I don't a fuck if it's fun for them. It's not part of the game. They should be flogged for their BS. Where are their parents? Smoking meth, is where. Only the kid of a meth head would think of something like this. Fucking methhead babies. =/

There are several random crashes (1-4?) at a time on the map, if I am not mistaken.

I saw mini nukes yesterday with zombies coming out of those mini nuke explosions only to explode themselves as soon as they go near a player. My partner and I were stalking a 4 man group at Stary and I swear one of those punks was hacking. Before we engaged them, one of them fought against my buddy who was running in the field up there. The perp was also running as much as him and he said he just stopped, and took a shot and it was a dead on head shot from hundreds of yards away with a winnie. Then an hour later after he and his group can't get us, I am almost sure he called in that mini nuke with the zombie nukes to follow. My partner and I, died. We were in the middle of nowhere above Stary and after that first explosion I see 4 zombies come from the bushes and right for us. We were prone and weren't moving, might I add. As soon as they reach us, we heard another mini nuke explosion and sure enough, we are dead. I have been killed 3 times out of the last 6 by hacking. (server kill off, zombie nukes) With 2 other times, being shot instantly in the head in one second after I put 12 rounds into someone. Those were the last two fire fights I had.

Awesome bro! Thank you for the update. You have put a lot of time into this and it is much appreciated.

It's good to trust, but never let your guard down. Not even with players that aren't labeled as "bandits." I've only played for about a week, but in my honest opinion... 90% of the time the only good bandit, is a dead one. What I am saying is, someone that has been delegated a bandit skin has killed quite a bit. And, more than likely have blood on their hands. You shouldn't really feel bad if you opened fire first on a bandit. Them's the breaks...

Yeah, I forgot to mention... I can get on to servers just not the ideal ones, nor at the ideal times. For example.. I can get on US server, late at night but not EU servers (daytime in EU; clogged up). During the day here (US-AZ), I can not login to a US server. I was just mainly curious if I should reinstall the files. When the patch came (1.5.7) I took those three new updated files and replaced them in the Dayz folder. It worked, and works when the servers aren't bogged down. I really have high hopes for this game, please don't take any of this in a negative light. I am patient, for the most part, especially when awaiting something special. Thanks in advance for the input.

I still can't get into a server. I usually end up in Debug Forest. =s If I got to a less populated server, let's say in Europe, while it is daytime in the US. I can get in. But, if I try to go, even to a low pop US server, during daytime in the US. I can not get in. If I wait it out, I'll end up in the forest. Should I uninstall and reinstall? Have people found that to work?

Thank you very much.

I know this sounds stupid but where is the config file to alter this setting? I have the steam version.

From the moment I played the game, I felt very closely to what you were saying. This game is more than just a game. It is a metaphor, in the simplest terms, for human nature. No other game triggers such a primal fear response, as this one. It deprives you of basic things, like knowledge of your surroundings, food, water, shelter. It gives you minimal supplies and tells you to go... Then comes the fun part, staying alive among the groans of the undead. And, even more nerve racking, when you come across another player, or group. Are they friend, or foe? Do you trust them? Every time I die, I grit my teeth and mutter an obscenity but I find myself clamoring for more, more, more...

I honestly think the few options that are laid out for night time play in this thread, are all viable. Worse comes to worse go play on a EU server if you are US, during the night. As for them changing the cycles, didn't Rocket already say it would take lots and lots of work, as it is coded deep into the engine? I could be wrong, but I think that is what he said. This is a survival modification, with emphasis on heavy realism. In 11 days when the moon is bright, most of you will flock to play in the dark for the scenery alone.

