This man speaks the truth. You can get studio quality semi-closed full ear headphones for as low as 40$. No point in spending 100$ for turtle/logi/razer overhyped 7.1-3D-vibration-led-lights-bling-bling. A good pair of headphones with a good sound card still pwns all of these "gaming" sets. On the other hand, you do own an alienware. So I guess you like overpriced bling.

It's just glue (or really strong adhesive stickers) holding them in place. Use a heat gun or a hairdryer to warm the glue up so it liquifies again. I'm pretty sure there are vids on youtube showing how easy it is. Gluing them back on should be harder :P

It will also affect the heatsinks. I'm pretty sure the thermal conductivity (if any) will drop with layers of spray paint, essentially making them having the opposite effect than the one they're supposed to. Anyhow, most ram heatsinks are eyecandy. You could as well remove them completely and replace them with some copper ones that actually work. Not that you need them, but meh.

So, in order to provide some users the option to roll back (personally I don't consider that a feature, users should always play the current patch in order to debug and help the development go forward, not backwards, especially after all this time dayz was in the freezer. Also this way the community becomes more fragmented than it already is) we screw the retail owners over by what is essentially the end/deprecation of retail support. You know I appreciate the work and the level of commitment you guys have put in the project, but that's just wrong. I always remote connect since the built-in server filtering isn't that good.

Not trying to start an argument, but out of curiosity why is that? I mean why is steam the "best way" and not a zip file on this page like all other previous updates?

Hold on a sec. Let me get this straight. So all us users playing on a non-steam retail version have to completely uninstall everything, install steam, reinstall Arma 2:CO, reinstall dayz and reconfig everything in order to obtain the latest patch? Seriously BIS? Seriously? Meh. I'll stick to the older patch as long servers support it.

I think they already do that. But I could be wrong.

More stuff I noticed while playing 1.8.1 (same private hive server as yesterday, "ZeroSurvival.net 1.8.1 [No Loadouts or Donor Crap][Rare Vehicles]blahblah" and IP/port 144.76.72.235:2314). 1) The machete shoots blanks. It's like it doesn't work at all. I had the zed right in front of me hitting me, and I couldn't do any damage to it. I remember it used to has less range than the hatchet but now it just won't do anything, well except the woosh woosh sound. 2) Zeds still glitching under barn floors. Got infected by a crouched viral one (at least on standing ones you can see their heads prodruding through the floor), who decided to jump and hit me while I was having a snack. 3) Empty gear indicators in buildings (especially in barns). There is a gear icon popup yet there is no gear at all. 4) I read on sidechat that people couldn't take gear from their corpses. And as I was down to 1000 blood, infected, coughing etc I thought I'd drop everything on the ground so I can come back and pick it up, not having to deal with any corpse bugs. So I die (proned, hidden in the woods), respawn 500 meters down the road, run back to the place I died. My corpse wasn't there. Flies were there, and multiple green gear indicators. But as I opened each one of them there was no gear at all. I must have dropped a full inventory worth of gear, a full backpack and 4-5 tools. And yet there was nothing there, although there were many gear popup indicators suggesting the gear was there, yet invisible. 5) Glitched doors at farm warehouses (the rusty metal huge ones). One set of doors wouldn't close or open. The other one worked fine. 6) The add to back option seems to be removed from the popup menu when you find a weapon. The switching system also seems kinda broken, there aren't any arrows in the inventory screen until you equip a second item. But what if you don't have a secondary weapon/tool? I think the arrows should be there at all times, maybe I don't want to walk through a town wiedling a rifle thus posing a threat to everyone whom I meet. Also, the switching is instant. I thought there was supposed to be some kind of artificial delay system between switching hand/back weapons. 7) Not really a bug, but each time I enter the multiplayer section of arma II in order to connect to a DayZ server I get a popup window informing me that patch 1.62 is available for download. Any way to kill that permanently? That's all for now, can't comment on fps cause I play on a crappy pc on a full server. Yes, please do that. PS One last thing I noticed. Arma2oa.exe runs a process in Local Settings/temp/ named tmp0 approximately 3-5 minutes after you join a server. I can't recall it being there prior to this patch. Any info about what it does and why it takes so long to start? If you don't allow it through your firewall you get "connection lost" msgs and finally a disconnect.

I have a bug to report, or so I think. I finally managed to install 1.8.1 and find a server with 3p=on and ch=off. Anyhow, I got lost in the woods (haven't played for ages) and started losing blood due to dehydration. Thing is, while I had full HP (12k) and no zed ever touched me, when I started -slowly yet steadily- losing blood-points cause of thirst, the blood arrow indicator pointed upwards and not downwards. It didn't change for a sec, always pointing up while I've lost over 1.5k of blood. I also didn't drink, eat or done anything to justify such a behavior. I thought while you're losing blood it's supposed to point down and when you're gaining it points up. It wasn't a public hive server but a private one, so it might be a unique problem on that particular server, but I thought I'd post it here anyways. The server's name was "ZeroSurvival.net 1.8.1 [No Loadouts or Donor Crap][Rare Vehicles]blahblah" and IP/port 144.76.72.235:2314.

As SGT. Kalme already said, mechanical keyboards are worth the money. So if you're going to spend ~$100 I think you should be looking at a mechanical, instead of a rubber dome. Coolermaster Trigger series also have programmable macro keys.

Finally some -good- news! Keep it up r4z0r.

No release date. Start reading from here and follow that thread.

@ Elle Obviously he's playing the DayZ mod since he is posting on the DayZ mod section and mentions 1.62 Arma II version. @ sachaXD3 Starting gear depends on the server you join. Most are modded. Try to join only official servers, you can use the filtering system in DayZ Commander. You can also use said program to update your arma versions. If you want more help you'll have to provide more info. Which bundle did you buy, steam or no-steam, current versions, etc.

Important tip: As you can see, in the first picture there's also a small cloth pouch-like thing. This acts like a filter, it gets attached to the hole you can see at the side of the blowers. If any of you guys goes on to buy such a device, make sure you are getting one including such a pouch/filter, cause many companies don't provide one in the box. This pouch helps filter all air going into the blower, thus keeping it internally clean and also blocking small objects entering (dangerous situation). Not to mention this way you're blowing dust/cathair free air inside your pc. So always get a model including this little black bag/filter. There you go.
