Thanks for the feedback everyone. :) I would like to echo what Jcoulombe311 said:

I have an idea which I feel could be implemented into DayZ quite easily, providing a new dynamic to it. What I would like to suggest is the addition of some kind of formidable creature, not necessarily a zombie, that appears in locations such as remote woodlands on rare occasions. This creature could be based off of something like Bigfoot, having a lot of health and being able to deal a lot of damage to players which it comes across. As an incentive, the creature could have meat on its corpse which heals a large amount of blood, such as 6000, and completely satisfies the player's hunger. If you've ever played Namalsk before, that randomly appearing, sometimes invisible, monster would be what I want you to have in mind. (I believe it's called a 'Bloodsucker'). Here's a picture of it: http://imageshack.us/a/img18/7505/arma2oa2012121715112154.jpg I feel that by adding this, there will be an added threat of journeying across Chernarus, adding some more fear factor to the game. As well as this, the meat could be considered a rare and highly sought after item because of its healing benefits, making it a commodity for trading. A further benefit to this would be that it provides players, who are already kitted out, something to do and gives them a little quest to attempt. Perhaps the encounter could only occur once or twice per server, until it restarts, resetting the number. I welcome any comments and feedback on the idea.

Hey PathFinders, I have the same problem, also running Windows 8. This issue occurs when exiting ArmA II also so I do not believe it is DayZ / DayZ Commander related but in fact to do with the program itself. You do not need to reboot, just keep clicking the troubleshooter. If it doesn't fix it within 10 seconds, cancel and try again. It will eventually work.

Don't be stupid.

When you're a Hero your character's skin changes to blue jeans, a chequered shirt, a cap and he will also have a vest which is resistant to 9mm bullets such as Makarov and Glock 17. Apparently Heroes also sprint faster and for longer distances.
