    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    Agreed but just log the day or night part and allow for more disconnects on night servers that dont punish you

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    Geez guys give the man a break. If i were rocket which im clearly not (im better looking :P), i wouldn't have even told you about the enabling login data. I would have just done it and collected the data and gone on my way. So will this update give me ... A heli everytime i spawn - NO All the best gear - NO All my gear back - NO Stop me Alt/F4ing - NO ... mores the pity Stop me Hacking - NO The ability to respawn every few seconds - NO It might actually fix the infected hearing and the clothing and a few other bits not announced yet. Guys and Girls Please get your heads around its an Alpha Testing Mod Every time we stub a toe or get killed in the mod he gets data from it, and from all this data comes a real game. Rocket has said before Most of the major problems CANT be fixed because its the limitation of the engine we use to play on (Arma 2) and they are not even going to try. Why waste the effort trying to code something that wont work because it still can be exploited All you need to do is stop whinging and get playing as soon as the update happens the more data he gets the better the game will be. But just do one thing. Report in a sensible concise fashion so they can find what they have broken and make it better again.
  3. I cant use Six doesn't work for me so i cant comment I start it with the beta shortcut which i copied to the desktop You presumably have steam running anyway so you should still be able to access it as i suggested Glad i could help Which worked for you so others can see the answer?

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    Thats why i suggested this http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/43951-logging-in-noise-to-cut-down-on-jumping-in-behind-players/
  5. Maybe try renaming the file BEClient.dll to BEClient.old which can be found here C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye. (assuming vista or above) Then open the game and let it update Or uninstall Battleye here C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Free\BattlEye Then open steam right click on game and choose reinstall BattlEye Hope that helps

    Is This DayZ Install Guide Reliable?

    Unfortunately Six doesn't work for me so i cant comment on that. I just had a look at the link you offered and it seems fine to me It has similar parts to mine so give it a try
  7. Added to the Dev Section, lets see what happens :P https://dev-heaven.net/issues/38363

    Is This DayZ Install Guide Reliable?

    This is mine for a Arma 2 Free / Steam Combo Install
  9. The "bell" was just an idea lol It could also be combined with a 20 second loss of ability to shoot a gun on a player load, which wouldnt bother anyone who logs in normally as who shoots a gun with 20 seconds of loading, i certainly dont The risk for them trying to get behind you would be too great and it would stop altogether

    too many hackers. need FF=OFF servers

    Id be in favour of FF off servers (but not all of them) Then if i fancy a bit of PvE i can just login and get on with it

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    This is exactly why Alt/F4 should be removed or kill you if you use it Any jumping out of the sheet to avoid a death should get you auto killed You are not here to keep your equipment if you get run over by a truck so be it .. take it like a man and start again.

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    There is nothing challenging about having a stash of stuff ready to go and your m8s picking you up in a truck either.

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    It is very annoying though but seriously is he really going to change the doorways in the mod, i think its a full game issue wider doors
  14. Chimaera

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.4

    + a 20 sec disconnect wait if they have fired a gun in the last 10 secs So we can run over and shoot them in the head.... Just kidding... well maybe. Thanks for the info on the update, its amazing how a few words generate panic :P You keep changing it m8 we will keep trying to break it. Keep up the good work One request put something in that makes servers get on the same version Arma Beta patches as each other and get their $hit together plz
  15. Some more passworded servers
  16. Chimaera

    An hour to find working server...

    Im not trying to be obvious but.. Pick servers near you and check you have the proper Arma 2 Beta version. I tried quite a few before i settled on three servers that are usual fine for me If you have incorrect versions it will stop you loading and playing
  17. Chimaera

    Why do you people do these things?

    They do it because they can and they aren't man enough to go against real players with a chance of killing them back. (they would probably Alt/F4 if it happened anyway) Its fun for them because there is no risk
  18. You just ned to change the death message to Player was killed by Player Name I would imagine it would be quite popular
  19. Personally , i love playing this alpha, we might be just "testing" but it feels just like a game when you are testing, and i have never ever come across an alpha that feels as real as this does. Its immersive, challenging, tense, dangerous, problematical and a myriad of other things but overall its FUN! Yes its not without its bad points, from the loading screen times, menus, gameplay, zombies and many other things. It stirs very strong feelings from many who defend and praise it to the equally strong resistance of the ones that moan and whinge and chuck their toys out of the pram. So just once i would like to say thanks ... For the best £15 Ive spent in a long time to get this free mod to work, for the effort of Rocket and the Devs and many others at BI who we never see, also to the server owners who keep this game alive and the people who help on the forums. And even to the players who are a mixed bunch of good and bad, Ive helped and killed my way through many hours of life and death where Ive tried to play the game for what it is. And i have rediscovered the fun in team based play (although im way to serious about it) :P Its been a blast so far long may it continue Thanks...
  20. I think at the minute they are trying to solve some of the fps and loading issues which have returned since 1.7.2. rocket wants to be able to get to 100 and 200 person if possible servers, and they are probably trying to optimize to make it happen
  21. Chimaera

    I don't know what to do.

    Packs and to some degree ammo are in the apartments in Cherno as well as many other things, take a chance and get out there and explore
  22. Chimaera

    DayZ Standalone confirmed??

    The assumption you are making there is that its not possible or very diffucult to move up to Arma3 rocket has already statted somewhere he has had DayZ running on 3 I would imagine the base code would be similar in quite a few ways so moving forward to Arma 3 may not be as diffucult as you think.
  23. Me and my m8 were driving around in a truck the other day and we came belting out of a wood and some dude was in the field below. Rather than let him get the jump on us and shoot us i drove at him and ran him down and killed him But I didnt get a murder for it !!! WTF Best roadkill Ive done and no murder ... Ah well always another day .. :P ps: @ rocket can you add kills from vehicles plz lol
  24. No problem glad i could help Ive also managed to get this working in a rollback from 95208 which is no 1.62 back to 95099 which is 1.61 and it still works
  25. Chimaera

    Grrr I didnt get my murder....

    Im sure they do something for the future hopefully :P No he didnt Alt F4 so fair play to him, as i looted him afterwards
