Mattolio (DayZ)

I have latest everything, followed the instructions and still have a black loading screen for 20 mins. I'm on 1.7.2.5 and 95883. Six Launcher appears to be completely knackered - showing the server as 1.7.2.4 and Beta 95660 even though I know it isn't (I updated the server files myself). Then, going in through steam and filtering to the server says I need 1.62.95883 ???

Get me a fix for: * All my items vanishing from my tent when the server restarts * All my vehicles vanishing when the server restarts And i'll be playing the game again.

Server is fine - I'm admin on it and double checked. Seems to just be some sort of bug. To date, I'm unable to loot anything other than cows and rabbits for meat and thats if the animal doesn't vanish when I get to it (whilst its still alive).

Its defo still happening for me - as well as all the items in my tents vanishing with a server restart. Ugh.

It seems that regardless of the server you play on, the admins restart without any prior warning to the players with the results being obvious. To all you admins out there, at least give us a heads up before you decide to restart the god damn server :@

So, I now run my own server - mainly out of sheer frustration at how some of you admins went about your thing and I am yet to experience any glitches, server hangs, restarts outside of my control or anything similar. Perhaps I'm lucky? I think I've been on one too many servers run by admins who simply do not care for their 'free loading' players and sit there, finger poised over the kick button. I like to restart manually - with warnings at 10, 5, 2, 1 and when I actually log to do the restart - and the only time I get a response is from players requesting more time. I have actually cancelled restarts for players and give extra warnings when I see new players joining that hadn't seen previous restart warnings. I like to be there and get a feel for what the players want. I am also yet to ban or kick a single player (and this is from a guy who backs up server logs daily and actively searches out hackers). Even today, I found 2 dudes raiding my camp. I fired at one until he ejected from his motorbike and combat logged. I then found another crawling around in the forest wearing a ghillie suit after he'd ditched my UAV. Shot him a few times before he too combat logged. I didn't kick or ban them though, because I hadn't included messages which informed players I would do so but really...because until I was an admin, I combat logged on people. Live with it. Controversial. There are admins out there who would rage and ban like crazy under similarly weak instances. Combat log on me and I'll challenge you to come back and fight like a man. So here I am, considering myself more a player having fun than an admin. I don't kick or ban people for doing stuff the game allows them to do and I certainly don't look down my nose at fellow players or label them piranhas when they are the very people playing the game and keeping the community alive. Not as you admins like to think you are doing. I am supplying a server for those people keeping the whole going...the players.

I have a CZ550 and also had an Acog assault rifle. Played for a few hours logged off to eat. About an hour later logged back on and only the CZ 550 was in my inv. Anyone else have this problem?

Seems to have stopped happening for me now. Perhaps it only happens with certain combinations of weapons or something. Probably jinxed myself saying this.

lol thanks for the tips. Seems pointless though - as soon as the admin restarts the server everything is gone anyway and I always spam vehicle saving to be sure.

Please tell me this is unintended behavior and that it will be fixed! I spent an entire day getting together an ATV, 2 UAV's and a motorbike only for them to vanish on server restart...

Same for me - walking all around the animal looking for the sweet spot just doesn't work. Laying down, crawling all around it...everything. It simply won't let me loot the gutted animal.

I didnt have to do anything - just got a successful update of be in-game and all seems ok.

Also tried replacing the be dll's (http://www.battleye.com/download.html) and overwriting the ones at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye (both the client and server dll's). Doesn't solve the issue. Going to uninstall be and see if it will then reinstall without error. Well that didn't work - I believe it may be that, the server side battleeye files require updating?

I am having this issue also. Just got kicked with a battle eye failed to update message. Thought i'd try re-installing battle eye through steam but I get 2 missing string errors. Nothing I've tried so far seems to fix it.

