Is there a bandit problem?

Kaboom and I Checking out the L85A2 we snagged. Enjoy! More to come, I'm still learning this whole video editing thing, wish me luck! Oh, listen to the one-sided conversation that Kaboom has with the target.

We found a heli and later learned it to be hacked in. We later flew it into some tall pines at NWAF and destroyed it in High Fashion. Lost all of my gear, but, totally worth it. Score one for the vanilla players. Suck my 5.56 hacker. High Fashion.

Anyone got any advice for video editing? I just picked up a copy of Sony Vegas platinum and I am about to post another one here in a bit.

right, thankfully. It wasn't that that made me think he was hacking, it was all the ammo crates he spawned in when he landed to try to find med supplies.

Still new at cutting videos, any advice is appreciated, I use Nero Video 11. Could use a skype tutor!

Very nice!

No don't delete this admin, this is a serious issue, and it is absolutely ruining this game. We're gonna need a fix, Hive wide, for irresponsible admin.

Cut my first video in some years. Took some harsh lessons from youtubers. Open to criticism, anyone that knows anything about Nero Video 11 give me a shout, I cut this one with Windows Movie Maker for win 7. This is me and Kaboom assaulting a Church that has laid a clever trap for all types of people. 5v2 at the start. Turned out in our favor, mostly due to combat loggers, but, hey, I've begun counting those as victorious battles too. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93VsIROWn9U

We had two guys combat log on us, but, like i said earlier, that's to be expected with this game anymore. Start counting them as unconfirmed kills...lol!

I have this problem, but my ping actually is an issue. I have 12mbps/dl and 2mbps/ul connection, but my ping is usually high because it is a satellite service provided by Exede internet. This is the nations fastest net service for people that live as far in the country as I do. I play with a large group on a regular basis, and I have uploaded videos of our group. I don't show the least bit of lag, and no one I play with thinks I ever show lag, sometimes however, my ping can get up to the 500s. The server owners are hurting their servers by placing ping limits on players, there is far more involved in a good connection that just ping limits. I make a motion to please remove this function from the server interfaces. Thanks!

Right! If i was a bandit, I'd do that all day! Maybe I will someday, but with better bait, maybe a coyote pack and a Truck. Did you see where they were killing people without any gear? That had happened several times already, i just forgot to turn on my recorder. That's my biggest issue, not recording when I need to. And thanks mate, appreciate you watching it!

Right. I don't think there is anyone who plays this game that didnt know that. If you listen to the video, there is never any mention of anything about the bus being intentionally placed there. It was the 5 bandits inside that caught our eye, smoking new spawns. Nice observation though. They used the bus as bait, which, after smoking the bandits, turned out to be fully operational. It was a good day.

Alright then, I've exhausted all resources looking this up. I can't find any pother posts with this same issue for this beta patch. What: Stuck at loading screen after hitting ok in the game lobby. When: Now 12:21 GMT-6 and for about two hours now. Versions: 1.7.2.3/1.62.95168beta Situation: I am only filtering 1.62.95168 servers. I had this patch last night I think, around 12 midnight, and I was able to play on most any server. I have been trying now since 1000 gmt-6 today. I have friends that are experiencing the same issue. My question is, is anyone else having this particular problem, some of my friends are stuck at waiting for host pre lobby, but that is not my issue. Any advice would be swell. Specs: AMD fx 6100 hex core 4.3ghz (current clock) Nvidia GTX 560TI +70mhz signature ASUS MX990 MBX 16g GSKILL Sniper ddr3 1TB BLack 500g Black Sadly, no SSD yet... Experience: Have fixed every other bad version, mismatch error that has came along for months. I'm stuck here. I have never had to uninstall to fix errors like other people have. This isn't really a good option. Alright then. fire, fire, fire.

What server do you run? Ill have to check it out!

Good tip. You are absolutely right. I still have servers that I'm waiting to jump to the new version with all my gear stored on it. Waiting for the world to change. Until then, i just wander the wastes, looking for pasta, which is much more satisfying than beans, if you ask me.

Alright, good to know. I would hate to have to try and find a beta and version that fit, and go through all of that. Maybe Ill try again tonight.

I would suggest deleting your arma 2 and reinstalling it. Before you do that, try to run Combined ops from steam and launch the multiplayer platform from there. Can you tell me what ARMA Beta you have? It will be a 5 digit number in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. The newest working servers that i can play on are running 95168 The newest servers are running 1.7.2.3 (which you do have) as far as dayz versions go. Just a heads up, i can launch, but i cant load into the game today. I could at midnight last night, but not now. Good luck!

When I took 876, I had to go into the ARMA OA program files, and maker the change manually, there is a fix on this forum, but Ill type it out again, in case you guys didnt fix it yet. Dont merge this, admin. The more places its visible, the better chance you have of someone seeing it. Thanks! Go To: Computer>Program Files 86>Bohemia Interactive>Arma 2 Op Arrowhead>expansion>Battleye, then click uninstall. After it is uninstalled, go back to the expansion folder open beta folder install battleye by clicking setup battleyeOA go through the wizard. You must have a net connection when you do this, it will auto update the BEye. Also, this was mentioned in the changelog with 876, there was an issue auto updating battleeye for some people, and it must be done manually, these are the explicit instructions. Hope this Helps! Good Luck! *Edit* You can use this anytime your Beye is giving you troubles.

Nice idea! Good suggestion!

Right, I've recently began taking this stance as well. It works. You can't DC if your dead on the first shot. Pick your battles...Unfortunately, I can rarely head shot 2 or more people. I'm not a bandit, either. People just get in the way of me and my next bean.

Spawned debug plain, in the dark, on a daylight server with three other people standing around me, no gear no pack, they didn't seem to have packs either. Apparently having the same issue. Logged out, and into a new server, and spawned the coast with all my gear back...and my A.l.i.c.e.so, that's good. Managed to escape the coast using the kill everything that stands or crawls method, and now aside from the bandit breath, I'm in the same place I was. I will say, our tent city was obliterated by the server restarts, wire, sandbags, tents, everything was gone. But, it's in alpha, so...yeah. Good to know other people are having this problem and not just myself. Cheers!

Time: 1600 gmt-6 Date: 16JUL2012 Situation: lost sound after a firefight. Changed rifles with a friend from an m16a2 203 to an m14 aimpoint shortly after the firefight. Played for 1 minute until another teammate suggested I log out and back in to try and fix the sound glitch. I did so. Fixed the sound, deleted my weapon. Score one for the debug. Where: elektro, chernarus. N firehouse ground level. We were with a 6 man team on a supply run with a two man over watch position just northeast. Version: 1.7.2.3 Server: US477 Veteran Specs: amd fx 6100 hex core, 16g ddr3 g skill sniper, Asus mx990 mbx, nvidia GeForce 560tioc, and far more than I'll ever need to avoid bugs being my fault. Timeline: was happy I survived the fight nearly unscathed before the firefight, was mad my gun got glitches after. Someone said this could be because of all the combat loggers and loot server jumpers, some kind of prevention against that. Ii hope that's not the case. Does anyone have an explanation for this?

That is me...100%

bahahahahahahaha!
