Tweakie

They have opened to 30 players now (If you join, beware: the HORK clan, are probably well kitted out) http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960634382/screenshot/595849335339302207

Well, if you spent 30$ for DayZ you are kinda silly. DayZ is in alpha, buggy and hard to get working. BUT, have you made sure you are launching Combined Ops?....when you start up Arrowhead, go in the Expantion menu, and make sure: Arma 2, Arma2 Arrowhead and DayZ is enabled.

UK 26 23:45 (estimate) GMT+1. Found a Dead survivor at stary sobor, who had all the gear you could ever want... M4 SD, PDW, NVG, GPS, Rangefinder, Coyote backpack, etc etc and whatnots...wearing normal survivor cloths. His name was Ivan (according to Study body). Okayyyy, might have been a really good player, since it was on a hardcore server. But! he also had 20 G36 SD clips, which made me afraid it was hacked (also the russian name). Or is it possible it was from the nearby crashed chopper? 1 minute later we came under fire from a Sniper, who ofcause left when we shot him back....hope he bleeds out on a another server (but that is beside the point) The M4 I lost to the lovely arma inventory system...but I still got the rest of his lovely stuff. Do I have to drop it? and do I also have to drop all the regular items (rare and in the mod but probably hacked)

Yeah, Rocket you suck!! Why haven't you pressed the "Fix Bugs" and "Create Anti-cheat" buttons yet? Or are you using really bad software, to program in? Also, I would suggest growing 2 more arms, so you can program twice as fast.

yeah....You guys are right...dropping the G36 ammo. If a Dayz-Admin/mod tells me I have to drop the rest, ofc I will. But I would love some confirmation.

Yeah well, i am also worried about the rest of the loot...The NVGs, GPS, Rangefinder...since it might be hacked in too (hell even the backpack) and if i have to ditch everything i picked up from him....i will be stuck with My trusty SAW....and about nothing else :/ but the loot looked so damn tasty.

I just had it too (while using my Betapatch shortcut), then I started Combined Ops from Steam, it worked normal...then I retried my Shortcut, and everything was K. Only difference between today and yesterday (when it worked fine), was that I verified game cache, and Bad Serial came along for the ride

https://dev-heaven.net/projects/dayz report the bug here. And hope it will be fixed in the next version.

We already have gone to another server. And we blame your server (actually we blame the Admin), for the most convenient timed kick on somebody making it off with his Pickup truck. If at ANY point in the 1½+ hours we were on the server, any one of our 6 players had been kick or DC'ed...maybe I would believe you. But as soon as he is driving off with the truck...Timing too fucking good. Before the last vehicle/tent update, we had a regular server in which we had great battles with a group of Russians, lost great loot/ATVs to them..But worst they did was server hopping/Alt-F4, so we had no problems staying. Player exploiting mechanics, can't be helped...Admins abusing powers, can be help (yeah yeah blah blah, "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" etc etc and whatnots).

Sure sure. Point is, let people know that it is a bad server, and at some point when somebody does remember to get a screenshot or lucky enough to record it...there is enough suspicion, that you can't edit the logs to get around it. That, or you can just run a clean server. And FFS fix your Direct chat... do you know how annoying it is to have somebody talking foreign language while you are raiding choppers/his camp.

WTF, were you doing in the edge off the map, on the south-western border of the map?? Only reason we found out the camp was there, was due to our newbie who had less than 3 hours game time, being lost. 1: Yeah we were mad that he killed us, not angry at him, but at us for taking too long, being too greedy (spent far too long there, we could easily have gotten out multiple times). We reported the server due to the very convenient kick of our driver on a server where the Player name shows up when you hover you mouse over the vehicle. 2: It was me "Tweakie" who came back, 5 minutes later to try and reclaim my body. Got my G17, watch, map, etc etc..(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4W4MSN73go) back, while "Arcade" tried to sneak up and execute me (he failed) but won the ensuing G17 vs AK battle with me, curse you broken legs. Others might have come back later on, (wouldn't know since I went to bed 3: Why would he kick a random player, who just happen to be driving in a pickup truck, how would he even know his backpack was "Strange", that is just a helluva coincident. (BTW it is a bug, http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595849335305619116/6D50D3930D145F1215F117A0451904FE1D4E5E21/ the MP5SD isn't there, and isn't actually taking up space. It is to be fixed next time you log in, and only other players can see the "wrong" number, not the owner) 4: "(They didn't tried to respawn at Kamenka on GJ 1, no "xxx was killed" messages)" I guess you didn't notice my 3 repawns?... all in all, I don't find you to be all that credible. Maybe you are just the admin, trying to cover his bad behaviour with a freshly made forum account, just an idea. Hopefully 10_21 toke a screenshot of the destroyed pick-up, just to make this git bugger off.

