Sure, there's novelty in it - just go play some normal A2CO and curb your enthusiasm. If there's any reason why hacked-in weapons are prolific in DayZ, it's because of players who've never actually played A2CO.

Nope. That's DayZ for you mate. It's not difficult to clean players spawning on Sniper Hill, let alone anyone else in the area. Sorry dude, false alarm.

Why don't you just scribble down the server name or IP? You have beautiful articulated joints in your hands for a reason!

Axe. FN FAL + FN FAL AN/PVS4 in the backpack, M9SD. Solid, hard hitting. 24/7 All weather operation and ammo:damage ratio is enough to keep me constantly moving.

log GUIDS on the server, search for setpos remarks in your logs. if possible find names linked to player ID's. You've got names linked to GUIDs - if you can get the information on both ends you can factor in a ban. The log system is useless because someone was running out of space archiving their logs, so someone else decided to release dayZ 1.7.2.5 with greatly reduced server logging. if I were you, and I know I am not - I would packetsniff on layer 3 for data to the hive. It is in plaintext.

Yeah man, why do you think people say eating shit is stupid?

Manual install of DayZ, for Steam users with both ArmA 2 installed, and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead: goo.gl/EpQWa This is a modified set of steps taken from dayzwiki.com, however it encompasses loading DayZ via a shortcut and retaining the Steam Overlay functionality.

I have standards, and standards make men of us little girls here on the internets.

/REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

pregnant pause Sixupdater and DayZcommander are the bane of my existence. They absolutely infuriate me in that they remove the need for a user to understand their own file system.

pro tip: Rename arma2oa.exe to !arma2oa.exe Go to Expansion\beta Copy arma2oa.exe to the original arma2oa.exe's location (arma 2 operation arrowhead\) Create a shortcut on your desktop: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\arma2oa.exe -mod="C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\ArmA 2;EXPANSION;ca;@dayz" Should work

Yep, one to two days late - maybe more. Depends on how much I hate the program.

Well, I hate it when my girlfriend gets lazy, and I'm not about to hold you half-up in the air to get the job done either. Sorry dudeman!

No problem. Sixupdater gets the updates late, so it won't acknowledge your installed version as .6 until it has the hashes to do so - which it currently doesn't. You're using steam, installed to its' default location, right? If that's the case, you should find arma2oa.exe in the following folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\ Can you confirm?

That's cool, I would recommend the torrent link on the DayZmod.com download page, as there are malicious content servers out there now. The torrent is MD5 hashed, so you won't download anything the DayZ Devs don't intend you to have.

Thanks for the info Venthos, good to see someone productive here.

hey. don't b racist.

Not quite.. we're still in Tech Support. Relocating steam is a piece of cake. The Real Simple way: 1. Cut and paste your steam directory from where it is to where you want it The Proper way: 1. Open Explorer and navigate to the new location for Steam 2. In that location, create a folder for steam to be installed to. 3. Exit Steam. 4. Go to your steam installation directory, and find the folder named "steamapps" 5. Copy and paste "Steamapps" to the folder created in step 2. 6. Uninstall Steam 7. Reboot and reinstall steam to the new directory. Once you log into steam, it will detect the presence of all your games and licenses in the new directory. Hugs, puppies and rainbows for everyone.

No kidding, hey? You've invested a lot of money into software, but how come you're still running a 10yr old HDD? They're only under shop warranty for 12 months, and manufacturer's warranty for a max of 36 months. In any case, Had you been able to go so far as testing this under a new user account or a fresh reinstall of your operating system? Not to say you need to blow everything away - there's a lot to be said for clean installs. Only personalised settings would be lost in that event, not personal data. LMK, or PM me please

If the files at the cdn.armafiles.com/latest mirror are .5, search for another mirror. Super simple stuff .6 Torrent: http://www.dayzmod.com/DayZ-1.7.2.6.torrent

arrr. Try me! The issue with the launchers is that they don't actually solve anything. I'd step up to the challenge of solving your particular problem, for sure! I just wish these people who spend so much time creating launchers that do fuck all (except complicate things) would code something more productive, like admin tools. Holy shit, I would love some admin tools I could rely on.

9/10 DayZ players don't know a raised weapon from a lowered one - good luck!

Yeah, don't bother with DayZCommander or any of the other launcher tools. Really, they're a waste of time and effort. Find where you've downloaded the update files, and extract them to ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons\ Make sure it's only files going in there, and not folders. You'll know the difference. Your directory should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/ARcZi.gif

I would've put it up a zombie's ass and hidden the body, but all the same - you got rid of the gear! Kudos :)
