Wanted to create a thread to discuss the actual issues with chat being finicky for many players and possible solutions. This is not the thread to say it is working/not working fine for you, unless you have a theory as to why please! Looking at the code it overrides the default action of the key while the displayEventHandler runs the function "dayz_spaceInterrupt", returning to the default action of the key as long as it is not "ForceCommandingMode". It does this many times a second, by creating a new instance of the function, probably at the rate the key is checked for the status of "keyDown". I'm thinking it could be doing this so rapidly that the key is never doing its default action as the players computer never catches up. Is there another way to get the desired effect of interrupting certain actions without this load, or maybe a way to slow it down? Maybe check once for each separate key? Has direct chat been tested without this? Is my theory complete bonkers? With the exposure this mod has gotten I assume there are some high caliber coders who could help with this.

:rolleyes:

Open up the filter, put 'dayz' in the mission field. Should only populate the DayZ servers then.

Zombies would be completely non-lethal if knockdown was removed. Right now the only way they can kill an experienced player is if they get a lucky shot in, without this they would be walking hug machines that make you eat food a little faster.

I could go for a tiered increase in knockdown, but I think it should start around a 3% at full blood and increase to 10% at say 4000 or less. I actually liked 10% knockdown better, sooo many more bodies covered in revolver ammo, painkillers, and morphine. I am not looking forwards to the Mak when I die. Plus after a few days of playing; Zombies become a non-issue unless you make a bad mistake.

Get starter equipment in a major city (then/or) head north, get better gear, keep looking for a tents/NVG, get shot after making a terrible decision, rinse, repeat. Current goal is to stay alive for as long as possible while getting some friends into this.

enter, enter, enter, enter, enter, enter...enter, enter, "YES! IN!" Me pretty much everyday this week.

Switches back at 1000(at least it did before). Backpack thing I thought was fixed, but who knows.

Then start a Sheriff group or something. Problem is finding those who are truly out there PKing and identifying him, as the bandito skin means nothing when you can get it from defending yourself from two noobies who started shooting.

Date/Time: Last 2 days at least to current What happened: Whenever I join a server it takes several minutes(around 5) for the light level to get set correctly. It is pitch black until this happens. If I leave and rejoin it resets to pitch black. Not a gradual fade in of light either, after a few minutes there will be light in an instant. A friend has had the same issue. Where you were: All servers What you were doing: Anything *Also other info such as: Version: X.23

The fact that people trust others when they say "friendly" astounds me. Do not trust anyone ever unless you know them. Hell, I'm surprised PKers haven't been doing this more. It becomes even more true the farther north you move where things seem to drop into shoot on sight cause that guy might have an AK/m16/lots of meat. Personally if I spot someone and they don't see me I move on. Most people seem to do the same, but some open fire at first sight. Do not trust words, your risk is your choice however. The more you have to lose, the less you will risk. Want an easy way to finda PKer? Announce that you are in a city up north and if anyone else is there, they come out of the woodwork.

If you are not getting a message I believe BattlEye(anti-cheat) would be the first place to look. I would re-install it and see if it helps. for non-steam You want the client version for windows. http://www.battleye.com/download.html For steam when launching OA there is an option to "Re-install battlEye anti-cheat".

Once it is blinking red it takes at least a few minutes before you start taking damage. I would assume you lose blood gradually, but I do not know.

When you hear flies and you know a ladder is nearby, always check it! On the original topic: I don't know if Arma's engine would allow this, maybe something along the lines of an 'AI' dummy taking over when a player logs off unless they go through some complex menus. For a few seconds of course, then the AI unit gets removed.

Then they are a lot better at programming than me! 5% coding, 95% cursing at a screen trying to get every variable in some kind of debug on an engine that was never really made for you to debug! Of course I also have no formal education in programming beyond Java I.

What server are you on, and have you tried other servers?

More info: it seems moving out the area where I loaded in makes the light change occur faster. Very dangerous for me to join a server at night as the only thing I can see is when I use a light source, as opposed to when the light loads and I can at least see the difference between objects like trees and sky. For now putting myself in a position where I just walk forward for a few hundred meters will probably work. I should have noted in the original post this is at night. The day seems fine, but could be doing this and is just less drastic. Edit: Why didn't I just edit the first post? :blush:

I can't remember where I read it, but ARMA 3 is supposed to have all buildings enterable.

Oh god, roving gangs of Schwinns terrorizing the streets of Cherno.

I actually like the really long night/day cycle, what I don't like about it is I'm pretty much stuck choosing play at night or play on a server 1/4+ of the world away. Is it possible to have a server running on a time offset? like say 12 hours off of what the servers real time is? About the food cycle: Food is so easy to come by, eating this much is pretty much no extra work. The only time I really find myself searching for food is blood reasons.

This will probably persist after you install arma 2, it comes from the path to the mod not being correct in the shortcut.

The grass in this is turned way the hell up, it can impact performance pretty hard. I'd monitor your cards temps and see if it's an issue, can be especially bad with a laptop.

Same here when I die. Hitting escape on the "You are dead" screen does not bring up options, I can however alt-f4, other windows commands to exit as well, and shift-tab into steam overlay. Nothing amiss on the processes screen either, just won't recognize escape. Server: US3 version: X.23 Specs: e7200@3.2ghz Nvidia 8800GTS 4gm ram Using the steam launcher running CO.

Have you possibly created a folder in both OA and Arma 2? I did this and was having the same problem. Somehow it is grabbing that old code, so the game probably is looking in a different folder than the one you updated.
