hey fellas, was playing quite some time today with 3 friends, we started the day off trying to hunt some vehicles. not 5 minutes after i logged in i spot a half broken V3S in Prigo, me obviously going there to see and check if it works. wasn't fully repaired, but hey, it worked. went from prigo all the way to lopatino and searched for a spot somewhere southwest of it to hide it there. we were mainly gonna use this truck to store stuff in. later me and someone else went on some deer stand hunting. while looting some deer stands we stumble upon the barn northwest of myshkino, the white offroad pickup truck is able to spawn there, and it did for us. it was almost all red. luckily we had some wheels in our truck. we went looking for the others parts for almost an hour. finally it was all fueled up, repaired and ready to go. we drove it up to our camp to get the stuff we stored in out of there, and put it into our V3S. one of us had to go and i decide to ride the pickup truck to berezino to pick up a buddy who recently died due to alt tabbing while having zombie aggro. (i've been using the save vehicle button alot of times on these 2 cars). while driving over northwest airfield towards berezino i get the no message received error. i kind of panic because these 2 are the only vehicles i've found for myself or my group. it was a quick server restart and i was able to log back in not a long time later. i notice that i spawned all the way back at the white offroad pickup spawn point, northwest of myshkino. this is where i get worried, i still had stuff in my backpack that i had found a few hours ago, even though i had already put it in the V3S meanwhile. i don't see the white pickup truck anywhere at the spawn point. i run 3 kilometers back to our camp and not only our white pickup truck is gone, but also the V3S, which also contained a DMR + NVG's. i was obviously quite sad at this point and i don't know what really happened, the server was indeed quite laggy but i wouldn't expect an unannounced server restart out of nowhere. is there any way to avoid this in the future? i don't want to lose any vehicles again. also, what was the cause of this? why would the server rollback to like 1,5/2 hours ago?

[DELETED, double post]

hey, thanks for replying. does this happen alot? and is there a big chance that the cars will respawn there?

oh yeah also, i found that V3S quite early yesterday, which would be like 12 hours ago. i know it has been rollbacked and that's why i was arleady worried the white pickup truck would be gone. but that V3S has been there for the whole day and i've saved it alot of times, still, it dissapeared.

Walking on the northern hill of Stary, after looting the tents, with 2 other friends. We see a Jeep driving right through Stary, taking the road south. They were quite far away already so we just unloaded alot of bullets in it, two of us had a FAL. They stopped right there, took cover behind the car and this is where the gunfight began. Them having a DMR, the other having an AS50. 2 of my friends obviously got shot, they had good snipers and we had an AKM + 2 FALs, it was quite some distance and hard to see. I managed to get to the safe side of the hill, LOSing the snipers. I had the idea of running all the way around the west side of Stary, come up behind them and steal their Jeep to fucking book it. I crawled all the way around Stary, panicing like fuck because of their decked out gear. They were also 2 now, and I was alone as my friends were killed. I come up from the south side and can't manage to spot the Jeep, I had a feeling they left, because it obviously took some time for me to get there. While I was rolling over the field I see one guy. He ran up towards the northern part of Stary to loot my friends, but I knew there were 2. After rolling for a while at the south side of Stary I finally spot the sniper with the AS50 and a ghillie suit. I roll up as close as possible to him. I see him scouting around a couple of times just looking right over me. At this point I decided to just fuck it. I stood up and unloaded my whole AKM clip right in his face. I see him falling to the ground and at this point I get both excited but I'm also panicing like fuck. His friend is still up there on the other hill with a DMR, probably knowing that his friend just got killed. I book it to the body of the ghillie and I scroll over to get into his gear. Yes you can already guess, I accidently hid the fucking body, almost destroying my mouse trying to cancel it meanwhile. I see the body dissapearing in the ground without me being able to either cancel it, or loot it. Someone, please... Help me through this pain. (I'm pretty sure he had NVG's/GPS aswell, they were both fully decked out and had a Jeep that someone else drove away with to get it in safety). And yeah this could be something little for some of you, but I've never had NVG's or an AS50 before, not playing that long. TL;DR: 3 of us against 2 snipers, 2 friends die, I flank the snipers and manage to kill one with an AS50/most likely nvgs+gps while the other was looting my friends. Accidently hiding his body without me being able to loot it because of me panicing hard.

Yeah, didn't really care that much anymore after like 15 minutes or so. I was happy that I killed one of the fuckers. His buddy isn't able to loot him either now.

