Serova (DayZ)

I had this too: - Bought ArmA 2. (Had this problem aswell with the free version though I dont know if the problem lays here) - Installed it in the standard folder (which should be C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 - 32bit or 64bit doesnt matter). - Downloaded DayZ and the latest beta patch. - Downloaded and installed Arma launcher http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?89731-ArmA-2-Game-Launcher. - Drag the addons from the left box into the right one and be sure they're under Group 1 and checked. - Execute everything as admin and check the box 'Launch as Beta' under optioons.

Unplayable for me aswell. Had playable FPS with the 1.6.0 patch though 1.6.0.1 made it worse. Also it came to my attention I lagg alot on a DayZ server compared to a normal multiplayer server or singleplayer.

Yes, I hope there's a fix asap!

Some people got frame rate drops others dont. Just wait till it gets fixed hopefully. A thread dedicated to it: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5010

It's due the new update (1.5.8.2). It is server side.

Very well, too bad some not able to handle admin privileges caused the patch to be delayed. Can't wait hope the new clothing system is in it!

Looks like someone got owned.

Close all servers -> Update -> Open all servers. Though let Rocket do his thing, it will come out eventually.

I'm sorry but players shouldnt be punished because of a path they choose. Also for people who have -20k humanity I doubt they'll ever get a positive humanity again. So, no.

Playing this currently with a friend we're both from the gmt+1 timezone. Still looking to partner up with a few survivors, drop me a PM.

It's always more fun playing with a couple of guys. Currently playing this with my friend though I wouldn't mind to play together with you. We both use Skype and can speak English fluent. Add me on steam and we'll talk once I'm home! http://steamcommunity.com/id/serova/ (I only got 0.3 hours of playtime on Steam but I played alot more, It's because my ARMA II is Non-Steam and I have to launch it via the ARMA II launcher)

Lovely video, enjoyed it. Nice raid

Interested in joining as we're almost all in the same time zone, I'm from Belgium. Add me on steam Jordy_wvl got a working mic and TS or skype whatever you prefer! Looking forward to play with you guys soon!

Sure I wanna help you set it up. I've been looking for a European clan. I could setup a private forum aswell and such. Drop me a PM and we'll discuss the idea got a mic and Skype - TS aswell. I got a friend from Western-Europe who's willing to join this aswell.

No monthly fee you'll lose ALOT of players if you make such choice including myself. I don't think monthly fee is required to keep the servers running it's not a MMO.

I enjoy the fact it's very hard to find usefull gear, it does make the game more interesting. I however support your point on adding more slots to the backpack, the ammo you can take is a little bit too less, in real life you could put more in a backpack then the current system holds.

Zombies are a joke? A zombie killed me last night I feel like a noob now..

No, I prefer to play in 3d person. Though all servers should disable the fact you can spot other survivors range and name by moving your crosshair on them, a few already got it disabled.

I seem to fixed the problem and can play the mod now without any problems. I reinstalled ARMA 2 with a legal serial key this time patched with the patches from Gamershell, 1.01 -> 1.05 -> 1.11. Updated BattleEye -> C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\BattlEye swap the files with these ones http://www.battleye.com/download.html This fixed the problem for me. Your patches can be corrupt though it will still display the updated patched version on the bottom right when you launch the game. Just re-install and use patches from another site (Gamershell recommended) and update battleye also execute everything as Administrator.

I have the EXACT same problem as you, if I launch via steam using the 'Launch Combined Operations' a command prompt pops up closes two seconds afterwards and the game successfully launches. HOWEVER when trying to enter a server I get the error 'You cannot play/edit this mission deleted.chernarus' something like that. This is annoying and trust me I tried EVERYTHING. I've been spending two days finding a solution for this. Also Sixupdater detected my installation yesterday as Combined Operations.. today it only detects Operation Arrowhead (standalone).. Not to mention I bought ARMA only to play this mod. EDIT: I can join other servers which require both ARMA 2 and OA, also I can enter a DayZ Server till the moment I click 'Go' then it loads and kicks me out a few seconds later.

A faction system would be lovely, though I do not wish to see bases setup across the map. Instead of a survival game this will just create a huge DM and raid fest on every server.

Yes scrap them. It will create more realism. I would love to see a system where you can pick a skin yourself.

A safe spot (such as a city or a controlled trade spot) takes away the no-hope atmosphere this game is offering. I suggest not to do this.
