Did you buy it on Steam or is it a retail version? Also, do you run DayZ Commander as Administrator? That might be necessary in order to update Arma as it's a separate setup-program.
-
whoops, you ninja'd me. You can install the beta patch in DayZ Commander. When you click the Install / update button and the new window appears you'll have three options: Updating Dayz Commander at the top. Then directly below it is the option to install the Arma 2 beta patches, there's a list of versions you can choose from. I installed the latest myself but as Fluxley pointed out, there's apparently bugs in it so you might go one version lower. Below that are the different DayZ-versions you can install.

When you run DayZ Commander, click on Install / update (top right of the window) and install the Arma 2 patch and download DayZ if necessary (just click the Install buttons).

DayZ Standalone Helmet Idea
badluckburt replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
So many pretty colours, I just had to give you beans :) I also like your idea. -
I don't know why but I pictured R. Lee Ermey when I read that. I agree that the font isn't the nicest but to change is such an easy thing to do that I'm not worried at all.

DayZ Standalone Helmet Idea
badluckburt replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
How would you work that metal into a helmet if it isn't preshaped? If it stops a bullet, it's going to be pretty thick so to shape it into a helmet, you'd have to heat it considerably. I do like the idea of headgear obscuring part of your view though, this guy Darknut made a mod for Morrowind that did just that. The game has some crazy medieval helmets where you only look through a slit, not good for claustrophobics. And really, no-one posted this one? -

Am I the only one that thinks this thread deserves to be stickied? Orlok's doing some pretty amazing stuff here and I'd hate to see it end up on any page other than 1.

BIS's engine can't be compared to 'normal' game-engines as it's doing a lot more behind the scenes. I only get 20-25 at most in multiplayer so I'd love to have your framerate. I doubt there's anyone running Arma 2 or DayZ at a constant 60+ FPS so if I were you, I'd just settle for what you have right now. Chances are you'll get closer to the FPS you're looking for when the SA comes out.

Why can't I play DayZ? Require assistance!
badluckburt replied to sheepdawg's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
OP, do you have this mod installed? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=5858 Anyway, try starting up DayZ through DayZ Commander and going back to the main menu. Check under Expansions which mods you have activated, if the GLT LHD is one of them, de-activate it and try again. -
That avatar is creepy as hell. I swear it's eyes are following me.

Camping under water
badluckburt replied to landwarrior tactical's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I tried that one time but nobody came :( except for zeds, who blew my cover because when they swim over you they don't leave anymore. -
They should put in some books by HP Lovecraft. Nice campfire stories, especially for kids.

Why is dean more active on Reddit then on the official forums?
badluckburt replied to Felixthefriendlycat's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Maybe Rocket has brony phobia? I do think Dancing Russian Man and the backwards God Soldier are right though. -
If diarrhea is implemented something will run automatically :o

How will DayZ Standalone be sold?
badluckburt replied to sirsetras's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
EA is great - we're not worthy. -
Only 50.000 keys? With my luck, I just know I'm not getting one. Well, I hope that closed alpha-period doesn't take too long :)

[SA] Gun lubrication to prevent jams
badluckburt replied to Felixthefriendlycat's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
We should make Google point to this thread when someone googles for the meaning of 'must-have'. I do believe this will be in the initial release as Dean has talked about this alot in interviews and it would add so much depth to the game when 'weaker' guns can be better than the 'stronger' ones. -

I'm afraid my power does not extend beyond mere mortals. -edit but I do agree, everyone should have their own Orlok :D -

Suggestion: Hunting Snares and Traps
badluckburt replied to Thom Curry's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Don't underestimate idiots (like me) but fortunately what you say is true for most humans. Spiked pits would hurt like hell though, they also qualify for hunting traps when properly concealed. Being able to make a trap that launches a spear when sprung would be quite neat as well but that might be going beyond what's possible in the Arma engine. -
Why should it be able to attract casual gamers since the goal is not to make money, as long as the costs are eventually paid for by sales? Certain games just don't offer the gameplay those people are looking for. Just like the games they play don't offer me what I'm looking for. In no way should DayZ be dumbed down to attract casual gamers because that basically means cutting and dumbing down features to appeal to a larger audience.

Suggestion: Hunting Snares and Traps
badluckburt replied to Thom Curry's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
If this is implemented, please make sure that players can spring the traps as well. I don't know how many times I've died in Fallout from rigged shotguns but it was worth it. -
Somewhere I like the general idea but the implementation would have to be different in my opinion: never ever indicate to the player that your character is going insane - just let them see and hear things, that way you won't know what's real anymore. The only problem I see is that not everybody goes insane from the same things. You can lock one person in a room with Mariah Carey-music playing non-stop for 24 hours and they might come out fine, put me in there and I'll come out like Norman Bates.
