The game works fine. That is the downfall of being a new player. You don't really know how to survive, and therefore you are going to die. Either find morphine, jump off a roof, or wait and starve to death. That is why DayZ is so amazing, you have to plan ahead and not just rush into a town hoping to find a big ass gun.

Yeah joining an empty server is probably your best hope. You can modify files and download things to make DayZ single player, but it is hard and often doesn't work.

That isnt true at all. There are fewer hackers than ever on the game. Probably 1 out of every 2000 players are hackers. Standalone is nothing compared to mod. Sure it works, but the mod has so much content and is so fun, you can play it for days. I have 355 hours on it and still have fun.

As square said, delete the mission caches of ALL locations (local data, steam folder, etc) for both arma 2 and OA. Is this only on one server, or all epoch servers? You said vanilla dayz works fine, so it must be a problem in epoch. under Dayz commander, reinstall epoch. Load up the game again and see if it still does it. If it does, go into your local data. Easiest way to do this is by opening Run (windows key + R) and typing in %localappdata% From there, go into Arma 2 OA folder and open the ArmA2OA RPT file. This is basically a log of every game you join. Scroll to the very bottom, and copy and paste the last 20 lines or so into a reply here.

I went into my local data>arma 2 OA and looked at the RPT file. Found this: It seems that infistar is loaded in, but then I get kicked, which makes sense becasue it probably takes 1-5 seconds for it to load, then decides whether or not im hacking. Detects that I am, but I am not, and kicks me back to lobby. In my arma experience, if it has been an arma issue, it would give an error message. If it was a BE error, it still would give a message. But because Infistar is 3rd party, it isnt programmed to say why you were kicked, but boots you back to main menu instead.

I too am having this issue. I played for 4-5 hours one day and then I randomly was booted to lobby. After that, I would only be in game for 1-5 seconds before getting booted again. I have tried manually installing the BE .dll files, but of course this did nothing. I read somewhere that it was due to BE not updating but I have eliminated that because the admin added me to the BE whitelist of the server. I DO use this mod called ENB for improved graphics. But you place it in the Arma 2 OA, not a separate folder like DayZ. Every other server is working however, so i believe it is the settings the admin has on it. I am reinstalling the game right now to see if this fixes the problem. If not, I really have no idea what to do.

So true.

Does anyone remember when Dayz was that game where you didn't really know what was going on? When you moved from town to town barely able to survive with your one can of beans and refillable water bottle. For me, this made DayZ more fun and scary. You never knew what to expect or what will happen. Playing with friends made the experience more personal. I guess all I want is the immersion to return. Now it seems that every server lets you spawn where you want and/or gives you good starting loot. I wouldn't be complaining as much if there were hardcore servers, but there are barely any now. DayZ should feel like a post-apocalyptic world, not just a deathmatch where everyone gathers and stores weapons. It was that feeling of not knowing where to go or what to do that made Dayz so addictive.

No i havent. Been waiting for when more guns and features are released. Thanks for the info though.

But then people will just put down sleeping tents or whatever near a major loot point. It will turn into one of those servers that let you spawn where you want. It ruins DayZ and makes it so much easier.

Obviously thats not what he meant. It doesnt requrie a whole lot of brain power to infer what he meant.

I think if we combined the best mods (overwatch, vanilla, and epoch) it would be amazing. Crafting from epoch, the weapons from Overwatch, and the various features on vanilla would make it amazing. Also improve grouping. Add a group bonus for players, like a small buff if you have four or more players. Use the grouping system from Wasteland for example. I think removing the side, global, group chats would also improve it. Instead, have radios be required to chat across the map. Even add in some feature to hack into a conversation. In general, i feel Dayz is so easy for those who have played before, and that makes it boring. So instead of having random loot spawns, make it more realistic. Obviously you aren't going to find a random weapon or a can of beans in a deer stand.

I guess I am a bandit, although i would never really think of myself as one. It comes out of fear of death that i will shoot someone, but not is it always necessary.
