But i will however answer OP's question, as its no secret and its the exact same way as in the mod :) When you are ingame type in: #beclient guid And it will give you your GUID. Now theres no easy way to copy it (as far as i know?) so you are gonna have to write it down, either with pen or paper or notepad or something along those lines. This number will NEVER change, so you might aswell write it down for the introduction of private hives with whitelisting. If they can do it, everyone can do it, so as far as we know this "feature" is already ready and waiting, which in it self is a pretty nice thing tbh. But i cant understand why such a community would do something like that, on a public server, for the sake of RP.

He is right. Look at this from they're website Source: http://www.dayzrp.com/ I guess its time to report then.....

Is this even a question tbh? This has been needed from the very beginning and can only be mentioned, as a core feature of this game :) We need this so bad, it HAS to be in the game by release, it simply has to, its to important to leave out. It doesnt matter when we get it, as long as its there by full release tbh.

No thanks :) Remember the Cherno fire glitch from the mod?

No private servers atm mate, and no ETA on it yet im afraid. Play the waiting game and join public for some "fun", or leave the game alone for some months :)

Hmm im thinking PP-2000 :) As far as i can tell it uses the 9mm ammo, which is already ingame and its already a standard Russian police weapon. Just listen to this: But the Bizon isnt a bad suggestion either :) EDIT: I really hope its not the MP5, it seems so generic and misplaced, compared to most of the other weapons tbh.

People are just to lazy, its much "faster" to write a rant on the forums ;) But +1 for the effort mate, more people should use the tracker tbh.

But yet the mods tells us on a daily basis to not write these "one liners". Im just saying, this is not a yes or no question, and other people are told to elaborate when they write answers like this.

And its gonna be awsome, but a good map takes years to make, so dont hold your breath to much ;)

Im sorry but people are getting warnings for doing exactly what you did right there.... 9) Unnecessary posts: Posting "don't care" or "so what" or any posts along those lines are unnecessary, inflammatory, and do not add to the discussion. Please ellaborate, like the rest of us are doing, your a mod so set a better example tbh.... We get told this on a daily basis, so it should apply to everyone. @OP Its really hard to say "which one is better", as the core mechanics in each is very very different. As far as i can see, the mod is alot more run'n'gun PVP focus, with tons of vehicles, weapons and resources. The SA is trying to do things differently, with more complex core mechanics (blood, energy, water, food, etc.) and its also trying to make everything more difficult to find. In general, it looks like the SA is going for a more "survival game" feel, then the mod ever had, but its so early in development its just to early to say which is best tbh. It took a long time and a lot of effort to get the mod to where it is today, and the same can be said for the SA :) But do remember, most of what you find in the mod, is a direct port from Arma or from an Arma mod, most of the "developers" arent developers, they merely copy paste stuff around. (ofc not all, some are true developers and write up alot of code for the mod) The SA, is being build from scratch, with new assests and almost nothing already existing in Arma, its a much much bigger task then making any mod.

I cant wait for the inevitable "1000 vehicles | Full Start Gear" server crap, because it will give the people who are playing this as a pure-PVP game, the correct place to be for insta-action. Its gonna be so nice, when we finally have vanilla servers, with people who actually wants to do more then just run'n'gun all day, every day. This game is about so much more then PVP, the core concept is player interations, choices and consequences, and to be frank, shooting anyting that moves, is not interaction, its just your regular generic shooter game tbh. And as long as everybody shoots everybody, all the time, there arent any player interactions and the concept of the game is lost. Dont get me wrong, i will never set foot on a server like that, i did once and i crashed 5 Ospreys in 20 mins, just for the hell of it, it has nothing to do with DayZ, as far as im concerned :) However, its gonna be nice to park all the ADD kids, who play this game as COD/BF/CS (whatever), on these servers so the rest of us can actually enjoy the game, as its ment to be enjoyed. And no, theres no reason to start anything like "I HOPE THIS NEVER COMES" or "WHY Y DO DIS", it will happen and we all know it, its inevitable. The only way to stop these servers from popping up, is to remove modding completely from DayZ, which will never happen. Ohh and whitelist, for the love of god i want whitelist :)

Ahh i see :) Yes make sure your ports are open in the router, some routers require it to be done manually :) I do believe DayZ is using the same port range as Arma II and III does, it can be found here: http://findports.com/document.php?tag=arma-ii

DONT set up a DMZ unless you know what you are doing, basicly you are giving the entire world acces to your PC, through the DMZ mate. And theres no range on a DMZ, at least not when it comes to ports, its purely IP based and it basicly opens all ports, to the selected IP. I would recommend updating your firmware to the latest version and have a look at the router settings. Stuff like Anti-DDOS can make this happen and can safely be disabled, as private DDOS attack are very very rare. But a DMZ is a last resort tbh, it will leave your computer defenseless against "intruders". EDIT: You can also make sure the game is allowed in your firewall, dunno if you are using Windows, some other software or your firewall is build into the router.

I think it will be quite easy to see if people died of starvation or by poinson tbh. But i see your point, so it would be better if it was something like: "Player has big wounds and was likely shot by a large caliber weapon" "Player is basicly skin and bones, he/she must have died of starvation" "Player doesnt have wounds or is underweight, not sure what caused this" Would be awsome if it was suttle hints and you had to kinda put 2 and 2 together yourself.

Good old times lol....

It could be that the BE master server is down for maintenance/banwave/update/whatever reason. So when your client tryes to connect it cant and you get a "failed to update". It sounds like thats the problem atm, especially when you are manually updating it and it still fails, for what ever reason. Hopefully BE is prepping another ban wave, and it will all be over soon :) I dont think you can do much else then wait atm guys. But ofc, im not a BE dev so i cant be sure :)

Thank god they arent dead then ;) I dont mind faster zombies, but i do mind having to spawn and instant run from Zombies tbh. They should either move the spawns, further into the "nothingness" of Chernarus, or make sure the player is invisible to zombies for 10-20 seconds after spawn.

Only Battleye can help you mate. You are gonna have to wait for them to reply and hope for the best tbh. Unless you want to create a new steam account and buy DayZ again really.

Theres no private sservers in the standalone yet, you have to rent one from one of the GSP's mate :) You can find a list of the GSP's in the server hosting rule post: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/

Tbh im not sure, but you can always install the newest driver and try to update your DirectX, like i suggested. I cant think of much else to do :/

Naah, you are gonna have to upgrade to a new card soon anyway, if you want to play anything tbh :) You can get decend cards to a very fair price nowadays.

Its very important to have the correct software installed, if you want your PC to run well :) But read my edit, in the post above mate, think you missed it.

Ok, have you tryed installing the latest driver for your graphics card? Try updating your DirectX aswell mate. EDIT: Just noticed your graphics card is below the minimum requirements, if im not mistaken Minimum: Nvidia Geforce 8600GT or ATI Radeon 3650 or faster with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM Yours: 256MB ATI Radeon X1650

If its giving you issues mate, you can always try out speccy :) But yeh, all specs are needed tbh, its impossible to give you an accurate answer atm.

But the outernet is so scary :P
