Strange. I haven't gotten the update. I can still get into the game too. I thought updates were global?

Then I really have no idea, sorry. Your best bet is to email BattlEye support at support@battleye.com. If anyone finds any solutions or gets support to this issue or any other mentioned issues, could you please post the fix here so others can find it. Thanks :)

Just to confirm, this is the issue you're having? Before I'd fixed the issue, I had found that there was a lingering process from BattlEye called "BEService.exe" still running after failed attempts to launch the game. Knowing this, the next thing I'd try is restarting my computer to get rid of any lingering processes from failed launches. I'd then retry deleting the folders + verifying. I hope this works for you. If it doesn't please email BattlEye support.

Yeah, I assume the update may have corrupted some files or something. For anyone else having this issue, if this didn't fix it, I also deleted the BattlEye folder from "C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\DayZ" too. Not sure if that did anything but it's worth a shot.

Fixed my launching issue. I just deleted my BattlEye folder from the game folder then verified my files through steam. Fixed. I can't believe I've wasted this much time and it was that simple!

The only vehicle spawn map I've seen is the one posted by bingo_fuel. Has anyone been able to confirm any of the locations on the map, or found spawned vehicles somewhere other than areas marked on this map?

Has it rained for anyone in this build? I haven't seen any rain in 0.59 yet.

So I am also having trouble launching the game. Is the following the same thing everyone is getting? Sometimes I get this: And sometimes it gets as far as this: This has happened to me in the past after an update but restarting my computer has always worked in the past but it didn't this time. :( I'll email BattlEye support but was just wondering if this is what others are getting?

This is the first time an idea of being able to better identify other players hasn't been terrible. I like it but it really all comes down to it's execution. Not really a fan of text popping up but I can't think of any other way to do it. There would also need to be a counter. Like if their face is covered you can't identify them or something. Or you'd only know them by their clothes. Still it's an interesting idea.

I try avoid military clothes all together so I don't look "geared". The idea being people are less likely to kill me on sight... It doesn't work.

Shopping carts were also mentioned in that thread. Just sayin'.

Well if it's going to be like that I hope the first one is the hatchback or the sedan. They're what I'm most keen on. I also wonder were they'll spawn? or if they'll just use the V3S spawn points?

What effect would tear gas have on a player? Something like this maybe: red haze over the screen, mostly around the edges of the screen with the top and bottom of your screen being taken up by blurry edged black bars. Simulating squinting through stinging eyes. Would it be cleared with water? or even milk if that ever exists in the game?

Yes, I agree. We should definitely add thongs to the game. or "flip flops" as you non Australians call them. On a more serious note. Yeah it'd be cool if the vehicles are more than W to go forward and S to brake/reverse like so many games. Maybe the sedan would be automatic but manual transmissions would be awesome with the other announced vehicles. It'd be neat if the V3S needed you to use double clutch and had a lot more gears. Maybe the more you grind the gears with bad gear shifts the more you wear out the engine. I just really like games that have realistic vehicle controls. Particularly with aircraft when we get those. Helicopters are meant to be hard to fly for someone who's inexperienced. I'm not asking for a full flight sim inside DayZ but just something more than the super oversimplification and hand holding a lot of games do.

Because I have pretty crappy internet I lose nearly all my fights due to lag and desync. When I think back on my experience I realise I have only ever gotten 2 kills in 300 hours that I can remember. The first time went like this... I am a hermit 99% of the time but this time I was teamed up with another player I'd met in-game a few days earlier. We were looting in Novo, up in the north, when I hear a very loud shot. My friend drops dead instantly. I take cover and try to figure out were the shot came from. Within seconds I took a hit but didn't drop. Not knowing were the shots were coming from I just ran into the closest building and bandaged up. While sitting there I heard movement above me. They were on the roof of the building I had just run into. I knew the only way onto the roof was the ladder on the side of the building so I tried to move as silently as possible to a position I could see the ladder from while still inside. Then I waited. ...and waited. I thought he had logged out and I was convinced he wasn't there anymore... but fear had me frozen in position. What if he's still there? After about 10-15 minutes I hear movement again and he starts coming down the ladder. My heart races as I fear he'll see me, He'll come get me. I unload a fully loaded SKS into the side of his rib cage as they were climbing down. All the shots hit but I still fear he's somehow alive. I left through the other side of the building and head for the trees. I flank all the way around and see their body at the base of the ladder. Fear turns to excitement that I lived, that I get to loot their body. As I'm doing just that, my friend arrives. He had been running back all this time. He looted his old body and we shared the snipers loot and were off. It was the most scary and stressful experience in my life, let alone gaming.

