    Getting this game to run was an extreme hassle. Getting this game to run now even seems like a bigger hassle.

    A lot of my friends that are playing this have low to medium technical knowledge. If I have to RDP into somebody's computer to help get their copy of the game running' date=' yes, it's hard. It's also a huge deterrent.

    Thank god for the difficulty, as soon as this Mod becomes a simple click and run affair, the COD Noobs in their thousands will descend on the game and these forums making everything so much more.. worser.

    I like that you need a super computer and some intermediate PC manipulation skills to get this game working. For the time being at least its keeping the crowd slightly above retard level.

    Yep, that's one of the many good things about this game :D

    Lemme preface this by saying I'm a software tools and test developer for a game company' date=' avid gamer, and have spent years doing tech support.

    Don't get me wrong, this game is fun, but the process to keep playing this game is almost as hard as sticking somebody unfamiliar with Linux in front of a Linux box with fullscreen terminal up and telling them to browse the internet there.

    Thinking about doing other things until the beta patch is released and coming back to DayZ then.

    Then you must be having some problems or doing something wrong, 'cause when I installed the mod back in 1.6 I had no problems at all. Yeah, sometimes the game lags or you get "retrying to authenticate" or something like that, but if you install that new ArmA 2 Beta Patch it fixes "retrying to authenticate" and makes the game run much smoother. I used to lag on lowest settings with 1920x1080 resolution, now I can play on very high with 50fps. And, really, the game is so much fun any hassle you have getting it to work is going to be worth it.

    P.S: I know how to install a GPU and stuff like that, but as far as being able to write scripts and stuff like that, I have no idea what I'm doing and I installed the mod with ease. Yes, it could use an auto-installer or something like that, but if you follow instructions on how to install you should be fine.
