Originally when I wanted to get this mod working, it complained and mentioned missing files beginning with CA_, such as CA DATA I had to copy 8gb of PBO files from ARMA2 to ARMA2OA to get it to work. This method shows how to set up a junction link which acts like a shortcut to your original ARMA2\Addons folder and eliminates CA type errors with very little space used (a few bytes). To start, open RUN box, by going to Start>run or pressing WINKEY+R then type in the following. (Note when seeing " [enter] " this is the actual button to be pressed) CMD [enter] A black dos box should show up, in the box type.. mklink "x:\yoursteamfolder\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Addons" "x:\yoursteamfolder\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons" /j [enter] Don't forget /j on the end. It should say junction created. After that go to your arma2oa folder and see if you have shortcut folder called Addons, then you are good to go. Have fun all. (updated for newer players)

Ugh I hate the new infection system, its bloomin' awful. Why do we still have melee in a game that now punishes it? Is there an increased drop of antibiotics on zombies? I'm not sure I'm interested in this version tbh it really needs improving. Is anyone else put off by this as much as me?

I meant Dean and the team, in a platonic, non-gay sort of way. Just a joke.

If the game had a single player campaign with scripted missions like ARMA2 does, with only limited player slots then yes I think it would be nice to have co-op there. But in a large open, sandbox, mmorpg-lite kind of game then it's probably not a good idea.

I love you.. did I just say I love you out loud? Strange.

I thought it was about the paranoia of being killed too and the levels of trust. I don't agree with the player skins for this reason. Insanity was/is driven by players I think.

What set me off was the learn2melee and QQing and the "you must be doing it wrong" comments. Sorry all. I felt backed into a corner at the end of the first page. If people detect a troll post, they automatically troll the troll.. It's the internet I should have learned that by now. However it wasn't, I was just miserable. There should be no problem with how I play in a game that works the way we'd expect it to. And by that I mean not having any bugs at all, no glitching zombies and melee attacks that work within the range of the actual 3d model and where the crosshair is pointing. Beans for everyone, even people I might have disagreed with. You will see from most of my posts I do not cause problems. Hope we can put the stupidity aside to talk about other things, this is just one topic after all.

Actually I was grumpy about dying and it was just after work so I probably could have worded it better, but then I also felt like ranting in the first post too and that would have set an even lower standard. I did what I had to. Oh yeah sorry to everyone about "Beowulf" style epic on page 2. Maybe wait and see what others have to say too before shooting the messenger? I learned something too.

Yes but what about the people that were not successful? It's not like I'm delusional? Some of them are just posting now. The initial impression I got from those, as you say, successful was that I was wrong because they say so and end of discussion. The thread had barely started. I put one fact but it's obviously irrelevant; infection killed me the last 3 times I've tried to play recently, not hunger, not players and it killed me 2 of those times trying to 'save' myself with melee. Even if it is only in my experience, it still sucks. It sucks for other people as well it seems which makes this whole 3 page crap slinging kind of pointless too don't you think? The resistance is only to general flaming. Passion does not have to mean vitriol and if the community is so passionate why is not supportive? If people just say 'No' at people without even waiting for what others say then I think that is very rude. I hope I didn't mean people were condescending for suggesting improving my skills, I meant that they were condescending for telling me it's my fault. Now we know it's not just my fault, it makes their insults more apparent. Yes I forgot you too and everyone else who at least made a suggestion or comment that was constructive. Viccos post was deadpan and quite poetic. Beans were given out to everyone I think. Cheers

Actually I've heard Dean Hall state numerous times it was about the emergent gameplay driven by players, the paranoia etc. Early interviews mostly. All of the people who say "it's just you" have no idea how I play, how far I am standing away and what I am aiming at and has had no proof of what I am doing at all. This is an assertion, something I have been accused of doing. Kind of hypocritical? Since the first page I have been trying to defend myself against this kind of foolishness. How do people know? They don't and they're just being rude. They assume that my post is a troll post automatically get into protective mode and then Oh no I love melee! this man is a monster! The internet would not exist without blunt opinions that other people hate. Yin-Yang You could have just read the questions and answered, there was no capitals or ranting in the OP. If you think that there is no discussion in 3 questions, you obviously just skipped over them to argue with me about the delivery of my message and not its content I think you'll find the community is up its own ass, read above. It's not that I don't mind different beliefs, is that everyone is ignorant of any facts Can you smell the hypocrisy? It's a total wind up. Melee weapons are useful in being silent I get that, but death is not useful, nor preferable. You say that I would apply that logic to everything and make even the most realistic things absurd. The pursuit of more realism in a flawed, virtual emulation is already absurd in itself. You will never get a perfect simulation of something you never experienced. Why not make it entertaining instead? To everyone else, Fluxley and Pbremmus, Vicco thanks yes I will be adapting and still playing and hoping I don't die pretty quickly. Hehehe, yeah right. If the Z's actually work. ( I saw some sitting around drinking tea. I think they were having a break ) Did anyone actually mention the drop rate of antibiotics from various spawns?

