U.B.C.S. Ravin

Hello. As one of the admins for US302 thank you for filing this. Please next time an incident like this happens, to take screenshots of it and run FRAPS so we can ban them from their GUID and report it to DayZ staff. Regards, Ravin.

This issue was resolved. There was something wrong with our server box and it was causing instability problems. Basically our server was hiccuping and causing users to not connect right and the server was just 'hanging' up.

So you use 65 instead. Just to spite me. Trolololol

It seems running the server with 80 was not exactly ideal- We had to bump US128 back down to 50. People were having 'Waiting for Character to Create' issues. Fun while it lasted.

Recently we noticed a slotted server also we play on sometimes did something similar, all the cars disappeared. All the loot in our tents was still there, but it seems like the restarts or gameplay constantly is resetting itself back to a specific point and never updating. Though, on the dedicated servers I admin, we have not had this issue. I am wondering if it has to do the slotted servers like GS and UBF.

After I figured out how loot works nothing is uncommon for me e-e;; so I see your point. I think my longest shot would have to be 900m~ with an SVD at some guy at the airfield running down the hangers.

You need to install the beta. Download it, then do the above.

Okay. Let me explain how I got the beta to work for me through steam. I am assuming you bought Combined Operations Through Steam. Right click on Operation Arrowhead, go down to Properties. Go to Set Launch Options. Put this line of code in. -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ;ca -nosplash -window Close that down. Now, Go into your steam folder. most likely in c:/Program Files (x64)/Steam/steamapp/common/arma 2 operation arrowhead/ You will see Arma2OA exe. Copy that and paste it in the same folder. Do not copy and replace, simply make a second exe. Arma2OA - Copy should be the file. Now, In the same folder, continue to Expansion/beta You will see a file called arma2oa. Copy that. Go back to the Operation Arrowhead folder where you made a copy of the Arma2OA. Paste the Beta you just copied into that folder. Replace the Exe when it promps you to do so. Run Combined Operations through steam.

Its a great rifle to fire from the hip from. Most refiles, (Unless Rifles that have zeroing) are accurate up to the dot they are set before you have to use Milidots. For example the DMR mid Dot is good up to 400m from the middle. Considering how common the DMR ammo is, its rapid fire, and stopping power makes it perfectly acceptable to shoot from the hip with. Same with the M14 AIM. So if someone sneaks up on you, you don't really need to swap to a sidearm, you can just turn and spray n' pray.

G3 got to the wiki link before I did! Good luck, now its just tedious time fiddling with it and getting it to work the specific way you want.

Well, I am making sure THATS what is going on before I explain to you how to get the beta to run through steam. Have you installed the Arma2 Beta yet? Well, of course you have. You wouldn't be able to enter any servers without it. Let alone get a error message :3

Okay, so its likely the problem you are not running the Arma2 Beta, Right? It doesn't sound like you have it setup through steam to run the Arma2 beta for Combined Operations to play DayZ.

The only issue with this gun is the Red Dot gets in the way at far distances. It hinders the rifles long range abilities, but from 100-500m. Its a great all around rifle. One shot kill too.

You aren't missing it... This is a fairly common problem. You need to run Combined Operations. If you are running Combined Operations, then you either; A. Have to run Arma2 Regular, Close it, then Run Arma2 Operation Arrowhead, Close it, then attempt to run Combined Operations, OR B: Reinstall your Arma2 and Arma2 Operation Arrowhead. Please tell us what launcher you are using. Are you using Steam, or are you using the retail version of Arma2?

Think the DMR is the only sniper rifle that is NVG friendly. I use an SVD during the day, DMR at night. Think the M24 is one shot one kill. DMR isn't. I think you can split the DMR ammo into four clips of M24 ammo, right? So really, the differences are minor.

It would help us understand you easier if you told us what kind of launcher you are using. Is this your first time running Arma2/DayZ?

Run combined operations. Through steam, right click on Operation Arrowhead and go to 'Launch Combined Operations."

I wanted to point out in less than 12 hours after we increased the cap of US128 it skyrocketed to 80/80 players, placing our server at one of the top on the list. Thank you guys for the great support!

DE29? Are you sure its new. Newer servers are WELL over in the hundreds now... I could be wrong. All I know is, older servers have the files to have helicopters, but they cause instablity issues. (which were supposedly addressed recently with Vehicle Desync problems.) I could get in contact with your server admin and verify the information. If its just one helicopter, and an older server. It could just be one of the few servers that have helicopters.

Due to the heavy lag complaints we are forced to shut down US302 earlier than we anticipated.

Early servers have choppers. Newer servers do not. What server were you on?

What is this noise? Rocket, Gave up on DayZ? Update like, three days ago. Talks of 1.7.2.4 soon. Choppers coming back potentially, Vehicles desyncing problems fixed. Beartraps added... talk of underground bunkers, generators. Fixed Duping problem... Fixing Alt-F4 problem in the works. Has he quit...? Where do you get this idea?

Well, considering I am not a bush sniper and I am always at the front line, 3rd person doesn't really offer me any higher of an advantage over other players with the same options. However, that's just how I like to play. I play in First Person all the time too. Like driving. People tell me its terrible but I like to drive in first person while driving the the large pickup truck.

Bend over baby

US 302 will be going down as Ebian said. This server was the lowest populated out of our three servers. We may bring it back up if performance if fixed in later patches/DayZ becomes stable. We are sorry for the inconvenience to anyone on US302.
