I was thinking it would be cool if when a player repairs a vehicle it would be locked and only he can use it (or players in his team, if team features would be added), and other players would need X item in order to steal it. Something like, the player who repaired the vehicles has the keys, and other players can get the vehicle only if they have a toolbox to hotwire it or something like that. Right know to get a vehicle repaired and working it take a lot of items, so it makes sense that to start a stolen vehicle you would need at least one item like a toolbox.

Did you have a high ping? I got kicked with the same message "You have been kicked off the game" (no other explanation) sometimes and i looked like an admin kicking all players with > XXX ping manually.

Don't forget the unlimited food & drink and any other consumable, I guess that's why most of the times snipers only have one of each. But I think that will only be fixed in the standalone.

Lets hope another server admin can come here and help, i know there are some on these forums. And I really want this issue to be resolved, Im tired of getting snipped while im behind 4 walls or in the middle of the forest.

I know about "verifySignatures = 2;" (Default = 0. Weak protection = 1. Full protection = 2.) but not sure if it's what you are looking for. Check http://community.bis...wiki/server.cfg Maybe you need to use: onUnsignedData = "kick (_this select 0)"; // unsigned data detected to kick them when they have invalid or missing pbo files.

Axe does kill zombies with one hits. Easiest way to find your first weapon is in barns or deer stands. To lose zombies find big trees or pines and zig zag, once you lose the line of sight from the zombie crouch walk away, always looking back to see if the regain line of sight, If they do, repeat. Also, yesterday I found a weird way to lose the zombies, near the supermarket on Zelenogork, there are some big rocks you can walk up to and it makes you invisible to zombies.

I know, why would I "lol" otherwise.

lol, haven't noticed the change since 0 hours 49 min

I already had Threaded optimization off (I changed all those settings while trying to get a few more fps on dayz), and updated drivers about a week ago. But still saw the graphic artifacts on balota with 1.7.2.5 :(

Well there are no rules that could apply to every encounter you have. Yesterday I saw a guy with a hatchet and I told him "hey do you want a weapon?", he walked towards me and tried to hit me with the hatchet, he did hit me once at the same time i shot him, we both fall unconscious and as soon as I woke up I finished him off. (now my humanity is below 0 because of that ¬¬) I would say try talking them before they see you, but still most people shout "friendly" and then they try at kill you at the first opportunity.

Where did you find the radio? You either scripted in your gear or got it from a cheater.

Some people uses the RAMDisk software to create a "virtual hdd" that is faster than any physical hdd, and they put only their DayZ folder there and then edit the shortcut, this is supposed to give better performance (I've tried it and saw no difference but lot of people say they do saw an improvement). So you may as well just try copying the dayz folder to the SSD and editing the shortcut to test if it works better, it would just take a few minutes. Here's the source where I got the RAMDisk info from:

I know you can move the DayZ folder anywhere and then just edit the shortcut from -mod=@DayZ to -mod=@H:/location/DayZ or wherever you have the folder. But not sure about moving the entire arma game.

I think its a bug, some people said downgrading to 1.7.2.4 would "fix" that bug, i haven't tried.

I recently updated DayZ to 1.7.2.5 and Arma 2 to 95948 after a few weeks of not playing. Now everytime I logout, and later login to continue playing, i respawn at the coast, will all the gear I had when I logged out. Just the location changes and it always seems to be the coast, most of the times on the same city i was when I logged out, but not always. Also I think it may have to do with the fact that sometimes i alt+f4 while the game is stuck at the loading screen when trying to join a server, until i find one that works fine. Becuase the times I didn't got moved into a different location, I got into the first server I tried, without getting stuck at loading and alf+f4ing. It seems that everytime I close the game when it gets stuck at loading i spawn on the coast when I login. Does anyone else is having this problem?

You know cheaters sometimes turn people into cows or other animals, maybe the dog was the cheater and he spawned all that gear in front of you, just for the lulz.

It wasn't happening to me with a +10 days character I had before updating, but then i updated, played for a few days without problems. But I got bored of my character and protecting my gear so I aggroed some zombies to get me killed, and since then I started having this problem. I will try the alt+tabbing when Im stuck at loading, thanks for the suggestion AngryKaze. Btw, the graphic artifacts still happened to me in 1.7.2.5 near balota hangars.

Thanks for the response guys, I guess I will just stop playing again until the next release. If I downgrade I'll just keep playing and not working like im doing now :P

Are they already implemented on the game or only the ones spawned by hackers exists?

I though verifySignatures = 2; was used to prevent the exploit that removes trees and buildings.

Well maybe he uses the glitch that removes buildings and trees, so he can see anyone coming to get him from miles away, lot of snipers do that.

Well, pwnage13371 now has a PDW SD, and he didn't hacked it in. So why the guy he took it from has to be the hacker? I have one too btw, got it from a dead body. But I am about to drop it because i'm bored of protecting my gear, I want a fresh spawn.

Where did you get that info from? I've never seen hacked weapons disappearing after a server restart (i got a pdw sd from a dead body). I wouldn't mind if the hive gets completely restarted, but can you imagine the amount of people crying about they lost their gear, will be as annoying as the hackers.

I think they are from brasil, google this You will see some results like counter strike servers that seems to belong to that clan and they are all from brasil, also some of the XXT dayz players I saw on google are portuguese. Also just found: http://www.blogger.com/profile/03103454726470926462 definitely brazilian guys.