This is similar to what I have said though, in that I don't feel like exploiting some broken stuff to get around some other broken stuff. The zombies should be moving at full speed inside buildings, it was always the intention. Besides, I wasn't doing it wrong before the high chance of infection was introduced now it is high risk if you want to survive. Running away is a far better idea. I'm tired of this fighting now anyway, people keep saying the same thing and I've always stated that the broken things should be worked on before any new ideas go in. Perhaps that is why the mod will always stay an alpha and not a fully realised and complete mod.

Dude if you aren't going to add anything constructive, just ignore me and move on..I would say that to everyone who doesn't like how I talk. I didn't attack you and there is an ignore option for a reason. I am brutal, to the point and while I may be wrong I am happy to be corrected as long as the right attitude is displayed. If people want to teach me that is fine, I can learn and adapt. I don't like put downs and wind-ups. Just talk. People have suggested using buildings to slow down zombies and aiming in a slightly different place, higher or lower and get them from 5ft away. That is all fine, but is exploiting already dodgy mechanics. When the zombies don't glitch and act like real zombies, then maybe my way of attacking with my reticule over the target and in range of my weapons actual 3d model will be all I need.

You are correct, the OP was direct and to the point. You didn't say it had to be in the first post. You just said I made assertions. Actually it was 2 opinions and 3 questions. If I write large initial posts, people just TLDR it. So I'm stuck with writing small amounts until people ask for further explanations or basically attack me, which I don't like since I just wanted a chat. My first question was "Why do we still have melee in a game that now punishes it?" It was a general community question. In Post #4 I added "Since the rate of infection is so high, melee is pointless" this is my opinion only. In #9 I added to the discussion again, "..If all I am doing is running away, why did I pick up a machete (?) .. Why not take melee weapons out and let us run away until we get a gun.(?)" So you see my logical ideas came about in extended replies and not the OP. I wanted to talk about these things influencing each other, not fight. I didn't intend it that way. Really I don't mind if people say I am wrong or my idea doesn't make sense. What I loathe is people either calling me stupid/noob whatever and trying to make me feel that is my fault, that I somehow put something in the mod I enjoyed, just to piss me off? I didn't put the thing into the mod. Instead of player vs player social interaction, we have.. survive against zombies.. And it was never survive against zombies, it was always do your own thing and the zombies are kind of there. The drama and entertainment came from the players.

Which would those be? I made several well calculated premises, in logical and rational manner and a conclusion. This is an argument. I think you'll find the real reason is because the internet somehow magically grants permission for everyone to automatically be rude, patronising and offensive and get away with it because they don't have to look anyone in the eye. That would work, but I had to cheat by server hopping since the hospital I went to in Berezino was totally looted. Since I play solo I was essentially dead, my health bar was empty and my screen full grey. I ate all my food to get there and it still didn't matter, that included about 7 cans and 4 cooked meat. But if you say I should have played with someone else, then that is the mod punishing me for a particular play style. Which is not what Mr Hall even wanted. As I believe he wanted emergent gameplay that was defined by the players themselves with no fixed classes or game styles. Again using a bug to try and fight it is not really the idea, the zombies were/are supposed to be full speed inside buildings. That tactic would not work when they finally become the menace in buildings they were intended to be. I know what the range is anyway, approximately, as I've been using for every version since versions earlier than 1.7*

No it might not have a direct link, but I am also put off negatively by various changes. Since it is what the OP is talking about in first paragraph then I think it applies. If you are in range of being attacked, then you are either going to fire point blank which gets you killed or use melee which also gets you killed. It is the changes that are killing pvp, according to the OP. I agree on this point and want to also discuss why? What Changes? Most of the replies were insults from people who didn't actually wan't to answer my questions. I think I understand why so many people are just disappearing.

I'm sorry for my outburst, but it is very infuriating when you post some opinions along with three questions to try and get a discussion and the community proceeds to berate you for it. It's very negative. Thanks to chris529 for nailing it on the head. Yes it is risky, when I originally wanted to take the risk I knew I could take that hit of 2000 blood, because I had 10000 left. Even getting hit 4 or 5 times I could still survive. Getting hit now is an extremely risky prospect.

