So I just started playing again for the first time in about 9-12 months (can't remember exactly when I put it down, I believe .48 or .50) and obviously a lot of things have changed. All of the airfields have much less loot and don't see as much player/survivor traffic as it did when I played last. So I'm wondering where is everyone hanging out these days? Where do people go when they get geared? Last I remember, Berezino is where the action was.

Well I finally got everything reinstalled and what not (took me a while since I had to do it twice. First time I got Shader errors when launching) and the problem resists. I do noticed though that it's an issue with the Combined Ops launcher in steam as both the Arma2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead launchers both work fine. I only get the issue when I try launching Combined Operations, which of course is what you need to play DayZ. If anyone can figure this out it'd be nice.

I also believe that it's steam fault as well. I went to launch Combined Ops today to play DayZ and when I did, steam told me it needed to "optimize" the game data or something. So I let it do this. When it finished I launched it again and the game loaded properly but I dropped the beta update. So I reinstalled the patch I was using from the files on my computer (didn't re-DL the same file from beta site) and that's when I got the launching error. Steam did something to break the game. I even when as far as uninstalling the both arma 2 and Arma 2 OA and reinstalling both the beta I had and the current DayZ release (1.7.2.6) and I'm still getting the same error. Gunna try again but completely erase Arma 2 folder from drive and use latest patch. I'll reply again if it works.

Props to the Admins. Spawned in with my char up by Stary and within like 1 minute was being messed with by somebody with an invisibility hack. Was on my way back to my body when another person (possibly same person) suddenly spawned like 5m behind me and tries to kill me with a grenade. However I had started moving so it didn't work. He starts following and takes a shot at me so Alt-F4'd to get out of there. Switched to another server and hike my way back up to where my body was so I could switch back to this server in attempt to loot my well equipped corpse to get some of the equip back. However when I did, there were skyscrapers everywhere around Stary. Within a few minutes the server was restarted and when I logged back in again I was greeted by an admin. Anyways, just thought I'd put in my good two cents and say this is a good server with admins who are on top it when it comes to keeping the server clean.
