same thing has just happened to me but was logging into a server that I play on all the time, dont know exact location but has nailed it for me, brilliant game, love it, but cant see the point in wasting time on it since i am 99% killed by stupid things like this, twice this has happened, both times with pretty good gear, I can survive against zombies, players you can live against if you think carefully about where you are and what your doing but surviving against 20ft drops = impossible any input devs as to why this is happening? is it hackers or just some random bug?

jeez its a couple of guys having fun with a mod they were asked to try out.. nooo need to be serious about it in any way, has it effected the way you play? doubt it.. will it effect the mod adversely from them doing it? no.. i watch yogscast wit me son all the time n they are very funny but they dont for 1 second make me think differently or badly about anything they play and mess around in, its all in the name of fun with them, i cant understand why people dont get that but if they dont they dont, no1 cares, just play :D

Yea iv just went into armex for a mess about and it has nothing to do with DayZ mod bugging out its just the way arma is. whenever you want to switch to a weapon in your pack always use the right arrow to place the weapon in the primary slot and it will move the other wep straight into your backpack, use the left arrow initially to move a wep into pack then pick the other 1 up then use the right, if you try to use the left arrow with a wep already in your pack it will eject the weapon your holding since its seeing you havent got the space! also from what im seeing the weapon isnt actually disappearing, i noticed a few times that it was placing the weapon behind me for up to as much as 3 meters away and with the ammo spread out, so if your in a forest or thick grass it can be quite easily thought that the items are gone since you cant see them and don't think to look that far behind you + you aint going to notice unless your centred on it and the take option pops up! go into armex and use it to get familiar with the system (shud of thought of that before but hey ho lol) cos its a mare in the field as were brutally finding out.. :P

iv figured out the swapping of packs, open new first, swap all from old into new then take new pack and you dont seem to lose anything that way but the weapon thing is a bit baffling, i dare not even try again with any weps for fear of them turning to dust in the bottom of the bag lolz feel free anyone to update with a working method, corpse 1 as a workaround mebs but isnt practical if your wanting to change to a silenced wep for stealth infiltration if you have to fire off a loud 1 to get your corpse :)

how do you actually deal with swapping weapons that are in your pack? tried dropping a primary wep to equip primary wep from bag then tried putting dropped 1 into bag, didnt work, m24 magically disappeared when dropped it along with ammo :/ tried straight swap of AN-FL with night sight with pp-19 silenced making sure there was enough slots on both sides for their ammo, AN-FL completely disappeared along with ammo :/ what is the procedure or is just completely bugging out at the moment?

this needs fixed big time man, i spent ages getting the stuff to survive away from cities, map, compass, knife, matches and all the rest and it plonks me in a wasteland with getting back an impossible feat with no water or food, the odd wildlife is there to kill for meat but without trees for wood to light a fire or a pond to fill ya waterbottle ya screwed, i simply cant get far in this game at all and when i do this happens lolz, how the hell has folk survived for weeks and not had this kill them :/ i know its in alpha so cant really complain but come on, this is a priority to get right so people can experience it for longer and not fall to such wasteful deaths, absolutely love the mod but im not seeing a point in even trying to get all that gear again if the very next day you find it all to be a waste of time :/

LoL a bandit is a bandit and would choose a friendly flag just for the fun of deceiving everyone and you would be like, "oh look friendly, nothing to worry about then.." back turned, bang, dead!

Hey guys, this has probably been mentioned already but i'll whack it in all the same! Currently you can only equip either a torch or pistol in the secondary wep slot, torch you can put in tool belt while you use your pistol, wouldnt you guys think it would be realistic to be able to put your pistol in tool belt aswel whilst using torch, as if you were holstering it? at the moment having to drop your pistol at night seems wrong :D Would like to thank Rocket and crew for making this mod, absolutely brilliant, arma2 is a truly beautiful game and this mod really opens up your eyes to just how good it is! walking down a country pitch black lane with nothing but torchlight to see your way, the sound of wind passing your ears and the ground crunching beneath your feet, looking up admiring the stars and crescent moon and panning across the silhouette of forest to the backdrop of a slightly red pinkish lit close of day sky in the distance, it starts to rain and suddenly flash lightning and thunder strike making you nearly throw your mouse of the desk with shitting yourself, because all through that atmosphere your listening hard for sounds of zombies groaning and snorting so you can get the hell out the way or be mauled lol.. 1 word, epic :)

I can see Robersdee's point although the rage is'nt called for at all with it only being in alpha as we cant expect it to be polished. I was directed to this game by friends and love it, brilliant idea, but the new patch is a bit of a backward turn in terms of gameplay for me, you HAVE to be very very VERY lucky to spawn somewhere near the spawn of some kind of weapon, otherwise you simply have no chance to get anywhere without having a trail of zombies chasing us down, I managed to survive for a good half hour today but only because i found a hatchet round the corner, the 6 tries after that, i spawned and almost immediately had to go on the run every time from zombies being aggroed from a football field away, at the very least we should be spawning with an element of defense against these buffed senses super olympic sprinting carcasses, hatchet or a gun and a mag and 1 bandage is all that's needed to get us on our way, at the moment it's been made far too hard and now bordering on being unplayable (for me anyway) whereas before the patch it was pretty cool, you could fend the initial zombies off giving you time to find things to help you carry on, I will keep having a go in its current state but it is'nt really that enjoyable anymore having to esc-respawn only a few mins in because death is the only outcome you can see when you have nothing of use to stay alive, yes we want it to be hardcore hard but we also want to be able to play it :) this is constructive criticism, forum trolls need not reply :P EDIT: I showed my sister it today cos she loves zombie films and games and she asked me "why are the zombies sprinting?" she has a valid point, they should start to move faster when they see or smell your arse but sprint like gold medalists? again just criticism!
