THAT WAS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have NO idea how much I appreciate your help. I have DayZ control back again! I can see my character, I can use the "Play" option without the game crashing (I don't have to go into the server browser anymore), and I can exit...I don[t have to use Ctrl Alt Del to shut the game down anymore!!! Thank you again, so very much. I totally forgot that I even put those commands in there back in 2013!!! I am so very happy....thank you. Now solve my loot problem.....lol. https://forums.dayz.com/topic/236078-just-a-few-quick-yes-or-no-questions/#comment-2366386

I greatly appreciate all the help from everyone who responded. I have been ALL over Tisy (on experimental) for 3 days. Bottom line, to be honest, I think my problem is a lack of fundamental understanding as it pertains to loot spawns. I watched a video by someone named WOBO, "Central Loot Economy Explained | How Loot is Respawned in #DayZ". It's tough to know if it's out of date, but here's an example of my confusion: So I'm lugging around this Winchester with a pristine scope and a Ghillie Gun Wrap I made...trying like hell to find some .308 ammo. At any rate, I spawn in a house...there is some basic loot. In the distance I see smoke, heli crash, I break off to investigate (nothing good). Once done with the heli, I go back to the house I spawned in to pick up where I left off. Now there is no loot in the house. Okay, it "despawned". Next house, empty. Next house, empty. 3 more houses, all empty. Seriously? I KNOW I'm playing on experimental, but I see amazing loot all the time when I watch other players on Twitch. I mean, they pass up the stuff I've looked for days to find. I ask to make sure. Is the server private, modded, official. They say it is official-stable, but I can't confirm. I'm starting to think the more players in the loot area, the more loot spawns. Point is, what's the procedure? Sometimes I go into a house, maybe one loot item, I don't care what it is...then as I run back through the house, more appears. SO I think that's the key, run into a loot area and wait? That only works sometimes. I mean is the loot that's going to spawn already spawned? Can I cycle the loot like Arma DayZ? Here's the strangest part...the zombies, disappeared completely. I snuck away, so it's not like they chased me and are hanging out in the next field. They were there...then they were gone. Please please please...get your friends in on this. Tell me everything about loot spawn, as basic as you may think it might be...even if it is just that basic as, "Go in, loot good, no loot, move on". I'm missing something big time here man. I'm seriously starting to think my profile/game is bugged. My load screen is blue, I can't access my character options, if I start the game with the "Play" option it will CTD, I always have to go to the server browser to get in game, when I quit I always have to Ctrl. Alt. Del. I recently tried a complete uninstall/reinstall except for the "remainder" files in the DayZ folder, I didn't delete them, and I'm thinking I should have. SOLVED! Thank you Just caused. I had some old launch commands I forgot about. Removed them, and it's not buggy anymore. Still got that loot problem though. Sorry for the book...my work just doesn't allow me a ton of time to play, so when I think of these things, I gotta get them out. Please help....I don't think my Dayz is like anyone else's DayZ....pretty sure it's jacked.

Some of these questions may be directly related to either versions, stable or experimental, of the game (ALWAYS official, never a private or modded). I know I said these questions were "yes or no", but if an answer pertains to only one version, please indicate. Heli crash sites no longer spawn weapons? Some weapons only spawn from heli crash sites? Pretty simple. The reason I ask is equally simple. Since playing standalone, I've never found the following: M4A1, MP5, AKM, AK101, FN FAL, SVD, Stery AUG, or a VSS. When I say "never" I mean never. It's not like well, this one time I did find X weapon, but no ammo. No, I mean never even seen. Ever. So here are the conditions for my attempts. Well, in real life, I'm a 3rd shift truck driver. So playing from 6 PM - 8 AM on Sat. - Sun. isn't that uncommon. I actively seek low populated servers, at night. I've played on both stable and experimental (currently active on experimental). I go to all known military spawns, nothing. I find ammo and attachments....never the actual weapon. You have to understand that I receive very little, if ANY, player resistance. I can go 4, 5, 6 days at a time, having never seen another player. Often time I might as well be playing on a private server. I grab a car and run from site to site unabated....and yet, nothing. Can anyone think of any reason why? I'm starting ot think I have a corrupted version of the game. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I only kept my "profile" files, which I'm starting to doubt I should have kept. Might be time to wipe it all again, including those files.

So...for the most part I haven't asked for anything in a long, long time. Well, I'm finally annoyed enough to ask. I haven't had access to my "Character" screen in a very long time. I cannot customize or change any aspect about my character. I'd, kind of, just like to know why. I've uninstalled the game, reinstalled. x64. Stable and experimental, nothing helps. It's looks like this: Next question is about the server browser. I've seen other people with different versions, and wondered if my was indeed up to date: Thank you, in advance, for any and all help.

Cut the BS...that's easy? Man, I've been playing Orgins too long then. As for your LoS opinion...I too said early that I don't like using exploits, yet some other players said it was working as intended. Bottom line....nothing I say in here is going to change shit. There is a ton of e-peen, trolls, and elitist. I was hoping for a more productive medium here to explain a particular point of view, but it the LOGIC (10 zombies showing up to gunshots when only 5 were in the area) keeps getting lost in the roid rage look at me BS. Then again, what can you expect from a player base that has a 90% rate for "shoot on sight". The point of MY video was to show that compared to the OP video, it's not just run by every zombie in that game....it achieved that, and I highly doubt it (the OP video) was made during the current version of 1.7.7.1. that is to say, although 1.7.7.1 might be "mild" compared to 1.7.7, it's still nothing like what was presented. I'm out....do what you will. You are the bad ass, I'm the loser, your great, I'm nothing, your opinion is everything, I'm a whiner.

Fuck it...whatever patch it is now...it's annoying. Tin cans and flares and zombies out of nowhere. Can't sneak, zombies patrol, always get infected, they never stop chasing....yeah, fuck the BS ego, it's not DayZ. This shit reminds me a Dungeon Master (if you have ever played D&D) that's trying to kill you, as opposed to just letting things unfold.

Okay, now I'm officially fucking lost. Just checking: People are saying 1.7.7 was super mega difficult? People are saying 1.7.7.1 is super easy? The OP video was from 1.7.7.1? My video (were I was hit within 2 tries, knocked down and infected) was shot on 1.7.7.1. What am I missing here? I know what I'm saying...it's that the current 1.7.7.1 is, in my opinion, unreasonably annoying. 1.7.7.1 is all risk, very little reward. I really wish people would stop vying for the top e-peen award and simply acknowledge the fact that a lot of people don't want to play in game were the player has little to no counter measures against a "cheating AI".

bad_mojo You may have missed this comment: Some of us are talking about working as intended (the addition of Super zombies) and other are talking about bugs. I'm asking why WITH the bugs are Super Zombies introduced. This is a game, not some team building workshop. We, as gamers, are forced to work withint he provided peramiters of the game. Adapt and overcome? What, how? Harsh language? When 70% of loot (even in barracks) is tin cans, you remove weapons for the most part, you remove stealth (LoS), you keep antibiotics rare, you spawn with flares, add zombie "path finding", the only logical choice is to not do anything that would cause contact with zombies, which is all but required to do anything in the game. I finally got my video up, I'm not a Youtuber, I didn't edit it (so you can hear my Son in the background), I didn't buy any special programs or codecs....it's just, yep...me. Let's recap and compare experiences. Mine - OPs - http://www.twitch.tv/thec1aw/c/2446924 Again, the game, for the most part, as far as zombies are concerned, is currently working as intended.

ALL OF THIS, but the part in bold says it all. We all play DayZ, hence, why we are here. Since day one, we have all known that the zombies in this zombie game have been glitched. We all have our stories (mine is when a zombie pushed me through the wall of the second floor of that stairs I was standing on), yet we keep playing. Very recently, I logged in after an update to find out that zombies were now retard strong, have sonar like bats, throw awesome parties in every building I want to go in...I don't know, I guess they don't like the rain or something, so as I watch, and watch for my opportunity, these fuckers don't wander aimlessly, oh no, they now walk a path...they fucking patrol now. Is this the worst, nope... the worst is that now the risk now greatly outweighs the reward. I COULD try to scavenge for loot, by why risk the endless onslaught of zombies for a 90% tin can spawn rate? I mean this...literally. I wasn't in some high loot area, I wasn't in a barrack...I was in Otmel! Fucking Otmel is the epicenter for zombie activity, trust me. They never stopped. Of course it's Otmel, that's ground zero, patient zero! You would have thought these fucking zombies were using side chat to prevent me from picking up a map! And I don't know how in the hell the OP was just dancing with zombies....holy shit. I'm working on my own video to share and display my own nightmare. 2 "hits" at best, I'm bleeding...no doubt, 3 - 5, I get an infection....and what's the idea behind infection anyway? What kind of infection are we talking about? I HOPE we aren't talking about the zombie zombie zombie infection, because that shit clears up with, get this, antibiotics! I'm pretty sure the WHO would have knocked that shit out before lunch. "We've tried everything...the virus is resistant to everything we have". "I know it's a stretch...one is a virus and the other is a bacteria...but have we tried antibiotics"? /facepalm No,the guy above me has it right, and took the words right out of my mouth. The zombies in DayZ are fucked, have been fucked, will be fucked. Why in the world anyone would want to exploit that further is beyond me. :Well, we didn't think zombies teleporting to your location, or hitting you through a wall was horrid enough....so now, we are going to make them as smart as a golden retriever, make sure they follow you for miles (Yes, I'm aware of the bush exploit, but I prefer to NOT use it), and keep you coughing until you either die, or you give away your position recycling loot (now impossible) at the hospital, and one of the 15 other players on the server looking for the same thing decides he has better odds by killing you. You want to be Mr. Badass, zombies-don't-mean-shit-to-me-because-I'm-the-fucking-Alpha-on-my-server, more power to ya...but know this, the game has ot be balanced. Increase loot spawns, give me something more than flares starting out, place antibiotics in more than ONE location and as a rare spawn chance. I'll see if I can get that video going to illustrate my point.
