I would if you didn't have to use that stupid third party updater/installer that never works.

I only exit out using the "close" buttons. There is no "save" option in the config menu.

Every time I start DayZ I reset my "Hold Breath" key bind to "B" and remove "hold second mouse button." I also change my interact binding to scroll wheel only. Once I back out of those key bindings it shows the new binding, however once I exit out of the whole menu it ALWAYS resets back to the default. I have set other bindings and have no problem getting them to stay, however these two refuse to stay on the news bindings I set and always reset. What could I be doing wrong and why won't DayZ accept the new binds?

So because I want to PVP and engage other players instead of running around looking for beans that makes me a COD player? What do you do in this game? Spend your entire time fishing?

I have two (1st person and 3PP) five month old characters with fully decked gear - bipod mosins with LRS, MP M4 with all the sights, tactical vests, 300 rounds of ammo, etc. They represent dozens of hours of scouring for loot, and then when they were fully-geared and all the hackers started stealing from inventory, I got scared to use them and let them sit on the servers all this time. Now I want to use them before the wipe but I have no idea where to go to find other players since I haven't played in so long. One is in berezino and the the other is in NWAF. Where should I go to find players? Thanks.

Lol. You're saying that giving noobs cans of food is more exciting than PVP? And what would be the point of giving them food? What is their end game? To find food and give it to other noobs in some kind of huge circle of life? If you had it your way, people wouldn't shoot others on site. So then no one would ever engage in PVP except in rare circumstances. Sounds super lame.

I mean that I feasibly have a defense against players who are using speedhacks and unlimited ammo. I have zero defense against gear stealers. I'm American. I guess I never considered rephrasing it because I didn't think anyone would actually interpret my post as someone coming onto the official DayZ forums and stating that they hack the game so they can counter the hackers. If I was going to do that, it would make sense for me to use the same hacks as them and steal it right back. My point was that I can learn to play with an occasional hacker who modifies their speed or ammo. I absolutely can't play the game with hackers who can steal all of my gear straight out of my inventory.

This has been an issue for 6 months now. I have it too and have to exit Dayz and completely restart when joining a new server. It is in the bug tracker and acknowledged but devs have not updated it at all and to my knowledge, not progressed at attempting to fix it (or at least are saying if they have). I doubt it will be fixed anytime soon so you should probably try a complete reinstall. I think that is the only thing fixing it.

I've lost faith. Millions of dollars in sales. More than a hundred people working on it, and they still can't push fixes and development at a decent pace. I seriously doubt vehicles will be in before 2015. They can't get a handle on the rampant hacking situation, and there are huge bugs that they haven't even addressed on the bug tracker other than to say "acknowledged." The sardine art is a tuna can and the tuna art is a sardine can. How hard is it to switch those?

I cannot believe I leave the game for FIVE months because of the hacking, and then when I come back it is worse than ever. There is absolutely no way I am going to spend 20 hours looking for gear when hacks exist where players can instantly steal gear directly out of your inventory. At least with unlimited ammo and speedhacks I have some defense. This is game breaking.

I recently started playing again after a 4 month break. Some of my settings constantly reset. I rebind my hold breath key to change it to "F" and then remove "F" as default action. Whenever I restart the game though, they are always reset back to the defaults and I have to rebind them. The other custom bindings I have done don't change. I have also noticed that my server filters keep resetting. At one point I put the phrase "experimental" in the server filter. Whenever the aforementioned config bindings reset, my server filter also reverts back to including the phrase "experimental" in it. Where is it even getting that information from after I have removed it?

I was watching a streamer and noticed he was able to gradually change the zoom level on his LRS. For mine, when I press my right mouse button to zoom, it automatically zooms all the way in to 100%. How do I change my key binds so I can gradually adjust it if I want, and do something like only zoom in a little bit, or all the way?

Helping people do what? Get geared enough so they can PVP? What's the end game?

I don't think you understand the definition of "literally."

I had two characters on experimental - one on regular and one on hardcore. Decent gear on them but only a few hours worth. Both characters received the "unable to load your character data and it has been wiped" message. I also had it happen yesterday, and earlier this morning. I'm not complaining, just wanted to warn people who might want to keep characters longer than 4 hours and play on experimental.
