Yes, its unfortunate, but this isn't the first time people haven't been able to connect. 1.7.1.4 (I think) stopped around 2000 people from being able to connect to any DayZ servers.

Have you installed the latest Beta patch for Arma 2? http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ Because you use steam you have to manually install the patch. Navigate to your steamapps/common/Arma 2 OA/expansion/Beta folder. Copy the arma2oa.exe and paste it back into the main folder. Its a good idea to make a copy of the current .exe, just in case. Rename it to arma20a123 or something.

Is everything up to date? - Battleye - DayZ Beta 1.7.2.3 - Arma 2 Beta version 94945? When you are joining servers you need to ensure that you are joining servers that have the same version of both your DayZ and ARMA 2 beta.

Could you post up your possible fix please?

Definitely single pay. Why? Because I have a feeling if you force subscription you would send the community down the hole. A lot of the people on here have happily bought Arma II simply to play this game. Studio produced. Within reason - I know that a lot of game publishers like to get heavily involved and can easily corrupt the original idea. (See : Diablo 3) We want this game to be the best it can be, but we want it to be YOUR vision, not some CEO faggot's (See : Robert Kotick) wet dream of in-game micro transactions and constant pay for DLC. I'm sure even if you looked for a publisher's backing for a stand alone (Which you would find easily as well), the community as whole would still be happy for you to set up a Kick Starter, so we can feel that this is OUR game as well, as you have said you want it to be. E: Also, community servers. With LAN functionality. You will make a large portion of the people on the fence BECAUSE it doesn't have LAN, happy.

I spawned in at the barn above Elektro, to hear M107 shots being fired at the sniper hill. So I run over there and find 2 guys getting loot off someone, kill them both with an Enfield. I wait around for my mate, who kills another sniper on the way to the bodies and we both loot them. They were all completely decked out, M107's, NVG, etc. Just next to them there was what looked to be a spawned in pile of stuff. I mean, ALOT of stuff. Canteens enough for all the bodies on the ground, food enough for everyone, all the different toolbelt stuff, etc. Funnily enough, we got out of there as quickly as possible. Then as we are in the forest above Cherno, we get killed by a sniper. Now thats all fine and dandy, a Sniper camping in the middle of nowhere. But then once we are both dead, the server restarts about 3 or 4 minutes after, seemingly enough time to loot our bodies, then restart the server without a warning to get rid of all the evidence. I believe that the Admin that was on the server at the time (Around 8:00 - 9:00 GMT+10), and his friends, the admin was up in the hills spawning (or duping) loot for his friends. If this isn't cheating/Admin abuse I don't know what is. If it is proven to be true the admin of this server should be removed.

I understand I might have come off like that, but its not the case. Getting the stuff back doesn't bother me. Admin abuse however, does. It was all a little to coincidental. And in no way did I ask for the server to be removed, we need as many as we can get. The admin in question should be removed from his position completely however.

I also have this problem.

There are now 620,000+ unique players. Your naysaying is moot. Move on with your friends.

Because its costs upward of $125 dollars a month. Otherwise I would host many servers, as we only have around 22 servers for ANZ.

Also those people saying "Dead space did it" : Those aren't children in the eyes of the people who rate games. They are clearly monsters, with a slight resemblance - only the shape of the head, really. Whereas killing an infected Human child (representing a live child basically) is a huge no-no. You won't find ANY single game with this feature, unless its added by a mod. And I challenge you to find a single game which has added it.

As this game will be standalone at one point, that entails it to being rated at some point. Child killing will give it an instant 18+ rating in all countries, and banned in others which have strict laws, such as Germany. Risk vs. Reward from a business perspective isn't worth it. It would be just to many headaches for Rocket, legally speaking.

If you look at my other posts on this forum you'll see that you are mistaken. Besides, I generally have better etiquette, this just my Aussie side coming out, when I talk in real life every 3rd or so word is C*** or fuck. Its just our way. Regardless, the guy has somehow fooled himself into thinking that he was forced to buy the game, and didn't like it, so he came here (among other topics as well) to whine. And I'm actually 20.

Honestly, I generally don't get angry and keep cool under most situations. But you are such a blatant moron its getting under my skin severely. You are acting as if Steam and Bohemia conned you into spending your money. You're a fucking idiot. Grow the fuck up you whiny bitch. Stop spewing your whiny 12 year old bile all over this forum. Its sickening.

I don't think it's bandwidth problems. Differing beta versions, differing DayZ versions, these are the main reasons people desync. Hence the dude from the UK on a 20mb line. These are the things that need to be regulated. Out of about 15 or so ANZ servers, only 6 or 7 are updated to 1.7.2 and the latest non game breaking beta patch. It's pretty pathetic.

Working as intended. You actually have to sneak and be relatively smart now. You can't just run past a zombie 20 meters away now.

ZedsDeadBaby.

Links please?

There is a trigger in game to change someone from a Bandit kill or a murder. If said person has activated the trigger then logs out, they should log back in unconscious.

Honestly its not that expensive to upgrade. I have a 9800GTX gathering dust at home somewhere, and thats from 5 years ago. You need an upgrade. Desperately.

*Earnestly awaits ZDB's reply

Do some extra chores or something. Don't buy smokes for 2 weeks. Lay down the bottle of booze for a while. $60 isn't much to spend on a game that makes all your wishes and dreams come true. DayZ is like a fluffy cloud land filled with hot naked chicks trying to eat you.

Sounds like admin abuse to me.

Its a fairly large no to adding any NPC factions other than zombies ATM I believe. Bases will be implemented at some point, Rocket believes. And customisable vehicles is a possibility, but how far will it go? i've seen a motorbike with a .50cal machine gun covered in sandbugs, making it a moving bunker. If this were to happen it would basically ruin the entire point of DayZ. I don't think you can distingiush between my example and a car with barbwire, so its either both or nothing, and I assume it would be nothing.

Unsure if you are referring to me. If you are, I tip my hat to your comprehension and/or reading skills. If not, lets be best buddies and meet up for some cokes and spaghetti.
