On the few occasion i have had to resort to using a crowbar i have had a similar issue, I drop it and pick ut up again and then press R and whack about till i find a better weapon. Never seen the point of it tbh, but I am not a melee player, and I have a real life phobia against Hatchet wielders now, Thanks Dayz!!

Try updating, reset P.C. when I say update I mean everything dayz, beta, BE, everything. Some of you know about DayZ Commander and the update function within the program, I find this the better method. Double check everything. Remember to update and reset P.C. and then have a go with different servers, check you internet speed, Other wireless devices etc. and always go for low ping servers. Owt further than my location and I get the usual waiting to create' and loading screens taking ages.

I recall one of the basic rules was to create a profile and run Arma 2 first before trying DayZ. However last night a friend had installed it, he didn't reset after installation and updates. I had to get him to update DC again as the downloaded version was obviously not updated to the latest versions. After this he reset his P.C. all was O.k I have also had the BE issue telling me it was not active or failed to blah blah, I just went and updated it again no issues since.

Google Hmmm.

I'm not being Bum Lick Crawly but It's good to know what you guys are dealing with and I can understand the frustration also. Most Posters are aware of this but some just want to make it an issue. I noticed Rogue troopers negative attitude also through many other posts and was getting sick of seeing the drivel he was spouting, But on the other hand it is his opinion and he is entitled to it. However I did not like the fact new players were asking simple questions and he was all "Don't play this game" while he claimed he was not playing wheres the point in posting if your not helping? I can usually tell also which other posters are in a world of hurt whether through hackers or just because they can. This is the way of the world and Internet privacy will allow people to be that way, there isn't a forum or group in the world who does not have strongly opinionated people. As you stated there are hackers and they are out to spoil the Mod, Don't let them spoil it, there are many ways of not running into hackers mentioned many times in many posts. For me (and this is serious) I sometimes run around looking to be shot so I can start again from scratch as I find the real fun from being a new spawn and the challenge of finding the best gear. My longest life was 2 month long and it gets stale after a while so a new spawn makes the Mod all the more better. More new content is making the Mod better and this was partially the point of the mod, for the community to run with it and see what happens. I am now looking into map making as I have with other games I have played and enjoyed, It may take a while but there is a genuine need and a great community to flow with both Arma 2 and DayZ. Good things are going to happen to DayZ and I can proudly say I have contributed and helped people from when it started (Almost) I don't know if its age or wisdom but, If you can't see the potential of this Mod then that's o.k, but please don't advertise your stupidity.

Aww this was so familiar, I now actually play on Takistan as a Killer. I too did not meet any like minded friendlies until I was armed. Thing is, You will have to do this sometimes anyway whether they are armed or not, It's kill or be killed. If you want a group of friendlies you can join one, however outside of your friends and team mates your not really given much option to be a nice guy. Since Chat was brought back into the New maps etc I have found a hell of a lot more people out there who are willing to team up and be cool about it because they can Communicate. Don't feel sorry for the guy, shit happens, as I'm sure he / she well knows.

You know I watched this video and thought why are all the other players mostly unarmed? a group of 3 or 4 players chatting and laughing together made me think of 16 year old playing together. Then i realised you were just out having a laugh, and I laughed my fucking arse off along with every "Crossbowww" Very well done.

I think DayZ is having the desired effect it was made to. There are lots of clans in Bandit camp fire and Survivor HQ as I'm sure your aware, just ask about you'll be in a team already. In fact, anyone reading this in the OP's area please give him a hand and help him out (I'm U.K. based) Lets not lose another potential player, He could turn out to be your saviour when your legs are broken and your miles from meds. I also recommend you master the "Z" key when You approach places by the sound of it your getting killed by a lack of practice. You'll only get better the more you play.

O.K, I want to Host DayZ from my P.C. and play at the same time. I want to invite friends also, just like you would host other games. How do i do it, I am not wealthy enough to pay for a server and I would only have 5 - 10 players at once. Can this be done? I haven't seen any posts for this only server rental ones etc. Does this even come under private hive?

Cheers much appreciated,

I have never found a .50 cal weapon in months of playing. It's something to work towards I suppose.

Can you eat them? That is the only viable information I want to know! More food sources is a good thing.

