Steak and Potatoes's solution worked for me. Deleting the reg keys seems to be the critical part. I would highly recommend trying this for those still having the bug:

Well that worked. Oh no it actually made the problem much worse. Now it says "Bad Serial Number Given At Setup". Fuck Steam I hate Steam... EDIT: After a few relaunch attempts it went back to the previous problem (version out of date). It's a Steam thing for sure, my friends with the real version of ARMA2 and OA aren't having this problem.

I'm glad they vanish almost instantly. Their corpses get in the way for the few seconds they're around.

You're right it's not really BE's fault that steam is locking the file, it's just inexplicably odd. I also should clarify I had closed out the Dayz application when I discovered the file still locked as well, but Dayz application had been running previously without Steam being closed and reopened. EDIT: I also didn't mean to come off as I was harshing on BE, I was just a bit annoyed having worked on the issue for a couple of hours before I figured it out, even though Steam turned out to be causing the problem, not BE itself. Every time I see a BE global kick/ban it fills my heart with joy.

Yeah you're right, I was thinking of port fwding not DMZ. My mistake.

I fixed this by deleting beclient.dll and renaming beclient.dll.new to beclient.dll Edit: It was definitely BE fucking up and not file permissions as OP suggests, marked the whole thing as "Everyone" and passed to child objects (beclient.dll and beclient.dll.new) and BE still wouldn't pull its head out of its ass. Beclient.dll file was also locked in use by Steam until I killed Steam.exe*32 so that be why.

You can sign in to the firmware and just start disabling things until you get it, but I would recommend setting up a DMZ. When I was on the server list I was seeing requests on TCP 51137 51138 and 51144 so that should give you a general idea of the range to DMZ.

A lot of people say that, I've never had the problem. My specs aren't much better than anyone else's, I have an SSD as well. I think certain graphics card/driver iteration combinations have the problem.

Default config screws up a lot of things, like SIP communications. Not sure if that's his issue or not, hence why I asked.

I think your guy was in the wall. It's pretty well known that the walls aren't as solid as they seem. I've gotten trapped in the wall in those buildings while just minding my own, running around the building and then randomly get warped into the wall.

What brand/model of router?

I'm very excited about this change.

If they aren't bleeding and fully hydrated and energized, they are going to get back up. Quicker than you think. Gear that gets ruined absorbs some of the damage, and the person usually doesn't bleed. EDIT: Most of the time people go down due to shock rather than blood loss, which depletes very quickly.

I remember this argument from Everquest, boy does that take me back. The answer remains the same: Turning up Gamma Correction is not cheating, nor is it exploiting. It's an artifact of games being a simulation of a three or four dimensional reality being simulated on a two dimensional screen. If someone dislikes it - don't use it, you don't need it anyway. I never play on night servers. It doesn't seem properly implemented yet, and those servers are uncommon, high latency and mostly depopulated.
