Dagger (DayZ)

I'll join up. I've been wanting a hack-free, relatively laid-back server so that I can really get into the game. Where is it located, geographically? Edit: never mind. Can't join. Says different server version. I'm just using the one that Steam put out, since I quit originally over the bullshit trying to get the right version to join each server.

YOU want to have fun. I want to see what else rocket has in store for me in other emotional areas. Please don't pretend you speak for the community. Wow, you're a pretentious douchebag. Most people want to have fun. Yes, in this community. Please don't pretend that most people share your neurotic masochism.

This game, unfortunately, is now full of scum who kill anything that moves, including unarmed players, either for sport or for loot. As this continues, otherwise good players are tempted to shoot first and ask questions later. Why wouldn't they? The world is full of assholes, and it's best to assume they all want to kill you. So now, you spawn unarmed in a world of enemies. What kind of game is that? It's masochism. Those with weapons are able to enjoy the game. Those without, well...I'm one of those. I spent 36 hours trying to figure out how to get out of debug hell, only to come back to a game that is unplayable because of selfish players. Rocket didn't ruin this game. The players did.

HOW do you guys know which way is east? Almost every time I've logged in I can't see the sun.

Too bad. It's an alpha. It's not supposed to work well. Play something else or stop whining like a bitch.

Have them make a backup of the ArmA2OA.exe in their Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead directory. Then try copying the ArmA2OA.exe from: \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta to: \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ Worked for me.

That really strange problem, if you had read through the troubleshooting forum, has been happening to tons of people. Post here so that the devs know how many people it's affecting. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9195

All right, I seem to have made progress. By copying ArmA2OA.exe from: C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta to: C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead I can now at least load the game. I'm still spawning in a field, but that's a hell of a lot better than not being able to run it at all!

Always spawned in the plains with no gear since the last update. Tried installing the beta to fix it, and the beta prevents ARMA from even running. I really hope a solution to this is found soon.

I've been messing with this damned thing all day, and finally narrowed down the primary culprit: the beta patch. Here's my process of installing everything, using Steam: 1. Download ARMA 2. Run it. Quit. 2. Download Operation Arrowhead. Run it. Quit. 3. Use Worrom's updater with a mirror generously provided by someone in GenDis. Everything works fine, I can get in and join servers, but every server that I can access drops me into a field with nothing. Sometimes I can move, more often than not I can't. It was at this point that things were pretty much at their peak in terms of functionality. Then I installed the beta(98325) because it seemed like many servers are now running that particular patch. After I installed it, I now have the following experience trying to run DayZ from Worrom's installer: 1. I hit play with "Launch Beta" checked. 2. I get "No entry '.profilePathDefault'. 3. I hit "OK" on this error and the checkboxes come up as if the game is loading 4. I get "bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/G36_C_SD_eotech/Burst/: Cannot find base class 'Burst'" Dead stop. Program doesn't load after that point. The latest patch certainly seems to be the culprit, but I also tried the patch ending in 701, and had the same issues. Any advice or help on what I can edit or change in settings or files to get me past this? I was hardcore playing this game for days up until yesterday.

I noticed in another thread that someone had put the latest updated files into a zip that was hosted on Rapidshare. Can't we have the full package hosted there, or on some other hosting site that is reliable? I've had a litany of problems over the last few days, but the most glaring issue is that the armafiles.info and other mirrors that are listed on DayZ's site are almost always either down or so overloaded that nothing can be downloaded from them. On the rare occasion that I can get a file downloading, it's so slow as to be ridiculous. I just can't imagine that with the popularity of this mod that it's impossible to spread the files around to more sites to keep up with the huge increase in demand.
