I think if the Cry3 engine was used it would need a LOT of optimizing to be run on a scale like DayZ, however it would look spectacular and would probably allow for a ton of new features. At the end of the day, I don't see DayZ using another companies engine as the cost of licencing is probably going to be more than they are willing to pay. And they already have the ArmA3 engine that they own rights to, so very little overhead is needed to develop it with ArmA3. Average licencing cost from what bit of research I have done is nearly 4million USD.

meh, would just go play BF3 if I wanted this as an endgame. DayZ needs to be more than just a DM. People will get burnt out quickly if this was the endgame solution of DayZ.

Hacker is/was on the server. Note the server and never return!

I suggest not running the absolute newest beta build, try to stick 1 build behind current unless you know for sure theres an issue with a build that is fixed by the current. Also some servers updated to 1.7.2.3 but did not update their hive files, thus causing some players to get stuck on the loading screen. Try different servers and give it time to load in. Its really not that hard.

In the cfgdayz folder, there should be a .cfg file in the files that is server_BLAHBLAHBLAH.cfg where blahblahblah = whatever they set it to default telling you to just rename that section of the file. I named mine server_so1.cfg and server_so2.cfg (as i run 2 servers, thus 2 cfg files). One thing that is not said on the setup guide is that the -name= should be changed to "cfgdayz" for your server to properly detect what difficulty you have set. Hope this helps!

Survival Operatiosn will soon be opening for recruitment and will be operating on a platoon level. Survival Operations is a DayZ Tactical Military-Simulation community based on the US Marine Corps structure. With all "high command" having real world Military backgrounds (USMC & ARMY) and several of our original group players having military backgrounds as well, we are forming something that has never been seen in DayZ as of yet. With a tough application and interview process for selecting recruits, a solid youtube following, a strong core of real military personnel, and the drive to create something great, we will be putting players through several stages of training events (basic and advanced) based on real-world standards and training tactics. We will also be using the USMC rank structure with pro-con evaluations and cutting scores to evaluate players eligibility for promotion, collecting data via contact reports (Con-Rep), after action reports (AAR), and priority intelligence reports (PIR). & more!

As far as I have ever seen all boats are 0 / 0 / 0 for inventory. 0 weapons / 0 general items / 0 backpacks. http://www.survivaloperations.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=27

Don't see why not. Im not sure anymore these days where the ATI card numbers compare with the nVidia card numbers, but if its a newer card it should have no problems.

Why not make it an announced drop then? Have the drop be random location each time. but have a message broadcast over global chat or admin that sends out a warning to all the players on the server with a grid location accurate to 1 kilomiter of the location of the drop.

Keep the map we have, but expand on it and make it much larger. Add more cities, towns, camps, etc. and make them all enterable!

Make sure your exe you use to launch ArmA2 and ArmA2 OA are both set as administrator. If need be, validate your files via steam. If none of this works, google the error or check the BI forums for others with this same issue.

I agree with this! It can be very annoying thinking you are wearing one color when in reality you are something completely different. If its possible to save cammo's etc. Then being able to save or choose your survivors shirt color and have it saved to the DB shouldn't be hard to do.

I think the idea of some form of government assistance organization would be cool. In any major human catastrophe, government organizations have provided relief efforts (but those in need never really knew when or where it would come from). Look at Hurricane Katrina, etc.

I would personally like to see it use the ArmA3 engine if it is well developed and optimized/polished.

Where do you reside and what time schedule do you play on? My group is soon to open up applications to join our platoon (30+ guys). Keep an eye towards the website in my sig for our official launch and opening of applications (and monthly prize drawings if your not interested in the group).

Morphone fixes a broken leg. You can get a broken leg without really losing any blood at all. If you can find a medical tent or hospital near you, you shouldn't have any issues patching ur leg up. Check www.dayzmap.info for a map that shows all the medical locations.

I heard that if you equip one your character wont save progress anymore as of this latest patch. Not confirmed it yet tho, too risky to try it out.

Just killed him and looted his corpse after saluting him. PP19 + 1 mag, M107 + 3 mags, GPS, NVG, Range Finder, Compass, Etc. Thanks a ton ExileBroc!

six million, four hundred eighty four thousand, five hundred fourteen.

Just luck of the draw, keep looking and eventually you will find one!

Usually this is a sign of a failing gfx card, or overheating gfx card. Also it could be that you have a low end card that maybe can't handle the game? Of corse it could be that there is wire fencing near by your area as it appears to cause heavy graphical glitches similar to what you are seeing when you get near them for some people.

They need to just make a log parser of some form to ease the pain of looking through logs all day.

Was just on US 704 for around 30 minutes and killed 2 players on the NW Airfield. Waited around 10 minutes before going up to their corpses to check for items. Once I picked off what I wanted a friend logged in and the entire server was instantly killed at the same time. This is becoming extremely annoying, considering character rollbacks arent possible from what I understand. Between the 2 of us we lost 2x AS50, M4 CCO SD, 2x coyote packs, 2x NVG, GPS, Range Finder, 2x M9 SD, etc. I was on an 8 day streak and my friend was much longer than that (he was going for 30 days)... Wish something would get done soon about these hackers. One of the top scriptors for ArmA works with rocket, yet this isnt being fixed, WTF?!

Anyone who locks a server and doesn't make an outlet to get new players on server is just hurting themselves. Without other players to combat the game is boring. It is purely the PVP aspect right now that makes the game interesting.

Pretty sure Rocket is being paid full time to work on DayZ thru BI (the way i understood it during E3 + articles about it). And several other Dev's work at BI as well. If they atleast implement a character rollback system that way when we get fisted by hackers we can just submit a form and they just review/verify and reset back to latest save before death. Then this will discourage people from even bothering to hack.
