Yes there is. Except it's not public (yet?) so if you want to play there, head over to http://balotabuddies.net/page/articles.html/_/public-resources/server-requirements-and-rules-r12 to get whitelisted. If you ask because of your US ping times, I live in the Netherlands and have 150ms to the BB US servers so depending on where you're from, it might not be too bad :)

It all depends on how they implement the mechanic. If the engine stores your line of sight the moment you press the key to open your inventory (before the animation starts) and uses that to determine what you can pick up, that problem's solved. As for the LoS under a bed, if they add a crouch animation where you move your head towards the ground so you can look under stuff there should be no problems getting them beans!

One scope to rule them all

Thanks, the US box is fine, I can play there. The AUS servers all have 350-400 ping for me, that's the only reason I asked :)

We should all not shave until it arrives. Will it be a US or UK server? AUS ping kills me. I will definitely join up otherwise.

I want to see them all burn, just imagine.

Thanks Fluxley, you made my day!

Brilliant, my luck strikes again. Bought this weekend: Private Military Company DLC - check British Air Force DLC - check Arma: CWA - check But it went to a good cause :D

- edit Argh, I can't find it anymore. I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere last week but just ignore what I said please.

He does not have it on Steam.

It's the first sentence in his OP.

I'm afraid there's not much anyone can do then. I believe the CD-keys are stored in the registry so you could probably get them from there. You could always try what happens if you pop in the installation discs though, maybe it will give you the option to 'repair' the installation as certain setup programs do but that's usually business software and not games.

Did you try reinstalling it? It seems that PBO got truncated somehow if it's only 92KB instead of 349MB.

Maybe with the crafting system, we can whip up something like:

You can already kill without hurting other players, people kill each other because they enjoy the challenge of fighting another human being instead of some AI. I hope Rocket sticks to his guns and never adds NPC's. There is no way in hell that NPC's can add more than actual human beings with the ability to improvise.

That is your problem but it doesn't make you less wrong when you say you bought DayZ. As for playing it, I think you need a new machine.

I thought you meant those wind-up egg-timers but I like the idea anyway. It makes for some nice tactical distraction and I can already see people setting the timer and dropping them in someone's backpack :P

Agreed. The birds have been around for a while since the infection so they will have figured out that the infected don't attack them. I do think a gunshot in a give-or-take 30m radius would cause them to disperse wether they're on a rooftop or not. I frequently have pigeons on my balcony and when I start making noise that's out of the ordinary, they take off.

I agree that if you get too close, they should fly away but there is a slight problem. Birds on a roof wouldn't fly off if you sneak by, those on the ground would but the ones on the roof probably see no reason to. If you were to come running to where they are, they could start squawking and when you come too close fly off. Then when you've got your infected friends with you they would definitely fly off with all the noise they're making, same goes for shooting.

It's a very good suggestion. Somebody suggested the same about food a few days ago: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/137368-sa-how-much-you-consume-with-food-items/page__hl__rationing It would be nice to have a mechanic like this where you can actually share your last can of beans with a buddy.

That's the first mission from the PMC dlc. It's also in the lite-version as a demo. I'm all for this kind of interaction but I don't think the birds should be startled if you're sneaking or crawling, they usually get spooked by wild movement and loud noises.

Nice! Glad you got it fixed. I mostly play on Balota Buddies nowadays, fellow mustachio Steak is a moderator there and the community is great. I only go on the public servers when I feel like goofing around but we can definitely hook up sometimes. If you prefer public servers, I'll install Skype as I do not have it at the moment but should you decide to join BB we can get down in Teamspeak.

If the manual install of BattlEye doesn't resolve the problem, you can also try the setup program for BattlEye. It's located in the following folders: \Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2\BEsetup \Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\BEsetup Chances are that running it from your user-account will allow the installation to go through. - edit I have to step out for a bit and I'm almost out of ideas anyway but I found this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/130316-bad-version-server-rejected-connection-help/ You might want to make sure that you're actually running the OA beta. When you have the 'Bad version server rejected' message on the main menu screen check in the top right if it says Arma 2 beta. If it doesn't, you're running the regular version. I'll check back when I return. Good luck!

Do the filepaths point to C:\Program Files (x86)\etc? I think you may be having problems with Microsoft's glorious UAC. I never install anything to the default directories because of it.

You would need to right-click your Dayz Commander shortcut and select Properties. Under the Compatibility-tab you can check Run as Administrator. Also, try going into Settings in DayZ Commander and check the file paths to your Arma 2 and OA directories.
