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?

DE4 22:24 (start of video recording) GMT +1 Running up a hill, everyone on the server died. After the fact recording, but abit of proof I suppose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXlpYoLZTbo (now with less compression errors)

I like the idea of fog increasing the noise you make (more precisely increase the range, zombies/people can hear it). Since in a fog you have limited eyesight, and compensate with your ears....at least according to my own personal logic. 2 bars noise level should still be 2 bars of noise. But the aggro range of 2 bars noise level should increase (say 33%-50%). Same for 3 bars of noise, etc etc etc.

* [FIXED] Can dupe food during cooking if click really fast (now you cannot) The same thing applies if multiple people Gut a animal at the same time. (haven't tested in a few patches tho)

Rocket, this truly was your best idea :D

Thank you...was abit iffy on where to place it (hence the off topic) Tho now I read the description on the gallery, I see my mistake.

Instead of making a new Thread, why not just add it to mine? http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14820 The steam shortcut is completely correct, and has worked for me for about 4 weeks, and it also works for the 5+ friends I have talked through installing it and seems to be working for the majority of viewers. It is possible you are running into some sort of bug, in which case I fully support using your suggested way. But using sixupdater.exe is just extremely slow to load, comparably. As you can see here, only using the shortcut I show in the video: here is my expansion menu, all necessary files are hooked in correctly (screenshot). If your Arma 2 is failing to hook in, correctly. Have you tried enabling it in the expansion menu? Same with DayZ (which will write the hook-ins to your ArmA2OA.cfg and they will now launch regardless of your method of launching the game) The code you want in your ArmA2OA.cfg will look something like this: class ModLauncherList { class Mod1 { dir="d:\apps\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2"; name="arma 2"; origin="GAME DIR"; fullPath="d:\apps\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2"; }; class Mod2 { dir="@DayZ"; name=""; origin="GAME DIR"; fullPath="d:\apps\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ"; }; }; DO NOT COPY-PASTE THIS CODE, AS THE FORUM REMOVES THE FORMATTING. I have added a text file which will retain the format. The ArmA2OA.cfg can be found in C:\Users\******\Documents\ArmA 2

Shameless self bumb, to help out new players. Also, if you encounter any problems, I am trying my best to reply on youtube to anyone with problems.

Sounds about right, time to release it.

Alrighty, I am going to be very Pedantic. So move along, nothing interesting to read here. Would there be any way for the DayZ devs to insist/enforce a format for server names? Before the Counter-strike Server browser syndrome sets in. When I started playing, most servers followed a standard format "Dayz Zombie RPG -" followed by the individual server name. Now 3 formats have popped up: Dayz Zombie RPG - Dayz Dayz - plus a few handfuls of server that follow no format at all. So again, is there any way for the Devs to insist on a standardize Format before we start getting the " [[!!!()!!!]] DayZ - DE #1" (no offence to germany, just had to pick a name). Before even more server start popping up and they start jockeying even harder to show up on the top of the list? And making the sorting system more of a burden, than a help.

You read the readme.txt that comes with the beta patch. And do what it says...only the path will be slightly different to account for it being in a Steam sub folder Next time you see a readme...might wanna read it. Sweet, I just taught somebody to fish.

And then again when he tried to loot our camp and steal our jeep. About 1½ hours later. Both times Alimbo_O's friend logged out like a little ****, wish I know what his name was tho. First video he logged back in tho.... Thank good for a full server in the 2nd video. First video started recording at 18:02 GMT-0 (Irish time) 15-06-2012 2nd video started recording at 20:34 GMT+1 (Danish time) 15-06-2012 If a admin wants/has need for the server name, I can add that..but I would obviously prefer not to give away our Jeep and ATV server.....
