here is what I have been told a while back: items in a vehicle only take 1 slot each - both car wheel and a tin can take 1 slot vehicles have 3 types of slots - item slots (ammo, food, grenades, etc. general items), weapons slots (weapons and tools) and backpack slots for example, UAZ has 50/10/2 slots - 50 item, 10 weapon and 2 backpack check out this thread for numbers on other vehicles and stuff - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10198 not sure about the tools going into weapon slot though

are you using steam or non-steam version? how do you launch the game? when you get kicked, check the chat to see if there is any error message there - there should be the reason why you got kicked (it is "below" the server list so it may be hard to see)

there are probably other ways to launch it (like with _runA2CO_beta.cmd after some modifications or use some kind of launcher) but I don't know how exactly also every time after you install a new beta patch you have to do this: - copy the "arma2oa.exe" from "\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\" to "steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\"

there is no problem with the beta patch, 93825 has been released a few days prior to the 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1 updates

use the search, it's been said over and over http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13467

maybe you will have to respawn :S it's a known issue try to search forums for a solution, I think there have been some like "run for 4 hours east" or something, don't know.. never cared about it, only happened to me once and I just killed myself and started over

Notchy44 I can't reply to your PM, it says you have PMs disabled download the patch here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php - the latest one is in the green frame if you are using steam version of the game follow this post for proper beta install and run with steam - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=14080&pid=129830#pid129830 I have no experience with non-steam version

edit: tl;dr - if you don't see the flashlight in your pistol slot when you press G then it is still in your backpack press G while NOT aiming at any loot pile you will see a list of items you have in your inventory and a graphical representation of your inventory double-click on your backpack to open it now the list on left side has changed - you now see all the items in your inventory and in your backpack in the list.. the items in backpack have numbers on the left side while items in inventory have numbers on the right side you should see the flashlight with a 1 on left double-click on flashlight to move it to your inventory (or click the black arrow on right side) you should now have the flashlight in the pistol slot of your inventory (and the 1 in the item list will now be on the right side) I hope I got it right, not at home ATM

you need to install the ArmA2 beta patch and run the game with it

nothing you can do about that other than finding a 1.7.1.1 server

you need to provide a little more information, we know nothing about what his issue is

regarding Scenario 1 try running steam as admin or try to make a screenshot of the cmd prompt - my guess is that the batch file is unable to locate/access reg.exe

try to go through this in case you missed something in the guide: - exit game - download latest beta (currently 93825), extract anywhere and run executable to install it (just confirm, it does the rest) - optional step: go to "\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\" and rename "arma2oa.exe" to "arma2oa.bak" for backup - copy the "arma2oa.exe" from "\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\" to "steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\" - open steam, right click on ArmA2:OA, click Properties and then Set launch options - enter "-mod=@dayz -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion" (without the quotes) and click OK and Close - right click ArmA2:OA and select Launch ArmA2:CO thanks to xCryonic for the original guide if you are still having trouble please post exact chain of events, what you are doing, what is happening on screen and when

try to fiddle with ArmA2OA.cfg in Documents\ArmA 2

nothing you can do, server needs to update.. find a new server until then it doesn't matter where you extract the beta package.. you only need to run the extracted executable and it will install automatically after confirmation

also some M4 variations have camo paint

for steam version follow this guide - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9314 for non-steam maybe someone else will be able to help

did you install ArmA2 beta patch?

since 1.7.1.1 you get the option to choose gender on every respawn http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13996 if it is not working you should report it in bug report forum

taken from another thread: they are not zombies as in rise-from-the-dead zombies.. they are people infected with a disease.. but it's the easiest way to describe the symptoms

maybe you can ask for a permission to lock the server for an hour or so for testing

they are not zombies as in rise-from-the-dead zombies.. they are people infected with a disease.. but it's the easiest way to describe the symptoms not sure how that affects their "brain power" though, just wanted to clear that up

I believe it puts unnecessary strain on master server and is not encouraged.. I could be wrong though
