I usually hang out near the coast and shoot the newbies. Some of the the time, they scream I'm a fucking asshole through the voice communications channel. I agree. I am glad you don't agree with me!

All people I encounter are either retards or bandits. Who wants to team up with people behaving like fucks towards you, when you invite them to be friends. E.g. four last people I encountered: Sitting on the hillside at the beach a bit east of Kamenka. Suddenly two guys comes running at the beach, gets into the lighthouse, one jumps off and dies and the other guy just stands there. I walk up and ask if he's all right and if he needs anything. He climbs down after 2 min of just standing there looking at me and starts to run around in circles around the lighthouse. I back off and he continues. Later he climbs up the hill and starts running north with no apparent goal. I take some of my time and stalk him from a distance, and he logs off (he probably didn't even see me stalking him). Sitting on the hillside again, suddenly a guy comes from the west from the woods, and I quickly spot him. I greet him and he runs behind a tree. I ask him what he wants and he starts to giggle through the voice communications channel... We stand there one minute and he runs off east again... I do not follow him, because I'm scared he hid behind the tree just to delay me so that his friends could come and murder me. I run off north west. It's night in Stary Sobor and I have no NVG's. I looted the tents and when I try to light a fire, suddenly I hear a *WOOOSH* .... *BANG* (M107). As I'm in the process of lighting a fire, I can't run. Strangely I hear no more shots at me, I managed to abort the lighting process and ran inside a tent, throw a flare, and stay there for 5 minutes. Later I run to the nearby mall (with a blue chemlight to see) and I get aggro'd zombies on my tail. I run inside and as I am about to enter I see someone looting in there. I can't stop since I have zombies on me so I just yell "DON'T FIRE, DON'T FIRE, DON'T FIRE", runs inside and the guy turns towards me and attemts to kill me with his Winchester. I run around him until I realize he's going to kill me and I unload a full AKM mag into him. (he was not the sniper)

When it's red?

But when he dies, his health stays at 12000? Definitely a hacker.

:emptycan: :facepalm:

When you clicked the "Respawn" button, and respawned again by rejoining the game, I thought your body disappeared and the foe didn't get the loot? Or has that been fixed now?

Was night and I was chased by a zombie in Stary Sobor into the mall, where a guy was looting. I yelled "don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot!" but he screamed in the microphone something I couldn't hear but like "eaageeeraea" and fired 3 shots with his Winchester at me, only 1 shot hit me though as I was running around him, not trying to get hit. I immediately realized he would kill me so I got behind the desk and sprayed a whole AKM mag into him. The debug monitor registered a bandit kill! :ph34r: :bandit:

DayZ is a simulator mod... What is the end of the zombie survivor simulator? Death of course... What is the goal? Survival of course... If you expect something more other than what the mod has to offer you, perhaps you should play another simulator/game. The mod offers enough goals as it is and should not have additional post-elite goals. Also, you're probably one of those who cry out loud when you get killed after several weeks or so. That is really pathetic; think of it as an achievement instead. There aren't many who survive for that long. Just look at the average life expectancy: "46 minutes".

Very nice and intuitive tool! But I'll stick with my mil-dots, thanks.

FFS!!! Just shoot them, stop complaining. People who expect to play a difficult multiplayer zombie survival simulator with rare equipment almost nowhere to be seen, without being able to talk, are handicapped players and should be shot to relieve the rest of us. You know it's true and start acting like so!

What version DayZ/ArmA-beta do you use, and what did the server use?

Looks to me he didn't die. Just hacked his body away. Otherwise your debug monitor would have registered a kill, which it did not... :facepalm:

Some days ago I was in a server with 2 other people, and way up north in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly a truck comes driving and parks in the treeline, next to me in the forest. I guess I shouldn't have disconnected and let the hacker kill me...

I get that as well, if I wait a bit it usually appears. IF it doesn't I look for another server. I think it's -mod=@dayz

Oh god, why am I reading this!? I am supposed to go to bed now!!! :unsure:

Hehe, I practically touched the zombies at night and ran past them, firing unsilenced bullets but the zombies were acting like they are really the walking dead, lol.

Green mountain is too scary man! It's too quiet for such an attractive and huge tower. Protip if you dare to enter. If you find a Mountain Dew.... RUN, and do NOT look back!!! :bandit: Some week ago I stood in the treeline, overlooking the entrance, at early morning, not yet light outside. Suddenly(I did not hear or notice them prior) two survivors run inside coming out with a damn red military flashlight on, screaming "aaaaah" being chased by zombies. I disconnected immediately. :o

Are you sure you are running the beta as well? If you come from the SU-culture you need to be advised that you have to manually replace the game executable with the beta executable. Go to http://www.battleye.com/download.html and download the new v1.61.94945+ BE Client & Server files for Windows and replace them with the old ones to update BattlEye to v1.163.

I installed the new BattlEye version manually and updated manually to 94997, joined 94997 servers and everything has worked flawlessly. Played for 5 hours or so, logged in and out, used my backpack, switched weapons, looted a downed helo (found a really nice loot :D), found a bike and drove down-hill at 80 mph B). And whatsmore I NEVER ENCOUNTERED A SINGLE BUG! Wow, I have NEVER experienced that in DayZ!!! Good job everyone! :murder: This needs celebrating! :beans: By the way, the loading time has decreased drastically. Might be because of the near-empty servers but it's now close to like 15 seconds every time!

I know why now. The automated installer linked in the first post installs BattlEye Client v1.162, while the latest is v1.163. A manual install from http://www.battleye.com/download.html will install v1.163, the latest version. I am not sure which version to use, but I guess it's the latest version.

Ok, so I ran the installer and verified the md5sums. The http://www.battleye.com/download.html says the md5sums are as follows: However, after running the installer, my md5sums were: So somehow, the BEClient.dll installed by the installer and the file available for manual install at the website are not of the same version. Which one do I use?

Does the need to manually update BattleEye apply to both clients and servers? (Through installer or manually)

Very odd! I believe I have had the same problem as well. When I logged out, it was early morning. I logged back in 5 min later, and it was late evening and almost pitch black! I didn't switch server.

1.7.2.3/94876 It seems like there is a major problem with saving items in backpacks. Yesterday, I lost a new M107, and just now, an AS50. Both times they were in my backpack, after logging out & in, they just disappeared. My ammo was still there. When I logged in again, my backpack had 8 free slots, because the 10-slot sniper rifle had disappeared, and I had received two other items which I had dropped more than 1 hour before when I had placed the sniper rifle in the backpack. I also lost all of my AKM magazines when I moved my AKM to my backpack (10/20 --> 0/0). My AKM moved fine, but it somehow took the magazines with it, into the void.... This all happened on different servers.

I am not a server operator, but I am very curious since I've read that kicking people (e.g. AFK) to make room for others is not acceptable. WHY? Personally, I do actually sometimes play on a server, and then disconnect to the briefing screen, and stay there for hours, coming back in, let's say ca 3 hours later. Should I be kicked? Yes. Do I want to be kicked? It doesn't matter; if the administrator makes the choice to kick me to free up a slot, then I'm OK with that. Why do I AFK in the briefing screen? Because it reserves me a slot, and I escape the hell of server browsing which takes me around 2-5 min every time, ofc... I can't be the only one AFK:ing in the briefing screen? Just asking this to clarify this illogically solved issue... Sure, I agree that kicking non-AFK players is wrong, but what about AFK players?
