TheProphecy

Both ideas have been posted numerous times.

Had this happen to me earlier. Aborting and reconnecting fixed it.

I'm assuming you have Steam. There are a few ways to get around this issue, but this is the easiest IMO. 1. Install ArmA II beta patch 93965. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php 2. Download DayZ Launcher. http://www.richardbenson.co.uk/2012/05/dayz-launcher-and-updater.html#.T-cFDPWYlCM. 3. Run the launcher. 4. ????? 5. Profit

IDK, I just don't see anyone willing to give up their gear, let alone a vehicle just for points on a leaderboard.

Another problem with "escaping" is that it's already possible. There are boats and helicopters in the mod already, so players could technically leave if they wanted to, they would just end up in a debug zone. I mean, I'm trying to find something appealing about this idea, but I can't. If I have good gear that's fairly hard to come by, I don't want to trade it in for points on a leaderboard.

I can't understand for the life of me why people want a Left 4 Dead style extract, or any sort of "escape Chernarus" scenario in general. And the only incentive of this is to get a high score on a leaderboard? Does anyone actually care about a leaderboard? What happens when you wind up off shore (where you could probably swim to, BTW)? Are you supposed to just respawn and lose all your gear to try and get a higher score?

Download the latest beta patch from here. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php. There is a guide on these forums detailing how to install, so I would recommend checking that out.

Some people are willing to cooperate, but most people aren't. Best bet is to find someone who just respawned and has nothing. If you have a gun and don't kill that person, they might show some appreciation if you help him/her find a weapon themselves and either team with you or just go your separate ways. If both of you have nothing, you can't be hostile. If you're in a situation like that and the guy you're with finds a gun before you and decides to kill you with it, he's a douchebag, IDK what else to say. It's a diceroll when being a lone wolf encountering random people, don't know what else to say. I did the lone wolf thing for awhile and got bored, been playing with a small group for almost a week now and the mod seems more fun. If you're looking for a group PM me, otherwise it's just a dog eat dog world in the zone.

The humanity system was just removed because it didn't make sense at all. Player killing is a big part of this mod, so if you have a problem with getting killed by players instead of zombies you should probably look for that old SP version of DayZ that's floating around the internet somewhere.

Are you running the newest ArmA II beta patch, 93965 and the latest build of DayZ, 1.7.1.5?

Probably sounds like a stupid question, but are you low on blood/in shock?

Hmmm. Go into your DayZ folder, go to addons and then let me know what it says for "Date Modified" on all your files.

When you extracted the 1.7.1.5 files into your DayZ folder, did you make sure to hit "copy and replace" instead of "keep both files?"

Well, here's the thing. ArmA II is a horribly optimized game. It destroys your CPU while it doesn't rely too heavily on your graphics card. A 3GHz dual core should be sufficient to run the game fairly well. I think you should be okay if you upgrade the graphics card. Just make sure your motherboard and power supply can support it.

I'm assuming you are joining low population night servers, sneaking into the deer stand, moving back out to a safe distance, logging out and then rinsing and repeating?

So is it safe to just ignore the message or is there a chance I could get banned?

I never had framerate issues up until this newest string of 1.7.1.x updates. Normally when I play I still get 30+ FPS, but when it starts raining the number goes down to 20 or so. Sometimes when I'm in Cherno/Elektro, I'll literally get 1 FPS and the game is unplayable. I've also been getting straight up lag in servers (some more than others) which is also new to the 1.7.1.x string of updates. IDK what to say because I haven't found a fix, all I can say is I don't think it's on our end and hopefully a future update (fingers crossed for 1.7.2) will fix the issues.

Where are you at? If you are in Cherno or Elektro or a big city like that and you see no loot and no zombies, there's a problem. If you're at a random building and you're spawning in it hoping to find loot, move to another building and see if that is spawning loot/zombies.

How is it possible to have a rig with a 1TB HD, 6 GB of RAM but no video card? That onboard chipset is meant for browsing the internet and watching low quality videos, nothing more. You need a discreet graphics card if you want to play games.

Does this happen for every single server you try to join, or just a certain server? This happens to me occasionally on a shitty server. It forces me to task manager out of the game and shut it down, but joining a stable server fixes the problem.

This is a normal error, happens for everyone. I don't think this is the reason why loot isn't spawning. Were there zombies in the vicinity of the area you were trying to loot?

If new spawn points are introduced, players will just keep respawning until they get the closest possible spawn to the NWA/NEA/Stary. Until they make those places harder to loot, spawns should be restricted to the coast.

I have the rarest weapon in the game according to the wiki (probably not accurate, but whatev), the FN FAL ANPV S4. The problem is, I have one clip for it and the ammo can only be found at other crashed heli sites, making the gun a burden instead of an incredible asset.
