But you can stick an M9 mag into an MP5? Makes sense.

I don't understand why you could put an M9SD mag into an MP5SD, but not the other way around...

I had the same problem, then I stuck to using ONLY the six launcher to start the game. That allowed me to get past waiting for host.

I've never been able to run the game through steam. Try using the Six launcher.

How does one properly go about downgrading? I knew I shouldn't have done it the way I did, it seemed a little shady ;]

I'm struggling to get in a game here... I had updated to the 94945 build, but then downgraded back to 94876, which was working. Now every time I go to launch the game right before the game starts I get a "Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Dubbing_Counterattack'" message.. then once I'm loading into the server I get a "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'" message. Then it just kicks me back to the main menu. I am currently updated to 1.7.2.3 and 94876... and joining only servers with those same versions.

Nice! Logout last night to 1.7.2.1... and wake up to 1.7.2.3! Edit: Rocket, where you typed "NOTE: 1.7.2.3 WILL APPEAR TO BE SKIPPED. THIS WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ERROR WITH THE BUILD, SO IT JUMPED TO 1.7.2.3" Did you mean to say "1.7.2.2 WILL APPEAR TO BE SKIPPED" and not 1.7.2.3?

All the SE servers went down? The SE test servers went down?

Last person I saw saying something along these lines got himself a nice juicy ban. Bro, this is a mod. In alpha stage. That is free. Like the previous person said, gtfo.

You sir are not going to have much fun playing DayZ for awhile. Like all the other smart people say, don't get attached to ANY of your gear. Ever. Be prepared to lose any/everything at any moment's notice.

Yeah can we get some sort of list or something explaining what was actually removed from the game?

Are you playing on a 'Recruit' server ?! Nope, regular. Chicago 61

I can see every player on my map -_-

The people who "lost" their L85's... can you still see the name of it in the upper right hand corner? I can see the name, but I'm holding my pistol which I can't shoot.

Everyone seems to be complaining about ghillie suits missing..

*Server: Chicago 57 (Hosted by Ghillie Suit Goons) ...(The [GSG] guys] *Time: ~1:30 a.m. EST A friend of mine had spotted a large camp with several vehicles and tons of weapons... Thing is, those weapons weren't supposed to be in the game. So I went up to the camp and noticed someone standing there (A [GSG] clan member named "ThatDirtySlave"). I crept up on him (I think he was afk) and killed him. I ran to his body to check what he had real quick and found an M110 NV Scope rifle. Right after I took it an admin had kicked me. I then joined another server since I figured they kicked me to get in place to kill me when I logged back in... Then once I had gotten back to Chicago 57, I was in only for a moment before being kicked yet again. Every time I try joining this server now I just get kicked after a few moments, probably once they realize I'm back in. This server needs to be shut down immediately. Video: Edit: I got back in this server to see if they were still gonna kick me and they did. But after awhile they stopped... until I was mysteriously killed from nothing. Then once I got close to where I had died I started getting kicked again. Video: Good thing I had been recording, I was assuming shit was bout to go down. xD

I don't think it's necessarily right to just outright ban someone for using a weapon that's not supposed to be in the game. A lot of people don't know which weapons should or should not be in the game... and may loot them off of someone who actually did hack them into the game. I mean.. I'm sure there's a good chance he was responsible for it but there is also that chance he just found the stuff. I myself have found and used guns off bodies then later on realized I shouldn't have been using them as they were hacked in.

That actually isn't any evidence at all...

Thank you very much! Glad to see some justice dealt. :D

Kinda hard not to exploit when other people are playing the game fairly? Where's the rule against using tank traps and barbwire?

I just hope eventually there will be good countermeasures against admins abusing powers, or to have all servers not hosted by just any person. As of right now, people have proven they're currently incapable of hosting a server themselves. Don't get me wrong, there are a good number of honest hosts. But the number of corrupt, lying and cheating ones is just too great. Something really should be done about it soon. I know we aren't entitled to any real service for DayZ, as we never bought it... which some people fail to realize. But as big as this game is becoming, it sure would be nice to have a decent bit of support. I digress... but all in all, I am very happy with the game minus the current flaws. The game is in Alpha and has a long road ahead of it. (I hope)

Le bump.

This isn't really something you can control and it actually can stop you from using your own tent.. losing a tent in the process. I placed two tents close to trees to try and conceal them a little.. but it only ended up making it so I couldn't use or pack them back up.

I added in 4 more (Blue circles) 2 at the NW airfield, 1 at Stary, and 1 at Kozlovka. The one I added the the NW airfield that's furthest NW.. It literally was in the middle of the trees, you could hardly tell it was even there. http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5388/helicrashsites.png

Yeah, I'd like it if at least some sort of staff member would just say something about this. Server admins clearly abusing power and nothing being done... or said about it.
