same here (i think) *Where you were: N/A *What you were doing: being ingame while server restart *Current installed version:1.7.1.5 *Server you were on: chicago 32 *Timeline of events before/after error: i wanted to pick up a friend - so i started from our camp with motocross (in the camp were also: v3s truck, 2 (empty) tents, a uaz and a bicycle). when i was on about half of the way to my friend the server restarted. after restart i spawned back in our camp, all vehicles were still there. so i left to pick up my friend again and came back to our camp about 10 minutes later - now the v3s truck with some decent loot in it (nvg's, m107, gps units) and the uaz (with some jerrycans in it) were gone. its a pretty strange thing though. at first i thought the 2 vehicles were stolen by at least 2 guys. but its strange that this should have been happened when i was actually ingame on the server, just 10 minutes out with motocross to pick up a friend. the camp (actually inside map borders, not in wasteland) existed since about 2 weeks before that and during this incredibly long time obviously nobody discovered the camp and everything stayed in its place. so why should it be that the 2 vehicles got stolen in exactly this pretty short 10 minutes when i was omw with motocross? other strange thing is that the tents stayed where the were (still empty) and the bicycle also wasnt touched. --- maybe only vehicles and tents which actually had loot in them were concerned by these hive issues?

hi! today i put two filled alice packs in the trunk of my car. after several hours i came back to my car but the allice packs in the trunk were both empty then. is it generally possible to store completely filled backpacks in a vehicles trunk?

impressive video. for me its 100% evidence because on seattle 37 exactly the same shit happend to me and my 2 friends, as already written above. sadly nobody of the server admins and/or dayz devs seem to feel responsible for that. i expect nobody will punish these cheaters and they will have a nice future finding and using new exploits with their arma2 copy. neither someone seems to be able to confirm what these cheaters actually exploited. if its really because they used different game versions? or something else?

this seems to be a newer exploit there are several threads already since the last 2 days describing similar issues. could someone responsible please have an eye on this? here my post from yesterday "seattle 45 - hacker" thread. there the thread starter descirbed the same issue like me:

i already opened a thread few minutes before you describing exactly the same hacker incident on seattle 37. there the player "Jugzilla" respawned 2 times at stary sobor military hospital within about 2 minutes and killed me and one of my friends. my other friend killed him 2 times (it was displayed in chat that he was killed) but he respawned exactly in the same position like he was killed before after few seconds (in stary sobor which should be quite impossible). server: seattle 37 time: about 8:05 pm middle european time

hello! server: seattle 37 time: 8 pm (middle european time) incident: i was on seattle 37 with 2 friends, at the stary sobor military hospital. i was looting while my 2 friends gave backup. then the cheater came (name Jugzilla) and killed me. ok no problem - shit happens. my friend killed him afterwards with sniper. it was displayed in the chat "jugzilla was killed by friendly fire *my friends name*" or something like that. after about 30 seconds this same jugzilla guy respawned directly at the stary sabor military hospital and killed one of my friends. my other friend killed Jugzilla again - it was again displayed "jugzilla was killed by friendly fire *my friends name*" my last remaining friend stayed in his position for another minute and saw how this Jugzilla again respawned exactly at the stary sabor military hospital. please ban this fucker.

is that confirmed? if i have installed latest beta patch 93825 then it will not teleport me to debug forest or ocean when i put on camo?

what do these inventory specifications like 50/10/2 mean?

good question. i only have x64 systems here i cant test further.

check if you have a "battleye" folder in your steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\expansion directory. are there 5 files in this folder? if no > reinstall battleye via steam library > right click on arma 2:oa > reinstall battleye. if yes, download this file and replace the one in your steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\expansion\battleye directory with it. i hope this helps to fix your problem.

there are already like "several" threads concerning exactly this problem here, here, here or here.

he means steam library>arma 2:oa>properties>local files>verfiy game cache. after verifying, it always finds 1 file and replaces it, thats right, but this doesnt fix the fps problem. i think your fps just drops "randomly" like it is for me. when i close the game completely, restart it and then join a server (if iam SUPER LUCKY, of course, to manage this and find a server with an empty slot which at the same time doesnt get me stuck in the lovely "waiting for server response" afterwards), then, sometimes, i have NORMAL fps. then i can set graphics to very high and everything runs smoothly. BUT when i die, or when i change the server without restarting the whole game, then the fps ALWAYS drops to unplayable level. then i can change graphics settings to very low or very high, resolution 640x480 or 1920x1080, it all makes no difference. but it seems that it doesnt nessecarily has something to do with restarting the game. because it often happens for me that fps is at unplayable level after a fresh game restart. thats why i called the fps drops "randomly". think we have to wait for the devs to fix this..

