I thought it would be cool if your guns could jam and you would have to fix them or get a new weapon. This would make dayz slightly harder as you would have to go loot again instead of looting once and being fine pretty much forever. This would be a good way to make snipers to move sometimes. The jamming would be pretty rare, and there could be guns that are rusty and last a lot less than guns that are in good condition. Also guns could be a lot more common, and you wouldn't have to run around as much to find a gun. This would be a nice addition as you no longer have a pistol when you spawn. This is just a suggestion, if anyone knows ways to improve it, let me know :). Personally I think this would be pretty cool, as I don't know any other games than Far Cry 2 that has jamming guns. I can imagine this being a popular suggestion, but I just thought about it and I'd like to suggest it.

Basically, I just played DayZ with my friend on my own server, I ran all the way from three valleys to elektro and I lost my shotgun when I tried to store it in my bag, lost like 50 shots there. I ran all the way to cherno with an ak with no ammo etc. and finally I got into a farm house (ones with stairs on both sides or w/e) near cherno and found a double barreled shotgun... well, I shot a zombie and took baked beans from it, then another one came inside and it walked through the door then ran at me and hit me several times, I pumped like 4 shots on it then it finally died, and I used 3 bandages and I was still bleeding, and like 2mins later I died. I wouldn't really mind about losing my stuff, but it seems like I was killed by a bug, which is quite annoying. It was my own server and I had 0ms ping all the time so lag probably isn't the problem (I also run it on the same computer.) The version that I have is 1.7.7.1, and the server is the same version obviously. I use the server to play with my friends without having bandits everywhere.

Well, I reinstalled my server and dayz etc. and now the server runs, I just put a password on it and it's done. My ISP wont allow port forwarding etc. so it's probably not visible and that's fine, also I tried to join another server and it didn't have my stuff, which is good because I don't want to cheat by collecting stuff from my own server and then popping into another one. Thanks anyway, I am learning the basics well by playing with my roommate, might play some proper servers at some point. :)

Basically, me and my roommate want to play DayZ without other players, but when we run it on lan it either freezes on the loading or gives an error. We don't need saving or anything, we just want to play without others. I tried to edit the single player DayZ to add a second player but that didn't really work.

Didn't seem to work, but I did get a lot of errors when I patched my arma 2 + oa earlier, I just ignored them

Basically, all of a sudden I can't look up or down because the aiming deadzone seems to be maxed vertically but not horizontally, I don't know what caused it but I did press something when I tried to prone, and that might have started it, it's really annoying, if I go into third person my character clearly looks at the ground, and the crosshair isn't on the floor. I really doubt that installing custom missions would cause that, but in case it can, I do have some custom missions, I recently made a separate folder for dayz so it doesn't have any mods. I do have a little bit of aiming deadzone mostly, but it's not fun to have some horizontally and maxed out vertically, and I can't look up or down. EDIT it seems like it's normal, but the camera wont move at all, which makes it look like it's the deadzone... So clearly somethings really wrong
