What Applejaxc said, always does the trick.

What you could do is view a Network Monitor on your PC and see if there are incoming and outgoing packets for data push/pull with DayZ. Then report that issue on the DayZ Bug Tracker with your Network Analysis logs, including PC Dump Files and DayZ RPT File.

So why exactly are you shooting him for knocking your guy out? Is he dead regardless? Are you just being typical bandits?

Wouldn't be sure, every character I've had has been equipped within 30 minutes to 1 hour. Great environment, but there definitely needs to be a decrease in weaponry.

Put it in to your quick slots and press the corresponding number --Edit-- There are different types of maps, if you find "E Map of Chernarus" then you only need to find a "W map of Chernarus" and combine them, otherwise if you find let's say "NW Map of Chernarus" then you need to find NE, SW & SE to combine and create one over-all map that you open by hot linking to your quick slots. For example, NW will combine with NE, SW combines with SE to make N and S, then combine both, or E and W...

Excellent first post, here's the link to your friend also; In-game names are the same as Steam names ;) http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198005723752 Don't consider yourself a bandit or a KoS' either, you're one of the good guys ;) I consider myself and my group to be bandit hunters, defending ourselves against those who shoot first. I just need to get the right structure and communications going for tactical gameplay, before we move down Balota with snipers and ground troops to clear out all the bandits and help the fresh spawns. I hope you don't mind if I add you on steam.

So what exactly is going on here? One of you say that the entities are not hacked in, yet there's only five (roughly) players in the server which leaves no other AI?

Never knew that worked, we usually just eat it raw and chug water, no time to stop in this crazy world :P P.S; "(I am NOT DevilDog from youtube. Sorry folks)", thank god for that; that youtube guy is an idiot!

Prepare yourselves, here come the "WHERE DID YOU GET NVG'S?!" posts. Nice pictures though.

I was in a group of 9 while ago at the airfield, we heard shots snap by so we thought we had encountered another group that were shooting at us.. One f***ing guy on his own with an M4 and large backpack, trying to take on a group of 9 that were in formation and spread out. Back to call of duty for that idiotic little KoS kiddy.

TRUST NOBODY!

Real Virtuality engine has some nice features, it has nice maps, nice bullet physics (ArmA 2, DayZ SA Accuracy is absolutely crap). The Real Virtuality has absolutely crap rendering; every game developed by Bohemia Interactive on that engine has severe performance issues. ArmA 3 was a huge disappointment, I didn't even know that it went from Alpha to Full Release, there is 10% of the content that ArmA 2 contains. DayZ Standalone is indeed Alpha, but I highly doubt that the bugs from ArmA 2, ArmA 3, including the performance issues; will ever be fixed. Some game bugs might be fixed (hopefully) such as the ridiculous accuracy that is almost never on point after 100 meters with the M4, and 700 meters with the Mosin. It would have been very nice to see this game developed on lets say, Cry Engine 3. Real Virtuality is very immersive however, that's the best thing about it. Hideous engine, but good immersion and environment.

Update your computer drivers. What the hell is going on with the Permanent "weapon change" bug animation people see when you take out your compass? My bullets don't even register on other players because somebody might see me doing that animation where I see myself aiming normally. Instead the game throws off my shots because it thinks that my gun is on my back.

It's touched with photoshop.

For each day of this week, I've had completely different people in a group. If we all get together, we will be about 30 people running through Balota clearing out all of the bandits :P

Is it a troll-like response because you don't like what I said? Sorry, but that doesn't make something "troll-like". If you are trying to be more "open-minded" than anything I posted, you may as well just accept that KoS is a part of this game and will never be gone; I hate to say it, but it's true. I've been alive in game for a week, very rarely see players because I'm always in-land, it does get boring when there are no fire-fights happening, no ambushes going on; it's natural and now I find it more enjoyable than anything else. That said, I refuse to kill fresh spawns, I only do it fairly; I only apprehend, engage or kill players with weapons that will either try to shoot me first and miss, or that has me in sight with their weapon raised. Alas, here comes the closed-minded part from me; this is the hundredth KoS thread, nobody cares anymore; please stop making these.

