Eek, wish me luck fellas, I am about to attempt getting things to run. I am just finishing up all my Steam downloads now, and then I am going to attempt using DayZ Commander to get everything sorted. I am going to follow these instructions on the wiki... I pray they are up to date!

The opening post does not say which game these settings should be applied to? Arma2 Arma2: Operation Arrowhead

Well, I just couldn't resist fellas. I just got the whole shebang, Combined Ops and both the DLC's. I am a glutton for frustration and punishment I suppose. :lol: See you in the game! :beans:

Could someone explain the difference between the survivor texture with the blue buttonup shirt vs the all black clothes? Is that a random spawn thing where it is assigned to you, or is it dependant on having some of this additional DLC? Edit: Nevermind, I found the answer here on the wiki.

It's a shame. I got turned on to DayZ by watching Frankie's 11-part series. That bus video is #11 and at the end he unfortunately declares he won't be playing any more DayZ until the standalone comes out because of hackers. If you watch any of his other videos (battlefield3, borderlands etc), the comments section is full of people asking for more DayZ vids.

I really enjoyed the 11-part series FrankieonPCin1080p did for this game (what a voice he has!), but at the end of #11 he says he's going to wait for the standalone to come out because there is too much hacking in the game. :(

Interesting opinions and differing experiences here folks, thank you all. This is better than trying to glean info about the situation from watching videos online. I'm in the States, so I would most likely be playing on UA servers. BTW, beans for everyone in the thread. I presume this is this forum's version of reputation?

Thanks for your honest opinions guys. I think perhaps waiting and trying the standalone might be the best idea for me. I've had enough frustration lately with the horrible debacle that Iron Front has become, that my blood pressure might not be able to handle another Arma-based bad experience. I kind of had the feeling I missed out on this mod in its hayday, I can't imagine it would be this popular if the hackers were here from the start. Did Arma without DayZ have this much difficulty with hackers, or is it simply the popularity of the DayZ mod that has brought them out of the woodwork? I hope they do something with the standalone version to combat this; the game itself looks like quite a unique experience and absolute blast. I think I'll save my hard-earned money for now I suppose.

I haven't played any of those games, but I'll presume you mean its quite bad indeed. :( How does one, who is just a lone guy playing this game, get invited or become a user of private hives? One just has to slog it out until they are invited to a private server by a friendly player? Thank you for your posts, I've given you both my beans, whatever that means, lol. :beans: :thumbsup:
