arma 2 beta patch

it is a mechanism to stop people server hopping. if you jump around quickly, say to camp high value spawn locations across multiple servers, you spawn in unconscience.

the loot is sometimes dropped in strange places due to limitations of enterebale buildings. its not just inside, sometimes in the little front door alcoves, on the grass under little wood rooves etc etc. check out sites like dayz wiki, and look up dayz maps etc.

I have the exact same issue. I played through arma 2 mission in chernarus campaign for 3 hours without issue, i then loaded up dayz and boom it starts strobing straight away. It is definatley dayz or the beta patch. Trouble is I only just started running in crossfire, and the issue started as soon as i installed my new 2nd card, I have for the longest time thought it was an arma 2 and crossfire issue, but now i think beta/dayz. when i turn crossfire off the issue stops. i7 quad on x79 gigabyte ud3 mb 8gb ram 1600 mghz and 2 x HD 6970 in xfire.

Mine flashes then goes dark. Seemingly only when i enable crossfire. Just played 2 hours of arma with no issues, booted up dayz with beta and boom - flashing occurs.

Hasn't it been stated many times that bans aren't handed out from picking up weapons or getting in abandoned vehicles???

there are three types of people in this world: We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit! moral, don't be a pussy. log back in and this time don't fucking wander in cherno without a weapon... I mean Jesus!

Needs more range and a scope 2-300m. Plus better ammo management. We need more varitey in viable weapons to enrich things a little.

very thorough and long. found some great links from this too.

I must admit tank traps/wire/sandbags add virtually nothing to the game. bye bye hopefully.

No log out in towns. For dropped connections, move respawn to nearest designated spawn location in wilderness.

Is it possible to disable? I see people in chat die, then die again, then die again... Some may be legit but the vast majority want to get to cherno/elektro for easier loot. This must be putting strain on servers, muddying the statistics with which you judge the game, and kind snaps everyone out of the illusion that you're not in a game (this is one of the best features of dayz). Solution: 1) Prevent respawn button from doing anything. or 2) Introduce the death timer with appropriate logic. 3) Remove the coast spawn and have people spawn all over the map, forcing people to orientate (actually I prefer this one as it would also stop snipers camping the coast and the problems of the deathmatch southern coast would go away).

agreed- but add a player disconnected message?

They already have military ammo on them sometimes. Anything else would be too easy street.

I sencerely hope the OPs wishes are ignored.

I think driking directly from water sources is the most immersive of the solutions. I like not spawning with a water bottle.

Zeds are too easy man. I love the idea of increasing their gunshot range, but having an investigate state before full aggro. I love the idea of making the large cities no go areas without friends and serious hardware. Think walking dead series 1. I hate the bugs that I am sure will be sorted (hitting through walls, slowing down when entering buildings). I hate their zig zagging - arma2 engine cant handle this and you are forced to run into buildings to exploit zombie entering building bug.

Some people are damaged and just want to burn the world. essentially the cowardly bully mentality.

I hope the zeds eventually become more than pointless annoyances. I'm sure they will, but I have to give my feedback in the alpha. Please buff the game so there is more than just PvP.

i leave as soon as i see side chat not disabled. who wants to see the verbal diahorrea people spew. could increase the range of direct chat. i'm a little scared to run riht up to people to say friendly. 30M - 40M would be better.

Dont want to sound elitist but I think it is too easy. I can pretty much crouch run everywhere except on tarmac. Too easy to run straight past zeds. Its gonna go back to deathmatch due to boredom. except the not starting with a pistol will probably stop the old DM levels.

bump - still blinding me. Anyone heard of a fix? Got any ideas?

No profiles hasnt worked :(

Shutdown and restart. I had this yesterday and restarting fixed it.

it certainly will if you try join a server with the new beta installed.
