I dont know the process for steam but if you have the dvd version: Install game off DVD and patch the game to the latest version Download and install the beta patch Download all of the dayz mod files from this site. Find your arma2 folder and create a new folder '@dayz' inside this @dayz folder create a folder called 'addons' unzip all of the .pbo's and dayz.bisign's from the various Dayz downloads into the addons folder. make a new shortcut on your desktop. In the location of the item: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@DayZ including the " " 's When there is an update... download the new files again off this site and unzip them into your @dayz/addons folder overwriting the existing files. Hope this helps.

I agree.. its good that you can loose the zeds. (with a bit of practice) Im fine spawning without a weapon. Its just. the zeds are too uber. the zeds need to be more like they were in v1.6 regarding their agro range, sight and hearing. canned food and drinks should be difficult to find, but knives and matches should be less rare so we can feed ourselves with a little effort hunting

Good stuff: No pistol.. fair enough. Been able to hide from zombies.. kewl. BAD STUFF: Zeds have super spidy sense. they can see thru walls and houses. Attack range is huge. Not good if you have no weapon. If you shoot a weapon... Zeds come from miles around. I shot 60 zeds.. 2xclips of AK and still got eaten.. very bad.. because if there was not 60 zeds in the village (5-6 houses and a barn).. Id of seen them. In closing.. theres no point in me playing this mod until the next fix. Im just not enjoying it. If the above isnt fixed.. I'll delete @dayz.

I commented on a similar post: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7579&pid=70657#pid7065 7 So if you shoot or are engaged. You activate a 2min aggro timer. With the timer activated, if you disconnect your entity will remain in game. How long it keeps you there is open for the devs to determine. but the idea is... you cant just shoot or be shot at and insta-vanish on D/C. it would give some looting time when you are dead. No timer active.. you vanish instantly as normal.

I too was an Eve-Online player. and something similar would work here. A 2 minute aggro timer.. so if you shoot you activate the timer. With the aggro timer active you will remain in world for 2 mins after you disconnect. No aggro timer you vanish as normal

You are dead... but including the red hand.
