Hi all, So - am I doing it wrong? I've been camping around the barracks for like a whole day now, nobody else has even been here, I removed all the items and put them on corpses but it seems only chemlights, flares, AKMs and M16's are spawning. Isn't there supposed to be valuable shit like NVG's, useful ammo and rare weapons? I know the barracks are supposed to be the high value military spawn but I get better stuff at Stary Sobor Cheers Tim

Hi all, I'm getting "battleye intialization failed" upon launching my server. Have tried running the setup for BE located in the OA/BEsetup directory and from steam, but no luck This is happening since updating with 1.7.2.3 Please help :) Tim

It would be pretty cool if we had a way of seeing a regularly updated list of where the devs are up to in terms of development, for example it could contain a list of known bugs and could say whether they are working on a fix, what they think the problem is and when they expect to release a fix. As well as new features and their ETA. Given how kept in the dark we are it would be nice to receive some feedback as to where the mod is at and the direction it's heading. We have seen many builds released but bugs are not being fixed. A short and simple "we know this bug exists but can't fix it yet because X Y Z" would be a welcome addition to community and seeing what the devs have in store for the future will give us something extra to look forward to Cheers Tim

I understand that items are supposed to be rare but why so rare? I have a full time job, I don't exactly get to sit on my ass 24/7 waiting for shit to spawn. Not only that it's difficult enough as it is to hang around the barracks without getting shot This needs to be fixed IMO I'm not giving up my social life to play this game Actually only two.

Go on then :D

No idea what the hell you were trying to say, that confused the shit outta me. But +1 for this idea, the mag should disappear from the bag when it goes into the gun there is of course the problem of reloading before your mag's before they are empty, do you keep the extra rounds? does the next mag stay in inventory half-full? I hate to add complexity but IRL you have to manually load rounds into mags, the ability to keep half empty mags and consolidate the rounds to get full mags would be neat, and realistic EDIT: perhaps a single mag only slot next to the gun, so we can see there's a mag in the gun and how much ammo it has from the G menu. IMO the ammo counter on the HUD should be removed, you don't get an ammo counter in real life. Just learn to count

I'm sure someone will say there is something wrong with shooting children, even zombies, but shit this game has so far said "fuck you" to anything stopping it from being as realistic as possible so yeah +1 from me on this idea, if they really want to deviate from the mainstream they should remove themselves from the 100% male game population trend that all combat games seem to follow these days. Nice suggestion btw :)

I'd like to see this happen, at the moment the zombies aren't exactly what i'd call "realistic"

Well if you chose not to use the same email signing up to the support system as you did the forum, how will they know which forum account is to be associated with the support account? It's a totally separate system

Yeah but then the mods would have to manually set permissions for every user who is a server host. Dunno about you but I had my forum account before I was hosting and it's totally separate from my support.dayzmod.com account - hence I wouldn't have access to a special forum Easier to just hit "add" and type "Server Abuse Reports" on the "create forum" page...

Hi all, I'm just after a hand testing my newly setup server First to reply to this I'll PM you my skype info Just need someone to connect and tell me what happens Much appreciated <3 never mind, just realised most of them are broken

Im on board with this, I think though perhaps a "server abuse report" forum of its own might be a better idea?

Hi all, Anyone trying to connect to our newly setup server is getting stuck at the Loading (black) screen right before when they would normally be spawned in-game. Does anyone know what causes this? Only thing to do is alt+f4 out of it. We can all connect to other servers just not our new one. The IP is 108.61.18.115 if anyone can help. We are more or less out of ideas and have also submitted a ticket. The password to the server is currently set to testing123 The other issue we are having is the server not being listed in the server browser in game. We have opened UDP ports 2302, 2303 and 2305 on the server, there is no hardware firewall. Thanks, Tim

Hi urban, Yeah both of those are OK, still persists. Cheers Tim

Check the name of your mission file corresponds to that in your server config file.

Hi all, As I have never had contact with Arma or Arma 2 before DayZ, I am completely unfamiliar with running a server for DayZ. A thorough and extensive google search involving typing in "dayz server setup tutorial" and breifly scanning the first page of results before giving up sadly did not yeild much success. Is there a guide to setting up, configuring and optimising the elusive daisy server anywhere? For some reason people seem to think this counts as a guide to setting up a server, I've seen it, please don't link me to it. Cheers, Tim

That had occured to me however I was thinking more along the lines of a guide to configuring a server optimally for DayZ. Even if it went something like: "follow this (link) guide to setting up arma 2, then throw the @ dayz folder in same as the game and change the following configs to make it better for dayz..." That kinda thing.
