    Debug screen bugging HUD

    Yes. This is a known bug. If you'd had read the other countless posts about this, you would know this. Here's a fix: "What you do is when you switch to Debug, and hit okay, it'll light all green. Go back into game options, switch to another option, DO NOT PRESS OKAY, watch the indicators turn normal, and then switch back to Debug, and the indicators will work normally. Now you can hit okay."

    Someone from the dayz team please Help!!

    The DayZ team can't do anything. Vehicles are individually serverside saved, so just get your friend to restart the server and it should be in one of the spawn points.
  3. Yes you are what? What program are you using? Do you see the text in the top right and bottom right like on this Screenshot If you dont, try this; Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta ( remove the x86 if you're using a 32x version of windows. ) Copy the arma2oa.exe Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ and rename the current arma2oa.exe to something like arma2oa - Legit.exe Paste the arma2oa.exe that you copied from \Expansion\beta into there. Go into STEAM, right click Operation Arrowhead, click properties, then set launch options and enter this into the field " -mod=@dayz " without the quotation marks. Click ok and close. Right click Operation Arrowhead and select Launch ARMA II: Combined Operations Try and join a server.

    Can't join any server :'(

    Creating multiple threads isn't going to get your problem solved any faster. When you load into a server, wait for the three BattlEye lines where the bottom one assigns you a GUID.

    Turned into a Rabbit and gutted...

    Deleting the profile won't do anything. It's cd-key bound. As for the fix, just leave it on overnight, by the time you wake up, you should have starved and died.

    Help locating sceenshots

    When a print screen is taken like that, it usually pastes as a blank copy. Get http://www.fraps.com/]Fraps open it, go in game, press the button you set it to take screen shots with and then go to C:\Fraps\Screenshots to view them.

    Character Switch

    http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/83535-private-hive-billy-mays-remembrance-foundation/ is a private hive server and is fantastic IMO. I quit playing public quite some time ago due to the many issues that are caused by hackers / hacked in weapons / Vehicles not saving / tents not saving aswell as many other things. They have 2 servers, one is day when the other is night. Got some awesome admins on there too. Got the debug plains glitch today and the admins replaced all my items and put me back where I was.
  8. Are you using a program to run DayZ like DayZ commander?

    Cam't connect to any server

    You tried updating your BattlEye?
  10. Hi. My cousin wants to get CO for DayZ. I'm just wondering if I could copy my ARMA 2 files across to his PC and then verify file integrity when he's bought it, so we're not waiting ages for him to download the game. Does anyone know if this is possible?
  11. Started this server up as a new home server as Canada 10 went down. Hosted by Vilayer in Dallas TX. Waypoints - On Crosshair - On Third Person - On Ingame Voice - On Running BETA patch 96584. Restart times: 00:00, 08:00, 16:00 GMT / UTC Any problems, post in here / message me.
  12. Does this sometimes with me when I try to join a server through DayZCommander. What you have to do is wait on the briefing screen and wait for the 3 BE things to appear in the bottom left ( look at the attachment ) If it only does one, disconnect and reconnect again not using whatever program you use to join.

    Dubbing.pbo??? Keeps kicking me?

    Try delete the offending .pbo file manually (or rename it), then verify the cache. Sometimes Steam seems to miss the corrupted file, and it always downloads the entire file anyway.

    Debug Monitor Gone

    Turning the debug monitor on does not kill you. It does however set all your icons ( Food, Water, Temp, Blood ) to bright green so they are unreadable, and in order to get them showing correct values again, you have to turn it off. So I suggest only turning it on to have a quick look, then turning it back off again. To do this, Press Esc --> Options --> Game Options and change the DayZ UI to " Debug " Click ok then press escape back to game. See what you have then turn it back to default.

    Issue with a tent :)

    You can keep the tent by the way. They are persistent as long as you use it within a certain amount of days which I think is 7 but you just can't pack it up.
  16. Just wait it out. It should go down eventually. Or is it showing the " You are Dead " thing behind the hour glass?

