I didn't read all 73 pages. Does anyone know if there will be any kind of a disconnect-timer preventing disconnecting while in combat in THIS update?

Ha! I have one story for you guys - yesterday i was a bit bored and i thought it might be funny to run around in Cherno/Elektro, seeing how fast i can equip myself and NOT trying to shoot other survivors/bandits. Everytime i would see another player, i would try to talk over voice with him. First time i got shot by 2 guys, i had no weapon at all. Second time i found a nice guy in Elektro, we looted about 10 minutes together, until i got shot by a sniper at the Elektro hill. Next time i got shot trying to talk to another survivor... My last run was hilarious: I spawned in Cherno, looted all the buildings in about 15 minutes, got myself an AK with a M1911 and lots of food/drinks, i decided to head to the Balota Airfield, maybe i will find "another" nice survivor. When i approached the first hangar, i read in the chat "friendly?". I stopped and answered "yes, i'm friendly" over voice. While i was talking, i noticed someone stood behind me. I slowly turned around and saw a survivor behind me. But before i could talk to him, he opened fire at me, i only could scream "DON'T SHOOT I'M FRIEN..." and i was dead. I still don't get why he killed me, i almost thought i found another nice guy.

*nothing here, it works.*

I think you find your player ID when you click on "Edit profile" when starting up Arma 2 OA.

I can happen very easily. I accidently flattened one tent of my own camp a while ago.

Unfortunately, i can't check my player ID now, because i'm at work. I will post my player ID in this thread when i'm home. Thanks for your answers.

ok, thanks for your answer, but i find it a bit curious that the problem start happening on last day of 1.7.1.5 and not started on release from 1.7.2.

hey guys, so, i never had problems playing DayZ and i always use the latest updates and beta-patch. on sunday, i played a couple of hours with a friend of mine and as we wanted to play on monday, i always stuck on the "loading" screen with a bar which is filled. i'm able to hear in-game sound for about 1 sec, but then i'm stuck at the "loading"-screen and i can't press ESC to get out of it, i have to kill the arma2oa-process. i tried different servers, some were almost full, some were almost empty, but i always ended up stuck. at this time, i was using the latest DayZ-version with the 94444 beta-patch on a RETAIL arma 2 OA version. after 5-6 tries, i decided to change my CD-key of OA, because i have another one i bought pretty cheap a while ago. so i changed my CD-key and tried to join a server and it worked, so i guess it has to be a problem with my character, maybe corrupted data? so i played a bit with my other CD-key when suddenly 1.7.2 was released with another beta-patch. i downloaded DayZ 1.7.2 with the new beta-patch (94700) and tried to join a server with my OLD CD-key. but again, i got stuck at the "loading"-screen. yesterday, one day after that, i decided to give it a try again, i joined ~5-6 different servers but everytime got stuck at "loading" and everytime i had to use the task-manager to kill the arma2oa-process. so i don't know whats up with it, anyone got the same problem?

Yes, it's a cheat.

Was on the sniperhill north of stary with a few mates yesterday. Encountered 10 different ppl in ~3 hrs. Shot 4, my friends shot 2, 4 other disconnected. Pretty good at stary i think. :)

wtf man. five of my friends and i were at the NW airfield yesterday. four of my mates looted all the buildings and one mate and i were on the other side of the airfield with snipers supporting our mates. in about ~1:30 hrs we encountered six strangers, all from different directions on the airfield and everyone fucking disconnected as we were starting to shoot at these guys. someone even disconnected after he shot at us and missed. one guy got hit by us and disconnected while bleeding, the other ones disconnected as soon as we opened fire. in the end, we only got one guy which didn't disconnect as we were starting to shoot at him. this sucks. i know we should have aimed better at these guys, but it's fucking ridiculous.

Yes there are TP-hacks that allows the player to teleport anywhere on the map.

Hey, i'm asking if there is a way to find out on which server a player is currently playing, when the only thing you have is the username. I know there could be 100 different users with the same name, but is the in-game browser really the only way to check if a specific player-name is currently on a specific server? Maybe you know game-monitor.com or other web-plugins which shows some details of the server in a browser. I hope you guys get what i'm asking.

It's always dangerous to park your vehicles right next to your tents and it was the fault of the guy who used the horn, so you don't have to feel bad about it, not even a bit. And yea, it's really astonishing how often you meet other ppl, even if the map is 225 km² large.

But the vehicle should still be there, even if the players disconnected.