03-07-12 23:30~ (GMT+1) Just to make the digging through the logs easy, Look for when "Tweakie" and "Sas" died While looting a camp with a White pick-up and 2 buses, just east (Edit:bahhhh west**) of Kamenka, the owners seemed to come back. So one of our guys (George) toke off in the pick-up and was kicked 30 secs later (it is a server showing playertags) luckily he had a passenger who could switch seats and take it out to be destroyed, since we are not gonna bother with this server again, because the Admin is untrustworthy, so just for spite. The kick did not mention any reason for the kick (IE ping). Also Mr admin, your direct chat could be heard all over the map the preceding hour.

Have you considered downgrading to the last version that worked for you? there still seems to be legacy servers around. Less than updated servers...but none the less Servers I hope you kept a backup of old versions, otherwise you might have to do some digging, seems the website no longer has the older versions available. Seems 1.6.0.1 is available here: http://www.moddb.com/mods/dayz/downloads/dayz-v1601 And hopefully 1.7.2 is released soon, and fixes the problems for you. BTW there was a bug in one of the later beta patches (that has been fixed) https://dev-heaven.net/issues/35251 that might be causing the problem for you (incase you are very attached to ONE server that is running beta patch that has not been updated)

Have you made sure you have upped your "audio samples"? I suppose some sounds are getting cut because of the 32 sample limit.

might get you banned. Do not mess with the files (and connect to legit servers)

You can do it too, if you accidentally double press Q or E (for lean) even tho there is no lean animation when you have no weapon, you will still suffer the speed penalty.

Press ESC, (open the menu) and press ALT+Return (the big Enter key)

Maybe it can, but I wouldn't try...you would have a horrible time. CPU too crap, GPU not very good. fair amount of RAM tho...but since it looks like a laptop or ITX hardware, the harddisk will probably be a 5600RPM drive too.... No way, Jose

Your character is tied to your CD key (arrowhead CD key), feel free to reinstall... Also you should know this game is deceptively demanding of your computer. And DayZ makes it worse, with the amount of stuff being offloaded to your CPU. Make sure you play on Beta server etc etc and whatnots. Make sure you have Arma installed on your fastest harddrive, make sure that you don't have a Pagefile on the same drive. And try to keep an eye open, that some program, like anti-virus, isn't interfering. BTW, a HD 5700? (there is not such card). Even the 5770 isn't a powerful card, it is(was) a great Price/performance card. The only way to make a 5770 (even at launch) into "Very powerful" was to Crossfire it. And the 57xx cards comes with either 512mbs of ram or 1gbs of ram, + special manufacture (not AMD) versions that have 2gbs....not 3gbs.... I got a 5850 myself, and I know it is starting to show it's age. I would classify it at the Medium level, at this point. This is PC hardware...and 3 years old hardware at that...In the PC gaming world, this is semi old tech.. PC hardware is outdone after about 1½ years.

well, DayZ has been the same version for about 2~ weeks now. http://www.dayzmod.com/downloads.php Or are you taking about ARMA 2 beta patches ? http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php And if you didn't buy it off Steam, then you are probably running a 1.5x version of OA. http://www.arma2.com/supply/game-updates I hope one of these links help.

Try FFsplit, free and pretty good...tho still in early development.

A 5 mins tutorial on how to install the 1.7.1.1, ARMA 2 OA betapatches and getting to steamoverlay to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhM5VTvGW00

I am sorry, didn't notice you had posted. A lot of people seem to be unable to figure out Sixupdater, so I will try to break it down in bullet point steps. 1: Go into the settings menu (blue button in the top left) 2: Under path, set your game and mod paths to your Operation arrowhead folder. Default Retail path: C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead * Default Steam path: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead * * "Program Files (x86)" in 64bit systems (most people will run 64bit system theses days) 3: Either Create a new preset or use the dynamic preset (I suggest just using the dynamic preset, you don't have to select anything..as Default it will use the dynamic preset) 4: Open the dropdown menu "Profile" in the top ribbon and select "A2 OA Combined Ops (forced) 5: Go to the "Mods" tab and find @DayZ, rightclick and select "add to preset" or "Use Mod in Dynamic preset" 6: Underneath the "blue button", there is a Big green button. If you click the lower ½ of it, you will get a drop down menu where you select "Install and update Mods" 7: Wait for it to be done and enjoy. Hope this will help somebody.

