Did you equip the suit? Once I got a Gillie suit and I didn't equip it, I logged off and it was gone. Always equip it right away, then throw your civilian clothes away and it will be bound to you until you die.

Does no bandits go to devils castle anymore?

I know.. But its not really viable to stick around the north unless you have a sniper, and its not really viable to go back south either because good ammo doesn't spawn.. So yea.. I'm just seeing if people perfer to play with lower tier weapons, instead of wasting time getting high tier only to get killed by some noob with a markov. I have played the high tier track many times, and I always die for some dumb reason after I spend hours being stealthy and hunting my kills.

The other day a survivor was in supermarket in cherno, he didn't have a gun or weapons, but was loots soda that I wanted so I shot him, I thought he died but I see him crawling away, I kinda felt bad so I was nice enough to bandage him up, then watched him crawl away and log out. Poor guy, I feel kinda bad, oh well, hope you got your blood back up hommie.

Is it worth it as a bandit to travel to nw airfield? The guns are great, but good ammo for good guns only spawns up there mostly. So what do you guys do? Gear up on ammo then run back south and kill people down there? Or stay around NW airfield? Next re-spawn I will probably not be going for good weps and gear, lee en flied works fine, and you only have to check barns for it.. As my ak has 6 clips, but once that's gone I have to either go back north or get a different gun.. Basically my question is, as a bandit, where should I be hunting once I have my gear decked out? Its too boring up north, I won't go directly into nw airfiled since sinpers are around and I have only a ak. Should I stick around up north and try to kill people without getting sniped or should I just go south and kill noobs for the fuck of it?

Were you by chance the guy on the top of tower in nw airfield? =D

You don't like it? Then leave. Simple as that. The game is suppose to be realistic, without a toolbox you could not remove a bolted barb wire kit in real life, so why should you be able to in the game? I think its fine, possibly make them a bit more rare, but other then that they are fine. The wire does its job, as it would in real life.

I prefer to stay away from sixupdater, I've had problems with it before, as have others. By following this guide you will always have a clean install with no patch conflicting.

I've been seeing a lot of you having problems with the game, mostly due to your DayZ code not matching the servers. Problems like spawning in debug field, ocean, forest; not having sound, invisible, no debug menu. If you have a clean install each time you apply a beta patch, these problems won't happen. But reinstalling can take up time, and beta patches are pretty frequent. So to ensure you have the game working 100% of the time with minimal effort, you can follow this guide. At the end of the guide you will have a set of default files you will copy/paste each time there is a beta patch, doing this will make sure you have no conflicts between patches. I do this, and I have never had a single problem. Step One: Uninstall Arma 2 + OA, then go to C:\Program Files or wherever your Arma is installed, and delete the "Bohemia Interactive" folder. This will ensure you have a clean install of the game to work with. Step Two: Reinstall Arma + OA and apply the latest ARMA 2 patch located here: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?Itemid=20 Making sure to only do this step, and not installing anything DayZ related. Step Three: Copy/Paste the "Bohemia Interactive" folder from your C:\Program Files install location; to another location on your computer for safe keeping, these will be your default files. Now you have the core set of files that you will use any time DayZ updates, do not modify the default files once you have pasted them. Now you can install the latest DayZ beta to your real install location, (not the default files we saved) the patch should automatically detect the correct install location. Beta files located here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Once installed make sure you right-click and add the "-mod=@dayz" to the target line of the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut, and run the game via this shortcut!!! Your game should be working fine now. Launch the game via "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" as administrator. IMPORTANT!! WHEN DayZ does update all you need to do is delete the "Bohemia Interactive" folder in your install location and copy the backup "Bohemia Interactive" we saved BACK to that location. Then install the latest beta and do the "-mod=@dayz" to the target line of the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut, and run the game via this shortcut. If you followed these steps you should have the game working within a few min each time it updates, and with 0 errors from now on. Good Luck!

This is a zombie SURVIVAL simulation, if that happend IRL power would be out nation wide, and it would be pitch black. Don't change a thing, bitches can use flashlights if dey scared. If you scared motherfuka go to chuch.

Bump?

So the game concept was really interesting, interesting enough to make my buy Arma CO just for this mod. But I am a bit disappointed, there is a good base for the game, a good foundation one might say.. But.. There is some tweaking that NEEDS to be done for this to become what it should be. I have reviewed the game for a few days, it is really glitchy, its really unstable, but this is the alpha and these problems will be fixed eventually (I hope).. What I think needs to be changed: Zombies need to be much more realistic, not running around at sonic speeds. Not only that but a BIG issue is that they spawn randomly. You can be sitting somewhere with no zombies anywhere near you, then one spawns randomly next to you. That is majorly UNREALISTIC! This is suppose to be a zombie survival simulation, please make it one. Make zombies travel in herds like they would (probably) IRL, and spawn them at the start of the server map ONCE randomly in Random logical clusters, kind of how Minecraft and Terraria work. Other then the zombie issue I think the game is great. You guys, the coders, have the potential to make the game legendary, look at how much success you have had in such a short time, this is only alpha and you have the power to change what I have wrote about. Lets have the goal to make this a zombie simulation, a TRUE zombie survival simulation. Please if you agree with me show support and bump this thread so the Dev's see this.

I am having the same problem now, I had the no sound glitch. So I reinstalled the game, reinstalled the mod.. Then I spawned in the debug field, it was a endless field... So I respawned, now I am back in the world, but I have no weapons, I spawn with only a few items but no gun, 75% of my items are gone.. This seems like a database problem.... I've tried adding the beta patch, this changes nothing.. Tried joining countless servers, nothing... Guess we gotta wait till the next patch..