I'm not really a bandit but recently I have been killed with an M16A2 with 9 mags, GPS, compass, alot of medical stuff and food & drinks. It might not be much for some of you, but I haven't been playing for long and I think it's been a pretty good achievement to already have such good gear a few days after i bought the game. I got killed (so did my brother, who had a sniper (not the CZ550 one but not the DMR on either, can't remember the name)). I felt quite frustrated cause it took pretty long getting that gear. I decided to run up to Berezino to get alot of stuff back since not many people go and loot there. My brother and I ran in there with a makarov and a m1911, saw 2 guys and just unloaded our clips on them even though they kept shouting 'friendly' in voice chat. I don't know... I felt pretty bad afterwards cause I basically got all my gear back from them (we won the gunfight cause they didn't shoot at us, they were too busy shouting friendly in voice chat).

it's either a server problem or the zombie searching behaviour glitch. please read the 1.7.1.5 hotfixes in the dayz announcements topic :)

if you have the steam version of arma 2, right click arma 2 OA in steam library and press reinstall battleye client, restart steam + six launcher. this worked for me, if it doesn't work, try other servers

i believe more people are having this problem since sunday when 1.7.1 came out, i guess being patient is the best thing to do atm. or you could look around the forums for fixes

Hey, i guess this has been reported many times, and maybe it has already been fixed (i'm not really able to play lately, due to all the full servers because many of them still have to update). but i want more information about the zombie aggro range, is this gonna be reverted to how it usually was? in my opinion it was completely fine and it's a bit annoying now. it removed the stealthy bit of this game and especially with the no gun spawning it's quite hard to get your first pieces of gear. i hope many will agree on this and that this should be reverted asap, if you help bumping this topic that would be awesome :] PS. and while we're at it anyway, is something gonna be fixed about the spawn items? let me know please =]

thanks for the help guys, and is anyone able to answer my question mentioned? i'm not sure if the spawn items are already fixed. seems like i still only spawn with a bandage, painkillers and a flashlight.

i played dayz since friday, it was completely fine friday and saturday. had a good time with a friend and no issues at all. joined servers with ease and no fps lags whatsoever since this update from sunday this mod has turned in complete garbage first of all half of the servers aren't even working (inb4 don't pick the grey ones; i KNOW, even 70 % of the white ones either have no sound, or i have the biggest FPS lag i've ever had) then why would you spawn people without a gun, food or water. it was fine before and it's complete bullshit that this is all removed also, what happened to the fucking zombie aggro range? i used to be able to crouch quite near them. not too close obviously, but now i get fucking attacked from miles away. before this update i could even run at the same distance and not get spotted. the aggro range was completely fine how it was. line of sight zombies? nice joke, still able to see me through walls. really dunno what has happened to this mod and i'm sure it's not only me, but this is utter crap, i have to join over 5 different servers to actually find one that's working, and oh - it's an american server, and i'm from europe. and also a sidequestion: is loot + zombie spawning decided by the game difficulty? (for example less loot & zombies on regular, more on veteran).

fair enough, i can tell you that the following things need to be changed or reverted. (these are all obviously my own opinions, even though i think it would make the game alot better) - spawning without a gun is a bit overkill ESPECIALLY with the increased aggro range of zombies. - we are spawning without any food or drinks, i assume this is a bug (think i've read that somewhere) but this has to be reverted aswell - zombie aggro range; in my opinion just ridiculous, i think it was good how it used to be. you can't even come a little near zombies and you're already spotted. - FPS lag issues/server joining issues. i've experienced this over the last 2 days. ALOT of the servers i try to join either have no sound (can cycle around zombies without them seeing me) or i have the biggest FPS lag a man can ever have. dunno what is causing this, but i used to be able to log in any server and have no issues at all - sometimes when i want to drop something to the floor it just drops my whole inventory, quite annoying. i've been experiencing these issues ONLY with the new 1.7.1+ patch, it was fine before. these have obviously been mentioned in other threads already but if this is what you guys would want to see - here ya go :)

yes because there are obviously not enough people reporting all those bugs yet, sarcasm sarcasm thanks for the replies though, glad i'm not the only one having serious issues with playing the game properly. hope this gets fixed soon sorry but the most threads in this forum aren't even close to a bug report! just like yours... try that http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+shut+the+fuck+up stop shitting around with my thread please, thanks
