This thread is "booring" :P Seriously though, it's just getting started, it will be what we make it. Quit playing now and come back when it's finished.. you can be sure the finished product will be a lot bigger, have plenty of stuff to do, and it will be a completely different game from what we're playing now. Anyway, you'll see. ;)

Don't buy it from Steam, buy it from BI's website. It's 25% off (vs. 20% on Steam, and it includes a free set of printed maps and postcards) They even have the Steam version available on their site! https://store.bistudio.com/arma2-combined-operations-steam-version

This would be very cool. Hopefully it lasts longer than Rick's did in Walking Dead. (ep.1) I'm all for this idea, once the loading issues and other alpha stuff is fixed, but after that I say hell yeah! :)

I have the same thing. I reported it in the dev tracker: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/36631 There are pics of the issue, is it the same one you're having?

I've died randomly a couple of times now.. I don't know if it was some kind of hax or a sniper, but both times there was no one around, and once I was inside a building alone and there was no way I could be seen from outside. I noticed a problem with scroll wheel a few times where I couldn't scroll to get inventory options, and I still have to pick up everything around a pack, before I can pick it up.. A couple of times, I saw bunches of zombies just hanging out in fields around Elektro. Once I even threw a smoke grenade into the field beside them and they still didn't budge. Anyway, all of these are fairly minor.. Aside from this (and the annoying hill snipers in Elektro) everything is nice and smooth and working well. I've been able to skin animals, zombie agro is a little buggy, but nice when it works. There were a couple of times when I could walk right in front of zeds and they wouldn't move, but when they are working, their detection seems the best it's been so far. :) Great job with the updates, I'm having a blast testing this build! (as always!) ;)

Happens to me from time to time as well. I believe it is because of that particular server getting hammered with connections.. You can kill the task and try again, eventually you will get in. I've was in the game less than an hour ago, quit to make dinner then had the same issue.. Just about to try again with a different server.

Just randomly got sniped waaaay up North in the woods near Lopatino. Props to whoever got me, I was being pretty careful and I didn't see you. :) Anyway, now that I'm back on the coast, I've been messing with the zeds alot more, and they're actually really quite good. I've been able to lose them pretty easily, but they definitely aren't blind like they've been in the past. I'm going to play with cans and noise some more. It would be really cool to get that Visibility check in the debug monitor back.. I would like to be able to use it to judge the behaviour better. I found it pretty useful in 1.7.2.1

94876 is what I'm running, and I've had zero problems since the 1.7.2.3 build came out. I'm trying to get 94945 right now to test it, but the servers are getting hammered. If I manage to get my hands on it, I'll throw up a mirror for people in the forums. I've also got 94700 mirrored here: http://madness.tmok.com/~asdfg/DayZ/ARMA2_OA_Build_94700.exe

Build_94876: http://madness.tmok....Build_94876.exe

Just try another server for now. It's either because the server is getting hammered, they haven't updated or are updating, or you didn't update the beta properly. Make sure you've got Beta 94876 installed and that it is properly indicated at the bottom right of your menu when starting Combined Ops. Also, here is a mirror for 94876, for anyone who needs it: http://madness.tmok....Build_94876.exe

Need more moderators to help out with the forums? I've got heaps of experience, and I'll delete the posts myself. People are complaining about being killed randomly, that exploit is why. I totally understand where you're coming from, been involved in plenty of mods and their updates over the years, but it's ruining the game for people. Hopefully he'll take your response as acknowledgement, but the posts need to be deleted so more and more griefers don't start using the exploit.

Rocket: Please respond to Reaps about that exploit so he'll stop posting it over and over. Also, can you delete the posts that explain how to do it? People are using it to grief and it's already been reported in the bug tracker. (#36636) Thanks! :)

edited and reposted. Thread is moving too fast :P

Tried to explain that to him yesterday, and I posted it in the bug tracker on his behalf... I give up.. I've already been hearing about people getting randomly killed out of the blue, it's most likely because the exploit is in the forums.

Works a charm for me. Quick to load, no problems with joining a server, all my gear is intact and I have better performance than ever.. only problem is with the white flashing on the ground which I get no matter what server I join. (https://dev-heaven.net/issues/36631)

I've installed it, but I haven't tried yet because I am waiting for the servers to update. I'll give it a go no and report back when I see what's happening. Edit: Works a charm for me.

(https://dev-heaven.net/issues/36631) Using 1.7.2.3 with Beta 94876

I would dislike this if there was a button for that.. but then, I guess that means I like the idea. lol? :P

1.7.2.3 is out now. :) http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31571-hotfix-build-1723-rolling-update/

Seeding this now, but I'm going to wait for the servers to get updated before I try playing. Looks great, I hope this one is a smooth hot-fix.. it'll be nice to see some people being grateful for a change. :)

I tried a bunch of servers and the ones I got into all had 1.7.2.2 in their description but had the faded black screen. I could access inventory, but only see every 10 seconds or so for a split second. There were also a bunch of 1.7.2.2 servers on the list, but I couldn't join them because 90% were full. I hate patch days. :P

I moved the beta file as usual and I'm still getting the "blinking" thing. I can open my inventory and it shows up fine, but otherwise it's exactly as in the video. I'm running 1.7.2.2 and beta 1.61.94876 I guess I'll just have to wait a bit or maybe try rolling back to 1.7.2.1, but I don't see any point in going backwards.

I'm wondering this as well. I don't like using sixlauncher, I would prefer to update my files manually. Also, is there a mirror for ARMA2_OA_Build_94876.zip? I tried downloading from the site, but it's sloooooooow.. Seems the us, uk and fr mirrors all have different versions of the Dayz files as well.. need to get these synched asap. There are currently at least 4 active builds out there atm.. (1.7.1.5, 1.7.2, 1.7.2.1, 1.7.2.2) plus 2 or 3 active beta builds. It's getting a bit confusing for new people, let alone us oldbies. :P

Once the update issues are passed, I'm going to be renting a server.. I'm shopping around for the best deals atm, why should I go with you instead of the other hosts that also say they are the cheapest and best?

That was.. creepy. If I heard that shit on voip, I would probably alt-f4.. :P (which I have never done and never would otherwise) Also, relevant:
