Even tho standalone is pretty much a 'port' of the current mod we still know very little about anything. They arent releasing jack shit for info on anything. When the dev blogs start blatently 'avoiding' realeasing info by trying to distract us(ie. the animations video) you can kind of guess theyre waiting for a specific moment to release the beefy stuff. My point... We dont know anything. All i can confirm is that there is no loot piles. The inventory system is completely overhauled. Frankieonpc has confirmed he has been in contact with the devs and will have permission to release videos when the game is in closed testing. Thats what im waiting for for info.

nah, as long as you didnt hack a weapon in personally you'll be fine. Even if you did hack the weapon in the chances of getting banned are like .0000001% so just play.

Topic pretty much says it all. My name is Niall, im from Ireland and im 26 years old. I have a long history of gaming including countless FPSs and MMOs. I ive been playin since the early days and like to take dayZ seriously at the important times and have fun in the downtime. Basicly i need to find myself a group/partner who are/is serious about gettin into the high end areas often and wanna take part in 'end game'. Can use any voice comms, ts2 preferred. Have 2 characters to play different roles when needed. Things i cannot stand and dont have patience for is disorganisation and spam on comms, this is a must have. Young children on comms. General douchebaggery :) If any of you out there need a new valuable asset and wanna arrange a meet feel free to PM me here on the forums or for a quicker reply e-mail me at niallmc[-at-]gmail,com (sorry for the anti spam measures). Hopefully talk soon, Niall.

Not sure i havent dabbled with it yet but check the your key bindings in game and see if theres anything thats default bounds to scroll lock and try use that. Alternatively if you have a good mouse with third party software you could try bind a button on your mouse within the third party software to the scroll lock key and that should work as its a bind outside of the game and should act exactly like you clicked scroll lock

Try manually updating battle eye, google it.

Couldnt have said it better myself, while i dont play specifically on 24/7 daytime servers i do avoid night servers. Night time is so black you literally cant see your gun in front of your face, use a flashlight? They suck. Use flares? Also suck. Just make you a big moving target for everything within 1000 meters. The moonlit nights are alot more forgiving and ive often played in moonlight however simply seeing a server is night is enough to make me not play on it. When night time is revamped to be more 'playable' for the lack of a better word i will certainly look forward to playing at night.

Yup thats why 2 of the developers have been charged with espionage in greece. Taking photos of a military base for use in arma 3.

found 5 toolboxes in 1 industrial area last night >_< that was 3 buildings

all hacked weapons, you fail.

I'd be interested, also in a similar situation, currently well geared with 2 characters skype me niall.mc.co

Hey all, Ive recently returned to dayz after a couple of months out and im looking for a squad to join. Ideally a mature group very well organised with a certain amount of seriousness when it comes to high end content. I enjoy raiding the high risk areas with organised teammates, hunting down players and of course finding excellent loot. Im 26 years of age, experienced with all weapons, can drive(havent quite mastered flying yet), consider myself serious about gaming but well able to have a laugh when the time is right. Im Irish and so im in GMT timezone but i literally play all different hours of the day. I have 2 characters, 1 for serious business and one for fun time. Reply here or send me a PM if you want to know more or find me on skype @ niall.mc.co EDIT: I can use any voice comms, think i have them all at this stage. Niall.

Nothing but issues with HFB since we got our server, for anyone reading this i would not reccomend them

throw in an m4a3 cco sd or better (non sd included) and youve got a deal

Sorry i should say this only works with asdw and not the arrow keys

Not sure if this is a bug or just really bad programming but if you want to place ur tent here is how... Crouch Open youre gear Right click the tent Hit C You should now be able to move around with your gear open and repeatedly try place the tent youll get eventually when u keep moving

Any time

Copy the aram2oa exe file from expansions/beta folder then overwrite the exe in the main operation arrowhead folder and u can launch the beta through steam just fine

Really not sure what to say but id reccomend doin some research into wat ports BE uses and try open them on ur router, try disabling ur firewall. Its possible the newest BE update changed the way it works or something along them lines, i really dont know.

Is it just me or are most of the posts in the announcement forum completely 'out dated'? Thats a forum i check regularly and i find i need to scroll through carefully to find anything new. Alot of the posts are so outdated theyre meaningless and could be just archived to tidy the forum up a little, maybe just drop the stickies and only sticky posts that are still valid?

Calm down there, when i said "third party software" i meant software that is in no way tied to the game and particularly things like sixupdater or dayzcommander... i was not specificly referring to your guide in anything i said as i havent read it and im not sure what it entails, so chill out. The reason i tend to not class steam as third party in this case is because when the game is purchased through steam it is officially turned into a "launcher" for your specific purchased game. The reason i reccomended the original poster to use it is that it also automatically manages CD keys through your account rather than locally on your machine. As ive said i have 2 steam accounts and use both of them to play 2 seperate DayZ chars hassle free with no requirement to go near regedit. The only thing i needed to do was set launch parameters in properties for the second account. Its clear your guide works and is a method of having 2 accounts on 1 machine. It's also clear that my method works(seen as im using it daily) and is a method of having 2 accounts on one machine. I dont think this is a competition to see who's method is better, so you can leave out the "dissing". The OP asked for help and he got plenty of replies with numerous options and solutions and that is what forums generally are about, an original post followed by replies of discussion, opinion and general help.

I havent looked at that guide, im in bed and on my phone dont really have the energy. What im saying is that if you were to make 2 steam accounts and buy the game on both accounts, you only need to download and install the game and mod once, and updates only need to be applied once. It can be ran normally through steam with out any 'fiddling' around. Why? Because steam uses the same instalation no matter how many times u change accounts as long as u have purchased the game on each. Running the game through steam is alot better than using 3rd party software, in my experience its just another layer of software which can cause problems. Its a little bit bit more complicated doin it tge old way but much friendlier when its done. If youd like to follow up send me a private msg and ill do my best to get on skype with you and explain better.

I also have 2 accounts but no issues with logging into either. I have noticed a massive increase in loading times and sometimes it seems the game has crashed but usually it loads in eventually.

If you have 2 accounts on steam you can run both easily without modifying any files or registry values. I have 2 characters on 2 different steam accounts. They both run off the exact same installation so i only ever have to update the game once and to play the other character i simply change steam accounts, the only preperation i had to do was copy and paste my command line prompt from one account to the other. Your character is tied to your 'cdkey' but fortunately for steam users your cd key is stored within your steam account so its pretty simple.

Update?

quick question, in my 2 months of play i have never looted a ghillie or camo suit... what exactly do they look like on the ground? At first i thought they looked like the basic mag/compass/map item but i've long disregarded that idea and now reckon they look more like a the stupid tiny backpack thats seems to be everywhere(smaller than the starter pack). Would be a big help if i knew what form they had on the ground.
