Troll much?

If you run an Nvidia card, control panel, 3D settings, add Arma2OA to list, turn off threading, play game. Almost this exact thread title pops up every 12 hours at least lately.

Turning off threading for ARMA2 in Nvidia control panel worked for me. The frequency of these threads is silly.

thanks DMS, i've been lazy and haven't turned off that setting yet. now i've done the fix. finally. have some beans.

tents that are tarps, that are traps.... hmmm

I found a fortified camp like this high on a hill in the north once. On an adjacent hill they had a bus walled in with sandbags, and a few tents with what I believed to be scripted items. I wiped out those tents with grenades taken from the other camp, and moved on.

always wary of those zombie goats. looks shiny! the pile of money in front of my monitor grows.

It depends on the server for me. On one server (where I have a motorcycle), the places you name are unapproachable. On another server I was just on, no problems at all....

First tents, now vehicles too. There's a lot of time left before the standalone, I would be surprised if they didn't patch this up soon.

Plausible shotgun idea: Ability to empty both chambers of double barrel shotgun at the same time. Not so plausible shotgun idea: Ability to make or find sawed-off double barrel shotgun that can be holstered as sidearm. Sawed-off shotgun would have massive pellets spread with medium damage at close range for one man zombie crowd control, with damage decreased greatly at long range.

Vehicle saving is broken in 1.7.2.5, btw.... I can go days without finding vehicles and then find many in a row. I was even able to fix an ATV all by myself the other day. (Hours of walking involved.) I went 3 days without a single vehicle or camp and then found 6 vehicles and 2 small camps in 2 days. Persistence pays off. Definitely try different servers. I know where a motorcycle keeps reappearing on a particular server due to the bug. Too bad the server has barbwire grief on almost all of the best loot spots.....

I've still only had 2 hacker sightings, 1 bad, 1 "good". A game like this is in a constant state of flux. At any given moment a patch could remove our gear due to a bug or even possibly issue a global stat/gear wipe.

you got murdalized.

One word, motorcycle. I can buzz right up, and check for loot, before Zombie spawn. As soon as things get weird, on my bike again. I know this isn't 100% practical as motorcycles aren't easy to find, but I think it's worth trying if you have one.

I found where a motorcycle was on a server, and it keeps coming back to that spot. This bug sorta "ruins" vehicles in the game. I'm really looking forward to being able to save vehicles where I want them again.

Lately (I believe since 1.7.2.5 was released) I've noticed that one shot from my M16A4 ACOG when aimed at the area of the heart, upper chest, and neck area, seems to be a 1 hit kill on Zombies. I confirmed this last night, from multiple angles. Zombie facing me, zombie with it's back to me, zombie hopping, and zombie crawling. 1 M16 round = 3555 blood Zombie health = 4400 blood Can anyone confirm, deny, or explain this? Up until now I've reliably had to double click to close Zombie, when aiming center mass.

Don't type friendly. Use a mic! Some of us are friendly but also choose to avoid others to survive. Finding people to play with here on the forum is easy, but it's not as exciting as a random friendly team-up. I've only been able to confirm friendly twice while playing, otherwise I have been shot at for the most part. Also: FYI to those who posted steam names, not all of us use steam....

Yeah mike, maybe you need to choose servers more carefully. I've only died to a hacker once. Like a week ago. High pop PvP servers attract more scripters as bandit tears and sniper gawd tears taste the sweetest. If PvP is your main attraction to the game, you in turn attract more scripters.

another pitfall avoided by preferring not to seek PvP.... Still super weak if admins are doing this. Why are you playing if you don't want legitimate competition? You only get better be learning from your defeats and playing people better than yourself.

Yeah... it sucks. I was trying to get into fixing vehicles as a lone wolf, and this bug was ruining my best efforts. I found a motorcycle while looking for a bicycle last night, I hope it's there later as well.

I'm not crazy about the whole "only die from headshot" thing. ESPECIALLY if they are "infected", and not undead, and need a heart to pump blood. If you're going to go the headshot route, then you need to have a mechanic for all levels of body mutilation right up to a zombie being just a head.

Is that built in? "Some shots will 1 hit kill randomly."? I swear I had 1 shot kills back to back to back, with shots to the chest of zombies.

Ok admittedly, I'm not so tech savy that I know which things are handled by ArmaII, and which are handled by the mod. I made an assumption I shouldn't have. Come to think of it, maybe I've seen this since 96061, and not since 1.7.2.5 Either way, if it's true, it's a significant change IMO.

God forbid you get labelled a "fanboy"!

If you play alone, and want to survive, avoid people all together. Part of me wants to try to find random friendlies but i don't put any effort into it. I recently called a medic for the first time, and it seems medics are more and more popular.
