Are there any plans to fix the issues with the doors? Where upon entering 90% of the doors you automatically stand up, This is a real pain and one of the main reasons i aggro the infected! This now is the most annoying thing in the game for me!

Yeah happened to me just the other day too, Had a AKM rifle but ran out of ammo, Tried to swap the rifle with my hatchet & my AKM just disappeared! Was not happy!

Any new players out there do not listen to a word this guys has just said! "immediately hit esc > abort > disconnect > Rejoin. This will make all the zombies chasing you disappear completely" This is an exploit! ... This guy clearly has no clue on how this game is SUPPOSED to be played! ... By the sounds of it he has no clue how to sneak and i guarantee you that if you follow his "Run full speed through all the coastal towns" tactic i guarantee you that 90% of the time you WILL die quicker.

I wrote this in a different thread but just thought i would post it here. The best advice i can give to newbies is always scout the area your trying to enter, Study the path of the infected and always try to stay behind them, ALWAYS enter a city/town prone & always cross roads prone, If you do have/want to crouch always hold shift in built up areas to minimize noise also always stick close to walls or buildings to help you stay out of site. You can normally hear a zombie before you see it, As soon as you hear ANYTHING hit the deck until you find out where the zombie/player is what what way they are facing & its safe to carry on with your business. ONLY SHOOT IF YOU REALLY REALLY HAVE TOO! ... Sometimes its actually safer to run than shoot, If you run then you will probably only have the zombie that spotted you, If you shoot then yeah you may kill that single zombie that spotted you but i 100% guarantee that shot will attract 4, 5 & 6+ more infected. If you can follow the above then you should have no issues at all in avoiding detection from the infected, The above advice is what ive learned from my own personal experience playing DayZ & so far its served me quite well.

Starting with no gun is a piece of cake! ... If i had my way we would start with a tin of beans and a can of coke in your pockets, Nothing else ... Not even a backpack. In my opinion starting with no weapon is fantastic, Makes you have to play the game a totally different way than before & when you actually find you first weapon it gives you a real scene of achievement, I remember when i found my first weapon, It was a hatchet ... I was like "fucking sweet, If any zombies fuck with me now they are gonna get it" ... I was surprised to see how well the melee attack actually works too, When I found my first gun a felt like a god, Even though it was only a Makarov & two clips lol. Fair enough im not a complete noob to DayZ(been playing a few hours most nights since the middle of May)and ive learn the basics of the game now quite well, But like everybody else with the recent updates when our pistol got removed & the zombies got "smarter" i had to rethink my tactics ... Re-learn how much i could push it before a zombie spotted or heard me etc, Trust me i died like 5 - 6 times after only being alive around 10 mins at a time lol, My current character is the longest ive stayed alive since the zombies got buffed & our starter weapon got removed. With my current char im into day 3 now, I have a AKM rifle, Hatchet, Revolver, Toolkit, Watch, Hunting knife and a couple of other things. I went from my spawning point at the west of Kamenka, Through Kamenka, On too Komarovo(where i found a hatchet)on to Balota & then onto Balota airstrip where i found a shotgun then down to the deer stands where i found my AKM rifle. The best advice i can give to newbies is always scout the area your trying to enter, Study the path of the infected and always try to stay behind them, ALWAYS enter a city/town prone & always cross roads prone, If you do have/want to crouch always hold shift in built up areas to minimize noise also always stick close to walls or buildings to help you stay out of site.

Is it normal that once i find a server and log in i get a loading screen with a hourglass that seems to take about 2 mins+ for the game to load? .... I'm guessing that is something to do with the latest v1.7.1.5 update because it never used to do it before this update! .... So my question is, Is this normal for the game? ... Once the game is loaded and im in the game runs fine.

Infected can still attack you through walls & ive noticed that sometimes they seem to be able to walk straight through walls too. Apart from that loving DayZ so far. :D

By "Play the tutorial missions" he mean the tutorials of ARMA II. If i could offer any tips i would say always scout a area your about to approach from distance, Hold right mouse to zoom in and check for other players or infected, Take note of what way they are facing and where they are going, You can only get so close while crouching, Then go prone and stay with the infected's back to you, Every now and then checking around you. ALWAYS go prone across roads, In built up areas avoid shooting unless your life really depends on it .. Shooting will attract hoards of infected & other players/bandits! .. When in built up areas always stay tight to buildings and if you have to crouch hold shift while walking. Although airfields/strips & citys do have the best loot they also have the most zombies & bandits/murders, Be aware of this. You much more likely to be killed by another player at a city/airfield/airstrip than another area of the map imo. This is possibly the most unforgiving game i have ever played and you WILL die a lot at first ... Don't be put off by this. Oh and possibly the best advice i can give .... Real life players are always more deadly that zombies.

