okay turns out it was the bet patch. i updatged to 95883 and joined a server running the same patch. mic worked again.... -_- sorry foreverything and great troubleshooting:)

Hey so I've tried all of your trouble shooting and nothing will work. :( My microphone and headset work in TS, Skype, Mumble, and Vent. I went to audio settings in arma and tried the auto adjust. I talked as loud as I possibly could and when it was finished it set my microphone level to zero. I'm not sure why arma doesn't pick up and voice coming from my microphone but I'm quiet desprate at the moment :( so i yelled in my mic during auto adjust and it set my mic setting to like very very very very low. my microphone is set to 100% in my mic settings

This is happened more than once. A few days ago my friend and i tried joining US 292 and got kicked every time. We sometimes would load up all the way, move around for about five minutes and then get kicked, and other times we wouldn't even be in the lobby for more than 30 seconds. The kick timing was very inconsistent and suspicious for a bot. We didn't think much of it and thought it was a probable server issue. The next day we try to join the server again and miraculously got in with no problem at all and played for about six hours. This happened only when the admin was not present in the server. Yesterday (July-29-2012 at 10:54 pm EST) I received a ban message from battleye saying my ping was too low,evidence below. Not entirely sure what is going on but I have a strong believe this is for sure administrative abuse. My ban from this server happened at about the same time my friend "Protoss" was banned. His ban message was different than mine. Below is a video of me trying to log into the lobby.

So me and my buddy were looking for vehicles in US128. We logged in near Green Mountain thinking there would be a UAZ or ATV... NOPE so we started heading down to Zeleno for a pick-up truck, checking our maps periodically to find the safest route through the forests. We stop to check our maps at the tree line when suddenly a ghillied out person appears to our left... He starts screaming "is that you is that you!" i respond and say i wasnt wearing a ghillie suit so he shoots him three times with his AS50. My buddy quick DC's as i quickly watch this all go down. i seen the blood pour from his ghillie as he jumped up and started chasing. Luckily i managed to log out before he could get a shot off. We were kinda sceptical about the server seeing that people were dying off rather quickly, one by one a different player dying. We believe it was a hacker using some god mode cheat and teleporting around the map shooting all the players. Has anyone else encountered this before? What was your story and how did you react?

Love the new barb wire fix... gonna bring back life to respawning players

I don't think that's too bad' date=' as it's not like 4 strands deep or anything. I could justify this as fortifying a temporary base of operations or something. Zombies glitch through the stuff, true, but it does still slow them down at times. Plus protecting your self from other players is valid. I'm not saying the stuff isn't abused but I wouldn't call this a good example. [/quote'] okay i guess i can agree with you but at the time i wasnt being chased so i snagged a shot lol

now you mean to tell me that this isn't over doin it... in a building that has a low to medium yield spawn point?

some people use it for the wrong reasons... and your probably one of them. ive walked through electro in at least six servers and every single building has been blocked off. how is it fair to other players if all the buildings are blocked off..? im not whining about anything. this thread was mainly created to see how many other people feel the same way i do, to see why people do it, and see what can be or will be done about it. now you can defend the barb wire all day long to keep it your advantage but in the end it is a flawed engine

So my character has been alive for long enough. i had an extremely good kit and wasn't feeling the need to be alive any more and wanted to see what it was like spawning with nothing (for lack of a better term... i was getting bored). So i died and spawned in on the ocean. Remembering the days of when i was inexperienced and trying to survive. it restarted the fire per say. Luckily i spawned in electro not having to run a far distance to find some half way decent loot and start my adventurous journey around the map. i run to the first building i see which happens to be the fire house. i run in and see there is three different barbed wire objects in front of the opening to the stairwell. i try to hurdle over them at least seven times and i get no where. like they are too high. i say fuck it and head to the market same thing. walk across the street to the restaurant, what do you know, same fucking thing. so i decide to hop to a different server and all the buildings were unenterable because of the barb wire. i havent been to electro or cherno in a while but i feel like the barbed wire in this game is being abused and i have yet to see it used in any tactical sense of this game... anyone else experience this when tryin to loot a town?

We already have a group of five soemtimes six. We could use the extra man power if you were interested. Were pretty experienced and know where to find mostly everything and everything. We are anti bandit of course but when looting towns we are sure to inspect lonely players for trust can not be taken lightly in thisn game. my steam user name is bnich11... add me if your interested in joining OUR alliance. any other none talkative group will be firerd upon based on bandits in the past so dont ruin it for yourself because if one of us die we have five other people to regain our loot within ten min...
