Coop (DayZ)

Uhh...re-read what Strum wrote. I'll paraphrase: With the debug monitor turned on, your status indicators (thirst, blood, hunger) will not update. You just confirmed he was correct.

Wish I had thought of that (or read it yesterday) - I was stuck in a seated position half-way up my chest in the ground due to changing clothing while seated in a bus (pro tip: don't do that). Had to let myself starve/dehydrate to death 'cause I could not move or stand.

Unplayable. I'll be back when one can survive from scratch for more than 5 minutes. Laying in some reeds, motionless, spotted by a zed from 10 meters. Ya, loads of fun.

I second oxy's question....any fix for the non-Steam retail standalone version?

Similar situation for me....not sure where I was exactly, but I had a bandit hot on my trail trying to pick me off - I was running and zig-zagging like a fool, not getting hit. Anyway, with all this running I attracted several zombies. Being intent on turning the tables on this bandit, I said to heck with the Z's, they can have me as long as I take the bandit with me, so I dove to the ground and started returning fire on the bandit, all the while the Z's beating the crap out of me. I bled and my legs broke, but I never lost consciousness, nor did I in-game "panic". I finally got the bandit then turned my attention to the Z's and finished them off. After my heart-rate returned to normal (IRL), I noticed my blood level was ~ -5K. I took some pain killers and morphine and, apart from the low blood, was just fine. Shortly thereafter (about 5 minutes), I timed out, and when I came back in to the game, I had everything on me that I had PRIOR to the bandit fight, ~ 9K blood, and no bandit kill credit. Weird.

Could you provide details? Checking the games cache - how? What file was missing? What did you do to replace it?
