Eh, not the most convenient or intuitive way to learn to read Cyrillic. I mostly just need like a pocket reference to the letters and their English equivalents. This is a good quick reference, for those who recognize the letters on sight, but don't always remember their pronunciation, like me.

I've been having this exact same problem for a week now, too. I emailed the devs about it yesterday, and got a response asking for my player name, my unique player ID, and a copy of my Arma2OA RPT file. I sent those in yesterday, but I haven't gotten a response back yet. I'm hoping someone is looking into it, even if they haven't emailed me back saying that they are. It would be nice to get a status update on my request, though. I have a feeling it has to do with character data linked to your unique player ID being corrupted or something.

That was actually my very first death. Killed by outhouse door.

I know this has been brought up before, but I'm just going to bring it up again. Arma already gives you the option to select a head model for your character; but what I'd like to see is a way to customize your character's outfit, as well. There are plenty of civilian and military body models to choose from, but they're not being used for anything in multiplayer, which is a shame in a mod like DayZ. I think the game could greatly benefit from a character customization system, so not every player looks like a slightly altered clone of every other one.

Doesn't matter what servers I try, US or EU; they all give me the indefinite "Waiting for server response" message.

Having all the character data stored in a single database accessed by every server and every player connected to a server was certainly not the greatest development choice. Sure, it enables persistence across all servers, but it makes logging on to any server really, really frustrating, slow, and glitchy. Pyramid networking with a single database at the top? It turned buying the game for a mod into an accidental pyramid scheme; at least until they fix it or change the networking model.

Date/Time: Any/All What happened: Near-infinite wait time at "Waiting for server response" message. Where you were: Between connecting to a server and playing the game. What you were doing: Trying to connect to a server Current installed version: 1.5.7 Server(s) you were on: Any/All Your system specs: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 GPU: Radeon HD 4870 512 MB RAM: 2GB G.Skill DDR2 Game Versions: Arma II Free, Arma II: Operation Arrowhead (Steam) Timeline of events before/after error: Before: 1.

Go to multiplayer server browser, choose server 3. Successfully connect to server, receiving data After: 1. Wait for up to 2.5 hours, or give up and go do something else. 2. If successful, spawn with absolutely nothing, hear no sound, occasionally can't move.

Almost brand-new to the Arma scene, but not completely unfamiliar with it. I have a mic, but it's not hands-free, so it's not good for gaming. I'll probably be getting a new headset sometime in the next week or so, though. If anyone wants to team up or something, my contact info is in my signature. I'm on US Pacific Time, if that's a factor.
