In regards to the Alt + F4 and logging out to escape death, why don't we copy another online game, you may of heard of it, Runescape. In runescape you can not logout if you are in combat, I was thinking that you can't logout if you have been shot in the last 5-10mins and there are agro Zed's within a certain range of you and if there are survivors shooting withing a certain range. Aswell, once you logout there is like couple of minutes cooldown before you can join another server, unless it's the one you just left. The only problem I can see with tracking which server you go on is that some people might not have good internet connection so they have to go to a million servers before they find one that is stable and not dysncing. I have ADSL2+ so I'm not one of these people. What do you guys and gals think?

Ok, I shall help you since I was in the exact same boat. Now a person from the DayZ team put this up: "Do not use SixUpdater! Clean Arma2 X installation update to ArmA2 CO 1.60 official (707MB) update to Arma2 93965 beta Install DayZ 1.7.1.5 alpha (14 files go here -> .../Arma2/@DayZ/Addons) Start Arma2oa with the beta shortcut Check "beta" and "@DayZ" ingame Play on servers saying DayZ 1.7.1.5 and beta 93965" http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=23085 1. What you need to do is get rid of six updater/launcher. 2. Completely uninstall ARMA 2. 3. Then install ARMA 2 plus the expansions. Once both of those are installed I suggest launch ARMA 2 and combined operation. 4. Next you will want to download and install ARMA 2 CO 1.60 patch. Which can be found here: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?Itemid=20 again run both to make sure they are working. 5. You will need the ARMA 2 beta patch next, you need 93965. Can be found here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ again run both. 6. Then download DayZ 1.7.1.5 from here http://dayzmod.com/downloads.php I prefer torrent. You should end up with 14 files. 7. Put those 14 files into the following directory (for retail version/ different for steam) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\@DayZ\Addons" note: in the "ARMA 2" folder create a folder called "@DayZ", than within the "@DayZ" folder create a folder called "Addons" 8. In the ARMA 2 directory their will be a file called "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" right click and go to properties. Now, change the target to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@dayz" 9. Now run the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" and the game should launch taking you to the main menu. Check that it has @DayZ in the top right and check that the version is 93965 in bottom right. 10. If it shows @DayZ and the correct ARMA 2 version than it should work.
