Yeah i understand.. hence why i think this post or one like it should be a sticky/pinned! I come from from playing Arma 1 & 2 for years.. so for me it was just another free mod for my much loved Arma series. Didn't hear or know about any hype.. i'm oldish and don't exactly have my finger on the social pulse! I was wanting to warn new players as much as tell them to get their fingers out of their arses :)

I logged in recently in a thicket about 800m from Stary Sobor... it was dark, i turned on my NVGs... I knew i was in a dangerous area, the server was full, so i sat there and listened and watched out for any bandits/survivors close to me.. i kept on hearing those little cracks and russel of branches.. I was crippled with paranoia, convinced there others only feet from me in the bushes.. i spent about an hour travelling about 200m and achieving nothing, I actually enjoyed it.. but all i did was crawl from bush to bush stopping and listening & watching for others. I was not waiting in ambush.. All i wanted to do was get to a safe area..but nowhere felt safe.. :)

Changes every time.. but i like the west side for all the deer stands & i tend to hit Zelenogorsk for its market for things i may have missed on the coast... but all depends where i sapwn

Now now children. The official site works for me right now. Should work for you.. if not, maybe try another browser.

You router is likely being 'flooded' by server communication requests. This kind of problem is quite common when using a multiplayer server browser. Its a security 'feature' on the modem/router that thinks your system is under attack. I'd do a Google search for such a problem in relation to your router/modem type. There are different ways to fix this depending on your hardware. This is my guess... but worth looking into.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll try and join you on TS sometime. I won't put in an application now, as just like you want to hear me on TS i want to get to know/hear you too. :) Right now I'm heavily armed.. M14, M249 & NVG and am looking for some revenge on some bandits! Teaming up with some other with good intentions sounds great.

Ok i just found a heli site with 3 beauties at it.. AS50 with no ammo.. M14 EP1 with 3 clips FN FAL ANPV S4 with one clip. I only had a shitty Czech Backpack.. so could only carry one and put one in pack. Its the 1st time i've found either the FN FAL ANPV S4 or AS50.. I decided to leave the AS50 as it had no ammo. I've just logged out with the FN FAL ANPV S4 in my pack.. i hope to god its there when i log back in! Maybe i should have had in my hand when i logged out... but i decided the more versatile M14 would be better for all around..hmmm What would you have done?

I try and play on the same sever every time.. so depends when i log in.

Hmm i may have messed up then.. i thought the ANPV S4 was a IR scope.. is it just night vision? I already have NVGs.. Oh well lesson for the future. I'm not a bandit.. well not intentionally, so not much of a sniper. Hmm the AS50 would have been good for counter sniping.. doh. I probably should have taken that. The weapon in my pack will probably vanish anyway :)

Yes. Murders equal low humanity i assume... But what equals good humanity? Helping others? What about bandits helping each other? That should not increase humanity levels..

I need to know if this is a common problem, it's not happened to me before. I had two rifles, an AKM & a MP5A5. The MP5A5 was in my pack.. i had used it several times, switching between it and my AKM. I logged out and when i logged back in the next day i had 10 empty slots in the backpack and no MP5A5. Is this a common bug? As it will influence greatly how i play.. I was using the Czech Backpack. Luckily the MP5 is pretty crap..but as i'm searching for heli sites right now I'd hate this to happen to a really rare beast. (I've already lost a Bizon & M14 through putting them down and them disappearing) Cheers.

Ok cheers mate, So it worthless trying to keep two rifles?

No. On server restart helis respawn in random locations.. but once looted they remain empty.

I think if such episodes are scarce enough it's a great idea. And would add a lot to the game.

:beans:

Arma is the only engine where you cant throw a stone across the map. Simple.

I found a bicycle in a shed recently... was fun, silent and fast to get around on. But generally i just trek.. i don't trek from a location on one side of the map to the other.. i visit every interesting place on the way. Its the journey not the destination that i enjoy! The NW airfield is a death trap.. i prefer deer stands & heli sites for my military loot.

I'll lick you.. only if you pour beans over yourself 1st...

Ok.. I'm in some trouble. I bumped into a fellow survivor who shot 1st but not last! Our little gun fight also brought a lot of Zeds to me..while i lay with broken legs and bleeding badly. I survived, and luckily had a morphine on me. I have no matches.. so hunting is not an option to get my blood up. (I have knife & hatchet). I had 4 tins on me so i ate them all.. I'm outside Zelenogorsk, wanting to get to the market for supplies, i'm on 1,800 blood and am passing out every few minutes. Not sure what the hell to do. I'm worried if i go into the town i'll pass out with Zeds around me...but i have no other option. So i have a few questions: At what level of blood will i stop regularly passing out? Will my actions affect how often i pass out? Will a Zed get aggroed by me if i'm passed out and they see me? What would you do?.. i wont suicide. Thanks

Yay.. i can see! :thumbsup: :beans:

Not working.. don't worry, thanks anyway.

I tried to PM you....think you have your PMs turned off. I don't use steam. Cheers.

Good idea.. going in in the dark. (i'm not limited to crawling.. i've fixed my leg.. but if i run i'm gonna pass out with Zeds on me!)

Thanks that is really helpful. I was really hoping the level was 2000 blood when i'd stop passing out..that way one tin of food n the market would have been enough. I agree, if i had of spawned near Cherno or Electro i would not have left without matches... but i didn't so decided to head for Zelenogorsk for the missing supplies.. unfortunately ran into him jumpy on the way. I'm just gonna have to crawl in super careful and hope to god there are some matches in town or a ton of cans.. its a bitch of a town to not agrro any Zeds in.. but i might be lucky. I'm on the right side to get to the market. Regarding banditry.. i'll have to kill anyone i see...survival time right now. Normally i wouldn't.. but i want to live! I'll use my MP5SD6 with one clip to kill any Zeds i have to on the way in, I also have a AKM with plenty of ammo.... wish me luck, i'm gonna need it. :)

Everything you say points to your CPU as a bottleneck.
