Mugwump (DayZ)

I'm on a stable build. Just tried running steam as admin and still the same error. Just going to re-install and see how that goes. Thanks for the advice so far.

I have done that a few times now and the same thing happens. Probably should have put i did that to stop you wasting your time!

Everytime i try to join a server, i get a "cannot open file " message with " dayz\tmp\_cur_mp.pbo" at the end of it. Anyone got any ideas?

I would deliberatly not use the search bar just to annoy people like you. In the time it took you to post about the search bar, you could have actually been helpful and said there was maintainence.

But the game is also about exploring and gathering equipment, resources etc. People who want to KOS will always camp the places with the best resources. Even if you are careful you will still get killed by people. I personally wouldnt want to play a PvE server on DayZ as i said before, PvP doesnt bother me, I like that part of the game. I'm just interested to see how many people would actually play on a non PvP server.

It doesnt mean maybe somebody else out there will see there is a market for a game of that type though. Being KOS does get a bit old sometimes, especially when you just get people that camp certain places all the time. Its not an overly big issue for me, but i do get how it can be frustrating for some players.

While i love the PvP, it would be good to have a single player experience type game as well where you have to fend for yourself without the threat of idiots killing you for no reason. I know its a different game, but there are pure PvE servers in World of Warcraft for example. Might have to be a totally different game than Dayz to achieve this sort of thing, but for some people it could still be a challenging game. Not everyone likes PvP, not everyone wants to play purely against a computer AI.