I did not know that.. I'll wait until there's any type of brightness enhancers because I find night time servers kind of useless unless I adjust my brightness fully, gamma 3/4 full, shadows off and clouds off; other than that, I can switch off my room light and play with the monitor being the only source of light. OR, I could just purchase my own night vision and sit in front of my monitor whilst wearing them, don't think that would work though... :P

For now I just play in daytime servers until night vision is implemented. But in the day time, black blends in well in buildings with shadows or without, it also blends in quite a bit with the dirt on the floor. I wear a black bandana and it does good by me as it covers the top half of my head which is most noticeable when prone or scouting.

Right now there are way too many guns, I can be fully geared up in clothes and guns in 30 minutes if I am killed.

Agreed, My character wears all black tactical clothing with bulletproof vest, it would be great to see a black Kevlar helmet and a black backpack, such as the large Coyote Backpack from ArmA 2, painted black.

People are using the "Alpha" excuse for everything they dislike. I'll tell it how it is; Sidechat is gone and not coming back, it is better that way because it is now more immersive. The "Kill On Sight" mentality (I first complained about it, now I understand it) is solely based off the fact that the person is paranoid of you killing them and taking their gear, simple resolution; stop posting threads of how to "Fix" it (If it's not broken, don't fix it), instead develop your own mentality. For example, if a player has a gun then I WILL kill on sight, unless of course I can get an advantage over that person such as sneaking behind them, or if they do not have their primary weapon equipped, something that forces them to co-operate and leaves no other choice (What the hell is up with most of you, when I and my group shout in Direct Comms in English and sometimes the German guys shout in German, 80% of players I've seen so far have the mentality of "If I pretend I'm deaf and run away, maybe they won't shoot me for not co-operating") . If the player has fists or a fire axe, I will drop food and water, maybe even a weapon and ammo for that person if they decide to join Team-speak and join my group on our runs to military camps. Those of you complaining about how global chat is gone, and how you can no longer see players names when you aim at them; you are not true fans or even players of this as far as I care, you're just looking for the game to be dumped down because you can't survive long enough, or because you fall for the same mistake all the time of trusting people to come within punching or swinging distance of you, or you run head on to people with guns; hoping they don't shoot. This game is what it is, it's an immersive game developed on an engine that is intended for simulation purposes; constantly giving "Alpha" as an answer is not viable either, being an Alpha has absolutely nothing to do with having no Global or Side chat or even people that Kill On Sight.

It's kind of an issue with me, because I'm always the guy with medic supplies in my group. If somebody is injured, they come straight to me and I have Vitamins, Antibiotics, Saline Bags, Empty Blood Bags to store their blood in, in case they need blood afterwards etc. I guess I could find dozens of yellow cases, medkits and 300 round ammo boxes then fill them up with stuff, hotlink the items and put them in a hunting backpack. Pretty cool and for 20 backpack slots, you would get 30 Case/Medkit slots.

I recently learned that one of the people in our group was in North West banditing, The rest of my group and me began heading north to kill our bandit group member (We kill Bandits and those who attempt to shoot us, self defence and what not; we help the players without guns). Turns out the guy he had on the roof of the firestation also had a friend nearby who hid at the left part of the firestation by the green door. Me and my group were pinned in the command tower whilst one was killed already, I scouted the stairs and took a few shots at the guy trying to save his buddy from my group members bandit antics and there was no more movement; I moved around his flank and saw no trace. Our bandit buddy was on the top of the firestation, rooftop, he saw no movement; The guy he had cuffed had logged just then too after I shot near his friend (Presumably they realized they were both surrounded by a large group in the command tower, and outside with sniper rifles scouting the airfield) Both combat loggers are skyler.rickert & Skully - xmas n' Stuff Verified with recent players, video footage coming soon as it was quite a good moment ;) Of course it wasn't fair that skyler.rickert was handcuffed and pretty much being used for nothing, to waste his time and what not, our original intentions were to kill our bandit group member and help the guy that he had cuffed by leaving him leave the airfield with all of his gear; we would spare his life if he didn't attempt to shoot us when he left, things didn't go as planned --Update-- Video footage of the light pin-down.

I'm just curious as to what exactly you think happens for the 2 years prior? Does the game magically appear, developed, in alpha state?
