    Game won't launch

    Hello, I've tried searching for a solution on google, reddit, steam and here and haven't found anything that helps me. I click on play, it says battleye has started, launching the game then it just resets the message to "Ready to Play - Steam is online." Nothing happens. I've verified the game files and tried launching the game from the .exe files in the directory and they don't seem to start at all. I've also tried disabling the anti cheat program and downloaded Visual C++ latest but to no avail.

    The Quick Question Thread

    Why can I only see experimental / unstable servers currently?(like, only 4 of em as well)? I read somewhere that from a certain time only those will be available, but can someone explain more further, and when the stable ones will return? Thanks.
  3. Depends on the host of the server you're going to play on.

    My unlikely KOS hero

    I don't trust anyone either, it's what more often than not keeps you alive. Though it really depends, sometimes it's nice to have a group. But yeah, being a lone wolf and sometimes coming across people to give you a blood transfusion is nice :) OT: How does he: A. Go through walls B. Shoot through walls Obvious hacker I assume? I mean he shot 2 guys through probably 10 different walls who were inside of the church. Kind of weird how that didn't look weird to you. I too, find it hard to believe you thought it wasn't hacking that a guy was running through walls and shooting people from miles across the map...?

    Survival by begging and stealing only, no looting

    No worries, I won't make videos off of it, even if I did, I'd mention you for sure! Also, I tried this and the first guy I met with an M4 I asked for food, shot me on sight. Keep in mind i had literally -nothing- on me, not even a shirt :I

    Survival by begging and stealing only, no looting

    Good to hear, I'm excited about this. Seems like an interesting twist of the usual 'story' people go by(looting). EDIT: I hope you don't mind but I'm totally stealing this idea.

    hygiene

    Maybe if you don't take care of your hygiene your clothes start to decay.
  9. I heard there are no zombies currently little amounts of zombies so it's easier for the dev team to make tests and whatnot.

    New Spawnlocations

    I'm actually quite annoyed spawning around that east coast all the darn time. But, it does make it -sort of- harder to get the better loot / get to the bigger cities(Cherno, Elektro...) So far I've never been to Kamenka, furthest I've gotten was Balota. Got KoS'd
  14. He didn't delete them, it's an error that usually pops up because of the militay hat thingy.
  15. I would like for them to take time to open doors of certain buildings(As in, until they ram them down let's say.) I hate that they can go through it / open it. At least give some time and let them fight through them, and then let them open it :c
  16. I hate KoS, (not the forum user, he's epic). But I'm a complicated person. I love sniping people from a distance myself, providing that they have proper gear and they aren't just fresh spawns. What I dislike is when I make contact with someone that is obviously one meter away, and he just instantly goes to shoot me. That's what I dislike. I see no issue here, you need gear and he had it. + He was running on the street so yeah, tough luck for him.
  17. Honestly, I've been finding myself to spawn 99% of the times in either Berezino or Solnichny. It's driving me mad, I haven't been to Cherno yet, not to mention Kamenka u.u'

    paintings in chernarus

    Quite lovely art work ;o
  21. I'll impart some things that I found useful, and some that aren't as useful but good to know. A couple of cities you should be aware of, that are most likely filled with players are the following: Zelenogorks Novy Sobor Berezino Cherno Elektro Those are some of the cities I found to be the most visited so far. Source is my personal knowledge. Those cities are generally good loot spots if you know how to work yourself around the map. Stay out of the main roads and work your way behind and in between houses as much as you can. Before entering any interior make sure the exterior around you, I.E the perimeter is clear and safe. Any zombies around? Kill them if they are at a reasonably close distance to avoid future conflict with them if you are in a pickle. Make a routine to safely but fully loot the entire of the town. Take your time planning it out if you want to do it smart. You could always just rush it and risk getting killed. Get to a high spot around the town to make sure you've everything in sight and scope around the town, see from what side you think it would be the best to hit from. Inventory system can be messy if you've no OCD like some people. Generally try to get one of the 35 slots backpacks if you want to get good loot with yourself really. Make sure to split your rations, in a fifty fifty manner so you've no less food / water and no excess food / water. One or two full medkits are always handy to have. A screwdriver can be vital as you will need it to open certain tins of food. Cornflakes or rice are pretty good since you get a lot of food from it, look out for those. Avoid rotten food, use it only when the last of your healthy reserve rations expire. Once you've gotten set on rations and health, it's time to /step/ up your game and head towards the direction of 'proper' gear. I'm thinking a pistol to fit inside of your jacket with 2 mags of ammo as a last-case scenario back up weapon. Either used against small fish like zombies or if your primary weapon of choice runs out of ammo. Currently there are 3-4 types of weaponry in game, disregarding the ax, shovel et cetera. A shotgun, an M4 Carabin and a Mosin. I forgot the 4th but I believe it was a sawn-off. Choosing between them can vary on your personal choice, personality and general coincidence of finding one of the three. An M4 can be quite a useful weapon, providing you've enough mags for it and the proper attachments, such as the scope. I find a mosin more to my liking as you can get a pretty 'nifty' scope for it and it generally one shot kills people / zombies. Alright, so you've got your gear and whatnot. What next to do? Head back south. There are two or three options you can pull off if you decide to go south. 1.) Banditry A.) - There's the first version of banditry, the generally frowned upon banditry so to say. You head south and equip your weapon, if you have a mosin go to a sniper hill north east of elektro and snipe bambies in search for rations or just pleasure of killing people. A total dick class to choose, but a one not too rare. B.) - There's the second version of banditry in which you choose the more risky on. Risky in exposing yourself to death very easily as you are a bandit. You get a pair of cuffs, find your victim and aim at them. Explain to them you are going to shoot them immediately /IF/ they do turn around and strike against you, doing a counter-move for self defense. You thereby shoot them as they neglected your orders. If they comply, ask them to pull their hands up and cuff them. Steal their loot and leave them be, without killing them. You could kill them, but that would look like the first version of banditry rather than this one. 2.) Heroism A.) Go south and help people in any way possible. 3.) Stealth approach A.) Stay in the shadows along the coast, in the treeline and observe what is going on until you decide which option to choose and its sub-option. It's getting late now, 23;00 and I'm really tired. I hope this helped in any sort of way mate :) E: Hit me up on PM's if you need any more help, we could play together as well but I've limited time due to my studies ;)
