Are there any types of errors being displayed when you try to click "Play" or "Change Server"?

This does already happen when you play DayZ retail. Not to an extent where the liquid items are leaking in which I think is a good idea but at the same time, the condition of it being "ruined" is just as good if you're unable to use the ruined items anyway.

Might be a possible feature.. If you know what I mean ;)

Try changing your interface size or aspect ratio?

This is one of the best interactions I've seen. Random acts of kindness goes a long way with survivors to enjoy their experience surviving even further. I wish this was more influenced rather than banditry being a more common encounter :) (Not that banditry is a bad thing) Edit: So take my beans as a reward and you are a great person. :)

I'd like to see an appropriate action like some of Tom Clancy's games or even Metal Gear Solid franchise made you open doors whether you'd open it slowly or just bash it open aggressively. This should also apply to the sounds of doors made out of certain materials such as a wooden door would make a loud creaking sound.

I assume that all sounds are placeholders since most sounds have been ported from Arma 2 (DayZ Mod) .. I hope the ocean sound isn't too harsh on the ears either. I thought I was the only one who thought it was quite a nuisance.

Probably for the Experimental version.

You'll need to drag the book to a desired hotkey function on the bottom of your screen in order to read them. Also, all books you find are complete. I am not sure if the condition of books are considered as a factor at the moment.

I'd recommend downloading DayZ Commander. Using Steam isn't all that useful in comparison to DayZ Commander and is the one I use for myself for all the files that you'll be required to use much easier than Six and Steam. Once DayZ Commander is downloaded, here's what I'd recommend. Re-install DayZ Mod through the DayZ Commander utility to ensure it is downloaded properly.Having Arma 2(or Arma 2 Free) and Operation Arrowhead with the proper CD-Key; make sure you have your game directories in the right location in which you can override if it's not.Install DayZ Commander! (Link above is completely virus free and is safe to download; source is from official website) By the way, this is the Standalone subcategory which isn't meant to post things related to the mod but no worries. ;)

Now it's embedded thanks to Inception :)

Playing DayZ is always a gamble, you'll win or lose something no matter what the circumstances are.

This will probably get worked on when they rework on the vehicles from scratch. The tech for the vehicles is about 10 years old so this sets a lot of limits for them and the reason why it'll be redone for the appropriate engine and quality requirements.

Mirrors in video games aren't very easy to do. They don't really represent the actual vision that you see in your perspective. If you look into the rear view mirror of a car in Arma 2, it's hard to make out of what's behind you. I believe this is fixed in Arma 3, not too sure though but this is a good idea for first person servers especially.

- Common zombie threats [Having to fight them or run from them regularly] For the most part, players often avoid them to save more ammo but this might make you more noticeable out in the distance in case a player is trying to kill you. Some times civilian zombies can drop items that can help you (Such as bandages, food, etc) .. Military zombies can drop some types of ammo. - Threat of players always around [Which has the most populated servers with great ping] The threat of players is something that should always be in the back of your mind. Don't take everyone as a threat unless your trust with them is completely ruined with your experience of playing the game, some players can be proven friendly and can help your overall survival. - Great amount of loot / faster respawns for loot/players Loot is quite easy to find, just depends on rarity. Loot's dispersed throughout enterable buildings and around destroyed vehicles(Helicopter crash sites, survivor camps) A little insight is that it's really up to your choice if you want to purchase Arma 2 for DayZ Mod or DayZ retail. The retail edition(for later development) is meant to fix most of the major issues that's represented in the mod that couldn't be fixed due to engine limitations, this may include: Hacking, performance issues, AI and others that I've missed. DayZ retail is quite early in development so it'll have some hiccups as well. The mod has a lot more to offer as of now but this might change quite soon.

It's a known issue related to the network bubble. Most sounds are currently placeholders as well. Even rabbits make zombie sounds ;)

Try screaming in direct chat. Usually most encounters happen in Balota Airfield or NW Airfield from what I noticed.

It's the same.

Agreed. Awhile I suffer from freezes which last for several seconds in DayZ retail, I do not have this problem in the mod. The only thing I'm really looking forward to is optimizations.

Good point. Never thought of that. :P

All of these are most likely going to happen. And yes, even pooping.

I like the lock idea. Something I've never thought of and I could see it happen.

DayZ seems suitable for the purposes of recording due to the proper camera angles and the stories they've probably heard so they would try to capture those experiences as well in the sake of whatever they're trying to pursue, that's if it's true. :)

Welcome to DayZ. Those encounters will be quite common in DayZ. Happened to me plenty of times. In the end, we all learn to adjust and become better :)
