This is also affecting one of my friends, it isnt my setup, isp etc etc

I have also tried it with another connection as i have cable and ADSL, i am really fucked off with this now :(

Finally died last night… though I have to say it was rather amusing way to go out. I found a hatchback with no wheels, scouted the nearby towns and was quite surprised how quickly I was able to find 4 of them + a jerry can (1.5 hrs of zombie train killing fun in barns), after getting it moving I then set about picking up one of my mates in Cherno, as I approach Cherno I am thrown from the car after it appears I hit a tree in the road.. but there was no tree in the road, so a game bug threw me from the car and repositioned the car in a tree, cool. Anyway, my mate made it down from the roof of the building he was recon sniping from and dragged me to safety, as he had no epi-pen we sat waiting for my concussion to pass which felt like it took forever as we sat watching the car hopeful that nobody spotted it. Concussion over we approach the car and my mate who has never driven one before gets in and says, hey this thing is all red and we need industrial buildings for parts, let’s check over there as I didn’t see any other snipers… “ok” I reply, so we head into to the busiest part of Cherno off road in a hatchback, getting outran by zombies doing 2mph :-D we finally pull up at the Industrial building some 50 meters and 10 minutes later with another tow of zombies, as we’re seasoned fps gamers from CS and Quake they prove little resistance and we quickly set about looting the Industrial zone we’re now in. It’s evident from the first look in the building is littered with the equipment we need, some huge looking part I can’t remember the name of, windscreen glass, an exhaust, boom jackpot. As I am piling it in the boot I hear a round fire off and the next thing my screen goes black, headshot – you are dead, gutted. My mate now moves to the top of the building to scope the horizon with his AS50, he spots the guy but doesn’t shoot instead waiting to lure him out to my dead body, fortunately I get an Airfield respawn 1km away just down the road and I am already ¾ of the way back before the sniper pops his head out again, which was the last thing he ever should have remembered, as you’d imagine a 200m AS50 headshot would surely be your swift end? No it seems, but our mistake was not checking for the confirmed kill before we both loot my body at speed before getting in to the car to drive off into the sunset. I get in the driver seat and start moving off at an impressive 2mph, then boom a huge explosion and we’re flung from the car. It seems Mr sniper has hit the vehicle with what I can assume was a 50cal rifle and blown it to pieces, leaving us both with minimal blood, concussion and effectively killing us again, at this point we decide to die, respawn and go lick our wounds and head back to camp! So my nine day run came to an end but rather than arse about in fields staying alive and without committing any murders or having much fun, I had a blast in Cherno and went out with a boom! To the sniper, I’d love to know how you survived a 200m headshot but happy looting all the same, I had some quality shit in my inventory :) Yes yes its TLDR, but it was only yesterday i was loving life on page 1 and wanted to share my story.

Chances are someone took the decent stuff and left you the shit they dropped for bag space.

I am currently 9 days so far, i played it safe up until day 5 when i got bored of hiding in deer stands and fields and now playing life a little more on the edge. So far i've had successful solo ventures into NWAF barracks, Heli crash sites and the Stary military tents on various occasions for nothing more than than kicks, no murders to my name but thats only down to 3 different bandits rage-logging when i have heavily injured them after trying to track me from the above locations. I do have 400 zombie kills to my name though :)

Yep experienced the same thing a few times yesterday, just stick to busy servers :)

I opened the church door in Chernogorsk and it bugged with the tank trap stuck in its pathway (i couldnt see it) and dragged me into it and the door closed crushing me, most annoying :)

I use a 5 pence piece :)

Can we please get an update on this from a dev? its almost pointless playing until fixed :( i dont mean that in a whiney way and i appreciate its Alpha.. but if progress isnt saved and i return to almost the point i first reconnected at from the day before... i am no further ahead after 2-4 hours of play!

This game is the fucking nuts and the less rules they impose on gameplay and the harder they make the zombies to deal with, the better, yes tougher to deal with than they are now. The only critique i could offer is some attention to server switching and pvp disconnects.

Had the same thing today. I stopped near a Deer Hut not to far from Vbor to loot it + check inventory and eat/cook food etc. I then ran over to NW Air Field, killed a bandit and looted Barracks (the ones west of the airfield), retreated from the Barracks to the field under no pressure (no further players engaged etc), headed back towards Vybor and then disconnected in a bush for a break. I have returned later to find i am back at the Deer Hut near Vybor with the progress of the last two hours lost.

I have a friend on a similar system, he had to tweak his game setting somewhat but it plays 'ok' or thereabouts :)

I can see i am dealing players with a below average IQ, so i am going to save myself the hassle and let you idiots further discuss why this game is going to fail.

Yes, how many games or mods ever see a public Alpha test? The game developers are using feedback from all of the changes they make to steer the game in the direction they want. Creating posts about how you are concerned about a game failing during its Alpha testing, is flat out stupid. By all means go to the suggestions forum and make some suggestions, i am sure the devs would be grateful, this however is an example of how not to make them.

If i was a moderator i would simply reply ALPHA and lock this thread.

I play with anything between 2-5 other mates from Quake/CS where we all originated, some of us going back 10-12 years. Even though its a lot of fun in numbers and scouting and cleaning loot out of the big North West Military base being fun, i cant help but feel my enjoyment of this game is x10 when you are 'lone wolf' as they call it. Tonight i am going to do a few hours on my own as last night we got a little careless in numbers and all but one (me inc) ended up dead.

I have only been playing a few days myself but... To obtain said weapons 1. Stay away from Zombies or go prone and take your time. 2. You only need supermarkets for the survival basics, which you can find in other supermarkets in villages or smaller towns rather than the two biggies where every shoot on site type player is waiting to do you in the back. 3. You may if you are lucky find a Winchester or alternative in said supermarket. 4. To obtain a decent weapon, loot a few essentials then gtfo off the coast and head up into the country, check dayzmap.info for deer hut locations where with a minor bit of fortune you should find yourself a nice AK or equivalent. Whilst on your way to said deer hut, dont run across open fields, crouch & run through the tree lines. Just remember that near some deer huts you will find a few zombies waiting. And if you do happen to see a Heli crash site, go prone and watch it for a minute or two and check tree line for snipers!

I came across a helicopter site last night with two FN FAL's with the NV scope.. shame i had one in my back pack (already had a DMR equipped), the ammo came in useful though!

I feel like i should apologise to the guy i shot last night in Chernogorsk, no idea who you were as i didn’t wait about to find out. It was during the period where it was working. I had died the day before and spent the evening collecting some useful items before heading out of town to the dear huts, fortunately i'd found a winchester. As i headed towards the hospital in total darkness i checked the road up to the hospital looking left and then right, as i turned right i see a player staring down iron sights at me of his gun, instinctively i lined up and shot him but then realised if he'd wanted to kill me i'd have been dead already. Unfortunately due to the nature of the game its shoot on sight or die and I didn’t want to take the chance, sorry anyway :)

Glad everyone shares my view, i feel less bad now :D

I felt bad after i did it, even if his intentions were good. Hope he realises next time to put the gun away and just stand there, i would probably do the same going in future cases now.
