    Unistalling Arma II ...

    DayZ "progress" is saved in a database according to your CD key. You can reinstall it and be right where you left off in DayZ when you get back. I did it last night.

    My rant on why DayZ is getting worse

    alpha test... don't expect perfection just because you spent time playing. i personally have no problem with the difficulty, can get equipped from scratch in no time. just be smart about it.
  3. make sure your render_w = render_h = in your config file are the same as your resolution... video memory set to default did you try those?
  4. I'm having the same problem... currently reinstalling everything from scratch. I couldn't think of anything else to do.

    Server : Atlanta US 286

    The equipment in your inventory will be saved if you go to a different server. Tents are buggy, so more than likely the stuff in them will be gone after the server restart anyway. Swimming can cause you to lose your pack, but if you crawl prone into the water sometimes you just crawl along the bottom instead of swim... keeping your stuff and not drowning.
  6. It gets easier, huge learning curve. Just a few things... - crawl prone when looting places, zombies will have a harder time spotting you - don't run unless you're far away from zombies - check out industrial sites for an axe early on, they're easier to loot - look for a DayZ map online, you'll learn it eventually

    Tents not saving inventory and dissapearing

    Same, I'm experiencing all of these issues.
  8. Same, having all these issues with tents at the moment.
  9. hit the . (period) key until you see "direct communication" in white letters in the bottom left of your screen. hold caps lock to speak through your mice, or hit / to start typing. Make sure you have your mic set up correctly in game too.
  10. You don't NEED two steam accounts but it makes the setup easier. The only thing that needs to be done is the CD Key for the game in your registry needs to change. However you manage that is up to you. I personally have two registry files on my desktop that contain the CD Key. I just dbl click the one for the character I want to play before launching the game. If i want to switch chars, shut down game, dbl click the other registry key, launch game again.

    Camping Tents

    I was assuming someone found my tent and looted it, although it was completely full maybe it was a group of people that looted me dry. Is there any way to protect a tent? I was thinking barbed wire, but then I couldn't get past it myself, bear traps?

    Can I run this game?

    yes, you can run this. if you load it up and have very low fps, then you may need to do some "tweaking". I play this game at 25+ fps with settings on very high on an Acer I bought at wal-mart 2 years ago with only a cheap video card upgrade.
  13. I think a lot of this are limitations of Arma 2, not necessarily the mod. The developers of the mod are working within what is capable of the engine. Just a reminder that this is still alpha, I know people don't want to hear that because their is so many people, but it's true. Give it time, and keep suggestions like this coming. I agree that little things like this can have a big impact on gameplay, but I trust they are working on frying the bigger fish at the moment with the resources they have.
  14. When you went to a new server, how much time did you actually give it before disconnecting again?
  15. So I was crouch running through the forest heading north with a rifle in my hands, the sun was in just the right position... A shadow of my self was cast ahead and to the right of me... For an instant it looked like another player was running to intercept me, also with a rifle. *Twitch

    Fire starting sources

    Just an FYI, you can light barrels on fire without matches. Like the one at the gas station and empty building frame thing on the ease side of cherno. So if you got meat and no way to cook it, find one of those barrels somewhere.

    Fire starting sources

    Just as you need to be in the woods to harvest logs, flint and steel can work the same. You must be in the woods so that there's leaves and duff on the ground to catch. As being very specific, that's why it should be more rare than a lighter. Spawning in a general store or wherever a tent may spawn as well.

    hacker on US 194

    LoL, thanks for the caps. don't think I could have read it otherwise.
  19. I did that while playing at night going from deer stand to deer stand. Ran up on a goat and literally jumped in my seat, twitched so bad my headset fell off.
  20. For days now I've been playing on US 865 hosted by SIC PWNage. In fact, there were two of these on the list with identical names, but different ping times for me. The one I had been playing on and had a tent full of stuff on is now not there. Does anyone know if the name was changed? If it is only a restart, do tents survive that?
  21. Couldn't tell weapons really, 1911's or makarov. Didn't notice any primary.
  22. Strange that for almost a week there were two on the list at the same time with different ping and different GMT-# in the server names. Whatever was the case, it's most unfortunate. I spent many hours setting up camp and raiding, collecting, etc... most unfortunate indeed. And more, the tent had my "good stuff" while I went back into cherno for a vehicle parts run. I suppose it's time to find a new home, and actually investigate the server more before deciding to make it long term. Thanks for the response. Now what to do with all these car parts and no weapon :unsure:
  23. I agree, last night I was creeping out of cherno with a full pack of goodies when two guys ran past dragging a bunch of zeds behind them. They literally ran right over me while I was prone in a bush and didn't see me. Made the adrenaline rush.
  24. There were definitely two on my list, the different between them was the time of day on the server. So strange, just my luck to pick a server for a home that never existed :facepalm: Joined the one that is still on the list and no tent full of sweet sweet loot :beans: Are there any logs I can check that would contain an IP address of servers i've logged into?
