Ok, having tent probs too. Are you playing with others because I think its due to mixed people using the same tent then each pressing save on it. I think if you are the owner and the only one to press Save option, then there is less chance to have the bug. So basically I suggest placing 1 tent, using that one tent and nobody else can use it. If you want to trade or swap items take them out and put on the floor etc.

Open a Run box by pressing WIN+R or going to Start > run, then paste in the following and change your steam folder location in both sections between " " mklink "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Addons" "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons" /j Check your arma2 oa folder to see if you have a new shortcut called >addons, then run the game.

I think there is a FOV option, take a look at this post. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/ug6wu/how_to_adjust_your_fov_aka_how_to_cure_arma2/ Try tweaking that, other than that sorry I don't know what to suggest.

Can we please put up 'its an alpha' in big flashing letters on the top of the forum because I'm sick of people mentioning it now.

You might have a zoom mode toggled on. you need to press the corresponding button once to get rid of it. For example to 'lock' Zoomed in, you press (on numpad) ++, to get rid of it press +. to lock zoomed out press --, to get rid press - If you have right clicked the mouse, right click again. right click is different to holding right mouse down. Hope that helps.

I always get lag when I'm looking through binocs or a scope, or sometimes zooming in. I think its due to the way ARMA streams textures from low to high detail when you approach things and zoom in, the only think I can think of is make sure placement is good on your hard disk (defrag) and also that you have a reasonably fast drive.

I think it should have a counter so that you can only respawn 3 times an hour or something like that. Every hour you get another 3 chances.

IED's are in the ARMA2 expansion in takistan, so they are part of the game. You would need a handful of junk and a m67 frag grenade in your inventory and it should be possible to spawn an IED.

A similar thing happened to me in Stary Sobor the other day, I was alone mostly in the tents having just checked them but my bones were broken and I was on 5k blood. So I hear the screams of someone getting pounced on, I move along on my belly to try and see if he needs help and he is just sitting in a tent and shoots me. I guess it saved me the trip to the hospital which was about 4km away and he got my remington, m1, mil flashlight and assorted gear. I think I learned that day that nobody is worth saving.

Shift & Flush? Sounds like something you do after a curry ;)

This one will apparently have more features. So I won''t compete with it. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/39628-dayz-server-suite-name-pending-alpha002-on-pg-3/

No longer developing, someone stole my idea.

I already made a scripts.log scanner, but thanks. I can't be arsed anymore. I wasn't being paid for it meh :P

Haha, like the strange crashed nuclear missile that is in the woods near Kamenka?

And what do you think that I think it means? Insanity is a delusional state of mind. I made that reference to the 'grand experiment' that Rocket is conducting and the fact that so many people want to play it a different way. It is insanity that people keep trying to play the game in its current form and metaphorically bash their heads against a brick wall by doing so. So many people want PVE and so many people want Private Hives. They are all potential customers, why not make them happy too? Like MMOs and they function pretty well without server hoppers ruining it for others.

I think we should all just calm down a bit when it comes to DayZ and ARMA2 patches, they are released like every hour and it just means players can't connect to servers because its all mismatched. Every time there is an update everyone just totally spazzes out, crashes the server and then proceed to rape the forum with bugs and complaints. Firstly the arma2 one is a beta and you don't even know if its going to work or break what you already think is working. Why not leave it until they add something significant that actually makes a difference to you? Secondly of course, the dayz is alpha, which means its already not even 10% of what it could be (I'm guessing) who knows how many versions until its complete. TLDR If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So I say, hold off on the crazy patching and pick a date every 2 weeks, or 1 day a month and do all your updating then. At least it would allow some people to get in and have a game with a version that worked, or at least provided enough enjoyment not to moan about it. Thanks

Incorrect. Its a mod and its an experiment. it does work regardless of private/public or pve/pvp. I would say its a success at all those things. Why pigeon-hole it? Secondly its about choice, you make a lot of people happy (and paying customers) if you cater to as many demographics as possible.

A lot of people don't give feedback at all, they just complain or shoot other people down for their opinions. A lot just get angry/upset and leave. Its like the players shooting each other for their beans, that mentality has carried over to the forum in some ways.

And what might that experiment be? Creating a new compound or a mixture? The double slit experiment? schrodinger's cat? Oh I'm sorry that last one was a theory. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein

I run a private on and off, anyone is welcome to join. The rules are basically 1 no pvp unless accidental. 2 no hacking. 3 no hoarding As others have mentioned, your gear will be separate.

Ok I am not sure that may be an issue. If you want to know what I did exactly here it is: copy all arma2\addons files to arma2oa\extension\addons make sure @DayZ mod is in arma2oa run the game with this shortcut "X:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ -nosplash Replace "X:\Steam" above with your steam folder

I can read, I'm just not omnipotent and therefore cannot possibly read every bit of text on this forum. Can you not be fucking rude?

Maybe the hitpoints of the zombies was increased without us noticing, instead of the guns being nerfed. Incidentally I've been killed two more times because of the lack of damage output from pistols and even shotguns.

I think this problem would be resolved with a 'save refresh' that is the vehicle times out and respawns if the user doesn't save every 3 days Also to alleviate the hoarding maybe only one vehicle is allowed to be saved per map grid, which means people would at least have to spread them out a bit.

I think minor loot should be spawned in and around dustbins and trash piles instead of in low priority buildings. The kind of things I'd like to see in bins are empty tins/bottles and the very occasional food tin and soft drink can. I think the shot up military vehicles, like the humvee, should occasionally have a chance to spawn a medical item or some ammo clips too. I'm not sure it's possible, as right now the only spawns seem to be under a roof of some kind(like outhouses and shacks) or inside a building. Perhaps keeping track of extra spawn points will bog down the server but I'd like to know what others thought.
