Yeah I don't think cooking is in the game yet. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can't do anything useful with that thing yet. About the "food also replenishes some thirst" thing: Take a look at the explanation for this over here: http://dayzdb.com/news/hunger-and-thirst-in-standalone greetz, Cake

Go away from the coast to the north. The chance of finding loot there is much higher. Often if you fall unconcious you won't wake up so don't bother to wait 45 minutes again ;) Loot is really rare at the moment because it's only spawning at a server restart. If you don't manage to get into the server right after a restart (which obviously is the case most of the time) there is almost nothing left at the coast. Just follow a road inlands away from the coast. Maybe not in the first, but surely i nthe second town you will find lots of loot. Also make sure to use the vincinity scanner as often as you can indoors. Some loot seems to float at positions you can't see or under tables and so on and most people just don't see it / loot it - even at the coast. Another thing to mention: If you get the message: "Your thirst is quenched" - Drink even more.. it just means you are just above a critical thirst value but not even close to full I hope that helps Greetz, Cake

I can't believe that loot spawn only at server start is intended. Maybe the loot system isn't in place yet - but I'm sure it will be.. or at least i hope so. It would suck to have to wait for a server restart and then run as fast as you can to the best loot spawns so you get there before other players. Would be like shopping on the day before christmas ^^

Characters will be wiped occasionally due to new updates or bugs. Some servers have a spawn bug so you start with a new character and your old one will be overwritten. Also some people experienced a character wipe when changing the gender in the main menu. Please don't ask here in the forums every time your character gets wiped what caused it - it will happen a lot On the other hand - if you know at some point what caused it you might file a bug report here: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/my_view_page.php (make sure the bug isn't already listed there. thanks!) greetz, Cake

Because all servers had to update, too. The game is unplayable at this state so my personal opinion is that he should fix this immedeatly no matter what troubles will cause this with servers, but maybe he's just too stupid to play the game himself so he doesn't know... -.-'

Arma II engine was build way too trustworthy. Nobody thought of a mod like DayZ. Now they got the problems. They will never fix this properly in Arma II. Live with the hackers or wait for standalone

There is a spawn protection. At least some sort of. You are in the debug forest or some other safe spot while loading. You'll then be "teleported" to the place where you logged out the second the "Setup completed... please wait" appears. This is normally just 2-3 secs until you see something

download arma free, play it. DayZ needs a little bit more so if arma free is not working good you can forget dayz

google "mildots"

here into the QQ box \_/

since ghillie suits are back in game they are not very rare :/

Well it's the fact that battleeye is too stupid to get even those. Those "hackers" don't need to develop more advanced techniques (but maybe they could?!).

Working for me (it takes a really long time though)

Hahahahahaha you failed

They already have control over their server. The can ban/kick ppl from it oO. If you'd disable hive then a cheater would go on a server without equip and is then killing everybody oO i don't really understand your points

Yes this has to be some kind of leak or so. FPS is slowly dropping for me too

Good. Then my UH1H is in the twilight zone now ;)

Black line? Do you mean the thing that looks like the end of the texture? Is there a way to see them at night`? What if you go past that line?

1 - This makes them scary as hell. I like it 2 - Nope it's fine for me too. It is not that easy to sneak through them but possible. I almost never attract zombies and I do a lot of elektro and cherno runs. It's just training 3 - wtf they've seen you running into that bush.. why should they stop chasing you then?! oO 4 - this is an arma engine bug. The dayz team can't do anything. 5 - look at 2

-.- i'm not even clicking on that link.. they should set up an official one but.. i don't like this

Maybe you got shot right in the moment you DCed

Take this map and you'll get exact coordinates: http://dayzdb.com/map

Do you mean Devil's Castle? It's not really a mountain.. :/ .. It's in the north somewhere at 068039

OH MY FUCKING GOD! Laughed hard :D Thanks for entertaining me.. and.. bye

It's nearly impossible to retrieve a bolt if you missed. If you hit the Zombie it is quite easy to find it again but still then there are some situations in which you won't be able to retrieve the bolt from the dead body. Sometimes the zombies are falling onto the bolt so you won't see it. I was really excited about the crossbow at first but now I even prefer a flashlight xD it's so much work to retrieve your bolts all the time :/
