I don't know what happened but the servers before DayZ use to announce when someone changed their name.

Hacker hacks. BattlEye reports hacks, updates to block hacks. Hacker creates new hacks. BattlEye reports hacks, updates to block hacks. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

You can't just go running out in the open either. You need to scan every possible direction from where a bullet can come from. Don't treat it as if it's a CoD game because it will not work. You must be like a Ninja. :P

You need to realize that DayZ is running off of public servers and not in-house one's where someone is constantly monitoring and catching hacks in progress. BattlEye is the only line of defense. So yes Rocket is correct when he says the system is working as it should be.

If your using Windows, try opening the Control Panel and navigate to the Mouse settings. Go to the Pointer Options tab and make sure it's dead center of the speed slider. Also try un-checking Enhance pointer precision. Just so you know ArmA's gun-to-mouse-movement isn't instant like other fps games because it takes into account the weight of the weapon.

That setting is set server side so no one has an advantage over the other. Just like viewing distance I believe. Keeps the snipers from having too good.

Turn pre rendered frames to 1. The less the cpu has to work to feed the gpu the better. ArmA is heavily cpu dependent and needs all the cycles it can get. See my signature since you have an nvidia card.

You can if you want but you only get the low rez textures with Arma Free.

Combined Operations.

ArmA 2 does not support EAX. ArmA 2 does have surround as I get it with a HDMI connection to my receiver, but it's pure PCM 5.1 surround. Seems Creative cards have a problem outputting surround without EAX support and you have do some trickery to get it to work. Check this thread out to see if there is any help to get it. Thread: 3D surround sound ETA: Or what SeanOfTheDead says.

Have you tried running a single player mission? I was on a few servers last nite and the fps was horrible. With the amount of fps problems while playing online I'm starting to think that most admins don't realize that they have to actually reboot their servers. It's recommended they do this every 6 hours, so if your a server admin reading this, REBOOT YOUR DAMN SERVERS!

Umm, like never ever close down explorer. Gamebooster is cool though. Shameless promotion, see my sig line for tweaking.

Open BOTH of these folders. C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 AO\BattlEye and the ArmA 2 AO install folder wherever it's at and goto the Expansion\BattlEye folder. Download the new BattlEye file v1.61.94876 BE Client for Windows (32-bit) from HERE. Delete the old BEClient.dll from BOTH folders and replace them with the new one.

It is the weekend so most likely there is a lot of people on taxing the hive server.

ArmA 2 warfare is a blast, too bad most are missing out on it as there is nothing else like it. And yes EVERYBODY will have to pay again. I'm hoping for a DLC myself as ArmA 3 is what I'm waiting for more than DayZ.

Manual.

Before you can retort with "I can play other fps games just fine" ArmA isn't other fps games. Couple things you can try is by disabling Multi/SuperSampleing AA in your NVIDIA Control Panel. Along with Ambient Occlusion as this is the most performance hit your GPU can take with ArmA. Turn VSYNC and Triple Buffering on so you don't bottle neck your card because ArmA is heavily CPU dependent and it needs the cycles. In the Video Options in game turn AA to normal or low and Video Memory size to Default so all your GPU's memory is used. Make sure Video Resolution and Interface Size is set to be the same, the native resolution of your monitor. Post processing to Low and HDR to normal Also try going to the config files in C:\Users\USERNAME\My Documents\ArmA 2 and edit these lines in them. ArmA2.cfg GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; ArmA2OA.cfg GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; AToC=0; PPAA=3; PPAA_Level=3; <<== THIS defeats the purpose of Multi\SuperSampleing AA and AToC (ArmA's own unique AA) PPAA is actually SMAA Try these settings out and see what you get.

Your processor is waaaaay too slow. ArmA is the Grim Reaper to CPU's.

Not enough CoD-Kiddies references used, so none of my beans for that. Pretty much agree with you about everything except the 3P perspective because ArmA has some pretty bad collision detection IMO. But that doesn't offset the rest of the argument so you can have some beans for it!

Well, after a long pm session and some brain farts on my end (I edited my mistakes :blush:) all is well. Mission Accomplished!

Yah Commander is bugged as it says the same for me. I left a post in his thread to tell him about it so hopefully he will fix it. What kind of crash is it doing. What does it say?

Crosses fingers :P

You need all of them or it won't work. Except for the TXT ones.

I edited above for BattlEye

Only thing I use DayZ Commander for is a server browser as I do all updates manually so I know exactly what's going on. You know how to install the beta patch. When a new game beta patch comes out all you do is delete the 2 files "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" and "Uninstall Arma2 OA Beta Patch" in the ArmA 2: OA folder. Then delete the "Beta" folder located in the "Expansion" directory before you install the latest one. Don't worry as it has no effect on the game. For BattlEye go HERE and download the "BE Client for Windows (32-bit)" file and place it in the "BattlEye" folder in the "Expansion" directory and the "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 AO\BattlEye" folder after deleting the old one that's already in there To install the latest DayZ mod that comes out just open the "Addons" folder inside the @DayZ folder located in the "ArmA 2:OA" install folder and delete everything in there. Then I download the latest one from HERE then unzip them to the "Addons" folder inside the @DayZ folder and your done. That's it and it's not hard at all and you know it's done the right way. Hope this helps.
