This is probably due to the switch to steam, I see hundreds of people per day tryin to join my server using the wrong versions. DayZ Commander is a dead program for anyone that doesn't know yet and will be unusable any day now when BE pull support for non steam versions. My suggestion is to start using DayZ Launcher made by the same guy as CCG launcher (maca134) http://dayzlauncher.com/. Also in steam in the betas tab opt out of all betas and verify OA and A2 then run each one once after the verify finishes downloading. This will make sure you are on the correct current version (125548). On top of this there are issues with the steamid switch keeping people from joining sometimes and being stuck at loading screen but able to run around in game and hear themselves. There is a workaround for this but it has to be done by the servers dev/admin.

The main reason this has been happening for most players is due to issues with the database and the switch to the new steamids, there is a work around but it has to be done by the servers developer. If you would like to see if thats the "fix" try joining our server where the "fix" is live or contact the dev of the server and I will give him the workaround until its fixed officially. My server's available at 74.91.116.203:2302. Also are they running the most recent versions (125548/1.0.5.1)? The reason I use "fix" is because it's really more of a workaround then fix. It's pretty much just forcing the loading screen to end.

http://dayzlauncher.com/ Early but solid replacement for DayZ Commander for 1.63 of Arma.

Well we finally have an extremely easy to use replacement for DayZ Commander when BE cuts support and DZC dies sometime in the next few days. http://dayz.launcher.eu/ It works very well so far even in its early alpha state and has support for overpoch, overpoch origins, overpoch panthera, etc. Spread the word so all the players that have been lost by not being able to join due to this whole update/gamespy shutdown fiasco can start joining games again!

No problem, any other info you'd like pulled from the pbo's let me know. I've refrained from posting too much of it as sometimes things disappear with an update and sometimes they put things in to fuck with us lol (AS50 Thermal anyone). The AS50 was an obvious troll though as there was no data in the folder. I just don't wanna post a complete list because people make take that as all those items being confirmed when many are still being worked on or may not even make it into the stable builds.

Mosquito, honey bee, fly, dragonfly, and butterfly have all been in the pbo's for months. Safe to say we will most likely get them all at some point here. Also on the topic of diseases rats are also in the pbos along with at least 15 other animals, I think it's a good bet that diseases will be tied to both mosquitos and rats.

So as I'm sure anyone hosting DayZ mod right now knows, the mandatory update to 1.63 due to the gamespy shutdown and DayZ commander not updating to the new joining system (still fingers crossed they will) it is looking very ugly for any variants of the DayZ mod (Epoch, Overwatch, etc). Without a simple way for people to join the fact is most people can't be bothered to set up launch parameters themselves or they just don't know how. Even if a .bat is distributed by server owners it would require new players to check your website FIRST before ever even joining your server. A huge part of the way servers get populated is by people searching by player count on DayZ commander and without that option, or the server even appearing on the lists at all, I see the DayZ mod variants dying quickly. If anyone has been working on a solution or has any information about IF DayZ Commander is going to update please let me know. Any information is welcome.

Yes I was coming back with confirmation from awol that dotjosh will be updating soon. http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/13544-125548-on-dayz-commander/page-2 EDIT: You can delete this thread if you would like as the title is misleading with confirmation that DZC will still support the new versions.

Sorry to clarify I meant the mag was full and the building untouched, but I have not found any loose ammo or attachments.

I've found a 30rd stanag in a police station but no ammo or attachments.

Anyone who has been playing the mod for the last year or two will be completely open to these anti combat logging measures, and agree they needed to be implemented ASAP. Combat loggers are fucking everywhere and make you feel completely cheated after you finally come out on top after a 45 minute firefight just to have the jackass(es) disappear in front of your very eyes. This is probably the reason all the new guys like the OP are getting completely shunned by most(if not all) of the players who have been dealing with combat logging and server hopping for years now. I understand it's very frustrating for both sides seeing as how the servers could definitely be in better shape, but maybe it's time for you OP to take a break from SA until such issues are resolved? No one is forcing you to play the Alpha in its current state. I suggest trying out the mod for a while or a different genre entirely and coming back in a month or two to see how things are doing then.

You started at Solni and didn't go straight to Polana? Shows me everything i need to know about your "so much day Z exp to know what im talking about!"

Sounds like it was a trap and you got sniped to me, not positive though. Just my 2 cents.

I can second this for sure. Played on the server quite a bit and saw almost no trash talking, very manageable lag even with 80+ players on some times, and non abusive admins. We have killed the admin groups, donor groups, and even the owner and there was no trash talk or bullshit bans/kicks. Very mature community overall it seems.

I was playing on a server last night and was told the new patch included a .308 sniper rifle nerf bringing the new damage down to around 3000. I didn't see any mention of this anywhere else and was just curious if this is actually the case?

Thank god, thanks for the responses everyone. Very glad the kids I was talking to were just idiots.

Right man, that's exactly what I'm saying. I got into a 20 minute argument with the owners of the server I was on, like how the hell are you gonna tell me a .308 does less then a .223??

kill 2 or 3 survivors or heroes and you should have it

I am curious if anyone else experienced the supposed hive issue last night that deleted any and every thing that held an as50 including tents and vehicles. This is the explanation i was given and thought the timing was rather odd as i had literally taken the AS50's from the host clans camp the night before this bug hit yet i can't find a reference to this hive wide bug anywhere. Any feedback either way would be nice, and if this happened to anyone else last night please speak up.

Those are all from July 2012..

If one single person from any other server confirms this happened to them as well I will gladly edit or remove any negative statements about you guys.

I only created this forum post to hopefully confirm your guys story by hearing the same thing happened to anyone else on any other servers since you guys told me it was a hive issue across many servers. I figured there would be at least 1 other forum post from anyone else who spawned in dead when they were fully geared with an AS50 yet I found nothing so I created this hoping someone else would speak up from another server and tell me the same thing happened to them so I can put my mind at ease. Unfortunately no one has come in to defend you guys yet except 2 of your clan members, instead 2 other people weighed in saying it was sketchy. I for one have no idea what admins are capable of, but looking at the public hive server admin rules it seems they are capable of quite a lot ( I understand they are not allowed to do much at all ). Considering there are scumbag admins on every game that has server admins I figured it was worth a post, that being said all my personal encounters with Yippi (the server host) have been positive and like stated above he is on top of many things with the server but looking at the posts I see on the forum in general I'm amazed to not see a single other post about other people spawning in dead that had AS50's and that was the main cause of my post. I wanted confirmation from anyone outside of your server's regulars. Also yes it was my first AS50, and I grabbed 3 of them and 15 AS50 mags. I was also fully geared when i was deleted, NVG's, Rangefinder, Coyote Backpack, GPS and considering you guys are literally on and off all day long raiding every chopper crash site I literally have 0 chance of getting those items again on your server so yes I am quite furious about this.

Yea that is exactly what i was thinking. By the way anyone that has heard of the bug please weigh in, i'm not tryin to bad mouth anyone that doesn't deserve it.
