Any time BattlEye updates it will replace the beclient.dll file on your computer. Norton, like most anti-virus programs, has what is called 'heuristic detection' which analyses a file and can look for some generic behaviours and pointers that could hint at the file being malicious. Any file that uses a global hook to access another application (In this case, DayZ) will often flag false-positive on your anti-virus. It will probably have detected it as a win32.SomethinginHere.trojan.gen or .downloader.gen (or whateer the generic marker is for Norton) - nothing to worry about though. __ If you are worried it could be malicious you can download the latest legit beclient.dll direct from BattlEye here: http://www.battleye.com/download.html

There's your problem. You're using Norton. beclient.dll is BattlEye, Norton is just being a bit of a spaz.

No, you aren't. I understand base building gives more of an 'end game' but something that is permanent and persists through your death, to me, isn't really what DayZ was meant to be about. Aiding players to do the whole 'Die, run back to base, regear, join the fight' shouldn't be encouraged and I feel that base-building will push players to stockpile weapons all at once rather than playing the 'early. game (From spawn to acquisition of military loot).

Stupid enough to hack. Too stupid to work out how to install the game again. What. A. Moron.

Players will always be the bigger threat. Zombies should be a big threat, BUT.. Zombies will always be predictable in their actions, other players can do one of a million things in reaction to an event.

Goodness gracious great wall of text!

Both gaudy colours, RUN AWAY CAPS LOCK and Comic Sans. Do you hate us all THAT much?

Since the main development team no longer work on the mod (Mod is community run) nothing will happen to those that break any the public server rules. Stupid, if you ask me.

Pssssht, media tags for all! [media] Link in here [/media]

If you entered a competition to win your weight in gold it would definitely be advantageous if you were a fatty. __ The idea isn't good though, the good thing about DayZ is that it's meant to be down to individual skill, not how long you've played (although it will play a factor), adding more RNG doesn't make it any better.

It's in alpha, what are you expecting? If it's finished it wouldn't be an alpha - instead of whining, you can wait til it's out on beta release or retail release and then you can drive around Chernarus 'til your hearts content. Nobody is forcing you to get the standalone while it's in alpha, if you don't like it without vehicles, don't buy it - it's a pretty simple concept, I feel. I'd rather they properly redid the vehicles than putting in old vehicles or rushing it and making a crappy job of it.

Eh..? This is possibly the WORST thing that could happen and the complete opposite of what they're working towards. Terrible looking UI anyway, tut tut.

As more of the kiddies and deathmatch CoD players join, the more they whine, the more they get their way. Hopefully Rocket at least sticks with his guns instead of dumbing everything down 'for the community'.

You do NOT lost humanity for killing a bandit. If you attack a hero or another survivor you WILL lose humanity. Humanity does NOT disappear when you die, it persists through death and you will spawn with whatever humanity you had previous to being killed.

My personal opinion (and the general consensus) tends to be: It's not against the rules but it is against the spirit of the game. There is no way to stop it and it does give enough of an advantage to mean that you generally have to use it also to remain properly competitive.

Well, a lot of players do develop Tourette syndrome when you shoot at them..

I've used one, I'm pretty sure it was the first one although I cannot recall, you'll have to wait and see if anyone else has - they used to be quite popular so I doubt it will take long.

It's a custom map/gametype. http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=14616 EDIT: http://kronzky.info/targetrange/index.htm is another one.

Yes, it is stupid - I can guarantee it won't continue the patch after, it's pretty stupid, removing it was one of the better choices they made with the mod.

...why?

It will be the same as current, you have to have actively 'highlighted' the loot spot (Cursor actively over it, objects WILL block it)

1) No. You die, you lose your stuff, that's the entire point of the game. It's not easy, it's not meant to be - dying is to be avoided. There is no progression, your progression is your life, if you die, you are done, it's not WoW, if you want to progress, don't die. If you want to practice with weapons, go play a bit of Arma II or Arma II:OA, they have a popular 'gun range' type mode where you can practice your shot as well as the main game where you can shoot others. 2) No comment. 3) Most servers have Side Chat turned off, Side Chat is a Global Chat, use '/' while in game though. 4) Yup.

For the mod nothing should happen, it's not being sold as a product and I really can't seem them doing anything about a community run mod. For the Standalone I can imagine there being problems if there aren't any permissions, I'm pretty sure they are creating Chernarussian brands for SA to avoid all of that.

It will 100% be in the standalone. The standalone is released through Steam which has a built-in screen capture tool. Not sure if it will be easily implementable for the mod though, although there are plenty tools out there that can do it for you.

We don't like your kind around here, Bats.
