Pretty neat, I don't endorse hackers but it's always good that there aren't ones that just kill every single person.

Unfortunately it seems as though these are all Arma's engine problems. Only thing you can really do is do the best to avoid them. Whenever opening doors stay a good distance away from the swing to prevent yourself from being squished. Do not prone into small doorways as there might be a chance the difference between elevation (the front step) can break your legs and/or kill you Avoid getting out from the car whenever you are close to any objects that are big enough for you to glitch into after getting out.

Most of the time, items that are put into full inventories and other storages are now dropped onto the floor in SEPARATE piles. In my past experiences rifles can glitch into the landscape or may be dropped a far distance away from the storage. I advise you to check the storage and make sure it is now filled with many items already (IE: A car with a shitload of guns food water jerry cans) and try to get enough items to fill in the slot for something rare before you put it in. As for the pack problem, usually the ammo will be scattered around the ground where you are instead of replacing the rifle in the pack..But this may differ depending on the items. If this happens every time just try to drop all the ammo in one area, place the rifle into your pack, and pick the ammo back up again. This will prevent any danger of losing a rare rifle or other item of that sort, although being quite a hassle.

@Venorg It will despawn after 7 days MINIMUM, there may be a chance of it despawning a little after during a grace period. At least, this is what I perceived from the notice.

1: If you haven't already, you must equip the flashlight by right clicking it in your toolbelt and "Remove from tool-belt" This will take up your secondary slot. When it is done doing the equipping animation press L and wait a moment. It should work. WARNING: Bugs may occur if you attempt to equip the flashlight while holding a secondary firearm. 2: If you want to use it you must have it equipped as your secondary, yes this is a little counter-productive but using it to find friends in the dark is one of the main uses of it. Try finding a weapon with a build-in flashlight 3: As the previous person stated you may be on a server that does not allow Third person. Look at the "Host" (name of the server) and see if it says something like "3RDP OFF" Switch between servers and keep on trying. If it continues to not work try to reset your bindings to default. Sorry for repeating it after Plutonium said it. Just seemed a little unclear the way he said it.

I did what uglyboy did and got rid of some of the stuff. This hacker has been going around server to server messing with people's inventories and it's been getting a bit annoying :/ Bad thing is, a lot of people are getting this too and aren't saying anything about it. Seems a bit unfair towards others.

* Server this happened on: Seattle 69, NY47 * Time that it happened including your timezone: 12:57 PST * What happened during the incident: A message appeared in the middle of the screen in white text and I was given a coyote backpack, AS50, and a full inventory of ammo for it. During the first case a helicopter that was not a huey spawned in front of me. During playing in the server NY47, I was in zelenogorsk supermarket with broken legs and decided to crawl to the nearby church in search for a slim chance of morphine. As I was crawling, a message popped up and said "pa(forgot the rest of the name) rules!" and my backpack was replaced with a coyote backpack, and a heavily armed helicopter with missiles spawned in front of me. Immediately knowing I would get banned, I disconnected from the server and joined a different one so my character would not be saved. Later on, the same thing occurred excluding the helicopter but this time I quickly checked my inventory and saw I had an AS50 will full inventory of ammo for it. I quickly disconnected again, and decided to post this up on the forums for fear of being banned. EDIT: Will I be banned for just HAVING this stuff? I checked it and I was given a range-finder, g17, ghillie suit, GPS, and other things. This is extremely unfair but if I drop this stuff, will someone else be banned?.... Not much, but this is all the proof I have. The alice was dropped and I was given a coyote backpack. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n567/RND-Hotgreen/hax.png

From the looks of it you may need to update Arma or the beta patch. I think the installer which is given through the beta download will update arma automatically and the patch as well.

just spawned and had nothing to lose, I was by elektro where my group was holed up so I decided to go into town and get some shit. As I was crawling to the super market someone says "GUY NEXT TO STREET IN ELEKTRO, FRIENDLY?" I responded with "is he prone" and he said yes. I said I was friendly and got into the super market in the back area. I heard a very loud gunshot like an enfield and asked if it was him shooting. He had misfired his m4 and he was actually in the super market too. I warned him of zombies coming from the back and I helped him finish them off. We asked if we needed anything, but unfortunately STAANAG'S and ALICE packs aren't exactly abundant, or so we thought. We decided to help each other out for a bit, and began heading towards the school. We stopped at the apartments in front of the school and low and behold, an ALICE pack. I thought to myself, if he wants to kill me, this is when he's probably going to do it, but all he said was "nice" and kept looting. Feeling glad about finding a friend, I told him that we were going to find one for him too. We went down to the school, looted some more, got a winchester, compass, other things like that and found TWO ALICE packs. He said thanks and we happily went on our way to the hospital, in need of medical supplies. We checked the roof and the back but to no avail, already looted. I then said "Let's try the front, I'll guard while you shoot" To my horror, he used his m4 to shoot out the hospital glass and attracted a SHITLOAD of zombies. We fended them off, wasting all my m1911 ammo but getting 3-4 bloodbags each. I told him that this is where we depart and we both said thanks and good luck, heading off on our own ways. I returned to the others, fully supplied after respawning, and feeling great about meeting a friendly. He was a veteran who always shot on-site and I was some newly-spawned player who could have easily stole all of his stuff. It's good to know that there's a TINY chance of friendlies still being around. I decide now to give up my slogan and just try to figure out if someone is friendly before unloading onto them.

Hello, my name is Hotgreen. I enjoy killing zombies and trying to help people if they don't shoot me, just trying to get by in the zombie apocalypse.

Honestly, I have no idea what happened but as everyone was minding their own business when BOOM, everyone dies. I don't know if this was game-wide but this is just stupid. Every single person died and all of us lost a bunch of things. It would be nice if an admin could come and explain this. http://steamcommunity.com/id/hotgreensoldier/screenshot/596973338654232173 I did not manage to take a screenshots of the majority of deaths but I managed to get some of the reactions.

This may have a low chance of working but it did for some of my friends (It's still probably a load of potato though) Try running Arma 2 OA or CO as administrator through the .exe, again this is just a shot in the dark.

Due to a possibly malicious file being added to the US mirror it has been taken down for safety reasons. At least, this is what I heard. Just try using the other mirrors. Just a quote from my other post.

It could possibly be the server. For me some servers are extremely fast while others are slow, depending on how long it's been up or how many bodies or other things are on at the time. Try different servers and see if the lag varies, otherwise I have no clue.
