It depends what the ping is lowered to, for some servers it can be around 100 (so only locals can play, less laggers) and that's fine, so it'd have to be pretty low to make it blacklistable.

I...don't know what you're trying to say, but all I know is that Six Launcher updated for me today (nothing really to do with Arma though), but Arma2 CO updated via steam, nowhere else, only on steam. When I launch the game via Six Launcher it launches it through steam though, so that might make a difference from someone who doesn't launch it through steam.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45184-arma-update-nerfed-revolver/ Pretty sure that's the main thread to go to, a fair few of us have been having this issue so it can't be tied to server lag. Headshots do still = 1 shot though, as usual.

Jesus, the ignorance coming from you makes me want to slap someone. So what if you don't have this issue? As you can see IF YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER POSTS A FAIR FEW ARE HAVING THE ISSUE, SO GET OUT OF THE THREAD IF IT'S NOT HAPPENING TO YOU AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO ADD EXCEPT "Oh you guys suck lol I'm 2g1bmlgpr0". Yes, I'm mad, there is no need for you to post in this thread about how it isn't affecting you and abusing others for saying it is, just stop posting here and move on to criticize others. Anyway, yes I'm also getting the issue as well as a friend of mine who definitely updated CO via steam. 2 others I play with however don't think they've updated it and can still 1-shot zombies with the revolver and m1911, so I'm 70% sure it's got to do with the update somehow.

It might help looking around before talking. I have never gotten lag on the server I'm on, updated CO, logged in, it takes at least 4 shots every single time to kill a zombie now, this is happening for me and a friend of mine, so yea, I'd say it's an issue.

Me and a friend have also been taking anywhere from 3-6 shots to kill a zombie with the m1911, I think they must've nerfed it somehow.

Yea, I was in TS with 3 people who were online at the time and they talked about being teleported and dying, a couple that alt+f4'd survived. Also people have been experiencing this all over the servers today, so I can't say I wasn't expecting it.

If I ever find one then I just make sure that I've got someone covering me, we kill all but 1 or 2 (so that it doesn't count the area as empty and respawn them) and then loot and run.

It's a good idea, but I don't really like the smoke idea. Helicopter crash sites are rare for a reason, because they have some epic loot on them. If you could find them just by looking for black smoke or a crashing chopper then the next thing you know 80% of players will have L85's or Bizons. As for the atmosphere, I guess you could say that (since they spawn on server restarts) the choppers went down before the server started back up, that's why you didn't see that. But to add on to your post; I think that they could finally find a use for radios. If you had one in your inventory you hear an AI voice crackling in and out going "Mayday, mayday, we have been hit and are going down at grid 029----" and it cuts off, so it doesn't pinpoint the exact location of the chopper, but it does say either an X or a Y coordinate so that you get a general idea, but not an exact area. That would also make it a bit more realistic, but again, not as rare as they are right now. Good idea overall, but it might make them too easy to spot.

This is funny, considering we found a GAZ and a Tractor near Devil's Castle not long ago, may have been yours if yours is missing. Also I saw a group flying around in a chopper, they managed to crash it and 2 of the bodies had NVG's so I'm not sure if they were spawned in or not.

No, in reality, you are not allowed to without proof of him/her disconnecting to avoid death/combat. Also mythTECH I think there's about a 10+ page thread about the server owners wanting to ban players straight up about this topic, so I'd say you should go have a looksie through that and that'll definitely answer your question.

Increasing the capacity would make bandwidth and servers cost more in general, so I don't see that happening. The 2-3 days per RL day wouldn't work, it ruins the immersion of time which is one of the key factors of this mod. Also I don't get the rest, are you saying that they should limit it so that you can only join servers in your own country or what?

I hope you're joking... You're telling the developer of the mod to shove it up his ass if he doesn't like you disobeying his 1 of only a few rules? IMO, his mod, his rules. As much as I'm for getting rid of players alt+f4ing to get out of dangerous situations I hate seeing server owners thinking they're top shit and can tell regular players to "get fucked" and not listen to the creator of the mod they're using. Just make sure you fraps or use some other recording device before engaging targets.

Not gonna lie, I love your server, it's one of the most lag-free funnest ones I can play on from Aus (since most of the Aus/close to Aus servers are always full), also the first server I've found a vehicle (well, multiple) on. Great server, love it :) (Play on it as Pedro)

This just happened to me with the same issue from Stary, just hit respawn, do the usual exit to player list and rejoin and it should be up and running again where you were before the respawn, worked for me and 2 of my mates.

Well, we were on an updated 1.7.2.3 server driving around and we found a helicopter crash site. My mate found an L85A2 AWS and was so happy he found it, now we were driving to go back to our camp and his computer crashed, thus causing him to log out. He then rejoined the server after starting it back up, but picked a different server by accident (1 digit up) and got the "Choose your gender screen" because it was an outdated server, he then logged back into the the server we were on after getting worried that all of his gear disappeared and was relieved that it was all there. He then noticed that the L85A2 was missing, now I'm assuming that's because he joined the outdated server, where the L85A2 was removed due to a bug, so it deleted it from his backpack. So the question is, is he able to get the gun back at all? Or should he just try to find another weapon to replace it?

