I get the same too. Just going to redownload it and give it another shot.

Hey, thanks a lot!

I agree with Zed. I find it bad enough that I'm steered from going to NWAF / Stary - because there's a whole bunch of military spawns, and subsequently far too many bush-sniper-bandits. You'd think it'd be fun to have higher risk areas with higher rewards, but it seems to take away from my enjoyment.

shit son I feel bad 4 u

There's a larger topic about it here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31433-blinking-blackscreen/page__hl__+1.7.2.2%20+black%20+screen__st__20 Seems we're all awaiting a clear fix

I don't think this is really a problem. I've had a lot of luck just sticking to other objects and trying to approach towns/villages from better angles. Plus you hadn't just spawned in.

It was an old feature that has since been removed. I can only guess that you're viewing videos of older versions

Fraps or Bandicam are really nice recording programs. You get a little more control with Bandicam, whilst FRAPs will be a simple button-press-and-go Run either one at 30fps

I think what you need to do is download the latest arma 2 beta patch: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ At the very top in the green bar, click the link to the left. Run it with winrar, or 7zip, or whatever equivalent you have and then double click the application [ARMA2_OA_Build******.exe] in it and let it do its thing. A dialogue will pop up saying that version 1.60 has been successfully applied (or similar). Press OK and you're now running at the right version. Also, curiously - how do you launch DayZ? edit: If the latest beta patch doesn't work, as it didn't for me when I just tried it, try an earlier version in the list below.

Episode three: Bandits are Reunited is up

I've never been convinced by psychological drawbacks in the game untilI read this. It was remarkably well put and made a great deal of sense

A pretty good idea, and might be a way to make real, clean bandages a lot rarer without having every player bleed out after they snag themselves on a zombie fist. ofcourse, antibiotics would need a reasonable spawn rate, as they aren't so much now.

It's nice to see a video that remains pretty interesting without it entirely being made of firefights. Far too many playthroughs with some American teenagers yelling at the top of their voices with their pals, who also are yelling at the top of their voices. It's cool to see other players, especially well geared ones, not resorting to KoS for absolutely every other player they see, too. It was really damned tense when you were dealing with that guy in the tents, and your tactics were really great. It's a shame you ultimtely got killed by guys who weren't going to give you a single chance to prove you were non-agressive, eh :[ Thanks for video!

OP has been updated with episode two: A hero rises. Feel free to leave comments on the thread!

This would for sure solve most of the alt-f4 issues. Ofcourse, it won't help for those at long distances in some cases, but it's sure is a lot better than no prevention, at this point.

I understand the sentiment pretty well. Though there doesn't seem to be a really great way of controlling camping - snipers mostly. I was playing with my friend earlier. He got sniped from the... somewhere... as we travelled to Stary Sobor. Game over. He lost a couple of hours of gameplay. He didn't even know he got shot. I got lucky because the sniper got a lucky shot and wasn't able to repeat it on me. Way I see it, I don't understand why there are so many high powered sniper rifles available in the game. To compete against players you must move rapidly, but to survive against zombies you must be slow and considered. It's a peculiar flaw that shines in scenarios like that. I would kind of like to see less one shot killing. So rather than being killed instantaeously, it might relieve the frustration if under all combat scenarios, you were more likely to get knocked unconcious that straight out killed. It'd give your buddies a chance to save you, bandage you, and continue the adventure. This'd require a double tap from the assailant, too. It's a shame in ways, as the attacking player mostly does alt-tabbing in the treeline, watching youtube vids and then tabbing back in to see what's up. No one will find him, because not many people bother. This isn't laziness, either. It's a case of: you may spend 30 minutes scanning and rooting through every possible sniper spot, but that doesn't mean that once you've decided it's safe, that a sniper can't just log in where you checked beforehand. To me, I reckon that would make the experience a little less frustrating - as it can be exactly that. Regardless of realism or whatever, I think there are certain mechanics that need implementation to keep everything coherent.

Cigarettes could easily become a player-made currency if they're common enough. I very much like the idea.

Misanthropic narcissists. They're everywhere. They think everyone else is a sorry excuse for a human being, who cannot be trusted to do anything. They, however, are the only folks who are capable to do things, and are possibly the only human on the earth with any competence. It seems to be some kind of pheneomenon; a western culture cancer. Furthermore, they feel that a negative statement is always a correct statement - because if you're not negative, you're just too much of a moron to have noticed how stupid the other guy is.

I love the idea of inclement weather. It'd definitely make people wary of travelling too far from shelters. Awesome. Perhaps there'd need to be more buildings with interiors, though...
