Yeah but at least he will be able to rid his server of noobs using public hacks and scripts. Majority of hackers don't know how to write SQF scripts, or C++ to bypass battleye. They just use someone else's. And the people who write private scripts, the thrill for them is successfully hacking in the first place, not nuking servers and killing everyone.

Unfortunately you can just kill arma2oa.exe from task manager, or turn the power to your computer off.

Open notepad, paste below in, save it as a .cmd file (not txt) on your desktop and run it. let me know if it works SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS :v64_path_a2 For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%A In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2PATH=%%B) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO v32_path_a2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :v32_path_a2 For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%C In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2PATH=%%D) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO uac_PATH_A2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :uac_PATH_A2 @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%I IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2PATH=%%J) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO std_PATH_A2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :std_PATH_A2 @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%K IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2PATH=%%L) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2PATH (GOTO ENDfailA2) ELSE (GOTO v64_path_a2oa) :v64_path_a2oa For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%E In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') Do (set _ARMA2OAPATH=%%F) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO v32_path_a2oa) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :v32_path_a2oa For /F "Tokens=2* skip=2" %%G In ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') Do set (_ARMA2OAPATH=%%H) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO uac_PATH_A2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :uac_PATH_A2OA @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%M IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2OAPATH=%%N) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO std_PATH_A2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :std_PATH_A2OA @FOR /F "tokens=2* delims= " %%O IN ('REG QUERY "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA" /v "MAIN"') DO (SET _ARMA2OAPATH=%%P) IF NOT DEFINED _ARMA2OAPATH (GOTO ENDfailA2OA) ELSE (GOTO RUN) :run call "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\Expansion\beta\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca" "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@DayZ" -window -nosplash -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=7 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ENDLOCAL :end @exit /B 0 :ENDfailA2 @exit /B 1 :ENDfailA2OA @exit /B 2

^ This. I think once you wake up, you have to wait 30min before disconnecting again and you should be ok. either that or run close to the coast (no too close) and respawn, find your body and get your loot

They are coming back in. Page 4 of "Arma2 patch build 94997 now running on some servers"

Six launcher downgrads your beta patch. don't use it. launch arma2oa.exe and look for servers through multiplayer

Worked perfectly for me. But let me provide some info as a lot of people seem to be having issues, so here are some steps in the most basic manner I can put them. 1) Download the .ZIP file of the beta patch (Build_94997) from Anders first link. 2) Extract the beta to a folder (doesn't matter where, I just put mine on the desktop) 3) Go to http://www.battleye.com/download.html and download BE Client for Windows (32-bit) and BE Server for Windows (32-bit). NOTE:- Very important! Get the files that appear UNDER the heading of v1.61.94945+ NOT! from under v1.11 / v1.60 / v1.61.94876. Save these files to a folder on your desktop (for the moment, we will be doing something with these!) 4) Open up the location of the Battle Eye folder in the Expansion folder for ArmA II OA. I have the Steam version so for me it is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye 5) Re-name (or delete, up to you) BEClient.dll and BEServer.dll to somthing like BEClient.old and BEServer.old. this means you at least have a backup of the old dll files if things go pear shaped. 6) Take the newly downloaded dll files from Step 3, and copy them to the location in Step 4 7) Run the beta patch exe from step 2. (If Wrong CD Key comes up, just OK past it. It should install anyway) 8) Launch arma2oa.exe located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta (I recommend added a shortcut to your desktop for easy access into arma) 9) Go to Multiplayer, put in a filter of 94997 and join a server If you get the "kicked by battleye for bad name" error. Create a new profile, and log into a 94997 server. Once you are in you can disconnect and delete the new profile and revert to your old one. This worked for me. EDIT: I did exactly the same steps for a friend of mine, and I got the "Battleye Initialization Failed" message people have been talking about. This is how I fixed it 1) After all of the above steps I quit ArmA II to desktop, and uninstalled Battleye (Start > All Programs > Bohemia Interactive > Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead > Battleye > Uninstall Battleye) 2) Deleted the beta folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta) NOTE: Make sure you delete the correct folder. 3) Installed the beta patch I had downloaded from Step 1 at top of post. 4) Launched into Arma2 (Step 8 above) 5) Attempted to launch multiplayer game (1.7.2.3 beta 94997) to see if it would force downloading of Battleye (It didn't) 6) At this point, I Alt+Tab'ed back to desktop leaving ArmA 2 open! 7) I copied the DLL files from Step 3 in first post, to its location correct location (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye) 8) Launched another multiplayer game (1.7.2.3 beta 94997) and battleye worked fine. I'm not sure if having ArmA 2 open already, when I copied the battleye files to their location is what made it work, or if it was a bit of luck. I know that Battleye doesn't even initialize until you load into a game, so it shouldn't have made a difference when the DLL files were copied. Anyone else having the above issue, try this solution and let me know if it works for you.

