So every time a spawn, I have the bandit skin on, even though my murders are 0. After about 10mins or so of playing the skin will randomly transform back into the survivor skin, completely wiping all the stuff in my backpack. Also whenever I get 1 murder, I get the bandit skin again (which I shouldn't) only for the stuff in my backpack to be wiped out after a further 10mins of playing, thus, making the game unplayable. Thanks Rocket, a lot of time has clearly been put into the testing of this patch. If anyone has fixes or is experiencing the same, frustrating problem, please post -.-

You have to manually download the patch

Ummm.... the current patch is 1.7.2.5

No, I have been playing the normal map?

So I recently died with my maxed character (m107, nvg's, cayote backpack, rangefinders, silenced m4, everything) due to moving in a bush which broke my leg and instantly dropped my blood to zero. So I decided to run back to my body at Stary sobor from the coast, I finaly make it, so I pick up all my gear and I am happy, after all the trouble I decided to log off because I needed a break, a feew hours later I log on and all of my gear is missing from my character and is at the point before I picked my stuff back up. Obviously this is an issue to do with character picking things up off the ground an it doesnt save instantly, like it should, but how long does it take for the items to save? TL;DR - I pick up all the loot from my body and log off, then when I log back on my gear is gone, what the heck just happpened...

Hey, so I have just found an m107 and it seems that when I try to equip it, my backpack just drops on the ground, and I am unable to have a bag whatsoever when holding this gun, this is the same issue i had with an m240 I found a while ago. I am not sure if this is a bug or just part of the game, but the weird thing is that I have seen people hold these guns in steams/videos and they have still been capable of having a backpack. Does anyone know whats happening or a way to fix this? Cheers

Ok so I found myself an as50, mp5 and cayote backpack today, and everything was going well. I decided to log out after an hour or so and when I logged back in, my backpack with everything in it and my as50 that was in my hands were gone. This isn't the first time this has happened to me and now to be competely honest i'm fucking mad. Before all you little forum smartasses spamming every post with "its alpha, its alpha!", this sort of problem shouldn't even be in an alpha! It makes the game completely worthless to play! I don't expect to play hours and hours of the game, just for some stupid fucking bug to reset all of my characters stuff, i'm over it. If its not hackers, its fucking bugs doing the same thing. Fix the goddam game Rocket, get the basics right. Time to take a long break from this game.... -1 Dayz player

AS50, where are you precious...? <_<

I recently was kicked off a server so I re-opened six launcher and it required an update, it completed fine, but now whenever I try join a server or simply open Arma 2 OA, it tells me: Cannot open file 'c:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\expansion\addons\weapons_e.pbo' All I can press is ok, and I have no idea how to fix it? Is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Please help! Edit: I managed to get into the in game server browser but when I try to join a server, it says: "You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependant on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus" Help!

same thing.

Exactly what happened to me, my friend was okay and could see a lot of people trying to join but got errors, now he has just got kicked nad now has the same problem as all of us -.-

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/44841-important-information-about-arma-2-oa-patch-162/ I dont know if this will help anyone but apparently we are being attacked by viruses or something from the update? get those scanners running people -.- .............

Just opened six launcher and all the servers are back to 1.7.1.5 whats happening?

Me too

An annoying one -.-

Any chance on fixing the bug where picking up an m107, as50 or m240 makes you unable to have a backpack? It would be greatly appreciated

yes this just happened to me, i tried looting an m107 and it just put my backpack on the ground you simply cant have both, very weird bug.

SInce the update that happened on six launcher just then, every server that I try to join just says battleeye initialisation failed... I have updated/reinstalled battleye but that didn't work... any ideas???? This shouldnt be my fault :L

Thanks alot, I didnt personally need to do step 3 or 4 though :\ thanks though! (:

Nice to know, I haven't seen that on every post in the forums.

It seems like every odd update makes the game unplayable... so frustrating...

Hello Lately after the release of 1.7.2, I have had trouble with the constant de-syncing of my local servers (australia/New zealand) this has been extremely annoying due to the fact that player/zombies do not move for quite extensive periods of time. This makes the game so hard to play and I was wondering if anything is being done to strengthen the Oceanic servers possibly? I know this is not happening on my side only because when I go to the player list everyone is de syncing by 10,000, also when I join american servers there is NO de-syncing whatsoever and player/zombies move smoothly. Please give us players down here some love! :(

Yes this is currently happening at the moment, cant even get into the game. Meh, what can ya do. <_<

Yeah, it still happens on them aswell