Cheers for the decent reply. I'm not sure if you get it though, getting infected does have correlation because if I don't want to get infected then I don't want to use melee. I pretty much have to wait for a gun.. so why not take melee weapons out and replace the spawns with extra guns? Why did I waste time picking it up, saying "oh cool a machete lets try it out" and then testing it and getting killed? This is basically what I have been trying to say. Melee =Keeps you alive. Infection = Kills you. Melee == Kills you

Oh wow you're a bunch of spoilt children. Really you can't all talk in a forum about something without being load of elitists? Lets get some facts straight, I've been playing games since 8086's and the only commands you could enter were "GO NORTH" This has nothing to do with me and is entirely to do with a mod that is not being balanced properly on each release. Why it isn't, I have no idea but the title of Alpha is an excuse to keep changing things and screwing people around and then if you don't like it then the reply is A) It's an ALPHA. which is bullshit, because it's clearly at the beta stage OR B) It's obviously your fault you are not doing it right. Which is what children say who can't be bothered to discuss the problem. An Ad Hominem(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem) attack is one against the person and not the issue. Anger is uncontrolled rage and aggression. I have made all of my points in as civilised way as possible. Since everyone that has replied has either totally missed the point or has insulted me and then made up false accusations that I have been angry. I am now going to defend myself with extreme prejudice. 1) If it is my fault, why are so many people playing other editions of DayZ now? You know the ones that weren't happy with a certain mechanic. Where are the millions of players that the mod had when it was first released? 2) if 4 zombies are attacking you, the rate you will get infected is actually 1 in 125. Since the rate of antibiotics are nowhere near this and factoring in that the places they drop are usually very far from some of the initial spawns. You get.. an unbalanced feature. 3) If a feature kills me in 5 minutes, when it was supposed to keep me alive. Why why would I want to do it? 4) Yes tin cans are a pointless feature too, because they also get me killed. 5) There you have the whole logic of my argument. The further breakdown,. NO? NO? I seem be the only one.. You are mistaken and also ignorant. First off you don't say NO.. that is like saying I am wrong just because you say so, which is bollocks. Secondly it sounds like you are denying my right to free speech, are you? The only attitude I give out is to people like you, who are basically implying that I should not be allowed to speak. Saying NO is condescending. Total fabrication again. where is the anger at people who disagree? Evidence please. Yes you can make a thread about it. Since I am not angry you can do whatever you like, but I suggest starting with get the hell out of my thread and making your own. Then I can come to it, tell you your opinion is worthless, tell you its your fault and make you feel like a piece of crap too. Jerk A little from column A, a little from column B Use a broken mechanic to circumvent another one? Stupid. Z's shouldn't even be walking in buildings its a side effect of crappy navigation. Please post the proof of "attitude" since I am only defending myself from a load of douchebags, like you, who would rather blame the OP than discuss the fucking issue. I have never said anyone's point of view was invalid or stupid. Nobody has made a single point that wasn't an insult. It took you 5 posts to even understand what I was saying, do you understand what I am saying now? "change the antibiotic drop rate to 1 in 500" Looks like a suggestion to me. Now, can we have a civilised chat about why the melee is or isn't pointless and the logic of high rates of infection. And no more frickin insults please, I am fed up with this childishness. And if you're wondering, my "attitude" is all provoked because I never insult, I never get aggressive and I have been reasonable and fair for my entire stay at this forum. I have even posted community tools and tutorials and In fact my first 5-6 posts in this topic were not negative and contained no direct insults.

I thought you also wanted to SLI/crossfire.. the higher one means you don't have to upgrade again when you get to that point.

Yep definitely need more info. But I would just not go for that PSU anyway.

I simplified it: answer.. not its not enough. :P

this one is superior and allows for more options http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp Bottom line.. This power supply is inefficient. Get one with 50+amps on the 12v rail and I recommend 650w minimum. If unsure post links here and I will tell you. I simplified the post so you don't have to get too technical if you don't want to.

Don't really need to list case, optical and audio as it has no bearing on gaming performance. beatSTV is correct, that chip is not that good. For the same price you can get a phenom 965BE which I have and they are great. For a bit more I would actually go for the 4170 or the 6170. The PSU needs to be higher, 650w+ I would go GTX only for graphics cards. My system is currently this and handles everything.

All I know is that infection killed my main which was over 150(possibly 200 I can't remember) days old after I logged in with this new version, it has also killed me twice as a new spawn. If the rate of infection is now 1 in 500 then there needs to be 1 in 500 chance of spawning antibiotics on zombies and other loot piles.. or even more increased rates.
