You could always alt+tab and play a flash game..lol

This is exactly what made me what to put this on the forum. I am also always scared the item will glitch out when I drop it.

I can understand people not liking the text thing. I was just kind of copying the the system they have when taking blood from people, or attempting to handcuff. But I do think their should be some indication. Maybe a sound like someone previously said

Okay, I know vehicles are the least of our worries right now but, I, like many others think they are one of the most important aspects of the game and I want to make sure they are done right. First, I hope that controllers have the same customization to controls as in dayzmod and take on helicopters. The keyboard is nothing compared to what you can do with a joy stick/trigger in terms of the pedals in a car. You have the option to either slightly give it gas and everything in between to flooring it with a controller. With a keyboard, its all or nothing (no gas or floor it) and someone who really enjoys being the pilot and driver in my group this is really frustrating. Second, I think there should be some way to force constrained people and unconscious people into vehicles. (Kidnapping or saving unconscious people.) Third, I think if a medic is in a car they should be able to treat unconscious people within the car and not have to get out. (Give blood, bandage etc.) Fourth, You should be able to shoot out the side seats of a car. If I can think of more I will edit. Add what you think needs to be in the game.

In the dayz mod you are able to get into other players backpacks and add or remove items. However in the standalone, you can only do this AFAIK by restraining someone with handcuffs, having someone unconscious or dead. Now I think this great to keep people from grabbing crap out with no indication. However, I am suggestion you should be able to go into your inventory and right click your backpack and have an option to unzip or rezip it. This would allow players to add and remove stuff from your backpack. I also think there should be text messages appearing "player X is going through your backpack"

Besides that, the other thing i tried before deleting my userdata, was deleting the config folder in steam folder. None of it worked, but they were all labeled as fixes, it finally worked after deleting the userdata, not sure if the others effected it

okay well mine was stuck on "requesting key" so I think we had different problems. however, have you tried this CD Key issues, including "Bad Serial given in Setup" If you are running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Vista, please perform the following steps linked here first: Windows 7 and Vista Troubleshooting. If you are running Windows XP, please do the following: Exit Steam. Go to the Start menu, select Run, type regedit and click OK. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE Right click and select Permissions Check the Allow boxes for Admin and System for both Full control and Read. Now, verify the Game Cache for ArmA 2, Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, and ArmA 2 British Armed Forces, using the process linked here: verifying your game cache If it still does not work, please try deleting your ArmA 2 expansion entries: Go to the "Start" menu, select "Run", type "regedit" and click "OK". Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Bohemia Interactive Studio\\ Note: In 64-bit operating systems, this path may begin as: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\ Right-click on the entry "ArmA 2 OA" and select "Delete". Do the same for "ArmA 2 BAF". The entries may appear as a folder. Exit regedit. Once you have deleted the registry entries, you will need to reload the CD Key in the registry by doing the following: If you are running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Vista, please perform the following steps linked here first: Windows 7 and Vista Troubleshooting. If you are running Windows XP, please do the following: Exit Steam. Go to the Start menu, select Run, type regedit and click OK. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE Right click and select Permissions Check the Allow boxes for Admin and System for both Full control and Read. From the library list, right-click on "Arma 2" and select "Properties from the menu. Select the "Local Files" tab and click the "Verify integrity of game cache..." button. Steam will verify the game cache files (GCF's) - this process may take several minutes. Once the process is completed, the "Check" window will automatically exit. Do the same for "ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead", and "ArmA 2 British Armed Forces" You should now be able to launch your game. If you continue to have difficulty, further technical support for this issue is handled by a third party support department - please follow the "ArmA 2 Support" link at the top of this page to contact the support provider for this title.

what does it say when you try to view Cd key in steam? do this by right clicking arma II in your library

I had this problem about a month ago...read a bunch of BS fixes like restart steam etc This is what i did and it worked. there also might have been a mix of verify integrity of game cache's in there and other stuff Deleted "Userdata" folder in steam folder

Yeah every time we died we always made it back to our body, however there was always a chance to get glitched again while looting yourself.

Lol nice, yeah we were actually referencing "Holes" the movie/book. There was a mountain in the shape of a thumb of something idk haha

I actually have, were you near a pier/port of a city? It would happen all the time to me and my friends, we started calling it "God's Thumb" because anytime we went there "The God's would throw us up in the air." We avoided God's Thumb, never happened again

Third person is the same thing as bumpers in bowling, it sucks if you get used to them and is fine if you just want to have fun but are afraid of being challenged I know it is hard to accept for casual players, and I won't deny being an elitest because I want to make the game harder for myself and others. I don't want everyone to get third person for the same reason i don't want a built in aimbot.

Hey, I'm new to these forums, and I've done some search barring to find related topics to this suggestion but not exactly. First, I am asking does anyone know if body dragging will return in the standalone? If so, can/will there be a feature to assist people with broken legs (not only those unconscious) be it dragging or just supporting their weight? Now here's my suggestion, I've seen this posted before as a means of kidnapping but I have a different idea. Can we make it possible to force unconscious bodies into air/ground vehicles as a means of rescuing? (Or kidnapping too I guess) For example, your buddy passes out and you drag him to your vehicle a few feet away and load him into the passenger seat, then drive off to somewhere safe. Or a kidnapping example would be to hit someone with a bat in order to knock them out and do the same thing, but i would think this would be less popular. Idk, I am a big fan of helicopters so I just think it would awesome to drag someone or help someone with a broken leg to a helicopter and bring them to a hospital or camp with medical supplies
