I've had this problem a couple of days ago. Dying in ocean doesn't seem to trigger the respawn button. If you're playing on Regular go to server list and filter "reset". You should be able to find a couple of servers that will reset your character when you join them. On Hardcore you're out of luck since there is no such server. This was my case. However, each time I logged in I had a couple of seconds before I "died" so I crawled out of the ocean and just left the game open until I died of hunger/thirst. Not much of a solution though.

Thanks for this. Got a broken leg a short while after I spawned so I crawled into the ocean to die. I was dead at the bottom of the ocean but still couldn't hit respawn (and my character kept moaning and telling me he's hungry). Managed to reset my character this way.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with graphics. If you had this bug you would be too. I can turn fast if I move my mouse slow. The faster I move my mouse the slower my character turns in-game. "Negative acceleration" as someone called it pretty much describes it.

Thanks for the suggestion but I already have both options disabled.

I'm also suffering from this "negative acceleration". It's extremely unintuitive and I hope that it's not by design.

This is not true. I have over 400 hours played in DayZ mod and this "negative acceleration" was never an issue for me there. In SA I'm not able to get rid of it no matter what I do.

My problem is that the faster I move my mouse the less I actually turn in-game. It's as if I had a "deceleration" option enabled. Anyone else experiencing this? (I have tried with and without acceleration, doesn't seem to matter)

OP suggests that the containers would provide additional protection from damage and decay. That would be their advantage. I also agree that they should not give more inventory slots than they take. It makes no sense.

if you find a bug that can be used to exploit you report it and stop abusing it.. if you continue exploiting it you deserve a ban

if you want to play DayZ Origins then you need to install DayZ Origins mod in the install/update tab and then find a server running DayZ Origins mod.. if you want to play vanilla DayZ you don't have to install anything else how are you choosing a server to connect to? are you using DayZ Commander to connect to the servers or are you connecting from ArmA2 server browser? you should not be getting the same error (bad version) if you have followed the post I have linked and if you are connecting to vanilla DayZ servers

it means that your ArmA2 beta version is wrong either you don't have beta installed or you are starting the game without it I suggest that you download and install DayZ Commander and then follow this post

WRONG CD KEY message during the installation of beta can be ignored if you haven't used DayZ Commander before I suggest you do and check the install/update tab to see what it reports on your ArmA2 beta and DayZ status.. if they are not "Up to date" then update from there if you don't want to use DayZ Commander for some reason or you want to install it manually even if DayZ Commander does not report any issues then: - download the current DayZ and beta files (there is a newer beta version but 103718 is recommended) - extract DayZ to OA folder (both @DayZ and Keys folders) - install beta (ignore the WRONG CD KEY message) - try to join a server (running DayZ 1.7.7.1) as for the "Allow" option in regedit I don't know what you mean.. I have no such option in regedit where my key is.. only the key and install folders of ArmA2 and OA

one tent could serve more people.. it makes no sense for the whole squad to lose all items because the one who placed the tent has died

press P for list of players, you can mute them there also, this was only to test if DayZ will work this way.. if you want to play on private servers, you have to remove the "Hide Unofficial" option from filter but always make sure that the server you are connecting to is running DayZ and ArmA2 versions that match yours (server name and description will be white if they do, grey if they don't)

try the following: - launch DayZ Commander - open "install/update" and make sure that the DAYZ COMMANDER, ARMA 2 and DAYZ are all "Up to date" - close "install/update" - if you are using Steam to play DayZ open "settings" and check the check-boxes for "Launch using Steam" and "Replace original Arma2AO files...." - close "settings" - in the "servers" window pick the following options in the filter: DayZ Only, "Hide Unofficial", "Hide Wrong Arma2 Version", "Hide Wrong Mod Version" this should show you public servers that are running DayZ and ArmA2 beta version "compatible" with yours (beta version does not always have to match exactly).. try joining one of these servers to see how it works out

they fixed LOS and some attack checks so that you can evade them more easily and they nerfed them at the same time.. makes no sense they should revert zombies difficulty back to 1.7.7 but with the fixes to LOS and attacks

I wouldn't risk a melee fight in 1.7.7 unless I had antibiotics currently I carry a Winchester (1-shot kills, common ammo (15 per "clip"), good range) and an M1911 I use a Winchester for out-of-town kills (when it's difficult to land a headshot) and to fend off players.. in towns I use an M1911 since it's easy to line up zeds for headshots (e.g. inside buildings) and the aggro range is not that high.. of course I try not to use them at all but sometimes it's necessary (or more convenient)

they are not zombies or living dead.. they are people infected with a virus and only referred to as "zombies" because of the similarities between their behavior and the zombies we know from fiction.. it seems that the virus enhances some of their senses and abilities, which is also hinted at at the DayZ about page: "Realistic "Zombies" with custom animations - These once human creatures will act and behave as if they have a heighten sense of hearing and smell but less sight"

best way to lose the infected are buildings with two exits - run in through one exit, wait a while until the zeds shuffle inside (they can only walk inside buildings) and then run out the other exit.. churches and other buildings with one exit but a lot of space to maneuver work too here's a few of the most common buildings with two exits: http://db.dayzwiki.c...-storage-barn-1 http://db.dayzwiki.c...light-red-brick http://db.dayzwiki.c...-dark-red-brick http://db.dayzwiki.c...s/19-workshop-4 http://db.dayzwiki.c...s/28-barn-brown http://db.dayzwiki.c...dings/16-garage less common: http://db.dayzwiki.c...fice-building-1 http://db.dayzwiki.c...4-supermarket-1 sometimes it pays to aggro as many zeds as you can, lure them into one such building and leave them there so that you can get back to looting the other buildings and try to avoid running on hard surfaces (e.g. roads), it makes a lot of noise.. only do it if you are intentionally pulling zeds alternatively you can wait until it gets dark which reduces zed vision a lot and makes it much safer to loot towns.. if it gets too dark you can use flares to light up whole areas (or reposition zeds since they react to it) or chemlights to light up small area around you (it is safe to carry a chemlight, zeds do not react to it, unlike to flares)

"DayZ was designed to be impossibly cruel, dark, and brutal. It was not designed as a game it was more of an experiment, I prefer the term "anti-game" - in other words the mechanics are not designed to be balanced, or offer a way out for different situations." - rocket "So the DayZ world has gone to shit? Good. We're on track then. Because its a fucking Zombie Apocalypse." - rocket

I think the new update is for the better.. loot is more rare (as it should be) and zombies are a threat again the only thing that needs to change is player mentality

I'm getting this error too but the update gets installed anyway is it causing any issues other than the error message?

if you want to play vanilla DayZ you only need to install DayZ and then use the "DayZ Only" filter in server list to find servers (unless you already know where you want to play, then you can add the server directly in favorites) the other mods are more or less modified versions of DayZ, not required to play vanilla DayZ.. if you want to try any of them you will need to install it and then find a server running the respective mod

http://www.dayzcommander.com/ installs, updates, server list/search, favorites, launch game, ... edit: if you want it to use Steam (overlay) make sure to check the following check-boxes in settings: - Launch using Steam - Replace original Arma2OA files with Beta so Steam works

there's definitely more than 7.. try clearing all filter options (at the bottom of the filters) and then use "DayZ" option for mod and "Hide unofficial" to hide private hives.. the second option does not always work and you will still see some private hive servers but you should be able to tell which is what from the server name