This has happened a fair few times with me and a few mates, we put our weapons in a tent (CZ550 and M4A3 CCO) and our gear so we can go exploring a bit to find some extra stuff. When we put the tents down we save them, but sometimes it just doesn't cross our mind and we forget to save them after putting stuff in them, so when the server crashes/restarts we come back to the tents and, I'm not going to lie, get pretty mad that our guns and gear are gone, especially since some of the guns are pretty rare and we just found them, so here's my suggestion; An auto-save feature for tents, if it detects that you have changed the contents of a tent (put stuff in or taken stuff out) after you close the tent gear menu, it should automatically save it for you. That way people won't be unlucky when the server goes down/restarts and find all of their stuff missing. I'm sure that this would help out a lot of people. Also a second suggestion; just like your backpack, a number of empty and total slots in a tent (e.g Alice pack can have 8/20 (8 free out of 20 total)) so that we can tell if the tent is full before putting items into it, because, again, this has happened to our group, we managed to lose a GPS by putting an item into the full tent without knowing it was full. Great game overall, but those 2 little things are making me extremely sad when I lose items.

I remember reading somewhere that every 5 minutes stuff saves to the HIVE, but it was over 10 minutes at least since he picked it up as we had to drive back to the crash site (about 4 minutes either way) to get the ammo he dropped when he picked the weapon up. So it was well over the limit.

So around about 13 hours ago (Iast night at 9pm) me and my buddy were driving around in our GAZ that we've had for at least 5 days now (love lower-pop servers and lush forests to hide it in), we drive past Stary and we hear revolver shots coming from the military tents. We think "Crap, better drive off" because we're extremely protective of the vehicle, but then we decide "Screw it, doesn't matter, let's take them out". So we hide it in a tree, get out and head into the huge warehouse overlooking the tents. Once we're up there we try to find out who was shooting, we see lots of zombies agro towards the far tents, unfortunately there's a tree in the way, so we can't see at the end tents. More shots, this time an AK going off, only about 3 rounds though, sounds like it's in the treeline to the east of the tents. All of a sudden my mate calls "I see someone, he's crouching towards the tents from the trees, tell me if you've got visual". I didn't have visual, but all of a sudden, sure enough, a small figure wearing an Alice pack and carrying an AK comes crouch walking towards the tents, he decides to stop to assess the situation, not very smart. I line him up and take 3 shots with my M4A3, first shot was a headshot, second 2 were to make sure, I see a murder pop up, got the kill. Unfortunately that player alt+f4's very soon after death so the body disappears, no loot from him. We decide to go down because we assumed that he was the only player around, but we were wrong. I hear a few bullets, my mate and another player show up in the chat as being killed. Again, I think that that's everyone, since that was 2 people, but again, I'd be wrong. I see a female character with an enormous gun running directly around me inside the warehouse, I get a bit worried at the proximity and fire about 6-7 shots, another kill, that was the last person. Overall we lost one man, but they lost 3. I got 2 kills, my mate got 1 kill but died unfortunately. So I drove back to him after looting some stuff off of the 2 remaining bodies and picked him up, we then drove back to the warehouse, but one of the bodies had disappeared, luckily one remained, so he managed to get re-kitted, I gave him the DMR and the Range Finder. Just as we finish looting he's looking how to use the rangefinder properly on the internet, alt tabbed unfortunately, when I see a bullet hit the ground next to him (cloud of smoke) so I start yelling "Shots, shots, get back in here, get back in here" out of panic, I hear another shot, luckily it completely misses. We get in the car and drive the hell out of there. Overall loot: Range FInder AS50 DMR Bear trap Coyote Backpack GPS So yeah, that was my first 2 murders and my first Range Finder, AS50 and Coyote Backpack I've ever found (found a bear trap before, but I then got shot and the player must've stolen it).

It's just the one slot, haven't placed it yet but I'm keen to put it somewhere and see what happens with it.

I've definitely got no shock since I've taken 3 painkillers so far, but every time I log back in (at least 3-4 hours apart) I just drop on the ground and have to wait about 5 minutes, this is ridiculous, first time I've had it happen to me.

I have noticed this problem a fair bit with servers, 99% of the time it does nothing, but just yesterday I just keeled over and died near a tree, luckily my mate was nearby and told me I was frozen in the middle of a field getting shot at, that was because of the connection error. Also it says that the need to reload crowbars/hatchets has been fixed, every hatchet I've picked up still needs to be reloaded to be used. Other than those 2 things no major issues, minus the ghillie suit bug (stupidly, I didn't read about it and lost everything bar my toolbelt and backpack), but that's a known bug. Edit: Also I have noticed zombies being agro'd from a lot further away now, I could be crouch running in a field at least 200m from a town and a random zombie could come running towards me.
