I've been rather reserved about the whole delayed logout timing that's been talked about. Mainly because I see it as a defense mechanism for those who don't have the power to defend themselves from other players and game breaking bugs. However, after watching this video I realize its just to powerful a tool to be put in the bandits hands as well. I now agree that a timer should be added to the logout of a character. Perhaps humanity can play into this. Perhaps it can increase the wait time it takes for one to logout?

I loath bandit types with a passion. There needs to be something ingame to combat this type of behavior, they lose sanity or something, ANYTHING. They kill because they can, not because they have to or need to and they should be punished for it. They have no idea how immensely they are effecting someone else, and they don't care to either.

Its because both of your computers are trying to connect over the same ports and its causing conflicts figuring out which computer is which. Try adding "-port=2350" to your shortcut or Steam properties. First computer do nothing. Second computer do -port=2350 Third computer do -port=2352 So on and so forth, but continue with at-least 2 digit increases. This may or may-not work but its something you can try.

You need to add -port=2350 to your shortcut. Do this for only ONE of your machines if your only running two. Add or subtract 2 digits from the listed number to add another computer but make sure there not the same. So -port=2352 for the third computer and so on and so forth. This worked for me and my sister.

I'm aware. I'm just fucking exasperated at shooting someone and then they bounce on me...it is getting old. I have to do something about it. Banning people for logging off when your trying to unjustly kill them... Sounds like an excellent idea!... If they shot first its one thing, being an ass and just going around and killing people without warning and then banning them when they d/c to defend themselves is another imo.

This is a very serious situation and one that should not be taken lightly. Would I be willing to pay money to play DayZ in its current form? Absolutely not considering the cost I've already had to partake. Without significant iterations and upgrades this project is not of production value, its still a mod. As a DLC project for ArmA III, possibly. As a stand alone project with (as is) default ArmA II (and its DLC/Xpack) content that makes up 99.5% of the current entire project, no. Not just no, but hell no. In order to be a stand alone project your going to need a new, much larger map. A new fluid animation system. New art assets, including models, sounds and textures (nothing from an already launched project/title like whats used now). Better AI behavior, and a much better spawning Hive system (no zeds eating your face from out of thin air). Lets face it, this project is still a mod and one that is using a ton of already created content from already released titles and addons. Trying to launch this as a title on its own in its current state/form would be suicide. BI would end up looking like another greedy company trying to gain as much profit for as little effort as possible. Without many of the new things I suggested above I cannot foresee myself (and possibly many others) spending more money. I am incredibly grateful for what you've done so far for this project Rocket and I hope it continues in one form or another. So what to do? My suggestion would be to either keep it as a mod or bring it into BI as a fully licensed product (most likely as DLC for ArmA III) with its own production team, own unique art assets, and much higher production value. One time purchase and let the community sort out the hosting.

Very nice! How about adding a statistic on the front page with the rest about the number of people banned so far?

No. I understand what your trying to do/fix but I don't think this will work. I have a pistol IRL.

I don't get why a few servers will work and then others wont work at all. Just boots the other off. Was hoping someone would have some insight into it.

Hello everyone, I'm having some connection problems when trying to play with my sister on the same server. Were both connected to the same router in my home and were both wired connections. When one of us connects to the same server it boots the other person off. Some servers we can connect and play together and others will just boot whoever connected first. Restarting our computers, router and modem can sometimes fix this issue but for the most part it does nothing and we end up with the same result. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could possibly fix this issue? Many thanks in advance. Edit: As a side note, this happens when either in 1.6 or 1.7. Currently we both have 1.7 and the latest beta patch installed.
