Could be a hacker. Also, I'd hide the IP if I were you.

Most Useful Weapon..Your Thoughts
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Meeshe's topic in New Player Discussion
The DMR. Yes, it's a semi-automatic sniper, but it fires literally as fast as you can click, so it's easy to spray even point-blank. If there's no crosshair, though, and you like going a little more up-close or simply prefer not using scopes, you could use the battle-rifle variant of the DMR, which is the M14 AIM. It's basically the same weapon with the same damage and fire-rate, except it has a reflex sight. (ACOG with red-dot.) Edit; Oh, and it knocks out in one hit to the chest/back. So it's a great stun-gun if you can aim. -
Day Z Key - read it all
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to hamish1001's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Protecting the key? That's your job. You don't leave anybody alone on your computer while logged in on anything, be it Steam, Facebook, your email, Skype, etc. Your password/account/key is your responsibility. If it gets banned, it's your fault. -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
It's best to write down and/or look up the errors you get. It'll help a lot on our side. -
Does sidechat ruin anyone elses game?
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to bad_mojo (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Forgot about that post. But I've learned since making that post that lowering VON doesn't affect Direct Communications channel. -
Will standalone get new forums?
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to bad_mojo (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Not all the community suggestions are great, even if they do get implemented. Or if you're(for some absurd reason) talking about me, specificly, the previous statement would be even more applicable. >.> Edit; Forum's been fine for me. -
Oculus Rift support might be coming a bit sooner
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Pledge a couple hundred bucks and you'll get an Oculus Rift of your own. Except that it's a prototype, and you have to put it together yourself. -
You're stuck with what you get and have to make the most of it. That's the point of DayZ.

How do you make this game look good?
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to scaramoosh's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Your FPS problems are caused because of your processor. ARMA 2 is very poorly optimized and has extra problems with the i7 series. Edit; No, no way to turn off fog, as it's something to simulate weather and limit everyone's view distance to the same value. -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Well. I tried. I'm no tech support and I haven't had that problem, myself. *Pays attention to class.* Edit; http://dayzmod.com/?Download Didn't find this worth another post, as it should be obvious. Maybe give PlaywithSIX a try? -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Steam\steamapps\common\ARMA 2\whateverexe.exe Steam\steamapps\common\ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead\whateverexe.exe Find those full paths and type the them in the game directories section in DayZ Commander's settings. I'm on my laptop so I can't check what the .exe files are actually called. arma2oa.exe, most likely. -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Redownload/install DayZ Commander. Or see where your ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: OA are installed to. -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Where did you download DayZ from? I'd recommend using the DayZ Commander, as well as use that to search servers. Because right now, it seems like either all the servers you are joining to are using different files, or yours are modified. Or you're missing the .bisign files. -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Only the same server? Try anywhere between 3-10 servers and see what happens then. Also make sure that the server isn't running on an older version, and isn't using any sub-mods like DayZ+ or DayZ 2017. -
Does sidechat ruin anyone elses game?
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to bad_mojo (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Yes, that is what some people seem to have told me. Gotta believe it since there's more than just 1-2 people confirming it. -
@DayZ file having to be moved/deleted when joining a server
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Military Derpy's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Are you sure it's a DayZ server and not a regular ARMA 2 server or some other mod? -
You should turn down your graphic settings. That lag is terrible to even watch on a video.

Your most testostorone-induced moment in DayZ.
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to critanium's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Two cases. First, the time I found my first SAW. Not the tool, the machine gun. At that point, I was the MAN. I owned everything in Chernarus. I was a ruler. (Spoiler: Server went offline 10 minutes later and hasn't been online since.) Second, the time I had been alive for 7 days in a row for the first time. Had a DMR, M24. (What a great combo, eh?) So I went on top of the roof of the fire station in NWAF, and called out to everyone in side-chat to come at me to kill me. I told everybody in the server, openly, my exact position. Sure enough, the first person didn't take more than 15 minutes to show up, and ended up dead. Next up was a pair of two, which was too much for me to handle alone. I died. But it was fun, and I wasn't expecting to live. -
Will standalone get new forums?
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to bad_mojo (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I truly hope you are being serious. That would be the best change on these forums in a long while, and would outshine all the whiny threads. -
You sir, are a horrible person. Is it a server you frequently play on? If so, you could always ask someone here on the forums to come to your location and shoot you. Or you could leave DayZ on and tab out to do something else while you starve. Or leave it on for the night.
-
In my experience, however, you can chat while in the 'You are dead' screen, and hear other people talk on any voice channel. Never tried using my mic while in the screen, so I can't say anything about that.

Dancing.Russian.Man replied to bad_mojo (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Welp. That's new information for me, then. I'll have to test it out myself, though, as much as I can take your word for it. -
My DayZ Standalone Suggestions
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to Draco122's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
- The zombies have been specified to being infected, not undead. Think "28 days later," this means that dead players turning into zombies wouldn't really be realistic. (Realistic in the sense that corpses don't start suffering from Cold or develop cancer after death.) - I do hope that we were given the option of looting clothing. Maybe the smell of blood and guts would make it less likely for zombies to aggro on you. (Like in The Walking Dead game.) - Chance of getting infected due looting zombies has already been announced, with the introduction of disease system. - I'd say this is also already going to happen. Can't recall if it was specified. -
Wait for longer. Try tomorrow.

F1 menu has been activated... little help here
Dancing.Russian.Man replied to arkaeldren's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Abilities* And no, hackers cannot allow other players to use hacks as far as I know, but I wouldn't be surprised. The server itself probably has the feature enabled. Which.. Now that I think about it, would make it possible for hackers to enable that feature anyway.(Edit; Reading back on this part, it sounds utterly stupid and nobody should have read it.) Either way, simply don't play there if you want to play safe. But you can't be at risk of getting banned for hacking as long as you don't use scripts.