Title. (Steam overlay is up for the clock) http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960634382/screenshot/541804955998522244?tab=public http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960634382/screenshot/541804955998524327?tab=public http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960634382/screenshot/541804955998523340?tab=public http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197960634382/screenshot/541804955998571661 <---the three players in question Just want to make sure it is locked for a good reason (other than getting all the vehicles and phat lootz).

I have been working on this list for a while, instead of making a post for every single idea I had (no offence to anyone)...Some of them have already been taken care of (I have left them in due to laziness, and to show my "train of thought"). I am sure plenty of them are being discussed in other threads, maybe even better version, I apologies...06:20 laziness OP. Does any one spot major flaws in my thinking? I would appreciate kind and constructive criticism. Proper list: 1: Ammo count on magazines. (check) 2: Combine two ½full magazine to make 1 full clip, and free up inventory space for lovely loot. (should take about 2 secs per bullet being transferred, shotty piles just get combined right away, IMO) Semi-check. 3: Make the Visibility have some wiggle room, (from 1.5k to 3.6k~, buffer zone for low FPS players) 4: Add Roaming Zombies to remove forest Sanctuary (should still be a “safer zone”) 5: Add chance for Zombie Soldiers to carry a weapon. 6: Add chance for Zombie Pilot to carry a sidearm 7: Add chance for Zombie Policemen to carry a sidearm 8: Add zombiefied survivors with a chance of carrying weapons/backpacks + 4-5 piece of lowlevel loot (food, meds.. etc). 9: Make vehicle-parts/fuel a single carry item....running around with 7 jerry cans with 20 liters of fuel....ehhh seems abit to much for an old man to carry. 10: Risk of Zombie infection when low blood, Requiring meds within 4-6 hour. 11: Drop a empty tin can/soda can, after eating food.. 12: Add Full whiskey bottle and make it a poor mans morphine...with the added benefit of not being able to run straight...maybe some puking, resulting it extra noise. 13: Replace Army Zombies spawning at Deer Stands with hunters (IE the ones that might carry a bolt, CZ or Enfield ammo). 14: Use the WoW and Dark Age of Camelot way of logging out, IE. Sitting down for 30 secs while the eggtimer counts down until you have logged out, Alt-f4ing would make you sit down and suffer the same 30 sec penalty, except you wouldn't be aware of your characters surroundings...so you might get mauled by a zombie, and Shot in the face for wonderful loot. 15: Make flashlights a 3'rd melee weapon, so you can bash zombie heads in with it. 16: Make survivor cloth sync across all players, maybe even pickable, I know I would be rocking the beige all day!...IE another way to quickly identify friends: Survivor X wearing all black, in this area = Friendly (most likely) 17: Make animals killable with the Knife with the risk of being hit for 500 blood+bleeding. Silly list: 1: Make cooked/raw meat spoil, Add salt to preserve them. 2: Add a iPod, so I don't feel like I am ruining the experience by listening to music. 3: Bring back Mountain Dew (semi J/k, I actually like the mountain dew being rare and a treat) 4: Eating/drinking while flashing red, would bring you up to 80% of the corresponding meter. Dream list: 1: Add "dynamic events" I saw a picture post where some guy had found a hacked crashed C-130, which got me thinking of an idea. 1 time a day~, a C-130 comes flying over the map and crashes with alot of high value loot, essentially becoming a high risk/reward objective, and sniper heaven. 2: Add radios and make people with them able to use VoIP. 3: Make scopes and silencers detachable. 4: Fitting loudness on weapons and moving, and remove the Noise/visibility indicator. (assuming it's a work in progress) 5: Make magazines Non-Disposable and refillable. 6: Add ammo boxes (say a box with 50 rounds of 9mm ammo), if you don't have magazines you can only load in a single bullet at a time (shotguns do not follow this logic) ARMA 2 list: 1: Queuing system when joining servers, I am starting to feel bad, when I basicly have to DDOS a server everytime I try to join my friends. 2: Add DLC highres textures that DayZ uses to the basegames/DLC-lites. 3: Better FPS.........9 fps in berezino is making my nuts retract. Website: 1: Make the leaderboard searchable. I would love to look up how long until I can break into the top 20s. Server Browser: 1: Force servers to follow a default format for their name to avoid the Counterstrike servername syndrome. "DayZ - UK 1 (DayZ version/Beta Patch - GMT-x) Hosted by XXXX " Those is my two €-cents, what are yours?
