I was questioning that too, but the standalone looks like it will be delayed a lot longer, especially after what happened with War Z and Rocket being all stressed out. I bought Arma 2: CO cause it was on sale on steam. In the end, you still get Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA. Plus, since it will probably be very similar sine it's on a similar engine, at least you learn how to play and learn the maps.

I've found that sneaking into town is a lot easier than leaving it undetected by the zombies. I currently just left a town and when I re-logged in to where I was before I left it just said Chernarus and Factory. After the factory I climbed some ladders and ran around on some metal bridges and a roof and climbed another ladder to be on some factory thing that was even higher. It was a really industrial looking area. I'm not sure which direction I ran and it was dark...but I'm currently near a barn that I scavenge through and scavenged through some big looking hangar near it. Does anyone know what I'm near? I was chased out by zombies so I didn't have time to look for a sign. I've tried to look at the maps and figure out where I am...I'm guessing Cherno, but I'm not sure? Also, when I watch youtube videos people are running around in daylight through cities and on roads like it's nothing and get 1 or 2 zombies chasing them. I go prone, avoid zombies, in the day time and I still attract them from far away even in grass. Not only that, I'd try to lose them around a corner or up a steep hill and they still chase me pretty far before they quit. People take one bullet to kill something and I've emptied more than a clip into one zombie to kill them. Every building I find that has an entrance also has at least 3 zombies around it or in it. It seemed so much easier to play on youtube. I'm always spawning and being immediately chased by a zombie or two too. So by the time I lose them in the mountains from steep hills I'm already lost. If I try to lose them by running to buildings to go through or around sharp corners, I just end up attracting more that won't get off my tail.

How do I validate the install on steam? I bought it straight from steam with their winter sale so does that matter? -
Thanks for the tips guys...the only problem is I don't know where those places are because I can't find a map. =[ I found matches once when I found the map.

I get this error on a lot of servers when I'm trying to connect. I have Arma 2: CO on Steam and its fully installed there. I've also gone into the Arma 2 OA folder in Steam and ran the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch." I use DayZ Commander and everything under Install/Update is up to date. Yet A LOT of the servers on the list do not work for me. Under Install/Update the Arma 2 version is 99515 and DayZ is 1.7.4.4 I know some servers have different versions and that may be why, but some of the servers that have the same version of Arma 2 and DayZ also don't work for me. For example, the server this clan is on also does not work for me: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/112001-foxhunt-herosthe-fhh-are-recruiting-bambi-lovinganti-bandit-clan/ I've added the server to my favorites and on the name and under the version column, the version for both Arma 2 and DayZ match mine. Does anyone know how to correct this problem? Thanks!

Just started playing a day ago and I've been able to scavenge a lot. I even found a ghillie suit on the first character I made. I've found a bunch of crossbows, shotguns, revolvers, pistols, automatic rifles, and even several frag grenades. The one thing that I've had difficulty in finding is a canteen or drinks of any kind. I've found soda twice and was close to dying of thirst each time with the thirst symbol blinking for awhile until I found it. Same with food...I've found maybe two cans of beans. I've found many animals, but I haven't found one hunting knife. Just seems a little unrealistic to me to find so many guns and so few knives. Also seems unrealistic that I can't cut meat off a kill with my hatchet. That and the fact that I can't drink water from a fresh water source with my hands to quench thirst. I'm having fun, but I'm finding that I die more due to the lack of access to water and food, even though it's right in front of me in other forms, but my Day Z self is too idiotic to know how to cup his hands for water or cut meat with a hatchet. Any tips on finding water and food more easily? Or maybe a canteen or hunting knife? P.S. I've also only found one map, but was sniped soon after, so I don't recognize towns and cities yet since I never know where I am. Maps are pretty hard to find too.