Date/Time: 7/8/2012 3:00 PM Halifax NS What happened: Found a ghillie suit, equipped it immediately. Ran off in to the forest and hid. Logged off to go meet up with friends on another server. Upon logging in to that server I was still wearing civ clothing, the suit had vanished and I was stood back from where I had lay down. Went back to previous server and the same. Now, I must be luckiest dude because when i went to Atlanta 124, there was a ghillie suit not in the tower but away on the ramparts leading up a wall. This time I took it, left it in my inv and ran off. Now I notice that after equipping it, all my zombie kills and murders have reset to zero. I've switched between the ghillie and the civ clothing a few times but my stats are all at zero. Gonna log off and back on to the same server (124) to see if my suit is still there and if the stats catch up or something...scared. Where you were: Devils Castle What you were doing: Loking for a ghillie suit :) One thing perhaps of note is that I had nv goggles on and active throughout all of this. *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 - with servers running 1.60.93825 *Server(s) you were on: From Atlanta 124 to Atlanta 176 *Your system specs: nVidia GT 520, i5 Quad 2.8 Ghz *Timeline of events before/after error: Made my way to Devils Castle, cleared out a zombie on the ramparts, about half way up the tower found the magic ghillie suit of vanishing.

Slightly old post but I am experiencing this now on a none HFB server. What was your solution or did this just sort itself out eventually?

I am going to spam by saying the same is happening to me. Im talking to my friend who is playing now - so it must just be the lookup servers.

Required: * US519 * Right now 4:55am my time (Halifax Nova Scotia) * Heard lots of shots and people driving around vehicles in cherno. I am atop the factory sort of place overlooking the apartments and hospital. Very tme these guys fire, someone dies on the server. I was watching and listening but could not see anything only hear it (like it was the other side away from the apartments). Suddenly a couple of shots rang out and I got the 'in shock' sort of graphic on the HUD - even there was nobody in sight (I have an acog assault rifle). Just as I was getting a screenshot, I turned in to a chopper site sort of zombie and started killing myself. I disconnected quickly in an attempt to keep my long lasting character alive. Edited to add - I notice all my kill stats have reset to 0 when I changed to the zombie. I am about to log in to a different server to see what the damage is and potentially grab further screenshots. Optional: - Video proof - Pictures Screen in which you can see from my hands I have just transformed into a chopper pilot zombie. http://imageshack.us...00/cheat2w.jpg/ Kindly convict their arses. One other thing of not is that it took a very long time on creating character and generally getting on to this server.

On server US300 I am back as normal, full health and my ACOG is back. Yay. But still...ban the hackers! I should look into FRAPS as i'm experiencing allot of fishy stuff lately especially as this great game is now so popular. Update...30 seconds in and someone is honking a horn whilst attempting to shoot me through the wall <sigh> I'm afraid one of the biggest challenges which now lies ahead for the dev team is securing this game against lame cheaters. I love the game, but day by day I want to play it less.

I seem to be stuck ever since I changed to a new server. Worked fine 10 mins ago now every server I try I'm sat on the waiting for character to create screen looking at "Return to formation!" for 20 mins.

Probably the coolest glitch i've seen to date! Gave the game a real post apocolyptic atmosphere :) Check the screens http://imageshack.us...4/86536579.jpg/ This should be in the game :) It seems to be some sort of sun flare glitch as it only happens when I look at the sun. Happened as I ran over the hill, north to south approaching chrno.

Oh. Well...I found it awesome anyway :D

You just learnt a valuable dayz lesson...always have a morphine on you :)

I don't find it strange...its helpful for me to be able to check here for problem im encountering for confirmation and possibly fix suggestions.

I like the current zombie AI save for the respawn rate - they're pretty easy to lose if you get aggro. The problem I have is going ranged on Z's to clear out a loot point. By the time I've poppped the last z and made my way in there's a new wave of them right next to me. Not really a problem when you have a new character as you tend to have to sneak in and take them on at a closer range - but when you've played for a bit and have some ranged weps it becomes a bit of a problem. I think my point is that its fun shooting z's right (rather than sneaking in and looting), so if the respawn was a bit longer that'd make me think shooting them is both fun and worth the rounds.