Old UI. The gun in your hand and on your back switch when you hotbar select the one on your back.

Yeah. I'm not saying the dropping bit is a bug, but when you put the gun on your back, it's the wrong one and leaves your hands empty. Despawning the one you were just holding. But this is just a theory. It could just as likely be human error on my part or something. I need to recreate it so I know I'm not just going crazy. EDIT: logged on quickly and found out I was wrong about how switching between double carried guns work. Read my earlier post for more details.

Also, has anyone been able to find a hunting scope this build? I spent about 4 hours looking for one last night to no avail.

Not sure if this is a bug or my own mess ups going unnoticed but I seem to be losing the gun off my back sometimes when double carrying. I've lost two or three guns this way. I think this is what's happening. When I hotbar select the gun on my back (gun #1) while holding another gun in my hands (gun #2), the gun in my hands (gun #2) falls on the ground. Later, when I put the gun I'm now holding (gun #1) on my back, it's the gun I was double carrying earlier (gun #2) which is put on my back, despawning gun #1. I have not tried to recreate this yet to confirm it. Sadly, I don't have time to. I need to study for an exam tomorrow. Maybe it's something someone with more free time could test. EDIT: I popped on real quick and my theory is wrong. You don't drop the gun you're holding when you hotbar select the gun on your back. They switch. Though with this it must mean it's a bug somewhere as I wouldn't have deliberately dropped one. I'll just have to keep an eye out for what exactly is happening so I can recreate it and report it.

I think I remember something similar to this being mentioned in the thread earlier but I couldn't find it. I can't launch DayZ at the moment. When I try this is as far as I get: Any advice on how to get BattlEye to work so I can play? EDIT: Nevermind. Restarting my computer fixed it.

This is my first attempt at playing the experimental build so in regard to experimental I am completely ignorant. Sorry if anything I say or ask seems obvious etc. When I launch the game I am greeted by this message: When I try to 'Change server' there are none listed. If I go back to the main menu, this message reappears. Not sure if it's related but I also seem to be having trouble with changing any of the configurations. It asks me to restart but once I do most or all the changes have reverted to what they were before I changed them. I tried to search around for this error message but found nothing in the forum and only mentions in hacking sites through google. I would reinstall but my internet is horrible and I'd have to leave it downloading all day and night. Any advice? EDIT: The server list filled out this time for some reason, and I managed to get into a game. Nothing in game seems obviously broken just yet. If anyone knows what this error message means, is it critial? Or should I just ignore it and play on? EDIT: Been playing for a few minutes now and mid-game I just got a new error message:

I really like the idea of very dark places that you 100% need a torch to see anything at all. So this would be caves and underground complexes as others have said. As for a map, I kinda like the idea of a holiday island that was repurposed as a last stance for the military. I'm thinking a medium-small map with a small airport and a cruise ship sized dock. I think it'd be great if there was a fully enterable cruise ship and navy ship (possibly offshore a little bit) or even an aircraft carrier. These ships, no longer being staffed by a crew have gone dark and like I said, you would need a torch to explore. I suggest a holiday destination because I like the contrast between the paradise beaches with small huts, and beach chairs compared to the harsh military setup that has overtaken it. Oh and if it's not in the game by the time modding is introduced, add blood on the walls/floor and bodies. As several others have said, tell a story with the environment.

Before I start, this is not a complaint. Just sharing my observations. I normally play on 1pp servers and have logged hundreds of hours on them but recently I switched to 3pp for some light hearted fun without having to worry about losing my character. In the 2 days I have been playing on 3pp servers my character has been reset 4 times! This is crazy. I have played using my 1pp character since the great wipe and have never had it reset. I assume it has something to do with the player count as I normally play on low pop 1pp and have been playing on max pop 3pp. Has anyone else noticed this or have I just been really lucky on 1pp and unlucky on 3pp.

I normally get the "WARNING! The hive couldn't connect to your character" or whatever it says near 100% of the time, but then It just says "Ready!" then I log in fine with my old character.

Or maybe it's just my super crappy internet which isn't responding in time to a laggy (due to max pop) server so my character is reset.
