try to start steam as admin and then run bot ArmA2 and ArmA2:OA once

I read somewhere on forums that when you install the latest beta (94945) you have to manually update BattlEye from http://www.battleye.com/download.html (the v1.61.94945+ section) that should resolve it.. or you can go with 94876

there is no group system so it is just a pack of peolpe names show up only on servers with the option enabled.. if it is disabled you can only see it in chat

if a server is low populated during daytime (in-game) then it is not a good sign also 1.7.2 (or 1.7.2.1) had the desync issue where progress would not get saved sometimes I suggest you find a good 1.7.2.3 server

it depends on whether you open inventory while aiming at a loot pile or not when you open inventory just like that with no loot pile around you are dropping items to the ground (left) from your main inventory (right).. when you open backpack at this time, you are swapping items between backpack (left) and inventory (right).. when you close the backpack now you are dropping items to the ground again as when you started when you aim at a lootpile and open inventory, you are swapping items between lootpile (left) and inventory (right).. when you open backpack at this time, you are swapping items between lootpile (left) and backpack (right) also when you get full slots in the container you are trying to move an item to, some items may start to disappear (to make room for the item you are moving).. sometimes they are just moved to a different container, but it can happen that they vanish completely.. always watch your free space, especially when moving items that take up multiple slots sorry if I made a mistake somewhere, I'm not at home so can't verify but I think I got it right

this is similar to what I was thinking, firearm sound shouldn't make the infected sprint to the source but rather make them slowly shuffle there like when you throw a can.. and only start sprinting when they spot you but then I realized it would make them much less of a threat

click RMB to zoom with scope hold RMB to zoom in slightly but without aiming (it works with ironsights but not with scope)

make sure all DayZ files are in @DayZ\Addons subfolder in you OA folder then launch the game as Combined Operations

try to copy arma2oa.exe from OA\expansion\beta folder into main OA folder (backup the original file) I launch through steam and this is what I need to do after installing new beta patch

how exactly are you launching the game?

you don't spawn with a gun anymore (since 1.7.1 or so) need to find one, check out houses, barns etc.

I have no idea, sorry :( you can try to load stock settings in BIOS and also test with prime95

do you have anything overclocked? try testing your system stability with OCCT - http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/software other alternatives: prime95 for CPU and RAM - http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm (seems to be down atm but you can download from other sites) furmark for GPU - http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

cfg errors can be ignored.. your issue is most likely caused by something else.. there are plenty of "stuck at loading screen" threads in this section, why not try to find solution there?

he mentioned it somewhere in this Q&A - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-07-09-watch-dean-rocket-halls-huge-rezzed-q-and-a-for-dayz

I also don't like the idea of introducing instances to an open-world sandbox game but let's just wait and see what rocket comes up with, we have very little information at the moment to start judging

that means you are running DayZ and beta, but you need to know the version anyway, if update to the latest DayZ version (1.7.2.3) and beta required for it (94876 or higher) you should be able to see the green bars

he probably needs to install ArmA2 and ArmA2:OA properly, not just copy it

tent spawns are quite rare.. they spawn in houses, sheds, offices, churches and supermarkets same for backpacks with a slightly higher chance it's all rng, sometimes you find 3 backpacks in a supermarket, other times you go for hours without finding one

don't mind the troll I have been testing ArmA2 with Xsplit today and I've found out that when I start ArmA2 before I start Xsplit I get huge FPS drop and one CPU core gets hogged while others are hardly in use.. but when I started Xsplit first and then ArmA2 after Xsplit was fully loaded I got only small FPS drop and CPU usage was nicely distributed between the CPU cores would be nice to have somebody else try the same Fraps records raw footage so you will need to encode it after

I've heard that the loot only spawns once but I'm not sure about it.. sometimes I find loot, sometimes I don't.. you can still get a few items from the infected around

I'm having a similar issue now and then, scroll wheel menu stops showing after I get back into the game from steam overlay or alt+tab.. I found out that some modifier key (ctrl, alt, shift) gets stuck when alt+tabbing to windows or using steam overlay so the game thinks I am doing modifier key+scroll instead of plain scroll.. I have to tap every modifier key to get it unstuck and then the scrolling starts working again

most servers have 6 hour restart cycle for stability and synchronization (I think it's encouraged or maybe even required by dayz staff) and I've also seen a few servers with 4 hour cycle.. I'm sure other server admins can provide more info on that though

when it happens to me I just restart the game and then it works.. didn't try with the latest beta yet thought
