Two minutes to late Disciple, never mind, nice one.

If you look at Magnets Video sticky in the 'Important Threads' you will find more than just videos ! I believe this may be of some help to your needs... http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html Thanks.

Please, would you just try using the seach button (tents) will do the trick. There is a troubleshooting forum section for this sort of problem and guess what, it's full of tents ! You may not find the answer that you want but the discussion can be continued in the correct place. Thanks...

Actually, I'm unable to see into the future but I've a preference for N° one.

Please calm down.

1: When changing your weapon I suggest you open your gear, drop the little pistol and then take the bigger pistol. (I never hit "enter" when prompted by the game). 2: When wearing a heavy backpack do not go swimming, you will drown or lose your gear. (this has always been a problem in ArmA) 3: Mostly true but I have managed to shake individual Z's off of my trail. I hope this will ease your pain and don't forget, this is an Alpha build, let's hope it gets beta... Thanks.

Well, this is an interesting experience I must say. Thanks.

I'll tempt the devil and say I have had no spawning or re-spawning problems but have suffered from massive FPS drops. The losing rounds in the charger problem is real for me. I have tried not reloading until the "clip" is empty but the count is wrong. Impressed, thanks.

Do servers allow this stuff Roccofaces and all ?

I believe that setting fog density has nothing to do with view distance, although your view will be reduced. You can try this in the ArmA2 Game Editor. Set your view distance in the graphic options and in the editor increase the fog scale. (I will check, just to make sure). As far as I know the fog and view distance are set in DayZ. Try it.

PM sent.

Was it the count that changed or how they spawned (to soon, to close) or both. I actually got used to the numbers and I have a slight suspision that it may have encouraged people to work more together. I say that because since the last alpha build "little pistol" killing has gone rampage (again). Thoughts...

Well I had a lot of trouble finding a decent weapon yesterday in the town of Chernagorsk. I stayed on the same server all day (got killed more times than ever before, btw). It became clear that something was not quite right. I'm going to check if it happens again, the only trouble is, if I manage to stay alive for a normal time-span (whatever that is), would that change how things spawn compared to repeatedly getting killed ? Thanks.

Server setting. Very useful for giving yourself a waypoint ôô.

Some places are darker than others. A moonless cloud covered night in Chernarus for example, you won't see one step ahead of you.

Same here, nearly, 2 bandits and one guy who tried to shoot me. I do not like getting shot by someone who does not ask my name or if I'm friendly. So what to do ? Shoot everybody on sight, hmmm, that would make me a bandit or even worse an arsehat. If you have decided to be a murderer, thats ok but do not expect justice from me, I will shoot you on sight. The humanity judge was a good idea imho.

Look for the "step over" key. If you can't do it from one direction try the other, usually works.

can anybody confirm such fps-drops ? Something going on, others in the server noticed when the server reset.

Well, maybe I'm just having a bad dayZ but I've been killed about 8 times today by err, little pistols. I find the new back-pack system works well. Still haven't found any antibiotics.

You need some wood, matches to light a fire, a knife to cut up your steaks. Go hunting...

Did you miss the part where I said a bug keeps re spawning people on the beach? It obviously doesn't matter where you save. Not so much a bug, the Master server has been reset a few times this week. Be happy, you spawn with your gear.

eight pints and a packet of crisps, please.

Depends on server settings. Some have map tags on, some have tags off. Some have cross hairs off with 3rd person view on. Some have permanent enemy data on, friendly tags off. Look Regular/Vetran or in between.
