A bit back me and a few of my friends were playing in Berezino/NE airfield area. We loaded up on hundreds of rounds each and decided to go zombie killing. We each killed between 200-300 zombies and we only moved once and that was only because we didn't want to stay out in the open. Zombies would literally never stop coming if we didn't just leave. That's insane.

If this were the case there would be no reason to have a tent. There'd be no reason to go past the snatch and grab stage. Wouldn't shock me either if groups got a mule character to set up tents and then just log off and survive indefinitely.

I feel you're on the right track with side chat. I for one did much better as a solo player when side chat was an option, but it does seem a bit ridiculous given the feel of the game. I'm alone stranded on an island...and I can talk to anyone. Perhaps a solution to this would be a radio tranceiver with multiple public channels. It could be a residential drop about as common as binoculars. This would allow you to communicate with other players early on at great distances without being ridiculously outside the game's reality.

I packed a tent with med supplies and logged out. Next day I couldn't get on the server with my tent due to bugs. Decided to head into town on a different server. I ran into a zombie and shot him a few times with my PDW. He then slid through half the wall and hit me once breaking my bone. I lost my morphine to a bug and then broke my bone to another bug. Fun is.

Update: Turns out my hard drive was starting to fail and wouldn't recognize the updates. I got a new hard drive and everything is good. I'd also like to mention that when I launched DayZ on my new hard drive the game auto killed me. I was last logged out in the middle of nowhere and the chances of anyone having spotted me loading up are about a million to one. I didn't even get past where it shows you where you are and what day it is.

Check grocery stores. They almost always have knives or matches and often have alice packs and guns. Grocery stores are where it's at.

Turn off the 6 launcher once you've loaded the game.

If you're not going to help, please don't post. Obviously I know enough to check the websites and have done this already.

I've been playing DayZ for just over a month now and it's been a bit bumpy, but I've always been able to play. As of the latest patch this is no longer true. I get to 45% in the verification and then I get a pop-up with this message: Unhandled exception during Update Data error (cyclic redundancy check) Then after about a minute windows tells me that Arma 2 has stopped working. I've tried several different servers and I even uninstalled and reinstalled the latest 6 updater. I can still load Arma 2 just not DayZ. Nothing seems to work. Help with this would be much appreciated.

sometimes if you immediately remove items to make space for the weapon it will appear. You must do this before you close your gear though.

This happened to me as well while I was on the top florr of an apt. building. Lost a winchester w/ over 75 shells and an m1911 with 6 clips plus a water bottle, blood bag, morphine, epipen, and bandages.

Just like there are military zombies that carry military clips there can be "doctor" zombies in lab coats that randomly carry medical supplies or "police" zombies that carry sidearms and/or clips. Zombies could be outfitted in different clothes and carry different items dependant on what their previous profession was.

I died 4 times the first night I played and that was when you got a makarov to start off. Now you get nothing and zombies are more difficult to avoid. I now have a character on Day 12 with an m16/m203 an m1911 and an alice pack. I got better at the game and therefore the game got easier to me, but it is still harder than it was. One thing that's interesting to note though is the average life expectancy has risen to 46 minutes. It was 31 when I first started playing this game. However I'd say that's due to there being more experienced players currently tipping the scale forward. While it is true that hatchets and crowbars spawn pretty frequently and in large numbers it's still very difficult to find anything better than a winchester. It kind of has to be this way too. Running around without a way to defend yourself for longer than an hour can get tiresome and make the game dull. Also take into account the threat of already armed players. It would be more rewarding when you found something, but it would not make the game more fun. If you want an added challenge, don't gear up on the coast. Head straight to the military sights and take your chances.

No. Hunt animals or make friends. The system is fine.

"Plus I duped for the M24" You say in the video. Fuck you. Get off the game.
