So guys I found a heli crash near Veresnik and when I approached the heli my game crashed, and whenever I join a server my game keeps crashing! D: I don't want to be blacklisted on the hive for disconnecting! Can a mod or someone pelase help me? EDIT: I also get those weird graphical glitches aka planes/lines.

Oh ok, I'm currently inside a different lobby and I'll try to join and move away from the heli, because in the end, the heli crash site might be bugged.

I think that I finally got rid of the bug. I updated to 1.7.2.4 and my char fell once again unconscious, so I waited 5 minutes till it goes away and then I went to Berezino to loot the grocery store, went up into the woods and successfully disconnected. Now upon login my char didn't fall unconscious :D I guess it's fixed?

Dude I'm at 12k blood now, and my char still keeps falling unconscious. I think my char got bugged by the new patch because when this happend the server updated itself to 1.7.2.4 and I was still playing on 1.7.2.3 I guess I was the first victim to get struck by the new update? Anyway, I'd like a Dev to help me out because I don't feel like killing myself only to reset my character stats and hopefully fix the knock out bug.

Actually it was my mistake, it was laggy and I threw a frag grenade and the frag grenade bounced back, so I Alt+F4 because I was at 900 blood. Than I waited for my friend to come and fix me up and since than I keep falling unconscious :/ So you are telling me that I acted like a bitch because I wanted to save my ass from my own mistake? I don't think so.

It's insane! There are big flames over Elektro, most of the entrances in the industrial areas are covered with barbed wire and sandbags and even tank traps! Proof:

Driving on the main road while being chased by a hacked A10 instead of going off road and headign into the woods? *sigh*

Hmm, interesting update. But here is my suggestion for the "Alt+F4" and "Server hopping" issue, you can basically use one already existing mechanic in DayZ. So the idea is to use the "Are you inside a forest" detection, so just copy/paste the code from the wood harvesting function. But how does it work? Well basically this feature would track the players location, so if the system detected you inside the forest it wouldn't add a penalty after logging out, but if you ran around the NW airfield and you heard someone shooting at you, and you being on of those "Alt+F4 -ers" you would Alt+F4, and as the system would see that you didn't properly disconnect from the server, it would add a basic penalty e.g. 5 min login timer or something like that. But there would still be a problem for the players who disconnect in cities and there is a really easy fix for that issue, simply add a "Did your character move?" mechanic and that's it. Because players who logout properly, they find a nice spot and than they press Esc -> Abort -> Disconnect which lasts a few seconds, and when you disconnect in panic you don't have the time for finding a comfy place to sit down and properly disconnect, you only have the time to Alt+F4. I hope you get the idea, if not, I'll try to clarify. Although, the "Are you inside a forest" mechanic needs a little bit of polishing because it fails to detect whether you are in a forest or not.

You are not the only one bro, there are hundreds of streamers that stumble upon hackers. e.g. Yesterday I was playing with my friends and we heard someone open up a soda can, it wasn't us, so we went outside to check and the Admin teleported to us wearing camo, a red beret and an AKM. He started shooting and spawnign stuff so we just left. If Rocket doesn't get a better protection against script kiddos and whatnot...than we are fu**ed!

There is even hacked gear in Elektro, I didn't take anything because you can get banned.

So I was on DE 181 15 minutes ago and found a tractor, I went to Pustoshka to re-fuel it and find some spare parts to repair the engine. I saved the tractor 032 073 and went through Myshkino and than wanted to hide my tractor near Sosnovka when all of a sudden a hacker teleported me into their camp, teleported me out of my tractor and put me back on the original location before I got teleported into their camp. I saw another vehicle, I think it was an URAL or something and a few other guys were crouching in camo suits. So they stole my tractor and the gear it was in it, but there were only Jerry cans and engine parts inside the Tractor so I'm not worried much about it. I haven't had time to take a picture inside their camp because the whole process lasted like 1,5 seconds, I don't care about the tractor just ban the guys who did it. And here is the player list at that time:

This hacking thing is getting out of control! If Rocket doesn't come up with a good solution to eradicate these "script-kiddos" than my dear friends, we are literally ******!

It's server sided i.e. on some servers it will lag like hell on others it won't.

It's server sided dude. Try switching servers it worked for me, e.g. on "LU 177" I get <20 FPS and on other servers like "LU 208/209/210" I get over 40-50 FPS, but do note that big cities like Cherno or Elektro will affect your performance. If that doesn't work try using some RAM 'freeing' programs to flush unnecessary memory and than set the Video Memory -> Very High/High as it will mainly focus to process Arma2 OA and use the cfg settings that te other users posted above. btw. it's Alpha, what can you expect from an Alpha version? Nothing much, eh? Hope it helps :)

So 2 days ago I logged out in the appartments in Cherno and yesterday when I logged in it reset my character and I had to start fresh. I've been looting good gear for almost 2 days and a few minutes ago I logged in and it rolled me back 2 days i.e. to the old character in Cherno appartments... NOTE: I did not play on a private hive server! I've played this morning on different servers and than I logged out in Berezino. Additional info: -DayZ version 1.7.2.3 -Arma2 beta patch 95054 -BattleEye up to date ^ Player ID: 41146374 EDIT: After waiting for 5 mins I finally got into a server, but still the same old character.

So guys here is my suggestion for the crafting, here are some 'logical' and simple items that can be made. There should be an object that would allow you to craft items, like an anvil or a workbench. -The "Shotgun Shell Bomb" http://www.totse2.com/showthread.php?6381-Shotgun-Shell-quot-Bomb-quot-(People-Pleaser) -The Cut bloodbag attracts zombies when thrown -In the Molotov recipe you keep the JerryCan(empty) but it's empty -In the flamed arrow recipe you keep the JerryCan(empty) -In the Cut bloodbag you keep the Hunting Knife