I play in the following manner: Chernarus - Medic Takistan - Killer Lingor - Bit of killing and medic'ing and selling ice creams Utes - Is there a point to this game? Next map - Serious psychological problems. Mugging, Torture, slave trader. Zombie Tamer. I like to break up my playing as it offers the best of a good mod

Some good question I would like to know the answers to. I have noticed the same thing on many an occasion. But while they are working on these issues I am glad as they allow me to enjoy it. I think the main reason is due to the work on the standalone, a lot of things wont be done to the public Hive due to work on this front. and BE allows certain things because of the base DayZ is built up from. There are other Mod's beside DayZ and I'm sure others will need certain scripts to run properly. Just a case of nearest best thing that allows the original idea to work from. Rocket has said the Code can only be changed so much, hence the need for a standalone as a seperate entity. Just theory really

So I'm assuming there is no way of doing it then. Shame really as it would be a good idea.

But someone had better tell him the Zombies don't actually move!!

You'll have a better experience by doing things for yourself as opposed to reading some comments by angry posters especially those who purchased a game and didn't get what they wanted (Usually 10 year olds) Don't forget Arma 2 has more to offer than just DayZ, go and enjoy it. There are a load of servers and maps to choose from, don't worry about the hackers, believe it or not you can still have fun and a satisfying experience irregardless of hackers. Mentize has some valid points, good to know and cheers.

Yeah, Don't blame rocket and co, they used a platform to make a better Mod / game from. They did not allow access via script usage in the base program. They have worked on finding a solution however it's called a Standalone, If you don't like playing the Mod in it's current form, give it some time and for the love of god STOP with the complaining and moaning. I admire those who take on the hackers / script kiddies, Goes to show you can do something about it however limiting the case may be. I did give up for 2 weeks due to the glitching but not the hackers. Carry on and stay calm. I don't mind people complaining about hackers as they are only making themselves look like idiots, there are other servers they are not on and also ways and means of beating them at their own games and if you take it so serious then perhaps this Mod is not for you? But judging by the amount of Hacker complaints there are some people who need to step back and realise it is only a game. If you are so attached to it then you need to get out more and taste the variety of Life. Op, good tactics and don't give an inch. I am surprised I have survived as long as I have without any of the gucci kit most other players seem to need in order to have a great experience. Good job I don't take a Mod gameplay as serious as some. Lots of Love.

Thank you for clearing that up, Shame as a proven player list would be great. but then again you couldn't guarantee any playing style really could you? so there is no such thing as a stable player. Thanks again!

Bump!

Did not see this, was this posted on the forums? My apologies if it was, but, there's nothing new there is there? These things were mentioned a while ago as possible things and things they hoped they would do! I have not seen any pictures nor footage of gameplay, to me it's strange as the standalone is supposed to be out soon (something to wet the teeth if you know what I mean) That may be too much to ask for perhaps, due to the dev side and a few paragraphs on stuff we already know or heard about does not give me any new info at all. Seen a lot of recent interviews while Rocket was out and about. I follow the news re this mod /standalone but seeing something would be nice. What I have seen and actually witnessed is a community working to minimise hackers and adding new content, hence why I think the mod will live on in some guise of form. As I said perhaps this is too much to ask for, I'm just dying to see the SA stuff.

Sorry if that sounds twatty but I love the mod!

Why are you playing it now? Thats why some will play it after SA. Its a mod things may not be updated but things will change and new content generated because the new alpha SA will not incorporate new ideas as quick or with as great a following. It is a stated a great platform to bounce ideas from. The mod will Die as far as rocket may let it, but remember why you are here, there is no info on the standalone, nothing bar assumption and hopes. If DayZ is going to be fresh and new, I wanna see and be informed about it. For now i'll go with what I know.

I doubt the mod will die! I will play it until I get bored of it, there is a community outside of Rocket and co, Lingor came out due to someone being bored with chernaurus. I'll wager there will be more community content along those lines. Some of that content is good. Yes I find it playable now in its current form and look forward to the SA! But more choice will come from the community. No offence to Rocket but he's one team working on an original idea where as the other groups out there can run with what rocket won't do. Yes they may be limited with what they can do, but there will be a need for new stuff rocket may not provide! Mod good, keep the mod, it is a sand box? Support may stop but like Rocket took an existing platform, others will continue the work. Yea that's my opinion

No worries, scratch me from the list and sorry for any mis-understanding. Until I'm up with TS, Steam and other contact methods It's just PM to friends for now! Cheers