fps is sometimes normal for me and sometimes i have heavy fps drops like many others. many people complain in the chat others say its normal for them. if i restart the game and connect a server then sometimes fps are normal. after i die or change to another server, fps drop to about 10 - so unplayable. thus restarting the game or changing servers sometimes helps to put fps to a normal level but often not. i dont see regularities behind this at the moment. i think iam gonna wait a few days before i try to play dayz again. i spent almost the whole last 2 days to play or, more often, to describe the problems i experienced during that time. all in all i was able to play maybe 2 or 3 hours in the last 2 days either because of "waiting for server response"-stuck, "receiving data"-stuck, heavy fps drops making up a slideshow, or simply just not finding a server with an empty slot left. hopefully the devs find a way to fix at least some of these problems because at the moment its almost impossible to play. even though the servers are still totally overflowing... :D

yeah as i experienced it the last few hours for me it depends on the daytime of a server. on all servers with nighttime my fps drop constantly to about 10 fps. doesnt matter if i change between very low or very high graphics settins - i have about 10 fps no matter which settings. on the daytime servers mostly it is running smoothly. sometimes i have to close the game and reconnect a daytime server to make it work.

i experience the same but i simply have to press "ok" and then it is loading as usual for me.

fps was nice for me in 1.5.8.4. when i tried 1.6. fps dropped heavily it was unplayable for me. after the 1.6.0.1 update at first the problem was fixed for me. fps was on normal level again. nicely playable in very high settings untill i was killed by a bandit. after i respawned on the same server the daytime switched instantly from night to day - this was already very strange because i never saw that before. but worse - after the respawn my fps dropped again to unplayable. in very few occasions fps is normal for me after i restart the game and connect to a server. but this happens not every time. when fps is normal and i die or respawn, fps drops instantly again. but the wheather is staing the same..

i did get the question on first server connect after updating to 1.6., i chose female, but nothing changed. still male survivor...

hi folks iam pretty new to this game, playing it since 4 days yet. i immediately remembered 2 older survival simulation games from the french developer silmarils when i first read about dayz and then got the first gaming experience. these older games are "robinsons requiem" released in 1994 i think and "deus" (not "deus ex") released in 1996. there are several gameplay videos on youtube for robinsons for example and for deus . does anyone of you remember these games?i loved these 2 games for the complexity of their survival mechanisms and was sad that no developer later ever released a game which was similar to these. dayz is the first game i got rid of which has at least some parallels. maybe some of the dayz-developers could play robinson and/or deus to get some new ideas for a medical/food/drinking/personal hygene system. the survival system of these two games are very comlex. you have for example like 20 different medical supplies like aspirin, painkillers, chinin to be able to take care about a huge variety of different diseases like cold or food poisoning. the environment in the games is very dangerous (like in dayz) and you can get diseases from a huge variety of different sources and in every occasion. if you for example drink water which wasnt cooked before you get stomach problems and if you dont care about it with medicine it becomes worse and worse over time and you can die from it. or if your leg is broken you need to find wood and bandages to make some leg splint out of it. otherwise you can only walk very slowly. and you also have to take care about your body temperature. if you are in a cold area you have to wear warm clothes like fur clothes which you of course need to make yourself before by hunting furry animals, skinning them and then combining their skin with needle and yarn. there are almost unlimited possibilities to play around with this deeply complex survival system. you can even amputate the arms or legs of your avatar if you got bitten by a poisonous animal you dont have antidote against. these are only some very few examples of all the possibilies in this game. at best you have to try the games yourself. the graphics are of course old today but the games are still very intersting and challenging. to implement all these options in dayz would be of course too much i think but maybe some developers can get some new ideas from these 2 old french games. how to make the survival system of dayz more comfortable to use, easier understandable and in a more attractive design with a seperate health care menu like in robinson or deus. so far, i hope you like my ideas. what do you think about it?

here is what i did and it worked for me to solve the "receiving data" stuck problem. 1) check game cache files via steam 2) check your \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion folder if BattlEye is installed properly (for me it was not - the BattleEye folder didnt exist) there have to be 5 files in that folder. 3) if the battleEye folder doesnt exist or there are files missing then reinstall it (in steam library right click on operation arrowhead > reinstall battleEye) 4) download this file http://battleye.com/downloads/arma2/BEClient.dll and replace the existing file in your \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye folder now i can at least join the servers :) my problem now is that this game is so fucking complex i think i will need days to grasp it.. but i already love the atmosphere in the first 5 minutes

iam new to the game and the forums. bought combined operations yesterday with a friend to play DayZ... we have installed v1.5.8.4. we experience exactly the same issue (of being not able to connect to servers - only receiving data up to ~80% and then stuck) and as far as i read in other threads on this forum and on other forums this problem happens because the dayz servers are running on their limits and cant handle all the players who want to connect at the moment. looks you dayz developers experience the same problems like blizzard with their diablo 3 the last days :D there are 3 solutions available as far as i knowbut i dont know yet if any of them work. 1) keep trying to connect to different servers and if it doesnt work after a few minutes try to connect to another server. sadly this is not a very satisfying solution. i have tried to connect several hours yesterday and didnt manage to get on any server. 2) it also may be a battleeye issue and it should be reinstalled manually or its dll file should be overwritten: http://www.battleye.com/downloads/arma2/BEClient.dll overwrite with this the one in your ArmA2OS/Expansions/BattleEye folder. 3) and lastly some tell that validating their game cache helped them. i will try if anything of these can help me later.
