I'm sorry "real shooter" uber asshole who doesn't realize he is playing a survival horror game, I can't hear you over how much I don't give a shit. You sound far more butthurt by SOMETHING to be such a perfect killing machine. Odds are, you're not even in the top 10% of the best snipers in this game. You're just another murderous snob with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. My idea of fun is not the same as other peoples idea of fun; only difference is, I can handle that concept, whereas most internet tough guy shit for brains like yourself can't. I'm also not a gear snob, not for bike, my cameras, my guitars, or in the video games I play, it's a boring. My M16 are PDW just fine for now, thanks.

95883 seemed extra buggy, I had spawned on the coast a couple of times running that version but never lost my stuff or changed skins. I decided to roll back to 95417 for awhile until the latest patches were sorted out. Today I made the leap to 95913 and I spawned properly, in the last place I saved.

22 Days, way to go man, now beat that! (And bring me a GPS when you find one again, thnx.)

Yes. 1,000 times more creative scouring for camps for vehicles and loot, avoiding multiple pointless attempts on my life, all while looking for random friendlies (rather than finding them on the Forum/TS3/Mumble etc) for a spur of the moment survival team-up. I also enjoy supporting new spawns when the conditions present themselves. Killing Zombies isn't a big challenge, but it is proof I haven't spent ALL of my time in the woods. There's at LEAST 1,000 PvP virtual soldier boys for each lone wolf like me I imagine. Medics, Traders, Armed Robbers, Mercenaries, and Delivery People exhibit more imagination then the hormonal alpha male meathead response of, "have gun must KILL KILL KILL". I really don't care how far you can shoot me from. PvP belongs in this game but for me, it's a very small aspect. This game is evolving so much, I'm just curious how many Beta patches this character will last for, lol. And yes, hopefully the standalone will facilitate more play styles in a way that is more apparent and more easily accessible for the masses.

yawn 9 days, nearly 400 kills, 0 murders, 2 noob assists. everyone's a 1337 snipxors! this game lends itself to creativity, that fact is lost on many of you. Go play C.O.D. for #1 best super PvP experience!

lol, you're welcome.

There's a much easier way. Verify in six launcher. Run both the new dayz and arma patches. Launch from six launcher. When the new patch is more stable i believe six launcher will provide a proper working update. Some people are also saying to switch to dayz commander to fix the problem but i have not tried it yet.

Yeah I'm in my thirties, i started with Atari, and don't plan to give up gaming at forty. I've probably forgotten about more games than some of you have ever seen. Before i had an Atari i had wooden blocks to play with.... Try just clearing a jrpg without game faqs or a walkthrough for once. So many of you kids appreciate so very little.

Sounds like a nice round of C.O.D.!

Meh. You either play legit, or you don't. I left a camp with 14 tents intact... except for the 2 tents with hacked items in them.

I have my first week old character going, and I'm scared shitless one you murderous bastards is going to kill me when I let my guard down. And I definitely think that's how the game should be. I have my first RL friend coming into DayZ after playing mostly alone for over a month. I think we will likely be a 2 man survival/noob assistance team.

I hope ammo limits help to discourage all out KoS. Choose sides wisely, Bandits may one day live in fear....

This is much the same way that I have been rolling back Arma patches when needed. I've basically been telling people do do this for a few weeks now and had assumed it was fairly common knowledge. Simply put, if you patch DayZ or Arma2 after loading and Verifying Six Launcher, you may then use Six Launcher to merely launch the game. (Also I recommend setting Six Launcher to close after game launch and choosing servers from Arma2 multi-player menus.)

I want the devil in the details but I don't want to be a murderer. Does it mean that I'm a "carebear" because I don't KoS and prefer not to PvP?

I had thought of this when they announced player dog companions in the future. I don't think they need to be super strong or deadly as suggested though. My idea would be closer to a Resident Evil type dog; fast, and vicious, but maybe half the health of a human. They would often jump on you knocking you down, jaws locked on an arm. You would definitely need a shake free mechanic, or a auto-set melee attack. Possibly both, like burying your hunting knife in the dogs neck as a scroll wheel option (losing the now tainted knife possibly), or opting to shake mouse back and forth which could take longer causing more damage. Increased but not guaranteed infection might be good as well.

Thank you. This is the clearest most concise reason for the loading screen problem that I've heard of yet. Someone else posted a long convoluted fix that I didn't have the patience for last night. I wonder if I can patch Dayz after verification in Six Launcher, and then launch like I do to roll back to 95417. I don't think I have manual launch set-up properly.... I should probably stop being lazy and get it together.

A leaderboard is already in place but, "....have been temporarily disabled." as per dayzmod.com. I think the stats will be accessible via the website/forums, and a simple leaderboard will be provided. If I'm not mistaken, Rocket touched on this in the Rezzed video.

Sooo many threads for this..... I was wondering just how wide spread this problem is, I guess it's pretty common. Here I posted a quick way to roll back to 95417: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68165-dayz-was-working-fine-now-its-stuck-on-loading/

So correct me if I'm wrong but if I just wait for Six Launcher to push out the correct files the new patch will work without going through your process? Right now I'm manually patching 95417 "over" the files that Six Launcher verifies..... and then launching the game.

If you're using Six Launcher and 95883 gets stuck at loading (like me) there is a way to temporarily roll back to 95417 or a patch that works for you. Load Six Launcher. Verify. Manually patch to earlier version (95417 still works well for me). Launch game. Give me beans. (You have to do this every time you load.)

A tractor is fine too, it has good off-road but only seats 1. But it beats the heck out of walking! That being said I've been playing for over a month; I'm a lone wolf mountain man sort who avoids PvP for the most part, and I've come across more than a few very large camps, and even more vehicles. I also play on low pop servers and scour the northern areas as suggested above, this seems to work really well if you have some patience. 4 tractors, 2 bicycles, 3 pickup trucks, 2 buses, 1 SUV, and just the other day a pristine fully fueled Motorcycle with 2 jerry cans in storage was found just perfectly perched on a hill just before debug plains. Buzzing the NW airfield wearing NVG's doing 90mph watching the bewildered survivors gawk as I plow through zombies..... I must have lapped the map 4 times that night, good times, good times.... Shitty server reset made me lose that bike while riding it. P.S.: to keep a low profile just avoid the roads in high PvP cities and areas. Driving through the woods with most vehicles isn't too tough.

Also, if you're like me 95883 doesn't work! Load Six Launcher. Verify. Run beta patch 95417 manually. Launch. Hand me beans.

Thanks. 'Tis thread worthy Zambeezee, maybe I'm just jelly I didn't think to make it myself. :P
