About that. Me and my buddy killed a guy with a cayote backpack on the north firestation roof in elektro. His body somehow went into wall and we couldn't reach him. When we were about to head out, a coyote backpack spawned under our feet.

Yes, you are infected and it can be cured by taking antibiotics. You can't die from it. http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Status_Effects

You could start by adding these two too your launch parameters: -cpuCount=4 -maxMem=2047 After you've done that, head over to "C:\Users\<Your user>\Documents\ArmA 2" and open Arma2OA.cfg. Change/add the following: postFX=0; AToC=0; GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; Try adding/changing the first two, if you're still having trouble. Try adding/changing the last one as well.

What you should do is to try contacting his server provider and report him there. So instead of just blacklisting the server he could get in trouble there as well for possibly breaking their agreement on DayZ servers.

Of course you can. But what OP is talking about are the people expecting the game to be polished already then whining on the forums about how broken the game is. There's a difference.

Six Launcher should auto detect your paths if not entered. It did it for me at least.

You're not forced to update :)

Download and install this: ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_94876.zip It's taken from: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

I thought I read that 1.7.2.1 was official now. So SIX should be updating to it. But here's how you do it manually: Reminder: If Six wasn't updating it to 1.7.2.1 it will most likely downgrade it to 1.7.2 if your launching with it.

Well, they aren't finished with the mod. And new updates could break it easly. We are the ones to figure out if it did and what got broken. That's the whole point of us playing it. If you don't like that, you could always wait for the finished product.

Awesome! Glad I could help :)

I'm there. Try connecting now.

Still cheaper here for the exact same version: https://store.bistudio.com/arma2-combined-operations-steam-version

I can't join that one to check if there's any ingame message, sorry. You'll have to select a 1.7.2.1 one running 94876 if you want me to check :)

Which server are you trying to connect to? I can try joining it and see if there's some message ingame when you get kicked. US89? Oh, US89 TX isn't running 1.7.2.1 & 94876.

No, it shouldn't be a problem.

What versions are you running now of arma and dayz?

Weird :S I was sneaking around elektro yesterday without aggroing too much. By sneaking I mean crouching+shift. I just kept an eye on my visibility counter.

Like the people stating that Rocket should test his patches before releasing them. Well, that's what we are here for. We are the ones testing them for him. But as always, people ignore the words ALPHA & BETA. Doesn't matter how many times you throw it in their faces, they want to have a perfect game during those phases.

Also, did you get any other information when you got kicked? Or did it just say "Kicked."?

Six launcher should do the work for you. So you should just have to install Arma 2 & Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, then run Six.

Tried reinstalling the game from scratch?

I've been playing 1.7.2.1 since the first test version and I've not had any issues with it. The new aggro range was intentional I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.
