You don't lose your account according to the VAC description.

People who hack are dicks. Pretty simple

Means your a dick

No, what you want to play is a game called ARMA 2. I have a surprise for you.... it's installed on your computer right now!!!!

Other then the usual complaints about Steam that everyone's heard a million times before, The big problem I have with having to use Steam for DayZ is that I'll be forced to install it on my SSD because the RV engine performs 100x better on one but I don't need an SSD for the very few Steam games that I have. I use a standard HD for regular games that don't have issues with texture popping, LOD switching...etc on the slower drives. My precious SSD space is reserved exclusively for games like Arma 2, Take On Helicopters, Crysis 1 and others that stream a large amount of data off the drive. Far as I know, with Steam it's all or nothing, yes you can change the location of the games but they all got to go to the new location. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that.

It's already possible using Arrowhead.... Randomly generated towns at least. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fejbMOWTwW0 There's a game called Arma 2 on your computer....give a try sometime. And this: http://www.armaholic.com http://www.armaholic..._addons_islands http://www.armaholic..._addons_islands All the "New" maps you guys are playing.....they ain't new, we've been playing them in Arma 2 for years. .

Steam.......ugh

Any estimates on when the next "When will standalone be released?" post will be made?

Manual install/patching is actually easier and faster if you take time to learn how to do it.

DayZ links work fine for me Arma2 site is not loading though. According to http://www.downforev...neorjustme.com/ it's down. http://downforme.org says it's up, but that could be because they only check to see if sites respond to pings, no checks to see if the page actually loads.

The church is also the best place to find empty liqour bottles to throw and distract zombies. Go figure.

Even better, learn how to do it manually. Beta patches are here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Latest version is at the top in the green bar. - Unzip - Run the EXE Beta patch will install.... click OK when it's done.. Patching installing mods/addons for Arma is actually faster and less muss and fuss then using third party apps and once you know how it's done, life is a whole lot easier.

You can't run uphill all the time depending on the steepness of the hill. Zigzagging your way up a hill is a way to get around it.

I wouldn't advise clicking that link... It's spam and...Russian...nuff said.

What GPU? How old is it? Have you tried: - Rechecking the Steam files.... corruption can occur from a freeze, crash...HD write errors...etc. - Unistall/Reinstall/update your video drivers - Check your GPU temperatures If they are high blow out the fan and heatsink on the card with compressed air and try replacing the thermal paste [Youtube videos show you how to do this] It looks more like a corrupt video driver or Arma 2 files problem then heat though.

Post a screenshot.... Heating issues with your GPU maybe?

I'm sure some talented people can put together a cover and DVD label that we can print out. But given that DayZ is going to be work in progress for a long time it's douptful a hard copy will be available. DVD labels for printers and DVD cases are easy to get. There's also inkjet printers that print on printable discs.

Yes it's normal. It's a lot better then it was when Arma 2 came out in 2009 thanks to Bohemia's continued patching. Defragging will help and switching to an SSD will improve things also, An SSD won't help with FPS but it will greatly reduce texture popping and micro-stutter. Free Defrager here: http://www.piriform.com/defraggler There are 3 years worth of posts dealing with performance issues and tweaks on the official Arma 2 forum. http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?83-ARMA-2-amp-OA-TROUBLESHOOTING

Intel HD Graphics <<<<< - Thats the reason for the poor performance. Buying the full game could go both ways and there's no real way to know until you actually try it. The FREE version uses low-res textures so the hit on the GPU is much lower The FULL version uses higher res textures so the GPU will take a hit BUT at the same time you'll have access to the latest patches which have improved perfomance of Arma 2 by huge margins since it was released back in 2009. If you're serious about playing games like Arma/DayZ you should seriously consider investing in a desktop PC.

I was wrong, sorry about that. SA will be released in 5 hours, 12 minutes and 46 seconds.

In 5 minutes and 31 seconds

Already being discussed here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/56-technologyprogramming

It can play games, but pretty much only old games and console ports.

Did you apply the 1.60 and 1.62 patches after you installed?

Save some more cash and get a dedicated card, intergrated Graphics.........not good.