I ended up waking up on a small, what seemed to be a port town, called Balota... It's been days since I remember anything... all I know is, the world is eating itself. Literally. I was saved by a good man named Patton... we nicked named him GoodPatton. Good people! I told him I had a map of the area and we were just outside of Chernogorsk, a major city in the area. When I was better, I told him we could set out together if he wanted. He once again obliged and said something about always appreciating the company. Before we set out we had acquired another in our group... a tan kid, with sharp features and a strong will named, Jru. He was a good shot and wasn't dumb like most people you run into these days... can you really blame them though? They don't understand what is going on... I don't think any of us do. I told Patton about an airstrip that might hold valuable goods to the north. I was feeling better now, and it was about high time we left the comfort of that steel hangar we had taken refuge in overnight. We set out north, and as we got closer to the airpo...airpark, we started seeing lots and lots of bodies. Normally, I wouldn't mind seeing all those dead Zack everywhere... fuck em... but that meant one thing... there were already people here... 50/50 on how that would go. While searching in the airpark, we ran into two more individuals. Never caught their names, but they seemed like decent folk. I swear, even with this whole zombie thing, people still have decency. It is rather touching. With this new found group, we decided it was time to clear out Cherno. So, we set out to the east. We got to the hillside that is NW from the vantage point, when you are facing east in that area. When I was about to suggest to get to the tree line but another person, I think Patton, beat me to it. I agreed and followed him. We got inside the trees, about 100 feet, when I heard the first shot. Muffled, hollow, Whinchester shotgun. And, depending on what ammo, it could be used for longer range shots. Then I heard another shot, then another, this time I heard auto fire and there it was, SNAP right next to my right ear. It was evident they were shooting at our group. From the gunfire, it was heavy caliber, auto and multiple enemies. My heart instantly jumped to an excessive bpm... I ran up the hill, parallel to where I thought the bandits were. And, let's face it, these were bandits, cold blood killers. I then dove and started barrel rolling in a circular manner around to where I thought they would position themselves. It worked.. my fucking god... it worked. So much so, that I got cocky, and started to hurl obscenities at them, telling them I was gonna kill them all. This gave away my position and two out of the three turned to me. I dispatched the two, seeming as one didn't have a clue where I was at, but the other hand an uncanny knack for pinpointing sound. He was hitting me left and right but I put on into his head so fast even I was amazed. I then killed the second and third placing equally accurate shots, but I emptied clips into them, just for good measure... I would have had tons of awesome stuff too... but, sadly... I sat there forever looking at my spoils and was sniped by someone. HEH

With the success of the mod (aka more sales of the original game) and Rocket's affiliation with the original games developers (being a dev for BI, himself). I think they will have this fixed, hopefully, in short time. This mod is probably the best game I have ever played. I just bought ARMA2:CO for it, 4 days ago and even though I can't get in, at the moment, I know I'll eventually be able to play. Just think, this game can only get better, but for now we have to be patient.

Relax, we are all in the same boat. This is a great game but it is still in Alpha. It will take a little bit of time for it to get resolved. But rest assured, that when it does, you will play the best, most fear inducing game you have ever laid your eyes on.

I just lost an Alice Pack, M1911, full stock of food, water, soda, watch, map, compass all in a matter of minutes after finding them. And, I love it. I got mad for a second but then I was like... "man this game initiates a primal response like I've never seen before" One thing I could suggest, is maybe make the zombies give up if they lose sight of you for a few seconds. Like if you run around the buildings they get confused. Also, maybe 10% less zombies (if that is possible - i know this is a bug from a minor adjustment..heh..) All in all though, best game since Half Life (original)... and overall, probably best game I have ever played.

I haven't played the new version but I am excited. More Zack? YES PLZ!

I used to think I was just getting old, and games were good. I was actually doubting myself... Then this game came out and proved me correct all along... games nowadays suck. Thank you to the developers, for proving that simple innovation, trumps all the other BS.

I did. I watched SideStrafes video for like 10 mins and immediately purchased the CO pack. I haven't bought a game for online play in years. BFC2 and MW2 were the last, and they were a let down.

So, I bought Arma2 last night, just for this alpha product. Yes, it's that f'n good... After 4 deaths, I jumped online to find that I couldn't do anything... not even talk in game. I was stuck, apparently it is a bug. I messed with the game for a bit, by just jumping from server to server and it seems, that if you jump into one server and wait till the hourglass goes half way then quickly jump out and jump into another server (you might have to restart full game) then it should stop the bug. I don't know the amount of times you have to do this, just know when you see half the hour glass go down (should take anywhere from 10 mins - 1 hour), just jump out, restart game, then jump into another server. Hope this helps.

Basically people that think this game needs smaller maps, so they can firefight more, are the people that don't have shit for imagination. This is where we have ended up with entertainment. We have to suffer because the majority have already set off on their path to "Idiocracy."

I left mine up while I slept. I woke up to a disconnect and same bug after I spawned into another server. This is honestly infuriating. I mean the forethought for this bug would have been a 10 second brainstorm. At the very least, there should be a suicide option. That would fix this whole thing. How am I supposed to get someone to find me, when I don't know where I'm at? Also, even if I did know, how would I be able to tell them, when the bug blocks me from doing anything in game aside from alt-tab or ctrl-alt-delete. Really, devs? REALLY!?

Yeah, get a decent connection and PC. Problem solved, douchechills.
