Switching scope modes is sometimes glitchy. That's a long standing ARMA bug. You can get thermal vision with range finder or AS50 for example, or clear optical vision on L85A2 AWS. I'm not sure if this is repeatable, but if yes this is game-breaking. I've got this a couple times.

There should be no high grade weapons in standalone
spacecaps replied to TheMachine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
As a Russian resident I can assure you that possessing a gun in Russia or Ukraine is a real pain in the ass (just like in Europe in general), so most people don't have one, unlike the people in Middle East or Noth Africa. Massive amounts of civil weapons can be there only as a result of VERY continuous civil war (maybe a decade?)... possibly. But judging by the landscape, Chernarus is very obvoiusly inspired by Crimea or Moldova, that's not so far from current or potential flashpoints, so who knows. -
Only FN FAL's past 3 helicopter crashes?
spacecaps replied to grimsonfart's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This must have something to do with ARMA's PRNG. It does act weird sometimes, you can get all FALs, or all AS50s, or empty helicrashes in a row for several hours. -
Could high bandwidth be caused from ESP users
spacecaps replied to lookin4pain's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Player latency or bandwidth doesn't have anything to do with possible ESP. There's no mechanism for hiding distant objects from clients in ARMA, all players can see anything at any time. ARMA is a military simulator, and there are some very far-reaching weapons in the original game, so that's completely necessary. By the way, such mechanism could be really useful in DayZ for partially blocking maphacks. -
This new camping tactic that might screw everyone over.
spacecaps replied to smore98's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
This new tactic is about several months old, actually. Additionaly, this makes you invisible for thermal sights. And a lot of players are hiding tents in lakes and rocks, be sure to always check them carefully. I've even seen a tent camp in the sea once. There's also a bug that allows you to hide inside any building undetected (you need a car or a bike for this). Another tactic is hiding tents in ruins, namely Kumyrna church and some others. But this doesn't matter much since there are a lot of douchebags with map hacks these days, and this is not going to change soon. -
Don't buy one. There are MUCH more servers already than is needed, and most of them are underpopulated. DayZ is much less fun to play with less than 40-50 players on the map.

helicopters spawning in forests? or hacking?
spacecaps replied to EverGlass's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Be sure to turn the pbo signature verification on, this might be the cause of what you've seen. -
Some admins have an alternative solution, auto-announcing coordinates of people with hacked items in a global channel, so other players could hunt them down or just stay away.

I totally believe that a guy with AS50 on Kolgaz factory in a wookie suit with -64K humanity is sniping bandits! In fact, I'm often doing it too. Not a single bandit is coming out of Cherno alive when I'm on the factory. Especially those newly spawned bastards. Hold on, there's some bandit checking the store, I have to Alt-TAB and kill him. Death to bandits!
-
Yeah, right.
-
Yes you killed him, he pressed Alt+F4 quickly after death and his body disappeared. That's a long standing bug.
-
They are disconnecting quickly enough for their corpses to disappear. That's an old bug. Some servers treat this as a bannable exploit, so feel free to post the video in cheat reporting section, or show it to administrators.

Because Russians are half of game's population, and most of us can't speak English, or can't speak it well enough. There are a lot of Russians in English part of the forums though, so that doesn't feel like cold war, no. /thread

Best DayZ singleplayer alternative game?
spacecaps replied to schaine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
No, no, I wouldn't call it frustrating of course (I played it back in the days, and it was the state of the art). I mean it's addictive as hell. -
Best DayZ singleplayer alternative game?
spacecaps replied to schaine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Damn, it seems STALKER is almost like Deus Ex for me: every time you mention it... etc This game is ultimately annoying and addictive at the same time. PC gaming at its best. -
Best DayZ singleplayer alternative game?
spacecaps replied to schaine's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Call of Pripyat of course. Shadow of Chernobyl (original one) is also very nice. Clear Sky is worse than both, but worth a try if you're a fan. Also, there are LOTS of hardcore mods for STALKER, be sure to check them out after beating all three. -
Gloabaly Banned for running Fraps
spacecaps replied to Trakz (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
They don't ban for FRAPS. I've been kicked for running PlayClaw a couple times, but never got banned. -
How do you run with a broken leg? edit: nvm
-
So. i turned into a Goat (Hackers?) or bug?
spacecaps replied to Karneval's topic in DayZ Mod Gallery
You seem happy! -
BattleEye is shit. Bring on Punkbuster/Admin bans
spacecaps replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
All anticheat systems are shit. Usability or security, you can't choose both. -
RAMDISK EASY SETUP By Rapptor13 Six Launcher
spacecaps replied to rapptor13's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
No need for RAM disk, just use any third-party cache like FancyCache, Supercache, eBoostr etc, they are much easier to setup and more efficient than ramdisk. (I recommend FancyCache). Wrong, fixing non-existent problems with it is bullshit. It isn't a silver bullet, but some people are really io-bound. -
Are Choppers In The Game?
spacecaps replied to giannithebest1's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Only first 50 DayZ servers (old ones) do have choppers, others don't. -
Some glitch probably. Back when placing a tent was nearly impossible, we found 4 overlapping tents placed on a 45-degree slope.

pve server kicking all non clan members
spacecaps replied to Zealot (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Do you copy? Over. What the hell are you talking about? Did you even read the hosting rules? http://dayzmod.com/f...r-read-in-here/ It's written in CAPS, and keeping the server public is the main point of running one. -
NO! HERE BOMB! FUCK U!
