Hello there This is a very common sypmtom nowadays. The sense of entitlement is vast on the net. Rgds LoK

Hello there There are mods for just this thing in A2, so it's *easily* done, one would assume its going to be in SA Rgds LoK

Hello there What language do you speak? Where are you from? You need to find a native speaker to assist you. Rgds LoK

Hello there, It sounds like he bought a new CD Key (Licence) and obviously it was compromised. In this case (if I have it correct) there is nothing to be done. OP could try Battleye, but it's unlikely anything will come of it. Rgds LoK

Hello there DO YOUR RESEARCH. Purchacing a new copy and installing it on a compromised PC *may* result in the loss of yet another CD Key. "Danger, Will Robison, Danger." Rgds LoK

Mwahahaha my initial tests of my *carebear beam* seem to be working, just wait till I turn it on Arma! Chenarus wide picnics and man hugs! mwahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah*cough*hahahahahahhahahahhahahha*splutter*hahahahahahhah rgds LoK

Hello there This is a very difficult subjective question to answer, especially when asking Arma/Dayz fans who are going to be biased. What you need to do is immerse yourself in reviews/youtube clips and do your research. Try downloading A2Free to see if you can cope with DAYZ unique control systems, they're not for everyone. Lastly, as it stands, Dayz has a vast amount to offer, it being a small mod for Arma2,which had thousands of mods and has been well supported for years. So, once you are bored with it you still have millions of gaming hours with vanilla then modded Arma. At the end of the day though, only you can make the choice. Rgds LoK

hello there perhaps he is having a difficult time financially or otherwise at the moment? lets not judge eh? rgds lok

Hello there Well, umm ..............*thinking* Aha!, what I would do then is simply wait for the first alpha reviews to come forth and base your descision on that. Also, it give you a while to squirrel away some cash. rgds LoK

Hello there I would say more sociopathic rather than pure psyco, but the net just tends to draw out "the real us" Not good IMHO, not good at all. rgds LoK

On that note, why not buy us both one? :) Remember, not everyone is in a great position financially. To OP, yes these param etc will help a little if ones gfx card is not up to much. That's why so many of us explored so many options back in the day. Be prepared to invest time reading and experimenting though. A2 is not an easy beast to tame on low end machines. Rgds LoK

Hello there Lingor due to the amount of enterable buildings. I love chernarus but lack of useable buildings is a turn off, plus the poor performance for many. rdgs LoK

Hello there I have heard of this issue, but have not encountered it. Use the Search function to seek answers, they *are* here. rgds LoK

Hello there Everyone has to start somewhere, at least these chaps came in to report issues on a server. They just need a little guidance not insults. Rgds LoK Edit: to Original Posters. Put up the time this ocourred and also include the server name in the title of your thread to try to grab the System Admin's attention. Have you tried to contact the SA directly so he may check his logs?

Hello there I'm not so sure about factions. When I was born i didn't automatically become a member of the Crips or the Bloods or even the Scouts. I would have had to approached them to join and once I decided I'd had enough I would just leave. (possibly very very far away and in secret, the Scouts can get very narky about folk leaving). Being forced into a faction on avatar generation is not realistic at all IMHO. Leave it up to the players to make the rules. BUT, put in *some* mechanics to enable those who wish to run/join factions the abilities to manage them to a degree as long as it doesn't give any advantage over the "solo" player. rgds LoK

hello there Firstly, for all your keybinding, go into vanilla ArmaCO. Easier to do there. :) Secondly, sound plays a major part in zombie evasion. Crouch and walk when too close to em, go prone etc. Running makes you a target. It *is* hard at first, but suddenly everything "clicks" into place and you'll be fully equipped in no time. Practice, practice, practice! rgds LoK EDIT: Try Low player count servers at first. Less danger and less kiddie scripters.

hello there I'm sure I replied to this before? I must be going mad. Your most likely major issue with the game will be the human interface aspect of the game, It just doesnt play like any FPS you have played before. To that end I recommend downloading A2Free and see whether the control system stymies you or if you can get your head around the avatar movement and to he unique-nesses of Arma2. We cant say anything about the first release, but bear in mind all RV engine based releases have had major hiccups when first released into the wild, I'll be surprised if DSA is any different. But, they usually shape up into sterling sims/games so, as long as you are prepared to invest time and feedback then you are on the right track. If you want a fully polished AAA game, then you may be better off looking elsewhere. Rgds LoK

Hello there The only excitement I would have is on seeing the worlds supply of Beans being pushed into a very deep hole, then covered up so I could dance on it. I'm not a fan of beans. Even if they are Heinz. Thinking about it, I may not be in the demographic you are after in this thread, I'll see myself out. Rgds LoK

Hello there You cannot mess around with the core files. There are alternatives though. Firstly there is the graphic settings one can adjust then there are the cfg files and command line perameters. Check here community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Startup_Parameters Also check the bohemia forums for all the customisation commands you need rgds LoK

Hello there If I were *dumped* in an are of the UK that I didnt know, I would be terribly lost too until I found major road signs. even then that info would only give me an indication of where I was/wher I could go to. I'd still be utterly unfamiliar with the locale. Remember the moss growing *only* on one side is a bit of a often repeated myth. I'd like to see more orientation skills implemented, like discerning direction using the sun and an analogue watch, Compass use and different quality maps for example. Vanilla Arma/dayz is navagable by stars but being able to find ingame guides on how to do it might be fun (if not very realistic). rgds LoK

Hello there The uberness of the char skills in dayz is one of the most irritating things for me in dayz, it's amazing my toon can repair and fly a helo, without a major workshop/tooling and training. So, i'm not defending those mechanics. Lastly, equipment like boomerang systems would be damn damn rare even on many mil bases. rgds LoK

Hello there I understand Op's point, and in a game like Oblivion/Skyrim then yes indeedy a splendid idea. In (dayz) reality It's a little too far out *there* to work. Learning the taming/handling/care of semi wild animals usually takes generations of handed down experience and the current dayz ethos/cannon just doesn't fit that descriptor. Nice idea though. rgds Lok

Hello there Whilst in Arma I'd love to see the Boomerang system I don't know if it would suit DAYZ. Most folk encountering it in real life most likely wouldn't a) know what it is b)be able to equip/assemble it c)operate it. (supposition). For eg how many folk would know how to field strip a firearm? Most folk get their gun handling skills from the movies and 99pc of the time they're utterly incorrect. I just think "advanced" systems like this are just one step too far out of the "feel" of the Zombie apocalypse. I'd still like it in arma though :) Rgds LoK

Hello there Interesting stuff. Now I can lecture others with a little more info whilst still being woefully misinformed on the forums. Whilst some aspects are being stripped down will this mean a possible performance increase or will the improvements/changes "eat up" any freed resources? Regardless, a splendid post. Rgds LoK
