me. I live in Perth which is one of the most isolated capitals around, the anz servers are in sydney(?) which is like 1000's of km away. The best ping I can get on these is around the 70-90 mark, and I consider that good. Plus Australia has a shit broadband network anyway.

Had a quick bash of this before leaving for work, loaded in nice and fast, runs smoothly as far as I can see. Will be trying again tonight.

Good news, though I am in perth and getting quite high ping, over 200. Will try tonight though as it would be nice to play in a private server.

I had this problem as well, solved it by running arma2oa.exe as administrator, and by deselecting the mic in control panel and choosing another device, then resetting the mic as default recording device.

Curses, foiled again!

Ok so have been playing dayz for quite a while (since may) but this is my first post here, I need to clarify something that happened. So my friend and I went for a massive run yesterday, went up to Stary sobor (where we usually dont go) and scored us some of the best loot we had achieved so far, satchel charge, m107, m16a2, g17, plus heaps of ammo. Now I know thats not THE most amazing gear but for us it was as we usually avoid the military areas and just hang around the coast or surviving in forests hunting animals and such. We decide to leg it to Cherno to grab some hospital supplies, that goes well so now we have blood bags, epi-pens etc, so we run back north in to the hills, stopping in a forest to organize our gear so we each have equal amount of stuff. Then the dreaded instakill begins, I start seeing ppl being killed one after the other, so I yell to my friend to log out NOW! I managed to log off quickly enough, but my friend didnt, there was flies. I log back in as soon as I can, hoping to at least salvage some gear of my mates dead body, but it wasnt there? I run back into cherno and sure enough there a dead survivors lying around on the roads(mostly noobs, checked their bodies). So what happened to my friends body, did it just disappear, or because we were on a slope did it sink into the ground or something? tldr; friend was killed, logged back onto server, body wasnt there.

Makes sense now, my friend did alt-f4, but after the death screen, so yeh the body either was gone or sank into the ground I would say. It was an insta-kill hack where everyone just dies where they are. So basically shouldnt have logged out after death, ah well lesson learnt. We did log into another server after that and straight away found a CZ550 in a barn, so that lessened the pain a little...

Hacked weapons create such an unbalanced version of what Dayz is supposed to be, whether you hack em in yourself or find them in camps. If you really believe this mod is one of the best gaming experiences out there, take the high moral ground. I have a weapon list so that whenever I find a suspicious looking weapon I check the list to make sure its legit, if not I destroy or just leave it.

Theres often tents on Pik Kozlova mountain, you cant sprint up the slope its too steep so it takes a good couple of minutes to reach the summit, plus lots of huge rocks for cover.
