Creepshow

That is what I am banking on. Not just with my complaint but also many more great things to come as time goes on.

I was in the supermarket that is just south of Zelenogorsk. It really wasn't a very big town but an instant buy one get one free on human meat coupon must have been given out to the surrounding zombies (including the infinite horde of invisible ones). I just really felt that me with a rifle and pistol and a bunch of ammo and my friend with a pistol and a lot of ammo could hold off a supermarket on the edge of town. It felt like the spawn was never going to end which kind of took it out of me. I don't mind a lot of spawn to work your way around and more coming in when they hear sound but right now it seems like a bit much to me.

This game is a blast but with the recent patch of infinite zombie spawn it has become almost impossible to go into towns. I am not exaggerating when I say that me and a friend snuck into a supermarket with no detection and then a zombie walked through a closed door and started hitting me so I had to shoot it. That ended up being the end of us. We just stayed in the Supermarket (because I instantly broke a bone) and I killed 46 zombies and my friend killed 31 and the spawn never stopped. I really enjoy the realism of this game but that was kind of ridiculous. It seems like it wasn't like this a patch or two ago. The realism side can only go so far. There were quite a few zombies (8?) outside of the supermarket and I get that like hippies more will come out of the woodwork but if you want to talk realism how did they walk through closed doors, shelves, and glass coolers? I have even heard some punch through walls, Hulk? Don't get me wrong I will keep playing, I just hope this goes in a better direction. This many zombies did not spawn in the last patch so hopefully Rocket was just testing this out and hopefully I'm not the only one that does not enjoy it and can see the non-realism in it. The only reason I keep mentioning realism is because it seems like this is a direction of the game. Okay, I'm done. This is alpha so my point is I have my complaints but it all goes for working towards the greater good of the game. Now time for me to respawn.

I fixed my problem. I was not launching OA correctly so the beta patch for Arma was not loading. Here is the site with the instructions I used: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9314

I finally got on a server that loaded everything. I can now walk to towns but I still have issues. I am invisible in 3rd person, when I pick up loot sometimes other loot disappears, zombies don't see me (even after shooting them they will drop to the ground and start crawling but not at me), I have multiple green diamonds that show up on my screen that look like they could be waypoints, and there is constantine wire in random places. The wire will be in buildings and I know the buildings didn't have them when the game was playing fine for me. Hopefully the next update will fix this, but I will keep working on it until then.

The Canada 2 server is saying that I have an incorrect DayZ version. I have .5 and I think the server is running .4 so I'm guessing I need to find the old files to do a rollback on my game. Hopefully I can have some time to play around with this while it is still light on that server.

I'm still stuck in the same empty area too. I will keep looking into it. I need to get this going before the weekend.

I see that people refer to debug forest as an area outside of the map but the videos I see show at least trees spawning. What if you are in an area that just has green terrain and no grass or trees. Every time I hit respawn it just takes me back here. I once was in an area that I just had to run east along the ocean that finally got me back on the map but this is different. It started yesterday when me and my roommate both logged in and couldn't move and were in the same area I described. Today I can move but this just doesn't seem like the same area people are referring to as debug forest. I have updated to the most recent beta patch of Arma 2 and DayZ today. Not sure if this helps but every time I click respawn my character has nothing, not even a back pack and when you click 3rd person, I'm invisible. Here is a screenshot of where I have been stuck at on every server even after respawning. In this shot I found some random person just standing there but not responding. There isn't always people in this area. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968406595/screenshot/578959576700167403?tab=public

Date/Time:06/18/2012 10:00pm Pacific What happened: When I log in my character is just in an open green area. Grass doesn't load (I see a green floor just nothing on top of it is loading) or anything else. My character cannot move or even bring up inventory. Trying to respawn does nothing either. Where you were: I logged off in Stary Sobor last night but I don't thiis matters much because my roommate logged off in a different town and is experiencing the exact same problem I am. What you were doing: Just logged in this way. I logged off fine last night. *Current installed version: 1.7.1 I just ran Worrom's Day Z updater as well to make sure I am up to date. I do have the latest Arama 2 beta patch installed as well. *Server(s) you were on: Any server I log into is this way *Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error:
