Accolyte

I admit I missed the part about a new character, he can still try doing that and see if that fixes it though.

That means you lost a lot of blood. You can regain blood by getting the healing status, which you can get by getting the hydrated and energized statuses, which in turn you can get by drinking and eating respectively.

Let's just calm down, everyone, ok? No need to be insulting each other and stirring drama up.

I wonder why you'd say that <_< Moved.

Yes, by clown I meant the actual clown at a circus. His skills possibly apply to there, hardly anywhere else though. His statements regarding to military use of archery are indeed laughable.. or cringeworthy rather.

Lars Andersen is a glorified clown. I remember watching his notorious video only until the point where he says that target shooting never existed before modern competitive shooting. The archer in me quit right there. I like the lady in the video Whyherro posted though. She knows her stuff.

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and not steer the discussion that way ourselves and keep it to the appropriate thread, shall we? :)

Oh shush you. Don't create multiple accounts just to come here to troll please.

Cheat's a cheat. If it's a legit cheat, then it's not a cheat. Don't blame your faulty logic on my ability to read, thank you very much.

It's part of the game. It's part of any 3pp multiplayer game. If you don't like playing around it just play on 1pp servers. I will never understand why people need to constantly debate this since there really isn't any more to the discussion than what I've just said.

It's not a cheat if everyone has access to it. I just wish people would stop saying this nonsense.

It doesn't matter what you were doing at the time you got the ban. BattlEye bans are delayed. And yes, you get banned on all BattlEye protected games. There's no reason to keep known cheaters around in other games. Otherwise what Lok said. Just thought I'd clear this up.

PM me your username on the site and I'll have it sorted for you.

Nicely written. Good job. I'd ask everyone to refrain from posting pointless rants/nitpicks in a topic that aims to help and guide people. It's really unnecessary. Can't we just have nice things?

Another possibility is also searching the forums. https://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/191410-dayz-support-stuck-characters/

Mind you actually going undercover (so to speak) and getting access to private hacks off of very closed off communities is very different from reporting hacks. Hence why these "snitches" actually get paid for it.

That typically happens when the hive/database crashes or when the servers aren't connected to it properly iirc.

And how many of those times were you killed by a player or a zombie while logging out? How many times have you simply connected to a different shard? I've not had my character reset in months (nearly a year). Granted, I play very little, but still.

That would actually be hilarious. :D Good thing I speak both. :lol:

It can't be done. If you don't agree with that it is you who should offer solutions, not us. And as already mentioned this is easily countered by flipping the mute switch on your microphone or changing your default sound input device.

Surely there are other survival games like this. You don't seem to understand the implications of what you're saying. How is DayZ going to prevent any and all microphone input without the push to talk button being pressed? That IS a rather big deal.

I thought my answer should be satisfactory enough to be perfectly honest. You just can't have a game suppress other programs running on your PC. It's impossible. Well, maybe not impossible, but it's not something a company like BIS can do as it would turn the game into a malware program (like I said). Even if someone somehow mods such a functionality into the game, I can't imagine it attracting many (if any) players. It would definitely attract huge drama though. Also, I imagine that anti-virus software would go mental over this. Your example situation can be taken to literally any other game. In Battlefield I can call out the position of the person who killed me to a friend who's on mumble with me who then easily dispatches the foe and revives me. It is exactly the same thing, only there is somewhat less of an impact as in Battlefield/Quake/Counter Strike you get to respawn a few seconds/minutes later 'fully geared', whereas in DayZ it's kind of a bother I suppose, though I would argue it's part of the game and it is the thing that creates the tension the game gives you in firefights. You simply can't stop people from using 3rd party programs. It's simply not possible/feasible.

When launching the game I get a “Failed to install BattlEye Service.” / “Failed to start BattlEye Service.” / “Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: …” error. How can I solve this? Something on your system prevents the installation/startup of the BE Service, which is required to play on BE-enabled servers. Please ensure that any security software (anti-virus, etc.) running on your system doesn’t block the BE Service (both BEService.exe/BEService_x64.exe in your game’s “BattlEye” directory as well as the entire BE Service directory, which is usually “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye”) in any way. You might have to add it to your security software’s exception list. If that doesn’t help or you don’t use any sort of security software there might be a permission issue with your BE Service directory or the files within it. To solve this delete the BE Service directory (usually “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye”) and then try to launch your game again. If you still get the same error at this point please try to manually set the BE Launcher (for ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead: “ArmA2OA_BE.exe” in your game directory) to run with administrative privileges (normally this should happen automatically). To do so right-click on the BE Launcher executable, choose “Properties”, go to the “Compatibility” tab, check the “Run this program as an administrator” option and click OK to apply your changes. If you still can’t get it to work some unknown software running on your system might be blocking BE somehow. If you cannot determine the cause we can only suggest a reinstallation of Windows.
