then u did something wrong, that's the actual fix.

omg. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/140337-new-steam-users-please-read/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/135141-standard-troubleshooting-methods-for-steam-users/

just picture it real life, ok so could a 9mm shoot somone with amazing amount of damage over 100meters away. NO, but COD says yes, dayz says NO!!! do not follow your target, lead your target, take small burst shots, full auto is never a good idea, waste of ammo and a dinner bell like no other to bandits and zombies alike. To trail your target you must gauge your distance to your target, at long distance without the use of Range finders, you could fire a spoiler shot and adjust according to the bullet impact point with some degree of accuracy. at short range Firing from the Hip! learn it, use it well shouldering your weapon takes to much time, aside for aiming to your target, take a few survior runs with different guns and do practice shots on running zombies, shoot signs while running to prone, crouch shoot small signs, once your done practice on other players, stalk them, and become the soul less merchant of death dayz intended you to be. have fun!

beat your computer with a 2x4 till it starts playing dayz

ok bud check your Private messgae with the information and details.

humm, nope if i we're u i'd build a pc, if you would like i could create and account, then give you the account info to see what you can buy when you build it. just give me the go ahead and well start this

Im trying to comprehend what you just said, Vanilla dayZ with steam? um, what? i remember when steam wasn't even apart of dayz. how on earth could you call steam and dayz a vanilla setup? you want a vanilla setup?, try copying the arma 2 oa launch icon and turning that into the dayz launcher, that's vanilla. Steam has to many issues with dayz, most people prefur to use something that is fast, light weight and not having to log into steam just to play, all i do is click an icon on my desktop and im in the servers, then run the game through steam once a month to get updates, where do u manually do anything? u select charts and options and it does it all by itself. u can download all the maps in 45 mins and never have to change a single setting. i believe that is much easier than steam.

ok did you launch them through steam? wait wtf dayz mod?!? you have dayz mod in your steam library? WTF? delete that shit, install dayzcommander and install it that way for the love of god read the thread i just posted! http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/140337-new-steam-users-please-read/

yes, there is, try laucnhin the games through steam, all of arma games, one time to main menu. just give it a try, and accept, next,allow anything that pops up and do it quickly

dear god, why are people all a sudden useing steam to play dayz, what is going on here?

um, what? oh dear god what have you done!! dont tell me you poor Sons of..... are playing dayz through steam? o lord, Ok first of all steam is glitchie as all hell. No one uses it to play arma2/dayz people only use steam to buy the game. if you guys want to play the game, the way it was meant to be played then, i'd take a look at the next post

I say where i say where did u buy that game son? How much eggroll!?

as long as what ever ur using runs as a NTFS then it can run .exe command which allows u to play games, if its a storage device, no

1st of all, never disable your filewall. 2nd you do not use play withsix for dayz, you use dayz commander. 3rd assuming you bought the through steam game u haven't even used the file system check list is provides for you. and i'm also sure it's been a long time since you've launched the game through steam, with that being said. open steam,right click arma 2, select properties, select local file tab, then select verify system cache. (do that to all the arma games in your library) Once you have done all of that and everything is accounted for you then must log out of steam then re open steam. Then you right click arma 2 and select play, Allow accept ok next anything that comes up, allow it to the main menu. then exit the game. do the same to arma 2 OA arma 2 BAF arma 2 PMC in that order, all the games must be launched at least one time per month through steam to get steams information from it's servers. once you have done that open dayz commander make sure direct 3d and close dayz commander when joining a server is checked, also make sure that the start up launch parameters are set correct with "-winxp" "-nosplash" "-world=empty" "-maxmem=2047" "-cpucount=(number of PHYSICAL CORES) you have, then make sure all the games are correctly in there right path directories, then you are ready to play cherro!

It's a patching issues, your version isn't syncing up with the server you are trying to join. Downgrade your beta throught dayz commander, sarousaren, i'll do yours when your done installing These issues happen alot when huge patches are released, please be patient. usually always gets fixed right away.

Sweet jesus i thought this problem was lost long ago, havn't heard about the crow glitch in over a year, gj mate

do you have steam?

the best way to learn how to play dayz is tell everyone your friendly and watch how many times that gets u killed, then the grouping phase, you trust your partner to keep you safe, until u find something he wants, then he kills you and you feel your first betrayal, after that you become a soul-less merchant of death who has no moral of right or wrong, only thing left is to survive. then u become like us:)

MIND EXPLODES!!!!!

Keep inmind this is a copy and paste from a post i made earlier. The issue you are having is very unique which most games have never and mostly will never run the way arma 2 games run but seeing how dayz and arma 3 have made such a name, you can expect many great game in the future, so if you enjoy armas delightful design and gameplay then a Solid State Drive would highly benefit you in more ways than just one. The problem you are having is your 7200rpm HDD has mechanical moving parts, at 7200rpm just isn't fast enough. You see, arma 2 run's it's game through hundreds of Image files called PBO files, which have many different functions. Such as, Weapons,air,sound,water,environment,trees,grass,vehicles, skin models, anything and everything you see in arma 2 is because of those files. Now, arma 2 runs entirely off Indexing those PBO files, thats why a 7200rpm Harddrive cannot dish out the index fast enough for the processor and gpu, For example, your cpu and gpu are sitting there tapping their feet, waiting for the harddrive to give the data needed for the cpu and gpu to move forward at a stable rate. Now, 2 ways to do this, 1 being the one i recommend the most. Is buy a SSD set it up as a 2ndary harddrive and install only steam and all of arma games to it and use it as a gaming/video harddrive then use the HDD you have now as the main HDD that holds the OS and main system files. Or you could get a SSD to fit your entire computer on, though, i do not recommend that because the life of a SSD does not compare to the life of a HDD by any means, if a HDD burns, you can retrieve the lost data, if a SSD burns out, data is lost for ever, cannot ghost or retrieve data from a Burnt SSD. Hence the reason i strongly recommend it as a 2ndary!

hahahahaha

Open steam right click arma 2, select properties, go to local file tab, select verify system game cache. (do this to all arma related games in your library.) Once you are done with that, launch the games in this order, Arma 2, Arma 2 OA, Arma 2 BAF, Arma 2 PMC, right click each one and select play. Make sure you run them everyone of them to the main menu. then try again.
