Don't create another thread for this please. Moved to ban appeals. Edit: I deleted the duplicate thread that you created in Server General.

Ok. Maybe nothing changed since bandit skins got removed. Maybe I'm just dreaming and all the hundreds of other people who write threads about the kill-on-sight problem. All I can say is what I've experienced myself. Since bandit skin removal, I've tried to be friendly to strangers and got killed every time (over 10 times) except once. Before bandit skin removal, more than half of my encounters were positive. This will be my last response to this thread, I don't want to argue about whether bandit skin removal made a change or not. I saw a significant change, and that is why I consider that (and the resulting kill-on-sight) to be the main reason for the change in survivor's motivations that the OP was asking about.

Ladder bug got fixed. There was a thread which counted the number of murders per player' date=' and number of bandits vs survivors, and these numbers went up significantly since the bandit skins got removed. Unfortunately this thread got wiped out when forum was reverted from backup. You must have been extremely lucky then, because everyone I've talked to have experienced the same effect as I personally have.

It's desync. Just wait and it should go away after a while.

Bandit skins got removed, and there is no longer way to identify who are the murderers and who are the good guys. At the same time, any kind of consequence for mindless killing was removed, while trying to be friendly became riskier. Many people adopted kill-on-sight attitude, and that caused a snowball effect. Those friendlies that got shot in the head over and over again when trying to help other survivors, eventually adopted kill-on-sight too. Those of use who refuse to start murdering are just avoiding everyone but known friends, or stopped playing alltogether. From my recent deaths I can conclude that people who are now killing others on sight is about 90% of the players (from personal experience since bandit skin removal).

Hi, this is posted in the wrong area. Before you create a new thread, it is good to always read the sticky threads first (Please read this before creating a new thread). Thread moved to correct area.

A lot of other people are suffering and dying from hacks too, and the developer team is already extremely busy dealing with all the new server requests etc. I don't think they have time to revert individual characters at this point, unfortunately. I could be wrong, but this is my guess.

Moderators don't have access to the DayZ dabatase, and I doubt anyone's characters will be returned due to hacking.

What makes you think it is the admin that is using those hacks?

There is also another solution, and 100% free: Using VirtualDub. I used to record my games with that before moving on to Fraps. Good thing with VirtualDub is that you can select the codec which it uses to compress the video, and in many of the codecs you can select the compression level. Here's a (quite old) guide for how to use VirtualDub to record games: VirtualDub Game Recording Guide

Moved to troubleshooting.

You can also try to optimize it so that there is not a significant change to performance when using Fraps. I have Fraps running on one CPU core, while ArmA 2 running on 3 other cores. I also have Fraps recording on another hard drive than where I run ArmA 2 from. With these settings, recording is very small impact in-game.

I agree' date=' it's pretty annoying that 3dp and ch settings are not mandatory part of the server naming format. If we get the 3dp and ch as mandatory elements in the server name, we could see these things directly in the server browser. I've made a suggestion of change to the server naming to address this and other issues such as time zone here Server Naming

FatihSalihKiraci I've merged your 3 threads about the problems you are having with starting the game. Please stop creating new threads about it, and focus on this one. Some questions about your installation: 1) Where did you buy the game? Is it in Steam or DVD? 2) Do you get any errors when you are installing the game, or the latest patch to it? 3) If you have ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead separately, are you installing ArmA 2 first and then Operation Arrowhead?

You have to join beta server to ensure that everyone who is on the server is using the beta patch. Info and discussion about voice and text chat here: Voice & Text Communication
