potplanty

So a mate and I were in Stary Sobor before on ANZ5 (3am AEST - 4/7/12) and we logged off. We came back on to go and continue our quest when to our surprise I had been teleported all the way across map from Stary Sobor to Otmel (out on the islands of Otmel to be specific) WITH all my gear except a DMR I had picked up 10 minutes prior logging. Him being scared of spawning there too went to a different server before he finished loading in. To his surprise he logged into this new server and he was spawned in Drakon with all his gear too. I have no idea what the hell just happened but I am most certainly confused as all hell. Running the latest beta patch and 1.7.1.5 Username of myself - Taco (ID: 11670278) His username - Aulz (ID: 22603590)

Thanks for the help Inu.

No idea?

Ahahah. Well that was good for a laugh.

If I'm not mistaken this is technically an ArmA 2 problem not a DayZ problem. Try posting on the BIS forums.

My favourite servers by the best Aussie hosters out there (AusArmA) have been blacklisted for running chat on two servers. WITHOUT ANY WARNING. You stupid idiots have essentially just ruined most of Australia's gaming experience for NO REASON AT ALL. If you don't want chat enabled then just REMOVE IT FROM THE MOD. Or how about you GIVE THE OWNERS A WARNING? Congrats Rocket and co. You have fucked Australia hard. I hope you enjoy losing your fanbase to this dictatorship bullshit.

Nah I'm good. It's the middle of the day here. But considering half of Australia's DayZ servers just got blacklisted for the most bullshit of reasons without any warning, yeah I'm going to be mad. If Rocket and co pulled their heads out of their asses and saw what this is doing to their fanbase, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Not sure if it's in this hotfix or the next planned update but you should get the option each time you respawn.

The point is that Cherno is a shithole, you will get killed incessantly and only low tier items spawn in Cherno. Try finding a DMR in Cherno. Or NVGs. Or a GPS. Or anything good.

Yes you do.

Rocket doesn't want people hosting their own servers. /thread

You go to the download section of the site and find a folder called OLD. Then reinstall over the newer files.

Crosshairs have mostly been disabled on servers. As for the black screen with text in the middle, you're running the wrong version. Simple as that. Upgrade to the latest version for fix.

So it seems that since 1.7.1.1 that save on DC doesn't work. Could just be everyone I play with but when we relog it drops us back maybe a few metres, maybe a few hundred metres. The time difference since we were in the place where it logs us into is varied.

Did you save them after you put everything in them too?

The ArmA engine was never too great with lighting. Also since the introduction of the new 1.7 tone mapping everything has gone to shit. Definitely needs revamping. Hopefully the new lighting in ArmA 3 will fix some of these problems. TURN THE GODDAMNED TONE MAPPING BACK TO WHAT IT USED TO BE!

Sadly this has happened too many times to poor souls. This would have to be a change in the actual ArmA game but definitely one that should not have been looked over in the first place.

Loot spawns are server specific. It's called knowing things before talking crap ThatGuyWithNoHands.

Good idea. But since every zombie kill I have is a headshot, I don't mind so much.

I agree with you. We're meant to be playing on a Russian map yet the main alcohol is whiskey and the weapons are American too. Makes sense :S

Seriously, go away. It's people like you that give modern gaming a bad name. Go back to L4D.

Are you kidding me? This is the dumbest idea ever. Go back to L4D.

Good idea in theory. But it would be too hard to manage on the server and I don't believe the engine is capable of doing it.

They already exist. L2DayZ Also, doing things like modifying vehicles like that would require extensive modification of the ArmA engine and would create a lot of problems with things such as collisions and whatnot.
