Same here, for an hour now I get kicked for #90, whatever that is. Very annoying. Oh, and while we are at it: The server browser seems to be messed up. It seems to take 1-2 complete Arma2 restarts until I am able to find my usual servers. Very weird.

You are looking at the wrong place. Search for heli crash sites instead, from my experience every third one or something spawns a sniper rifle. Quite too many, if you ask me. ;)

I copy & paste my observations with the actual patch from last thread to emphasize the urgency of fixing this:

After having played 1.7.2.4 for two days (server and client 95417) here my conclusion. First of all: Thank you, rocket, and your team for this great mod, have been playing nothing else the last 10 weeks or so. Great stuff! However, 1.7.2.4 has some serious issues, each of it gamebreaking: 1. tents The tent I own was set up 2 weeks back with 1.7.2.3. It was a nice tent, being able to dupe stuff. Made the game kind of boring, so I was really looking forward to 1.7.2.4. Well, the tent does not dupe stuff anymore, that's fine. Instead, no matter what I remove from this well equipped tent or what I add: After server restart it will return to the same content it hat before the 1.7.2.4 update. Pretty nice since it contains decent stuff, but a serious issue. I am not afraid to die. Once I reach my tent, I have all the goodies you can possibly think of. Very boring. 2. graphical glichtes I never had any before. With 1.7.2.4 I do quite regularly, whenever I look into a direction with military content like soldier bodies etc.. Observed this in Stary, Green Mountain and NW Airfield. Very annoying, and tempering with the video options or restarting Arma 2 sometimes work, sometimes not. I was unable to find a pattern so far. 3. desync With the desync between hive and my inventory I am actually capable of duping anything. There are no boundaries. Third issue which is truly game breaking. This needs ot be fixed immediately! There is just no point for me to do anything or go anywhere. All I want I can create on my own, without any hacking, just by exploiting. Although I know it's a sandbox game and all and I need to use my creativity to make the game fun all by my self, which has been fine for the last 10 weeks or so, I just see now point anymore to start the game at all. So here is my proposal. Since I am definately not the only one having figured out how to dupe items like hell (can tell from the other players I see running around, all with shiny NVGs, Rangefinders, AS50, Coyote and stuff), we need a cut here: Fix the issues, so nothing can be duped anymore. Once this has been achieved (better sooner than later), remove all tents and cars from all servers. Reset everybody's gear, let everybody spawn at the beach with nothing, just like they died. From my perspective, only this way the game will become fun again. Until then, you will lose a lot of people out of boredom, and the rest will suffer from the sociopaths, now with unlimted supplies, playing duck hunt with the unknowing at the coast. My 2 cents.

I couldn't agree more. It's only purpose was to annoy everybody, and it was always broken: Even after removal it respawned when server was restarted. We ended up with towns full of barbed wire, preventig people from getting to any loot. Great stuff, really. Causing graphical glitches is just the top of it. :) So, yes, I vote for complete removal.

What is the big deal about the disabled respawn button anyway? Run into a zombie (you might have noticed there are plenty in this game) and let him kill you: Respawn. No zombie in 500m range? Well, jump of a higher structure and die. In a game were the common life span is 49 minutes even when trying to survive, it is weird that someone complains he can't die within 2-3 minutes! :D

With the bad loot in deer stands I guess you were just unlucky, checked several deer stands myself and they had normal loot. Graphical glitches: Never had them before, now have them at Green mountain. Did not visit Stary, but clanmates had graphical glitches there..

All, I don't know if anybody noticed, but with 1.7.2.4 I experienced the following: Found a tent in supermarket, took it and moved on, did not set it up. An hour later I logged out. After relogin the tent was gone. Since I found the tent before 1.7.2.4, I remembered the new tent mechanics, dusted myself of and moved on. Found another tent. Stored it (did not set it up) and played for another 10 minutes, logged off. Logged on again and guess what. The tent was removed from my inventory again. Conclusion: Tents get removed from inventory after relogin. tl;dr : With 1.7.2.4 tents get removed from inventory after relogin.

Can not confirm. A tent set up yesterday works like a charm. Others, set up 2 days back, lose everything you store in there after server restart. A tent 2 weeks old works fine again. I fail to see a pattern so far.

The bug is still there.

This has still not be resolved, and I consider it one of the more serious bugs. So I give this a bump. :)

Well, to me the problem came with removing the bandit skin. Before that I was the friendliest and most helpfull player you could think of. I only shot bandits. Well, with the easy decision making gone and having died a lot of times to strangers while trying to be helpfull, I became a "shoot on sight person" myself. Easy as that.

Well, even if they are not responsible for the time desync, they are for their settings: 3DP on/off, CH on/off. And right now I estimate that only 50% of the server descriptions are correct. How hard can it be to make sure the server descriptionmatches the actual settings? Dunno how often I have joined a server advertising CH off and it was on. *sigh*

Shooting was ok, however, two things about the whole situation is kinda lame: - Regular server with crosshair on - Streamsniping Especially the latter is something you just shouldn't do.

He missed to take the GPS, though. :D

Yeah, and some sick puppies will spawn in the barracks just for the reason to fuck everything up for anybody else. :D It's blazing me away how creative obviously a lot of people become if there is a chance to ruin other people's day, the only relieve I have is that their real lives must really suck. :D But killing them in a creative way is a good start. :D

Although I have a toolbox, I totally agree: Barbed wire, sandbags and tanktraps do not really serve any other purpose then annoying other players: Have it removed until you find a real purpose for them. And if you do, please make them more rare. Right now they seem to spawn more often then matches, kind of odd.

Try getting away from the coast. Imagine spawning 20 people/hour looting the few places. Once you are 10-15 minutes into the mainland, you should be able to find quite some guns. I never understood the people going right to Cherno/Elektro right after spawn, those cities are deathtraps. On the other hand, you have not much to lose, so I guess it's a valid tactic. I for one always ran into the woods right after spawn, and I usually end up with an AKM, Alice, all the basic tools for hunting etc. within 2-3 hrs.

Well, I'd say: Let the people choose. I personalyl hate the servers with crosshairs, and I avoid them as much as possible. I like the 3rd Person view for travelling far distances, it gives a steady view and you can spot others more easy as in the shaky 1st person view while running. And I like to be able to lie next to an object, being invisible to others, but being able to see them. To me this is kind of cheating, but the people screaming for 3rd person are asking for exactly this. If I can choose, I will always connect to a hradore server with everything disabled. I even like to play at night, although I do not own NVGs. In the end it's just what you prefer: Easy or Hard. Check your balls and find out what server is right for you.:P But remember: Every advantage you are getting from using the kiddie mode, all other players on that server will have, too. :cool:

Happens to a friend of mine with Alice also a lot lately. He now exchanged the Alice with a Czech and then took an Alice again from a dead body. We will see if it happens again.

My friends and I experience this, too. Everything the other player has eaten/drunk and and tent build sounds are played, once he gets near another player. It's a huge giveaway to enemies, hence we relog every time when we have performed an action like eating/drinking or have build a tent. This is actually a serious and deadly bug, especielly for lone players not being aware of this. I recommend to fix this rather sooner then later.

Strange, my issues somehow vanished with the 1.7.1.4 hotfix. Well, I lost most iof my gear, including both weapons and stuff in my main inventory, other than that I haven't been kicked lately for any reason. It's a weird issue.

I stand correted. On some servers it seems to work, on others I get kicked. I am a bit clueless here, due to the fact that it seems ot be ok on some servers, I guess it's a combination between client and server setup. Any hints?
