none of them suck, they both have their use

"Bad version, server rejected connection!" means your ArmA2:OA beta version is lower that the server's.. to check your version go to main menu and look at bottom right corner it seems that you are either starting the game without the beta or you need to update beta files.. contrary to GrumpyFragger I am using DayZ Commander (with steam) and have no problems connecting to servers.. you just need to configure it properly

if you are starting the game from steam you have to run ArmA2:OA beta, not the standard ArmA2:OA and then check bottom right corner in main menu for mod and beta version but as Connor Vaighn says you can use DayZ Commander for both updating and launching the game I was reluctant to use any 3rd party tools and I've been doing everything manually but I installed it a couple of weeks ago and it really simplifies the process and then there is the problem with servers taking some time to apply the update so you might want to wait with updating DayZ until more servers are updated (beta version is usually compatible with older versions but mod has to be the exact same version as the server you are connecting to)

to resolve Bad version error message you need to update ArmA2 beta or start the game properly with beta if you are using DayZ Commander, install the latest beta from there and check the "Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta so Steam works" in the settings this will not help you get past the ban though

sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't probably depends on the fence height (i.e. how much is the fence stuck in the ground)

I love playing at night and I've never had NVG you can see quite well when the moon is out chemlights are great for traveling on pitch black nights and it's easy to scavenge at night since the infected can't see you from 100 meters away as they do during the day

I'd prefer 1st person only, but I don't expect it to happen I hope there will at least be 1st person only servers like there are now

I do not know how you can turn it off completely, but it is also related to the stuck TAB key pressing the TAB key while in chat will perform auto-complete.. so if your TAB key is stuck it keeps auto-completing anything you start typing tapping the TAB key should resolve both issues (flickering buttons and chat auto-auto-complete) but it can happen again when you ALT+TAB to windows or SHIFT+TAB for steam overlay.. just tap the TAB key if it happens again

just tap (press and release) the TAB key to fix it

do you mean the buttons in inventory for example? and chat text auto-complete? do you use steam overlay? if so, then your TAB key is probably stuck from opening/closing the overlay.. just tap it once while in game to get rid of it

please update torrent download it's still on 1.7.3 version

anyone else having trouble connecting? I get stuck on Loading... I can connect to other public hive servers without any problems

steam or non-steam? how exactly are you launching the game?

start the game as usual and then go to main menu.. check the bottom right corner for mod and game version and post here also, steam or non-steam?

this means that the server you are trying to connect to is running a mod that you do not have installed or activated (rmod).. either find a server without this mod (public servers for example) or install the necessary mod

if you could buy one as a gift and then send it to the other account it might work

nvm, see below

good luck getting help with that attitude

this issue is well documented on the forums, try to find a solution in other threads (use search) you can also try to restart your game or computer if you haven't done so yet edit: this only happens to me when I change several servers in one session (or during a hive issue which is not the case here).. I just restart the game and it starts working again

i5 is better for gaming even if the i3 has "better Hz"

I would welcome it looking around corners or lying on the roof and watching the whole town below from 3rd person is lame, same as the argument that you can do it just like others can

there is an "Edit" button at the bottom of your posts for fast editing.. from there you can go to a full editor with another button ("Use Full Editor")

maybe if you try to connect to another server quickly right after getting kicked you might be able to read the kick message in chat log

I agree that ammunition, food, drinks and medicine should be a lot more rare than they currently are

what you describe is ghosting.. ghosting could be prevented by having servers remember your position for 15 minutes.. so if you leave server1, go to server2 to reposition and return to server1 in under 15 minutes you will spawn where you left server1 instead of where you repositioned to on server2.. but I have no idea if it would even be possible to implement server hopping as I understand it is when you are logging into multitude of servers while at the same spot looking for rare loot or people to kill (barracks, sniper nest near high pop area, etc.) that being said the ability to change servers while keeping your loot and position is good IMO but it needs some mechanic to prevent these exploits
