Please search before posting a new thread :) http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2494 Here it is all explained.

It does. It's simply too many people trying to connect in EU during EU peak hours, and then the same situation in US during US peak hours.

Did you go a little bit too far? The Chernarus is "only" 220 or so sq.km, but once you left the boundary of the real world terrain, procedurally generated terrain starts to kick in to N and W sides (E and S is just the sea). Maybe you crossed the line into "hic sunt leones" land of nobody ;-) ? (especially if you spawned on the NE coast, running to the N would take you into the procedural land in about 30-60minutes running...). Just go back ;-) Or you might be lucky and find an oasis or something :) Nope...

Ah yes, ok then, I misunderstood your question :)

Well, [cough cough], you should have the download link from the respectable online store you bought it from. You did buy it at a respectable online store, did you? ;) Direct quote from Arma forums: Did you buy your ArmA2 key from a CD Key reseller? None of the CD Key/Serial resellers we know about have obtained a proper license. The origin of their CD Keys is unknown, but we do know about numerous occasions when they sell banned / disabled CD Keys so you will not be able to play the game online at all. Please note that not only is buying CD Keys from these CD Key resellers risky and usually there’s no kind of guarantee, but also Bohemia Interactive is unlikely to get any royalty from these places for the sales. These CD Keys also in no way include a license to the game itself and CD Key resellers are expecting you to pay a considerable amount of money (you can often get similarly priced deals for the full game package) but they also do not provide any type of guarantee. We can only recommend people buy the game online from respectable sources, like Steam, Sprocket, Direct2Drive, Impulse Driven or Metaboli , or of course a boxed DVD version. Of course, if you did buy the game and not just a resold key, and feel you have a proper license, you should contact the store you brought it from, or BI to clear it up. Proper online stores do provide you a download link...

Think about it. Look at the icons. Do the maths ;) Player = You Character = Your character who can die ingame Avg deaths = average number of characters a player has been through Makes sense, no? At least I assume it works like this ;) Every Arma 2 game is tied to one GUID (CD key). Yours, the player's, character is tied to the GUID of your game. That's why you can play with the same character across servers until he dies. That's how the humanity system works, tied to the GUID. That's how the known hackers are banned forever (at least their copy of the game, unless they get a new one) So basically it's the amount of unique Arma 2 licenses that played DayZ at least once. /edit: Ninja'ed by JordNZ :) //edit2: Name change (you can rename your character ingame) doesn't change your GUID.

Bring out the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch! As for the rabbits... http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1294 :)

Also, IIRC you should run both Arma 2 (original) and the DLCs once at first, so they register properly into the windows registry. I am not sure about it but it used to be that way with Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead if you bought them separately (and wanted them together like Combined Ops), and could be the case with steam as well.

People! :facepalm: SEARCH before you post please. There are already AT LEAST TWO threads in Suggestions about this. And yours didn't add anything new. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=18&highlight=day+night http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1418&highlight=day+night If you bothered to read them, you would see Adam mention there are currently no plans for changing the 12/12 cycle.

Dyslexi's guide is great, yes :) And tutorials should be mandatory, but it would take the joy of seeing five people asking in side chat "how do I use flares" ;-) About the server names, that's just caused by the servers being full at peak times, and even I just spam enter on any first random server I see got few openings, it gets easy to confuse the server names then. Especially as you can't see servername ingame. Although you can always look it up through gamespy searching for your character I think.

It's been done already http://takeonthegame.com/zombies/ ;-)

This has been discussed already in several threads. Please post in the relevant threads not start a new one everytime an idea crosses your mind.

Thanks. I read that' date=' but still can't get them to work in woody areas clearing. Perhaps the ground is not level enough. That might connected with something Rocket (IIRC) wrote, when server admin restarts the connecting application to central server (when it's hung) but not the server itself, or something like that. Vis the Loot not spawning thread.

What's the amount of space needed to pitch a tent? Even in the middle of a forest clearing I couldn't really make it work. Or was the land not level enough? Similar for fires, the placement is too restrictive... I mean almost only place I could make a fire was in the middle of a runway... which is not good for concealment ;-)

:D Dying in N town in general store, when I couldn't turn fast enough when zombies got me through walls, with 4 bloodpacks & all goodies except NVG. Respawn near Balota, getting a lucky sneaking find of AK74 Kobra at the airfield, running for 2 hours sneakily all the way back across the map navigating by stars and moon (I play Chernarus a lot in Arma2) to find my corpse (still intact!), loot my corpse only to instantly loose my suppressed handgun AND the AK74 Kobra AND 4 mags for it because of inventory bug (my mistake)...leaving me with 1 shot makarov in a town full of zombies :)

I think AA12 - especially with a drum of 30 HE shells - would be too unbalancing...Even in OA it's more like a rapid fire grenade launcher, if you are good with estimating your aim you can take out helicopters with it easily...

Yes! If only Rocket added an ACE version of DayZ, we wouldn't have to say in global chat again and again "go play Arma2 Tutorial first please"...:) Also thank you, with the huge influx of people from all over the internets this forums IMNSHO need every bit of moderation they can get. I think a system like in official bistudio forums would be nice, where your few first posts ever need to be approved before they appear, along with strict "Search before you post" policy. Although I don't know if the mods have got the manpower for that :)

Yes! Skin all the bandits alive! And then roll them in tar and feathers! although that's probably not what you meant ;-)

Not easily I think. It would be possible to mod A2OA units, though. Like people had been doing in Arma2 for some time (Lingor,etc). But keep in mind this mod is still in Alpha stage, and I am sure Rocket has some more important things gameplay-wise to sort out first. I do think he intended the bandit model as temporary.

When you install the beta, it will create a shortcut to run Arma 2 OA Beta inside your Arma 2 install directory. You can open its properties and see the exact exe parameters. Best would be just to drag this shortcut to Desktop and add @dayz to the modline. Dunno about Steam though. Also, in recent Betas the modline was split into two parts, one for Beta patch loading, second for Mod loading. It keeps the ingame Expansion menu working with Beta patches, meaning you can enable/disable mods ingame (nice when you play Arma2's other mods/maps not only @DayZ) The complete line would be then: -beta=(the stuff from beta) -mod=@dayz (plus optional parameters like -nosplash etc) or just -beta=(...) -nosplash if you want to use ingame expansion menu to enable mods. Obviously, this is supported only by 1.61 betas, not 1.6 retail
