critical

After weeks of handling updates manually on my own I decided to see what all the fuss with SixUpdater was about. Soon enough after installing it I started getting weird errors. I also had friends not being able to join up to date servers while they were using it. My verdict is that alpha modding shit should be handled manually and not by some random ass "launcher". This way gives you more control and visibility if something gets screwed up on the way or if there are any bugs. This mod is in no way difficult to install and manage and the only thing requiring a know-how is handling file directories - literally putting shit into places. OT: The problem in this case is NOT with the game or the retailer but the user.

Items dissappearing when you try to put them into a FULL packpack is an old bug, you should count slots needed and clear your backpack beforehand. I had no problems with loot on the newest version either.

I think you misunderstood me. There is one server that I am able to connect to with the 94945 beta patch (and incidentally it's the one where I have all my gear stored on, hehe) while every other server locks you up at loading. I guess this server's admins did something right?

For some reason there's one server I am able to connect to with beta 94945. I also had to update BattleEye manually to be able to join it again after they upgraded to 1.7.2.3 because I was getting the "Battleye Initialization Failed" bug. (all other servers worked fine without it)

Replace the .exe with the older one

Lies. There's no official posts nor download updates.

Here you go: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=30828 This is the new Crashed Helicopter map thread after the original got abandoned after about 130 pages.

I travel a lot on ATVs and Bicycles on a server that seems to crash/restart a lot and what I described happens to my vehicles 100% of the time. From my experience and understanding it should be the player's location that's updated more often and the vehicle's only on entering/exiting and saving. Either way, having vehicles teleport around is annoying and really disruptive. I wish it was higher on Rocket's to-do list.

I never had any problems with the ghillie suits or camo gear. I was also always using the latest beta patches.

The L85 is rarer and a little bit more useful since the thermal vision works great at night and during the day. My only gripe with it is that the scope is configured like a sniper rifle and its zoom levels are way too far for your usual carbine/rifle mid-range engagements.

It's not the fault of sever rollback (those cannot happen because location, inventory and such are stored on the HIVE). The problem is with how HIVE handles vehicle location. There are 2 instances when vehicle locations are saved: when you get on/off vehicles and when you Save the vehicle in the mouse scroll menu. This makes driving both frustrating and dangerous, especially on servers that crash a lot and if you plan on exiting your vehicle often on the way.

Yes. The character is bound to your CDKEY. Is your brother using a separate copy of Arma:OA? Until he reinstalls the game with a different cdkey he will keep on logging onto your character and if he dies, your character will be fresh when you log back in on your own pc.

Nope. Many of them crash or restart randomly, screwing the night/day cycle up the pipe.

Why make a new thread while using the information and even the same files other people worked on in the proper thread that started it?

Shit, son. You just told the whole forums how to reliably dupe. Better edit your post and delete the duping instructions.

Could you kindly share your server's name? I'd be happy to post an abuse complaint in your name if you feel incapable of doing it by yourself.

Any servers not following the guidelines will be disconnected from the centralized character database. No ip changing will help you in circumventing that. As you don't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed, I'm starting to doubt your capabilities to run any servers at all. Smells like a troll.

Ummm, the L85 has both Night and Thermal vision. It's only the FN FAL that has the Night Vision only scope.

I think the M4A1 HOLO is also considered rare? I have only found one ever and tons of all the other rare things.

I heard about crashed 130s spawning a few times on the forums. Seems pretty bogus though, since Rocket, nor anyone on the team, ever mentioned them being in.
