[offtopic]: Last two weeks we had burning hell weather here. It was wet and kept +36\38 C It was a disaster. Now it's pretty stable, +20 +25C Winter is not eternal here. There's subpolar Siberia, thye have much shorter summer, but it's hot in summer too. We had -40 this winter. While subpolar regions had up to -46 -48C.[/offtopic]

Hmm.. Strange, I prefer drinking tea when playing DayZ too :) I know it's lame, but I drink green tea with tangerine flavouring, Lipton :) You know, the pyramid tea-bag. Can't help. Very good taste. Sometimes when I want black tea, I make non-tebag Ahmad tea :)

I recommend using your native monitor resolution for both screen and 3d resolution. This improves performance. Turn off posteffects, make shados VERY HIGH (takes shadow processing from CPU to GPU) Considering you icons size - check out the option in the video settings called, I guess, UI scale, or Interface size. This setting affects the issue you describe. Pay attention to Widescreen option too. Hope it wil lhelp. Cheers.

Are you still there?

Have my beans. Spare me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You can report your own topic with a comment like "please, move my thread to this subforum, thanks" Concenrning video. Wathced first minutes and realized it's just your gameplay. I play pretty long time and think I wont find enything interesting for me. I think, you must add some description of main features, the scenario of your video, so that we know what to expect without watching it for 21 minutes.

I have two characters. One for my own adventures and the other one is always at our squad's rally point to be able to quickly gather with my group and go coop. Bought another cd-key Created registry exports for both cd-keys I changed to the new cdkey using this tool Made a separate account in Windows I Apply cd-key reg files in relevant windows accounts Works fine. Cheers.

Hi. I hope this can help http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/43871-how-to-transfer-player-data/

Rocket wants to bring standalone DayZ asap. Until DayZ is a mod, there are no legal ussies with it's content. He can claim it usermade and wash his hands. If he wants to make a standalone game, commercial project, with income and legal rights and copyrights, then he must go through PEGI and ESRB and all that rating stuff you know. He removed suicide ability because he doesn't want this simple useless feature to delay the standalone game in any way. One critical shout from a politician, one article in a big newspaper and Dean Hall will be blamed for someones committing suicide after playing DayZ. This will end DayZ prematurely and noone wins. Let's not take that risk, right? P.S. This game is not entirely about acheiving utmost realism. It's about immersive gameplay. These are two very different concepts. Think about it.

Thanks for reading my post so attentively. No irony. Thank you sir for exposing some of my wrong thinking. Ignorant? Yes, may be. I don't consider myself too educated. I express my opinion based on what I happened to learn someday. Correct me, I'll be grateful. Sterotypic? Hmmm... About American chidren. Yeah, good point. Was just a guess. May be a lame one. I won't deny. About everything else... See below. I wasn't generalizing an age group. I spoke of people, who suffer from self-esteem problems and are infantile, childish by nature, not by age. Psychologically a cheater who ruins other's gaming experience online is just childishly sadistic and egoistic. It's personal trait and is a result of bad parental guidance. Such people can grow up to 20 and 30 years old and still remian the same, envy driven, chaotic, morally ill or just ignoring any responsibility in their life. Their motto? "If something can be done - I'll do it! It's a challenge! You must ignore rules and try everything in your life!" My usual reply to such maximalistic view: "So why don't you eat your own *hit for breakfast? It's a challenge! Why haven't you tried it?!" #YouKnowWhatIMean

Player markers on the map are enabled by server difficulty settings. It's enabled by default on "Recruit" difficulty. Higher difficulty levels have this turned off by default. http://wiki.zspecialunit.org/index.php?title=ArmA_2_Server_Difficulty_Settings

Upcoming patch is dealing a bit with this. We'll have logout delay of 5 seconds. Your character will stay ingame for 5 seconds even if connection is dropped. Another thing - now every login and logoff fact is recorded to DayZ database. It will be then analyzed by the developers and a new algorithm will be implemented to suppress this exploiting and DC abuse.

Already suggested many times on forums. Good idea though.

And I advise you to change your security applications. Seems your PC is infected and there's a risk of someone's being able to steal your registy keys and cdkey for hacking. Use ESET Internet Securisy for example, I use it. I'm not an expert in this, but it works fine for me and haven't got such issues yet.

