I was playing DayZ earlier today (About 2 hours ago) I got off for a while to wait for the new patch, I got back on, chose a server I regularly play on, and when I clicked it just froze, I tried to go through Arma2: OA and it gave me a "Could not create Direct3d graphical engine" error, so I downloaded Direct3d driver, installed it and same problem, even tried going on 1.7.1 servers, any ideas?

I think there should be ways to protect yourself in the wilderness other then just sneaking, once someone finds enough stuff (Only in military areas, ect.) they can create/place landmines, barbed wire, that kind of stuff so zombies and other players cant get in easily. Now to make it so people just dont camp, I think the barbed wire should take damage, like every zombie that runs into it gets killed but it does like 5% damage to it and once it reaches 0% health it breaks down, and the landmines only kill one person/zombie and since its an explosion it should alert many zombies (Not necessarily to the players position but where the explosion went off at). I think this would give the players a light sense of security but also wouldnt last forever (Maybe 5 min or so total) and if a land mine went off near barbed wire and a player zombies would flock to the explosion, see the player, run into the barbed wire and it would be broken down in like a minute or less causing the player to think fast how to react. Im open for thumbs up or criticism =)

That would be horrible, safe zones arnt realistic in this environment, if there was a safe zone, there would be no outbreak, they could eventually set up more and more and wipe out the infection. Maybe some kind of random woman begging you to find and save her lost child in exchange for food or whatnot would be a good idea to try, but the lack of trade (Especially NPCs), just bartering and scavenging is what make this game realistic, this isnt a MMO and it should never be made into one, it has a unique concept, the idea of instances could be good, but turning it into quests or XP or whatever would make this nothing more then a WoW wana be.

Im about to die, I broke my leg last night, successfully raided a hospital, Killed a few zombies that heard the shots (All with a broken leg) fixed it with morphine and now am about to die because I cant find food or water...Sadface.