If you can see trees and water and a road, you are most likely west of kamenka. If you are in a forest with a lot of survivors that are standing and not moving, you are in the debug forest. Respawn. If you are in an area with no trees and grass. Just plain hills as far as the eye can see, run SSE for an eternity and you may get back to the map. Or just respawn.

It would have been a hacker spawning everything. Admins don't have that power (unless admin was a hacker). I liked the vid though. It would have been like finding the holy grail. lol At least you found a good hacker (if that even makes sense). Most of them just nuke servers killing everyone, or teleport people to some stupid place.

Yep, and only in the barracks. Also heli crash sites. In fact there are some weapons that can't even be found at barracks. Only at heli crash sites

I killed a guy in elektro supermarket the other day. Was on a nighttime server looking for an Alice Pack. He was out the front, me in the back. I saw him and crept to a dark corner. When he came out the back, he had his back to me. I ran through scenarios in my head, if I helped him and traded he probably would have shot me in the back so I made the decision to shoot him first. Felt bad afterwards :( I liked it better when global chat was available. I don't care on how realistic the game is. I play games for the social aspect and community.

Should move this thread to Server General. Will stop a lot of client side response queries to this thread.

What beta patch are you running. The newest one has issues. If you are running 94945 go back to 94876.

Just click OK, and it should install anyway. I get that error with every beta update and i just ok past it. beta still installs perfectly

May run into a legal shit fight on this one, as laws on this sort of thing differ from country to country. And DayZ is global.

to be honest I don't know. Get as many survivors together and live in seclusion I guess. I have always wondered what if DayZ was more like that TV show Falling Skies. http://www.tv.com/shows/falling-skies/ What would be different then?

On the note of banning people for having "the whole kit" as you put it, this is a bit of a touchy subject. What if that said person was a good bandit and collected a whole kit from killing multiple people? You can't make the assumption they are a cheat without proof. Having said all that, things like ammo.sqf are definately hax. On the SQF topic, I would recommend you learn how it works and what it is. That way you will be able to find hacks more easily in yor logs. It is also really cool to use in conjunction with the mission editor in ArmA 2 to make awesome battle scenes and trigger unique events

once you have tried out DayZ, ArmA 2 in general is an awesome game. Worthwhile giving it a crack. Welcome abord :)

I would recommend estimating a spec for ArmA 3, as this is coming out soon and will save you having to upgrade twice. I would also recommend expanding to more then 4GB of memory. Are you running Dual, Tripple or Quad Channel? Power supply I would recommend 750W+ IRL these things cost a lot of money, but if you are short, try saving for a bit longer for future proofing reasons.

I agree with you. I think that is a awesome way to look at it. :) And as long as things like this are minimal. There was one video on youtube of a guy nuking cherno (single player) in normal ArmA 2 (Yes' date=' ArmA is actually a game outside of DayZ).

Vybor can be a good area for matches. It has a Supermarket, and right across the road is a high value residential building. Just be a bit careful as Vybor is close to NW airfield and usually a good pitstop for people heading up that way.

EDIT: Wrong Thread for original reply. I have too many tabs open :( On a side note, I think this map is well done :) Good info for beginners.

Also on some servers if you hold down Shift+Left Click, it will set a waypoint marker, so when you go back to the normal game, it will have a point on the hoizon and how far away it is. quite useful for those without a compass

Check out the Angry Adventure channel on Youtube. You can use that setup in conjunction with Tungle.
