Teach (DayZ)

Indeed, it's funny how people flame those who actually do what alpha/betatesters are meant to do, and that is reporting bugs/hacks/glitches etc. Great job guys!

What you need to do is go to your Windows Control Panel -> Sound, and there you need to go to the "Communications" tab and check "Do nothing" for "When Windows detects communications activity". This will prevent the communications programs from taking priority over everything else and mucking things up. (If you cannot find the "Sound", you need to look at the upper right corner of the Control Panel and set the "View by" to either large or small icons)

Well they can, but that will get them blacklisted with certainty

Try completely shutting off DayZ when you see the artifacting, this should get rid of them in your immediate area

I understand your frustration, I'm sure each one of us have had a similar thing happening to us. But as The2ndlink said, this mod is still an Alpha (Or rather mislabeled Beta), so stuff like this will continue to happen. Our job is to test it out and report any bugs we encounter to make the final product better. Also as 2ndLink said, you did pay for ArmA 2, and no matter how you feel about that game does not change the fact. Also worth mentioning is that you shouldn't openly bash HFB for something they have no control over.

You need to e-mail them. The e-mail address is on the support page

I suggest you try to remap the "Previous" and "Next" in your controls. That worked for me when I encountered this problem

There is a simple fix for this, you just need to get shock/concussion again and wait it out. The best and the safest way to do this is to have a mate shoot you in the leg with an ineffective gun ie. sidearm

This is called artifacting, almost everyone is getting it since the 1.7.2.4 patch, there are a few available fixes. To name a few: 1. Hold down your shift + numpad- keys and type FLUSH with your keyboard 2. Turn VSync off and on again 3. Set your video memory to default

Have you tried flushing yet? If not, hold down Shift+numpad - and type FLUSH on the keyboard. You can also try turning VSync off and on again.

PM sent

I'm pretty certain you have already tried it, but oh well, better safe than sorry: Try disabling and enabling your VSync and if that fails, a complete shutdown of the game will clear the artifacts from the immediate area

This was caused by a faulty battleye update the last time around, and I am guessing this is the case again

If you are running DayZ from Steam, I recommend validating your cache, that usually fixes this particular problem.

Some servers, like the ones hosted by Vilayer, have another hidden config file that the server providers need to change. I recommend trying to contact the server provider and seeing if this is the case

No, there is an easier solution to this problem. You need to get shock again somehow and wait it out without disconnecting. The best way to do this is to have a mate shoot you in the leg with a sidearm. This works every time.

This will happen again if you use Skype or any similar program. To prevent it from happening in the future, you need to go to your Windows Control Panel -> Sound -> Communications tab and check "Do nothing" for "When Windows detects communications activity:" If it's not set to that, Windows will give priority to a voice communication program and lower the volumes of everything else producing sound.

That's a great concept, I commend you on your work!

I like this idea, it will separate the so called "CoD kids" and those who enjoy the actual realism(I'm using this term very loosely) of the game. But then again, I'd like to see more back and forth between the community and the developers about the changes and maybe ask our opinions every once in a while. For now it's tolerable since it's a mod that supposedly hasn't made Rocket any money, but players being left in the dark until right before an update won't fly in the stand-alone.

He could try adjusting the interface size in the advanced video settings, that MIGHT fix it

So to clarify from the very beginning, I am not trying to get unbanned here, I have already sent out an e-mail to BE. What I am wondering if anyone else is getting this and if so, please post it here. Also the server logs show that two other players were banned exactly the same time as I did. So if this happened to you, please post it so I can confirm that it's a false positive

Yeah, apparently I failed to refresh before posting this :D And the problem seems to be fixed now
