Couldn't find any threads that addressed this, but I'm curious how long your player will complain after being bandaged and returned to full blood/health... I'm finding the groaning really annoying, and it gives away my position...

Thanks for the replies - I can confirm that I was fully healed...and yes, logging out, and logging back in fixed the issue :) Thanks again, guys!

Hey - so I have this problem on Dayz vanilla servers, private hives, and Dayz Origins: People can see when I type into Direct Communication to talk, but I can't see their responses in Direct Communication... I've tried this with several people across several servers, and the problem is consistent - any known ways of fixing this? Thanks!

Nope - never did :( I have a mic now, but I still can't see if other people are typing to me in Direct Chat... :(

I have the latest version, so idk if there is any other way to try fixing it, lol - but thanks for that info!

My steam: tjfreeman7 Sorry I didn't get you my info - lechop, I've seen you in the killfeed a few times, and each time I cringe, lol... I've just started a new character on that server and have a ghille already :D My skype: tjfreeman7 (I don't know how communicating in steam works, but I would be happy to learn...)

Of course, in game, if we could get a group channel going (though I don't know how, exactly) - but for meeting up and all, skype, haha, that way the bandits can't track us :P That server is full right now, so I'm trying to get in another to start a character for now...

Does it stay populated like that? Awesome - and I'm totally down with rolling with you, I've been looking for a strong server with a group to play with...do you have skype? (BTW, I am saving for a mic, but can type through skype until then)

Hi - I'm a new player (just got the game up and running yesterday)... Like everyone, I'm sure, I've been watching youtube videos for ages and that's what got me excited about dayz. I don't have a mic (as of now) - and I realize this is a downer for group play, but I am a team player and would love to roll with a group if someone would like to take on a newb like me...lol I know it's asking a lot: "Hey, I don't know anything about the game, can I play wif u?" Rofl - but if you need someone, let me know! TJ

Oh, that's awesome man! For sure, I sent you an add request :)

So...my character has found his first gun - first gun I've found in dayz :D I've searched the forums and haven't found anything, but my question is - is there some sort of guide or chart that shows which guns can shoot which ammo? I ask because I've found a double-barreled shotgun - I also ran across some 1887 (think that's right) shotgun slugs...when I run out of the regular slugs for my shotgun (2 shots), will it accept the 12 gauge slugs as well? I think some guns accept various ammo - but a chart of some sort showing all of these that I could print out would be amazing...

I guess I should have been smart enough to google that question - haha! Thanks man...

New player to the game - so far everyone on the form and in the game has been very kind and helpful...Thanks!! I am having one issue, though - from time to time when I am moving around, my movements don't register or are severely delayed... ie, when I walk around I'm fine one min, and the next I can only look around with my mouse but I can't walk, crouch, stand, etc... Any clues? Is this normal? ...I just know it's going to get me killed, lol!

Yep - thanks for the advice! Now to find some people to roll with, haha

So... I finally built a decent gaming computer and downloaded arma 2 and dayz - pumped - loaded arma 2 boot camp, practiced shooting, driving, etc... Anticipation built... Loaded dayz for the first time - ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT!!! Ran around a bit and decided to make sure I still remember all of the controls - aim down sights, ok, um *right click* -nothing- *right click* -nothing- Hmm...check the in game controls, yep, I'm doing it right... *right click* nothing *hold down right mouse button* -zooms in correctly- ...odd... *left click* -nothing- Checks full mag in pistol to be sure, and yep, everything should work...fire!! *left click* -nothing- AAAAARRRRRGGGG!!! I feel like Charlie Brown - I've even restarted the game a few times and tried different servers, but the same problem over and over again... HELP!

The ping may have been the problem - I've switched servers and haven't had that issue since :) My FPS runs between 35 and 60, depending on where I am on the map... Thanks for the input guys - I think the frustration with that is over...now I'm just frustrated with people that kill me as a BRAND NEW SPAWN (w/no weapon), lol

No, at least, I don't think so... sometimes even when there are already zombies and I'm being chased by a few, this will happen. Though, being a noob, I don't fully recognize when zombies are spawning in, lol, so that may be exactly what's happening, idk

Thanks a ton - that worked!!

Loading up the game to try it now - thanks for the advice, here's to hoping that fixes everything, lol!
