Here is a bunch of threads i found in a few minutes you slackers... TIP1 TIP2 TIP3 TIP4 ..

I have never aggroed 100 at once, even being at cherno apartments and dispatching off the complete lot around there and the hospital plus the next two respawns never got me to a hundred. 1.7.1.5 last night. Yes the through walls zeds suck enormously :)

Don't go on the rocks unless you find the mountain boots.

Still haven't seen one ..in over 150 plus hours..daymn. I am just North East of Zeleno now so hoping to see one further North. I hate going near Stary though. Bloodpacked two guys there on two seperate occasions and got shot for my worries. Cheers to the guy i bloodpacked at NW airfield who didnt cap me though.[/align] I must be unlucky because i have not even found a repairable anything yet either! Are they just randomly in a field somewhere ? and in different locations across servers ?

? can someone break it down for me please. cheers

Ok thanks :)

Loving the M14 atm..its so damn noisy though :) Good thing with the Coyote backpack though is that i have an ak74 Kobra stashed for close in action as well. That M14 just does not miss.

East :) Look for the sun, rises in the east..there be the way to the coast of pew pew.

You only hear it when they are really close, like under 10 feet. And from what i found last night , you can hear it if they are under you in a building as well. It sounds like a heartbeat, there is no other noise in the game that sounds like it. A guy i am travelling with killed a dude at Balota, we are all weaponed and medikitted up and taking no chances, he popped him and his mate. Now whenever i am within that 10 feet radius (roughly) and looking at him i hear his heartbeat. He has two murders logged. I have none and he hears nothing on me.You are basically face to face before it kicks in

Morphine does not seem to be as easy to find as it used to be .A couple of us are halfway up North and we all used our morhpine in the last few Zed attacks. Last Morphine we found was at the hospital in Cherno..a long way away. All of our chars are now a few days old and we are at the ' to paranoid to get seen by a zed' stage :) Travelling by yourself you need to always have at least 2-3 minimum before you start the inland trek these days.

...please :D

fixed..server error kept popping up. Imagine the possibilities !

it runs up to me, hits me once and I fall over i call that particualr move the Zed clothesline.

Possible for it to reset out of doorways every couple of hours or so ? Or wherever it has been placed ? Obvious reason being people barricading all important places in a town so no one else can get in quickly , even when they are logged off. Serves no point when they are logged off. Other reason, people not understanding how it works , find the item, place it exactly where they found it, serves no use, we came across some last night in the corner of a building with some other spawned loot near it. It had been erected in the corner right where it was found, my mate glitched while he was picking up a bandage near it and was stuck half in between the wire and the wall, could not move. We had to move server which was no biggie but if it happens when under zed attack or in a gunfight you are at a serious disadvantage. Vehicles, if someone has a vehicle , does that mean another will not respawn where it was found until it is blown up ? If so, that clearly means all of the vehicles on a map are gone in the first couple of hours of a complete reset . The bigger 'clans' or groups of people rush the vehicles and camp them until they are mobile and nobody else has a chance of ever getting wheels. In over 150 odd hours of playing i have only seen two tractors an atv and one lorry. Two of them, the lorry and atv, moving out into the wasteland area of the map when i had just spawned at Kamenka. The lorry i saw at night and was used to cart a couple of guys around who were just farming Balota and the military camp then driving back to wherever their stash was. Everyone knows that the bigger groups have vehicle stashes , im fine with that , working in a bigger group means a lot more fingers in the pie, but If a vehicle has been taken could there be a possibility it will respawn again ? If that already does happen please disregard my whole vehicle rant :) cheers

i agree with the cock and balls..that shit would be everywhere man. Cherno would look like a typical school washroom. No matter what was implemented to stop cock and balls type graffiti..they would find a way once they ahd the tools.

Well it's a good thing that ALL of us have those things on hand to make the game playable. I mean, it would suck if the rest of us had to, you know, scavenge around the cities to find supplies. Sorry dude , did not explain myself properly :) We spawned as new chars, with none of the above. That is what we looted journeying from Cherno to Balota. 1.7.1.4

Hey FFrank, not raggin on you, but i dont really know what sort of replies you really expected with your op. When i have got home from work i have not had a drama joining a vet or exp server running the latest patch/hotfix via six launcher using the filters to find the latest version number, plus you also have the queue option, or just do what everyone else does and madly hit the play button until a slot comes up..generally under a minute. Unless of course you only play on a particular server and that one is not updated when you jump on ? Well then you just got to wait.Like it or lump it. Either way it is not really here nor there, the servers are updated when the admin gets time to do it and like the guys above said, if you are hanging for a game you can backdate easily enough while waiting.Or do something else :)

But that means i dont get to keep my tent city with all of the loot i am hoarding and all of my vehicles ! I dont want anyone else to have them ! sarcasm off Loving the journey so far devs, kudos to you guys for the time you are putting in :cool:

Seems legit. My basics for a new char are.. 1. Hit Balota and get an akm or ak74 with ammo, some painkillers and extra bandages. 2. Hit Cherno hospital for bloodbags,morphine. Apartments across the road for bigger backpack , matches ,binocs, beans and drink. gtfo and head away from the coast. Takes about 20 minutes depending on zed attacks that you can lead into the hills anyway.

What vid card ? Check as NoMoreChillies said, update your drivers first. Your cpu should be ok as should your amount of ram. Does it look ok if you try vanilla arma ? Put your graphics settings in game to default then work your way up and see how it goes each time. Could be any one of the hotfixes too. Me and my mate (gtx680 and gt560ti) both got terrible graphics anomalies in 1.7.1.3 but 1.7.1.4 seems good again. Once you find out what card you have, do a search for posts related to that card and ARMA graphics settings. Turn postprocessing effects off (disabled) game looks like shite with it on. ahhh did you edit and add the card to your post or did i miss it ? either way..the card is a major major letdown :) Try a low resolution and low settings , the game is never going to run and look great with that card sorry :) Still, make sure you have the latest drivers for your setup and tweak your machine so nothing is running in the background while trying it out but i really do not expect you will get too far with something like that laptop and the ARMA engine .

Yep, any DCS title , IL2, or CloD..could not fly without it. Trackir is brilliant! Game changing.
