Naughty boy, off to bed and no supper for you! L

Hello there As to avatar appearance, i'd like to see as many options as possible. I'm a skinny pale biker/goth/punk type in real life, so I'd like my avatar to reflect that. I dont see why a zombie apocalypse is going to alter my dress sense of the last 30 odd yeas. Admittedly most of it is army surplus. What worries me is the customisation of vehicles. Although "mad max" esque vehicles do look groovy, they'd be out of reach of most folk. The closest I get to metal work is opening a can of soup. Plus metal plates are very heavy indeed and covering a vehicle with em isn't going to help performance and most important fuel consumption. The best compromise is to look at police vans which have simple mesh screens to cover glass/radiator wheel arches etc. Esentially all the "soft parts". Look at "Techincals" used by poorer militias/countries, They're just 4x4's with a big ole HMG/AA unit in the back, not many are "max"ed up. There's a reason for that. TL;DR Mad max vehicles look cool, but on the whole are not practical. All this is IMHO. Rgds LoK

Hello there Dayz Commander, for me works just fine, just take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with it. It's not complex at all. "Play with Six" might be another choice, But I've not used it. There are other launchers out there, and while they're really versatile the are rather complex. Try The Commander and if you get *really* stuck you can always ask us all for some help. :) Rgds LoK

Hello there I've not played the ToH engine (bad of me I know) but I too would hope that the flying mechanics, whilst not "full sim" standard are a massive leap when compared to vanilla Arma. It would make Helo's a much more valuable resource and might slow down the KoS a little as folk would *need* pilots. In Arma I'm a ground pounder so I really appreciate a good pilot, with the difficulty ramped up, I'd be actively hugging him/her. Rgds LoK

Hello there Most computers will have a FPS drop in towns. Arma is tough on many PC's. Search for all the optimisation threads here and at the BiS forums. http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?9-ARMA-2-amp-Operation-Arrowhead Rgds LoK

Hello there It should work just fine. I don't know if the file structure is vastly different which could cause issues, but it's doubtful so, you should be ok. Rgds LoK

Hello there I couldn't exist without my Bohemia games. Many other games have come and gone but their sandbox milsim is the only one that's constantly stayed on my machine since OFP came out. But recently I'm finding the engine just a little long in the tooth, so am looking forward to the A3 Public test. For me, the old engine just feels so "clunky" on occasions. Mods help a bit but it's time for some improvements. So, back to the point, nope, I had A2/OA all along :) Rdgs LoK

Hello there Don't make a habit of misleading titles ok? It's not something we really like :) Regardless, welcome and I hope you find some chums. Rgds LoK

Hullo there Why was he an idiot? In the same position and with all the KoS about, I'd go for broke and try to hatchet you too. Rgds LoK

Hello there Read all the appropriate stickies and check the info at the BE site. There's 2 main reasons for a GB. 1. you or someone using your PC scripted 2. you or someone using your PC downloaded a key stealer disguised as another program (a DAYZ optimiser for example) If it's a non legit ban BE will overturn it. But those are rare. rgds LoK

Hello there You must understand why it's tough for us to have any faith in you. scripters could have crippled this game resulting in there never being a standalone. Folk like you ruin the game for the rest of us. You have to realise your actions have consequences. You're now in this situation down to your own actions. The reason folk are being mean is again down to your actions. I for one will not assist you, but will at least advise you that you will find the info you seek with Google. At the moment it's your only friend. Rgds LoK

OT dont play stalker (any of em) without looking into some of the amazing mods which fix certain issues. They transform the games.

Obvious, thing, all your drivers up to date? It does sound gfx related and may indeed be physical.Hows the airflow around the PC? Is it wedged in a corner/cupboard etc? Dusty? Do you have a different/older gx card you can slot in and test to see if the same thing happens? Rgds LoK

Hello there Removing my moderator's hat for a moment, I do recommend PC specialist as a solid provider. Not the fastest, but reliable and helpful. But, obviously, do shop around. You may want to wait for the january sales too. Rgds LoK

http://dayzmod.com/f...un-it-ask-here/ As was pointed out, there's a big throbbing thread up there all about this kind of thing! Rgds LoK PS: +1 on the second drive for video data

Hello there If one needs to script then why play the mod? Just play Arma2, all the toys are there. Scripters *baffle* me. Rgds LoK PS you're unlikely to find many folk here willing to assist you as you are part of a rather large problem for the community.

Hello there It's standard not to bring threads back from the dead, I'm pretty sure there are newer ones than this. But as it's xmas and you're new I'll just give you a *nose tweak* and ask you to try not to do it again. Rgds LoK

damn, me too, but one has to appreciate our colonial cousins...

Hello there Dont make it easier for solo play, just dont penalise those who choose to do so. Yes, IRL an ingame it should be easier to survive as a group. As long as those of us who choose to solo have a chance then all is good. I dont want it easier, I just want a fair crack of the whip. Rgds LoK

DAYC survivors vs chavs That would be spooky. It would also be my weekends. L

Hello there Also, always worth checking your keybinds in vanilla Arma offline. That way you can be sure there's nothing custom interfering. Rgds LoK

Many gamers I know (both PC and console have heard of neither) It's a bugger when I try and show off. L: Hey, I'm a mod in the "official" forums in one of the biggest upcoming games! Firend: Wow, whats that, lok? L: DAY-Z F: What? L: umm daysie? F: Who? L: Oh, forget it! Come-on Lynn, these people are starting to annoy me. *drives off in a huff*

Hello there The mod needs alot of streamlining, but that should be part and parcel of the mod. Making the game easier? I think not. Making things like transfusions more complex? Definitely. Have you ever tried to find a vein? Even nurses have a hard time sometimes and that's in a nice safe hospital. (personal experience :( ) I think the devs have most likely thought all about issues such as this and probably have addressed em. Lets wait and see. Rgds LoK oooo btw I almost exclusively play solo and as long as we are not penalised for that then I'll be happy.

I'll be very intrigued to see how CQB works in the SA. Personally, I just cant envisage it, so It's something I look forward to trying out when the SA's release. L