Global bans are issued by BattleEye, not DayZ. Try this - http://www.arma2.com/customer-support/support_en.html

I think you miss some technical part. At this moment DayZ has no use of arma 2 engine code. And Arma2 engine code is binarized, it's packed and requires sever reverse engineering to penetrate it's security. DayZ is a mod, it's not binarized, it's a side code which is run along with the game. If you open up the arma2oa.exe process memory with some tool, you would be able to see READABLE dayz code, readable scripts. If you succed in disabling BattleEye after you connected to a server then you can use another tool to inject hackers script into DayZ code. That's how present hack work. If Rocket gets his hand on his own version of the arma2 engine, then he can binarize his DayZ core codes inside the engine. No readable and easily changabe scripts in process memory. If some freaking hacker reverses the executable and get pointers to the memory to hack it, next patch changes all pointers completely, hackers need to reverse engineer it back again hardly. So, present hacks, are simple injections to a not very protected mod technology. When DayZ gets standalone and is binarized, hacking will be severely decreased and easily fixed if happenned.

I never play US. Mostly play LU, UA, DE servers. Havent met a single hacker yet. I play for two months. No hackers. I think US children can afford buying hacks and have some easy payment access to it. I'm not inventing an excuse for this. But hacking a game bring just some other satisfaction. It's hacking for the process of hacking, of changing reality to your needs. It's modelling the world to your liking. It's addictive. Usually people who are addicted to hacking (not hackers, but hack users) are easily tempted to betray friends, relatives and disregard moral etiquette as being "retarded and not cool". Those teenagers think that using a hack is true HACKING. But it's a congusion of terms, we call it hacking, because the application is hacking something. A hacker just needs to be stupid enough to read readme file and press some key when needed or alttab to press button. This childish "hacking" is a way to raise their infantile self-esteem. They envy adults to be cool and be in charge, be able to to make choice and live as they want. Some children take example and follow adults, copy them. But most easy way is to get angry, agressive and "burn'em alll, hahahaha, f**ers!!! take that!!! mwahahah!!! i ruin your game!!!hahah you loosers!!! go moan on forums!!! yeah it me!!!" Self esteem is raised - target acheived. Morally person degrades. That's it. I hope you get my point. We shall feel sorry for these poor stupid ill souls and go further. Wait for standalone game. Rocket will pcak DayZ core code into engine and hackers are f***ed up. Cheers.

Very fresh idea! Just in the core concept of the game that Rocket is explaining: the little subtleties which benefit alltoghether to the gameplay without breaking the immersion. But toghether with a 5 seconds cooldown after login this would be relogger-killer for sure!

Sad to hear. Let's wait for Rocket to get his hands on Arma2\3 engine and finally rip out all the stupid vulnerabilities from the engine. I'm just curious why BIS are not fixing this issue. That's a mystery. I heard Dean say that BIS and BattleEye are cooperating and working hard on this... but, seriously, hackers are raging for almost a month! Developers are very cool programmers and can't invent some simple way to prevent injecting script, dammit! Can't get it. Give Rocket some tiny binarized part of engine with next beta patch and make all scripts flow there somehow, instead of writing to open memory, dammit. Sorry :( Just pissed off with hackers too and feel that soultion is somwhere near...

Hmm... I don't think it exists. http://wiki.zspecialunit.org/index.php?title=ArmA_2_Server_Difficulty_Settings

Confirmed. It's a matter of luck I guess, but I was hacked to death once in a shop and shot once in the barrack on the airfield (why the hell did I go there). That's TWO times for almost three months of playing DayZ. In all other cases I either ran away silently if felt danger, or made good friends with strangers. You say lucky... hmmm. I don't KoS, and may be it's karma, not luck. ;) Think about it.

Good point bahhh, thanks. I fully agree with you and such gameplay is for true roleplay gamers. I respect such people. But of course, using online maps is purely personal choice, a choice for convenience and saving time. The best thing about DayZ is that you really can do everything you want. Don't use online maps and immerse yourself in totally new brand experiance. Don't kill others and play a role of honorable morally sane hero of the wastelands. "Your Day Z. Your story." ™.

Wolves eat wolves. I like it :) We, humble surivors, benfit in any case. Wolves are kept busy eating wolves, while not shooting survivors and shooting each other! Awesome.

If you want to backup all Arma2 stuff, backup: My Documents\Arma2 other profiles folder Export registry branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Bohemia Interactive Studio\\ArmA 2 OA\\key [*]your Program Files\Bohemia Interactive folder Move it all to new PC. Place files in the same paths as on former OS. Click the registry file to import your cdkey. 100% tested and working. Done many times. Good luck.
