Humm, are you familiar with team viewer? i can and will get your game started. just need more information. such as: Where u bought the game?, What type of OS you use?, Where you downloaded/installed the main dayz files? Open google and type: Team Viewer 8, download/install it and get back to me

His problem was his dayz commander had the wrong startup parameters and he also didn't have direct 3d and Close dayz when joining a server. Yours may be a different problem Do what he did, install team viewer and i can take a look.

If you are being picky about an alpha, just get the f over it already, if your gonna nit and pick at every detail in an alpha build, It's called an ALPHA for a reason, you wanna be little princess's and get everything you want when you first launch it, go play COD then, otherwise. stop knocking a game NON of you even played, you don't even know if ironsights are even removed, that build was a single player build, no server architecture, at all. do everyone a favor, if your going to rage about Standalone, I understand people have opinions, but these aren't opinions, these are little kids bitching about stuff they have no knowledge over once so ever. they see a little SA footage, they think they know everything. sweet baby jesus.

the best thing to do is go to the drive you installed the game on, go all the way to opening arma 2/arma2OA/@DayZ copying each of the links and paste them in their corresponding directories. Make sure direct3d and close dayz commander after you join game are checked. Also make sure, that your Startup Launch parameters have the correct format. Example: "-winxp" "-MaxMem=2047" "-World=empty" "-nosplash" , google dayz startup launch parameters and look at BI's website for a better understanding and more of the commands.

I've been hanging around these forums for longer than i care to admit. But the moderators on these forums have been nothing but help from the start. From players who have not a single clue what to do, to the Veterans that lost almost all hope. The Moderators on the Dayz Forum have been addressing issues, Fixing problems and maintaining the forums. The reason I'am making this thread is to give a little thanks from the players to the moderators, that make our dayz experience that much more enjoyable. Call me a fan boi if you want, i dont care, i think people deserve credit, were credit is due. from Me I say Thank you to all the forum Moderators that help me and everyone out. Say +1 if you agree, or leave a brief message. This is for the Mods, give them your support!

Key words "if you want" lol

Yes i did, that computer wouldn't last very long, its maxed at 8gb of ram. Now if you want a suggestion, I would buy a computer that already has all the parts like from newegg or something like that. Make sure it has a big case(Metal) that can fit a micro-ATX/ATX, and start building on it. when i say big, i mean big, graphic cards and water pumps aren't small,

i would like to use the hunting knife to kill someone silently, do not always have a silenced weapon, and switching to the axe is all a pain in the ass.

lol np man

Are you still using the same OS or did you upgrade to windows 8, usually that kicks you because of a deleted/corrupted file, or your battle eye isn't connecting or staying connected to the BE server which in results would get you kicked in 30 secs. personally, i would downgrade the beta patch, then re-install battle eye and relaunch it again like you would when you first installed it, for example, if you bought it through steam. open steam do the verify system game cache to all the arma games /dlc's then run them all one time to main menu. if retail launch from the Arma2OA.exe from BI Folder, do not launch from Withsix or Dayz commander. lemme know if this works

FPS is what makes it playable, thought, i do agree that SSD's do not always increase fps, but it does speed up the index searching that arma 2 does, if you noticed, arma 2 runs all images and items off PBO files, which need to be indexed while playing the game. If you speed that up with either a ramdisk or ssd or even a High performance Hard Drive that cost must more than a standard ssd. then its all up to processor and gpu. u don't need a rig from the future to play arma 2/dayz just fast HDD, 3.1+GHZ processor and a beefy g-card with 2+gb even some high performance 1gb can handle it and maybe 6-8+ gb of ram and your set for 60+fps all hardware+software should be updated or checked for updates at least 1 time every 2 week to ensure maximum performance.

Huh? i thought STEAM:00: ID and arma 2 GUID were completely separate, wouldn't moving it be considered as duplication?

yup, steam has its own User id which is the STEAM:ID and arma 2 has a GUID, inorder for your avatar to be present you'll need your guid on his computer, which makes no sense so bringing your computer is the only option.

i love windows 7, i just said it was a dipshit, it's nice they throttled it down for non-gaming customers, but maybe they should atleast tell you or make it more noticeable because a lot of people have no idea about that option or even knows their pci-e even does that. and by the way, i've been working on computer since 1982, don't you ever give me that shit.

