@Ninja_Meh - love the way you keep mentioning 'call of duty noobs' - like everyone who doesn't like the latest broken zeds should go play call of duty - step down from your high horse if you can. I have been playing the dayz mod since way before it was even popular- I hate call of duty type games & i'm definitely not a noob - i haven't died in well over two weeks & I am killing the zombies with ease - but all this zombies running through walls, spotting you from stupid distances - and by the way, they do aggro on you when you've not shot at them, it's happened to me - how can a zombie spot me on a hillside in a treeline when I'm so far away that the town doesn't even render? I have watched them running straight at me - through several buildings on the way, with no shots fired and nothing being done to attract them. And they can also run up hills, where the dayz character is reduced to a slow walk - then you just have to zigzag like a right tit - all hopes of stealth gone. I want the zombies to be chasing me, it's one of the major things which is good about the game - but they need to fix them, so you can lose them by cutting through houses and terrain, like it would be for real - it ruins the game when they can see you inside buildings and over any obstacle.

Can't believe that a lot of other players are actually enjoying the new 'broken' zombies --- in my opinion they have just pretty much ruined the game - I don't mind getting chased from zombies but they are broken - they spot you from the middle of towns before you are even close - they run straight through every building like it's not even there and run straight at you a quarter mile away!! absolute bullshit - they also jump through buildings to attack you, they don't even use doors. There should be zombies aggroing on you, but they shouldn't be able to run faster than you when you have no weapon equipped & also through everything - you can't even lose them through line of site anymore - they need to be fixed before the dev team make them more aggressive or more plentiful.

Basic question guys - I have been watching some DayZ vids on youtube. Maybe I have been picking it up wrong, but I'm sure a couple of times I have seen players jumping between servers but keeping all their gear. They seem to move to a new server, which spawns them in the same location they were at in the original server. They then go to a different place on the map in the new server, jump back on the original server where their location has now changed to the same location from the second server & they have kept all their gear - is this possible or is my tiny little brain struggling with a basic concept?? I thought that when you abort from 1 server, you always spawn into a new server as a new player with no gear or some gear dependant on the individual spawn rules of each server, I didn't think you could move gear from 1 server to another - is this the case or am I just being a bit thick??

Well, managed to get this sorted following the installation guides - thank you Boneboys. I had to start Operation Arrowhead in 'windowed mode' then went into 'video options' & had to change the 'Interface Resolution' & '3D Resolution', I then started a game & saved it, then when I re-started Operation Arrowhead/ Beta & DayZ in normal view mode it all worked spot on, thanks again Boneboys.

No mate, I didn't go through any installation guides(didn't know there were any) -- the really annoying thing is, I built my mate his first ever Gaming PC last week, installed Arma II and DayZ & it all worked first time on his PC - All I did was startup Arma II, then Arrowhead, then Arrowhead Beta & DayZ - he has been playing all week and I still haven't got on - sod's law I suppose. But thank you very much for the quick response, I will try the installation guides as soon as I get home tonight & let you know, Thanks again.

Apologies if this thread has been discussed before, but I'm new to the forum. Ok so I recently purchased the Arma II Standard Version/ Operation Arrowhead/ Arrowhead Beta & DayZ Pack, the standard Arma II game plays no problem at all on 1366x768 resolution, but when I try and start up Operation Arrowhead, Arrowhead Beta or DayZ I just get a blank screen then the only way I can get the display to return is to unplug the graphics card from the monitor and plug it back in which defaults back to the Windows 7 screen. The spec of my PC is not bad - Quad Core 3.0Ghz i5 CPU, 8gb 1600 DDR3 Ram, ATI XFX R7770 Graphics Card - this PC plays any other game I have tried including Crysis 1, 2 & 3 on high settings which is one of the toughest games CPU/Graphics wise & obviously Arma II - so I'm at a complete loss -- any suggestions would be welcome, Cheers.