    Can't Join servers ( rpt file included )

    Apparently it's something to do with having duel monitors plugged in ( even though I've got 3 plugged in without any hiccups ). http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/42615-multiplayer-setup-freeze/ is the topic link.
  18. Sounds like someone has your serial. The serial you have is bound to your account on STEAM. So no amount of installing / reinstalling will fix it. Buy another copy of it or get in touch with STEAM that your ARMA serials have been stolen. Not sure which serial it is, the ARMA 2 one or the OA one.
  19. Right. Here's how I tell people who ask me, how to get DayZ working. 1) Download Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA. 2) Run Arma 2 then close it 3) Run Arma 2 CO then close it. 4) Download DayZ Commander and run it. 5) Click " Settings " in DayZCommander 6) Tick the following boxes: " Launch using STEAM " and " Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta so Steam works " Click Done 7) Click Install / Update: 7a) Where it says " ARMA2: xxxxx " Click the " Update / install / reinstall " button at the side of where it says " 96548/85 " wait for the BETA installer to launch and install it. 7b) Where it says " DayZ: xxxx " click the " Update / install / reinstall " on where it says 1.7.2.6 ( it will be 1.7.2.5 in your case ) and wait for that to download and install. 10) Go to this and copy and paste the downloaded .dll to " C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\BattlEye " and replace the one that was in there. Then go to " C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye " and do the same. 11) Click Favourites in DayZCommander and add IP and connect. As you've edited the CMD file. I would suggest deleting anything you've edited and get STEAM to " Verify integrity of game cache " to redownload everything non edited. If that doesn't work, comment back.

    problem with humanity!

    It's called civilian clothing. The clothing you leave behind after putting on a Ghillie / Camo.
  22. Hey guys and gals. I'd just like to ask a few questions, some of them may seem stupid, but I've never bought a server before, so I'm not too sure on what is what. Just wondering if any of you could answer these questions for me. The server I'm looking at getting is a VPS. Which, from my understanding is a dedicated slice of the CPU, RAM and disk space. Am I correct in thinking this? Which would be better to get? A Dedi box or a VPS? The server I am thinking of getting is the VPS V from Here. Is it expensive? I'd like to go VPS / Dedicated server because I want more control over the server than I presume you get with pre-made ones? If I went with the lower package, would the CPU be powerful enough? From my understanding, and reading of a few posts on here, I don't think it is, but thought I would ask anyway being the cheapskate I am :P Would I want Windows 2008 Server Web Edition Or should I pay a little extra and get Windows 2008 Server Standard or Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition - 64Bit? ( They're both the same price ) Could I run more than 1 DayZ server on this VPS? I presume 10000 GB is enough traffic for 2 servers? That's if I can have 2 running. Thanks for reading and thanks for the help should you give it.
  23. Well this sure did spiral out of control fast. All you guys are talking server jargon that goes straight over my head. Rofl. The Vilayer that XAM linked does a dedicated server package with a Intel Xeon 5420, unlimted bandwidth, 12GB RAM and Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition for $132.35USD seems to be a decent deal right? If I get this I can RDC to it and do whatever I want. Correct? As I said, I've not hosted or had anything to do with dedicated servers / VPS / VDS before so I'm on a learning curve on what to get. It's just me and another guy paying for the server at the minute, which is why I kind of wanted to keep it low cost so we weren't out doing ourselves and getting a expensive package, then next month struggling to get the funds together to pay for the next month.
  24. Read and read. You misunderstand me. I meant more control of the server as in I can have a Killing Floor server on there aswell. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you can't view logs and stuff on pre-made ones, which is a pain in the backside if you're wanting to see if a hacker is in the server. And I was thinking of hosting a TS and a IIRC client on there too. On http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/62195-server-hosting-rules/ it says " 3. You must not edit your server files in anyway, this includes: Modified Hive files. " but yet there is a Private Hive Forum on here and if you read some posts in there you will find a few people have a private hived server and a normal hived server and I was thinking of doing the same.

    Is server hopping actually illegal?

    Is this why when I've disconnected to go to the toilet and reconnected, then shortly after disconnected to get something to eat then when I reconnect I spawn at a start point with no gear what so ever, not even a backpack, but keep my zombie kills? Back on topic... As for server hoppers, I don't like them. Me and a buddy had 1 server that we played on together and when we're Lonewolfing it, we usually stayed on the same server unless we played with friends. Noticed quite a few players connecting for 10 minutes ( to check item spawns out ) then disconnecting. It's the hackers that have ruined the game for me though, I've lost count of how many times I've died due to a hacker nuking everywhere, or teleporting everyone to somewhere and killing them all. Which is why I've made the decision to go to a private hived server. Shame really, because this a awesome mod and for hackers to come in and ruin a ALPHA just seems petty and knobheadish IMO. Even the combination of graphical glitches, Cars not saving ( and when they do, they don't keep their repair state most of the time ) and Tents not saving, didn't really ruin the game for me as it was work aroundable but hackers you can't really do anything about them in public servers. Hopefully when the Standalone comes out, Rocket's team has rescripted the engine enough to make all the scripts that you see working in the mod, non workable.
