UPDATE - Thank you for the attempt to help above. It is very appreciated. I wanted to let everyone know that after I made my post I decided I would reboot my PC before trying anything else. I don't know if the steps I took previously worked in conjunction with the reboot or what, but I was able to play on my first try after that. I did not need to take any of the further steps as outlined above. Thanks!

I recently updated to the newest DayZ build today. It did a BattleEye update as well. I have not played for about a month or so. Now when I try to join a server it last for about 30 seconds once loaded then kicks me to the main menu. It shows the correct BattleEye version in the server messages. After 30 seconds It kicks me out and sends me back to the Main Menu. I have tried several servers and yielded the same result. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game thru Steam. I have uninstalled and manually installed the BattleEye Client per the directions on the BattleEye website. I get the same error message in all scenarios. I can find nothing in the forums that is of any help. Please assist. "Confirmation of Changes Authentication Timeout" BattleEye Client:v1.223 DayZ version 0.52.126010

you forgot CARDIO

Site your references because cross platform MP FPS games do not exist. In fact the console version(s) of DayZ Standalone will unlikely be cross-platform. The versions and their respective communities will be quite separate. Shenanigans.

It makes me laugh when PC folks claim you can't aim accurately with a game pad controller. Seriously, lolz. YOU can't do it because YOU use only a keyboard and mouse setup. IF you have ever tried you probably sucked at it and vowed to never try again! Its just like any peripheral kids, the more you use it, the more you train, the better you can get with it. Some folks can use both, some are born with a controller in their hand, others a mouse. It's all preference. Anything else is just subjective semantics. Stop quoting mouse sensitivity stats also. Just because the mouse is capable doesn't mean you are. Zoinks.

This post seems like a 14 year old wrote it. Pot to kettle, pot to kettle....come in please....*psssshhhhhfffffffshhhh.....

First off, a PORT wouldn't happen until the game is ready and Alpha is over. So there is no issue to freak out over here. Second, with STEAM launching their own STEAM machines including their own game pad controller, they are looking at getting into the living room market and competing with consoles. They will be pushing for game pad controller support on STEAM games in the future and may even make it a requirement. It would behoove any publisher to integrate and support both control schemes in their games from the beginning and open themselves up to new markets. They are in this to make money, not stroke your ego or fuel the petty Console Vs. PC war. Just because you can't wrap your head around how they would accomplish this doesn't mean its not possible. I play games across multiple platforms. One shining example from just the last year is Diablo III. I played it on PC from launch and it had major issues, not just in the controls either. Later a console version came out. Guess what...the controls on console were WAY better than the PC version. That as well as gameplay mechanics changes and balancing made a mediocre unrewarding PC game into an awesome console game. So good in fact I uninstalled it on my PC. (PC version has finally caught up but I gave up on caring.) It can be done, and it can be done well.

I am friendly, but I hide from you like a ninja.

There are alternatives to the in game map which you have to find first to use anyhow. Try; http://www.izurvive.com/ (also there is an app for this on iphone and droid) or http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus Both of these are regularly updated with loot spawn locations and new towns, etc.

Or ponies.

What he said. Berenzino is currently the PvP hotspot. People camp it all day for target practice. Treat it as a major hostile area and trust no one.

I dont know if this case was 100% combat logging. The guy was fleeing from you right? You were pursuing him right? I could easily see this person thinking they had gotten far enough away from you that they thought they could log off successfully. You can't assume he was aware that you were stalking him and so attempted to combat log to save his hide. Now if you tell me he was fleeing and exchanging fire with you the entire time and the engagement was ongoing up to the point where you saw him go into the house and rushed in after him...?...then it was definitely combat logging. Combat logging is the logging out in the middle of an actual firefight to avoid death. As in you initiate combat and things don't end up going as well for you as you thought they would so you puss out and log off. I have been in several firefights where things got hairy, and this game gets your heart racing like no other I play. (one of the reasons I freaking love it.) On several occasions I have had to log out to take a breather. SO if I had an adversary still on the field I wasn't aware of or was not currently engaged with I just combat logged? Bull$hit. Its just not that cut and dry as, "I was chasing him and then he logged off so he combat logged."

An open letter to the snotty barista at the Coffee Bean on San Vicente Boulevard: I know there were 20 people behind me in line, but I was on a cell phone call with my mother. Didn't you see me hold up my index finger? That means I'll order my soy decaf hazelnut latte in just a couple minutes. So what's with the attitude, lady? No tip for you.

M4's pretty much can only be found at Helicoptor Crash sites at the moment. I am not certain of the number per server but I think it's 3 crash sites per server at any of a multitude of random locations. AKM's can be found in barracks primarily. At least thats where I have found them so far. LRS can still be found all over. I find them in storage garages all the time and in the tented military areas.