You need to install the latest ARMA II beta patch too. Get it here > http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Its right at the very top of the page called "ARMA2_OA_Build_93965.zip" ... Just download, Extract, Right click the file named ARMA2_OA_Build_93965 and run as administrator.

I just downloaded it fine from there, No password needed.

So we need the latest v93965 ARMA II beta patch to run this?

The original post was posted Today at 12:27 PM, It also states that the ETA is 6 to 24 hours, You do the math. :)

As already said ... Its hard to trust people now and it seems to be getting worse, One thing i love about this game though is its so unforgiving. One mistake or loss of concentration and your dead. The only person i can 100% trust in game is my mate, We play together while on TS3. Just the other day i had a Alice backpack, Compass, Knife, Hatchet, Map, Matches, Binoculars, Revolver, Lee-Enfield, Plenty of ammo & plenty of food and drink, I had almost 200 zombie kills & 2 murders(both in self defense i might add) I was on a roof prone just taking a look around, In the distance was a school and i spotted a guy laying down also on the roof, He hadn't spotted me yet so i held down right mouse and hovered my iron-sights over him ... I could have killed him dead! ... I didn't, He turns round, Spots me so now we are both looking at each other for maybe 6 seconds, I think to my self "Hmm he must be friendly" ... I turn round to head towards the ladders down off the roof and BOOM! ..... I'm dead. I mean i was already looking at him when he spotted me so he must have known i was friendly or i would have killed him already! Yes i was pissed off. I by nature am a friendly person but how are you supposed to trust people when things like this happen too you .... All that went through my mind after that was ..... If id have just took the shot when i had the chance he would be the dead one!

In my opinion we should start with one can of soda and maybe one can of beans ... That's it, No weapons, Bandage, Painkillers or Backpack etc. Maybe tone the zombie vision sight down a little, Not as dumb as they where, It was too easy, But maybe half way between what it was before they where buffed and what it is now.

Upon spawning i was showing as owning one bandage & one box of pain killers but no hatchet or crowbar, After i picked up this revolver i noticed loads of bags appeared on the floor so i checked it out! ... Here's what i saw. http://i.imgur.com/gVk4M.jpg

i7 920 D0 CPU @3.6GHz. Gainward GTX 580 "GOOD" edition GFX card. 6GB DDR3 1600MHz memory I also have a 120GB Corsair SATA III SSD but that makes no difference in playing games. Im running the game at 1920x1200 with AA at x5 and post processing disabled ... I average at around 50FPS with the latest nvidia drivers installed, Latest days mod & latest ARMA II beta patch. Some servers i go in though for some reason i get like 15 FPS ... Luckily thats only the odd one, Most are fine.

Stop fixing and release the damn update you ..... Ermm ... Hmmm .... Awesome person you. :D

Though you are correct that the game requires a high end PC' date=' the majority of FPS issues are from servers not cleaning things up correctly which causes massive drops in FPS for users playing on the server. So in one server I am getting 12 FPS, hop onto another server that was recently restarted and I get 40-60. [/quote'] Im staying a t constant 60 fps <3 high end pc's But if you have low fps right now either stop playing or lower your settings keep in mind that over 34 fps the human eye cant tell the difference so try to get to that balances out performance & quality. Dude not all lower FPS are due to a lower end pc! .. I have a GTX 580 "GOOD" edition, 6GB DDR3, A i7 [email protected] CPU & a SATA III SSD ... Im running the game at 1920x1200 with all in-game settings maxed ... Most servers i get 50 - 60 FPS, Some i get like 20 FPS! AMD FX-8150 CPU (8x 3.60GHz/8MB L2 Cache)(Overclocked to 4.1GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 - 4GB(Also Overclocked) SSD Killer 2100 Gaming Network Card 16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-1600 Memory Module PowerDrive Level 2 Asetek 550LC Liquid CPU Cooling System #ComeAtMeBro and i am aware it dosnt always occur due to lower end pc's but personally i havent had this issue your describing Then maybe you have been lucky enough to dodge the servers with this issue.... Its a known bug.

I just got spotted while prone in tall grass with 1 visibility bar and 0 noise from 20 meters away. They have super vision and it needs to be fixed. The vision has been fixed in the upcoming hot-fix ... I'm talking about the damage they deal.

No.

Also i wish people would stop asking for the zombies to be nerfed! With the 1.7.1 patch they are fine! ... What the Fuck you you want?
