After looking into it on STEAM forums ( http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2750979 ) It appears it's a STEAM problem so there's nothing you can do about it. Try emailing them and saying that your OA doesn't have a serial key.

Right. Here's what I'm going to tell you to do, as it's easy to do and fool proof, not saying your dumb or anything. Download Dayz Commander Install it and run it. Once it is open, in the top right corner you should see something that says " Settings " Click that. In there it should have your Arma 2, Arma 2 : OA and DayZ directory's set up. You want to check the boxes that say " Launch using STEAM " and " Replace original Arma2OA files with BETA so STEAM works " Click " Done " Then you want to click the tab that says " Versions " which is at the side of " Settings " in the top right Click " Update " or " Install " or " Reinstall " on both of the ARMA 2 and DayZ tabs. When done you should see " Arma 2: 96061 " and " DayZ: 1.7.2.5 " Click " Done " Now on the left hand side, you want to tick these boxes: " Hide Wrong Arma 2 version " and " Hide Wrong DayZ Version " Now find a server you wish to play on ( usually one with people is a indicator that the server is working correctly ) and double click it. It will launch ARMA 2 with everything set up and should launch into a ready window with a list of people. Click OK and wait a while and huzzah. Welcome to DayZ. Should you not wish to use DayZ Commander. Message me and I will talk you how to launch the game properly using STEAM.

Well that's just great to hear. I take it you don't play much? Me and Blessed had quite the number of high end loot items in our tent on your server and played exclusively on it. Even after several bouts of downtime, and not being able to access the server, we were contemplating putting 2/3 of the server cost together between us so we could play for another month, and get a team together in that time and all putting together to keep it alive. But after seeing that post and you not even having the common courtesy to fix your server so we could get our stuff back in the first place, I would like to thank you for hosting a good server in the past and wish you well.

^ Bit harsh dude TBH. People have RL issues they have to deal with and stuff. Admittedly the server has been screwed for some time now, I tried to join, had a bath, put a pizza in, ate it and watched True Blood before loading back in to the " Loading " Screen :(

Ah right. That uber sucks. CA10 is unacessable BTW. I keep getting stuck on " Loading "

Aww that sucks dude. Been mine and Blessed's server for a while now. Chances are we won't be able to get that together :/ How much would it cost just to keep CA10 up? Could you update, so we can swap our stuff to a different server? When is it due for renewal?

Needs updating to the latest BETA client and the latest DayZ patch. Just thought I'd let you know.

Server restart is urgently needed. Hackers have wrecked havoc on CA10.

Servers aren't resetting every 8 hours.

It's legit. It was removed accidentally when Rocket scraped too much with the cleaning.

Lesson learnt : Always expect people at the NWAF :P

Are you sure the server you are trying to connect to is 1.7.2.3?

The L85A2 AWS is a Assault Rifle. Lol.

Seems like a server connection problem with the HIVE. Also: You do know DayZ is a ALPHA don't you?

Keep trying to get out all around the house. This happened with me before when I just spawned in I just kept running around and I eventually glitched out.

^ Idd. Kind of glad they removed them. The radar in the choppers shows vehicles if they are close enough if I'm not mistaken.

Sound's like the servers needed a restart. DayZ servers seem to suffer from memory leaks alot of the time ( not sure weather this is ARMA 2 related, or just DayZ ) and they have to be restarted in order for the memory leaks to be fixed. Did you try and connect to a different server run by someone else and see if you still had the problem then?

Right. What exactly are you trying to do? I'm confused as weather or not it's the game or BattlEye you're trying to update. Also, what version are you using? STEAM or Retail?

Take a look at this video: If that doesn't improve it, go to the actual video and read the notes there. It's quite often that it's just the server that has a memory leak and hasn't been restarted to fix it. Which is why most servers restart 2 / 3 times a day.

IIRC They removed choppers SPAWNING, but they didn't remove choppers that were already ingame. For example if you had a chopper and crashed it. You'd not be able to get a chopper again. Also IIRC, the choppers fuel tank has a permanent leak, but I'm not 100% sure on this.

This is because you have to actually run the BETA client. I'm guessing you want STEAM overlay. Follow the instructions posted here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29401-guide-steam-to-those-spawning-invisible-no-debug-errors-beta-update/page__hl__%2Bsteam+%2Boverlay

Ah right then. Was that why it wasn't working with 1.7.2? Because it was picking up a different IP that's linked to Canada 1 + Canada 2 so it wasn't linking to the HIVE properly? Also, I don't think the restart every 8 hours is working again.

How come it's Canada 10 and Canada 11 now, just out of interest :P

It's a fucking ALPHA. If you don't like it, fuck off and wait till it's it's in BETA stage or Stand-Alone.

No. You either got looted, or the server you have them on swallowed the items. There's no way to get the item back.