I really hate to say this but your gonna need to update almost everything, you need atleast 3.1ghz from processor, you do need a decent g-card, and a SSD would make all the difference with the Index searching, your HDD isn't fast enough, nor is the processor. Your gonna have to upgrade, not just for arma but for most games that are to be released in this year will require a system of 3.0ghz atleast 6GB of Ram and a healthy GPU to support it all, along with a decent power-supply to ensure all hardware are getting the correct amount of power. Newegg.com has some decent computer builds/pre-builds that are cheap and you can add on to them for future upgrading. I hope this doesn't bum you out, a lot of us had to do this, including me.

glad it all worked out for you:) more information for us would make life easier,

Because windows 7 is a dip shit, it's need to be turned off and then turned back on for the system to even realize there's a change. basically disabling it and enabling it, is going in with your hands and removing it, and setting it back in, just like your router, when it acts like a punk ass bitch.... you reset it. that's what your doing here

couldn't say it any better, your processor is putting the hurt on you system, a good 3.3-3.8 is decent, anything under 3.1 is Fubar

doesn't seem like hes coming back, usually that fixes it, never download 3rd partie programs for dayz/arma such as something that moves and places system files, that's just dangerous

if you bought the game through steam, just right click all the arma 2 game, go to properties, select local file tab, select verify system cache, do this to all arma games, once you do that run them all one time, then try joining that server. Good luck

makes it a shit load harder but ok, it's your registry files are corrupted and or your directories may also be screwed up, file system check list from steam, the Verify system game cache from steam, should ALWAYS fix that cd key problem, if it doesn't, then there is something wrong with steam. Steam should not freeze or stop in downloading a file. If you have windows 8 it could be a system registry not allowing the game to play, if it's windows 7/vista the chances are the entire file system for steam is corrupted. from this point and from the information you;ve given me, there is a hundred's of reason why it's doing this Please if you dont want to use team viewer, im gonna need you to check every file in your registry(steam/arma2 related) and your directorties and post them in screen shots on here so i can actually see with my own eye whats going on. if you could make a video and just open and close items and i can see their set values, and or placements that would be great to. good luck!

inside windows 7 default pile of shit, there is a "power Link State" the throttles your pci-e slot with 50% power, it's ridiculous, but it's meant for really really low end g-cards. Windows 7/Vista : Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings: inside that folder, there will be a option for Change Advanced Power Settings, Click that, then scroll down to PCI Express, open that to Link State Power Management. Select it to OFF. Then go to. Your Control Panel, go to Device Manager. Look for Display Adapters. once you open that up. Look for your graphic card. Right click it. and click disable. Wait 10 secs if low end graphic card 5 secs if high end and then re-enable it. create a power plan setting for max preformance if desktop. save and click apply close everything and then restart your computer.

lemme guess you have steam and or arma 2 installed on a standard 7200rpm Hard drive, Is that correct... Of coruse it's correct, because the processor/graphic card and ram you have is perfect and flawless for great dayz play, the only thing you don't have is a SSD. arma 2/dayz revolves around 2 main computer components. 1. Processor speed of 3.0ghz or higher, and a SSD with a fast read/write speed, arma 2 is all about index searching, and prcoessing, it's important to had a healthy gpu for a solid average of fps, ram should be 8+ other then that your good to go chef, thats why your settings dont change from high to low, your harddrive is bottle necking the shit out of the processor

Do you have team viewer? i could sit here for half the day shooting problems at you, or i can take a look in your computer and get this over with quicky

Overclocking Dayz/arma is never a good idea unless you've ran bench marks, and you know where your hardware can safely be OC'd. he is right though, i had a dual core extreme core processor at 3.1ghz and that did kinda crappy, Though, i would like to add that arma 2/dayz are not completely dependent on Processor. A Strong and Fast Hard Drive is necessary as well, the standard 7200rpm is not fast enough for arma 2 directories or index searching, that's why usually a standard AMD/Intel SSD beats the holy hell out of the standard Hard drive. i know that arma requires 2 main parts of your pc, 1st Processor, 2nd Hard Drive *Read/Write speed*, a good graphic card gives it the extra kick in the nuts, but it doesn't have to be anything expensive
