I have had this problem in every version and on every server so far, I can never pick up back packs unless they are on a corpse. I have tried everything from dropping my own pack, standing up and other things people on servers have suggested. Nothing I do has ever resulted in the pick up backpack option appearing in my menu. The strange thing is I have never even spoken to anyone who has had the same bug.

You can roughly estimate how much it is selling by watching the number of unique players on the main page. I think it was 15-18 thousand when I checked a week or so ago now its over 40 thousand. I have no idea what percentage bought the game for the mod but given it's position on steam I think dayz probably sold at least 10-20 thousand copies of Arma 2 the last week or so.

I have been unable to play since the 1.5.6 update was released. I have deleted the entire Dayz directory and re-downloaded everything multiple times. Every 1.5.6 install results in the server doing black screen warning that I have 1.5.5 .
