Right 2 things you make no sense. 1. Lil gangsta? This is the 21st century not the 90s. 2. On my box? formatting? If you are not being helpful then please, go waste your own time than someone elses. Better yet? Why are you not in school if you are trying to be a jerk. If you are then you are a very very very childish man because your profile shows you are 39 Years Old... and I am way more mature than you.... I do feel sorry for you. Maybe step away from the computer and do some growing up :)

My game still crashes using Steam but works with SixLauncher. Hope it gets fixed soon because I want to run Steam overlay... I brought my games in steam, to run insteam...

If you loaded in with no gear and on a different spawn spot, like a new character. Escape> Respawn> Escape Abort> Disconnect and press Okay... So it loads back into the game and you should be in the old position with all your gear. Works for me!

Tried and does not work. Still crashes to desktop via Steam and Six Updater gives me the cannot edit mission crap or failed to connect. Does not work at all! EDIT: I just deleted the @Dayz folder, and then went to Six Launcher and pressed install, tried a game through Six Launcher and works... So far. Tried it through Steam and it still crashes to desktop. I hope this gets fixed because I need my game to run through Steam, as I need and use the overlay on a big scale so best fix it soon!

Alot of people are having this issue. I have tried all the fixes people claim to do and none have worked for me and very very frustrated now. I just want to play!

Tried and tested and did not work. Followed it and no work! I've followed it to the T and still crashes to dekstop saying not working. Annoyed with this now!

Hello, I was playing yesterday fine. Loads in today and now my exe crashes. I've completely reinstalled the game and done it all and now if I join a game via Steam it loads in and then the exe crashes saying Arma 2 AO has stopped working. If I do it via the beta.cmd or beta launch file, it says I cannot edit the mission, blah blah blah. I am using all the latest. I run the Beta Patch and it says wrong CD key. I've done a completely bran new download and install of ALL the files and still this problem. I now cannot play. Anyone got any idea on how to fix this and be able to play? Thank You!

Yes done all that. Was working fine earlier and since a reinstall. Now it is not.

Completely rebooted my PC and doing the first comment as a test. EDIT: Done the above links and STILL the same problem. Did not help!

Hello, (Edit - Sorry for the lost post, got carried away and did not know it was that long) I typed them here because it saves space making lots of little threads all over the place. This is my first post on this forums. I've not long been playing Dayz and I love it so much, I've not even gone back to BF3 or anything else. Dayz has taken over my life. I watched the video with the Interview with Rocket and got me thinking on something he's said. 1. If the game went to a standalone game I would throw my money at you so fast, you would be blurred. Standalone you could improve upon the game and add things that are more pleasing for a zombie game, and take things out like 90% of the armoured vehicles, heli's because they are not being used. Only some of the vehicles are. Also world increase could be good. Do not worry on the size, Max Payne 3 is 35Gb and campaign not even that long. This would not have a campaign kinda.... So 40Gb of pure content, survival and special things like some of the things I've typed below. 2. Bandits tool. Me and a few friends find each other after many many hours or running alone, and we get some good stash from some raids, only to be killed by some bandits. This is extremely annoying and I know this would be a fact of realism but why not... Something like awareness on bandits. So if a bandit is around they are marked red or something in an area they are located. Like the white marks on the side of the screen for zombies but a bright red one for the location of a bandit. Not the full location just the area around they are. (They are proper proper annoying, players just being total c**ks because they cannot do it themselves) Only for 5 murders and above they show up, so people can avoid them if they wanted too because I would and do not want to play on a server where people murder others... 3. Spawning.... When you first spawn into the game you are random spawned onto the shore or inland and then take hours upon hours finding your friends. Why not a spawn selection BUT area not a specific location. So we could select South West area, and it will spawn us on the shore south west some where. So we still got to find out friends but it is an area not completely jotting all over the place... Also only allow the shores a spawn place... No inland just shore. 4. No objective is good, and no safe zones... BUT... Why not right at the tip top of the map, past the airfield.. Make a base or a wall that is safe.. So you can go in there, get ammo, guns, food etc and then venture back out to look for more survivors. Good idea on the ground that it's a massive run across the map and you'd need to stop and eat, but it is the idea of making the run to safety to find it and only run back out to find others or something you know? 5. If the game went standalone it would be good but needs to have a mission I think. Maybe setup camp, fortify the camp, go out for supplies. If you died then have to get back to your base to rearm up... Unless someone else has taken and raided it. So the ability to baricade windows. Move stuff, knock wood into the windows and doors etc. (That would make alot of noise too) Would have to find steel nails, or make them from a factory press.... That be a long trip for some nails lol. 6. Ability to run our own servers for friends etc, Also allow the ability to take the characters from our servers to others, seeing as Battleye is on why not. I would like to host my own server from my PC. Play online with friends in comfort with battleye protection... and if someone joined and killed one of us. I would ban them, and other players could join in and play too, friendly. If we turned Battleye off then the server should go in offline mode, so the characters cannot be carried to the other servers. Battleye 0 is cheats and no hive mode. Battleye 1 and the hive works and can be taken all over. Only so murderers can be banned so we can enjoy the game for what it is.. I love this game, I really do. If I put aside the bugs and glitches, like the zombies running super fast to catch up, running through walls, or dropping from the sky etc, the list is kinda big. It does not annoy or bother me. It is the bandits that really really REALLY annoy me. If you are a bandit then please get a life... and go play COD or some other game. The game has alot of potential but I do not think Arma is the game for it. Yes it is big, and yes it has alot but look at the game themselves. The Arma games are buggy as hell. I've found alot of them in the game, and the controls are insane. There are sooooo many controls it is insane to even sit there and read them. Massive open world zombie survival has never been done before. There is no game like it, so I think it is unique. Dead Island, Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead, Killing Floor etc, the list is big are all VERY linear games. One way of approaching it, and this is the only game I can think of that you can do what you want, got to eat, cook, camp, drink, gets tired etc... Why not add other things like: Cooking time must be a certain time or you can under cook food and become sick, so the character is sick and needs pills to get better... fishing so we chop down a tree, make a line, get cloth and get fishing for food to cook and eat with hunting knife. Digging a hole or trench so we can dig out a hole or gap into a mountain, into the floor or something so that we can dig into a mountain and stop the zombies from climbing up... But then light a fire in the cave would glow out massively and attract them, and they'd wait at the bottom... Try to escape that people... :P (So we could dig kinda deep but a limit you know.. Chat Channels are helping. Global so I can type and see how people are on the other side of the world like. Taking them away was a little silly... They help. Ability to create a shelter.. So using the cloth we've found or taken from zombies we could use to make string or something, and close trees depending on the lenght, we could hang it up and put leaves across it... So like Rocket said (he's from the military) he should know. Making a base without a tent, so we could also use the digging hole trick to set traps. Dig a hole, string and leaves over the dop, people/ zombies walk over, fall in and stuck inside. Easy kill zombie, or survivor found bad accident. Clothes and cloth comes alot of options. So wrap around a steel bolt, set on fire.. Becomes a fire arrow, shoot at zombies, or poor petrol around floor and shoot at that, stop zombies getting through fire, or buildings on fire. Ridable horses, so only in farm lands... We find horses in a barn or something. Saddle on the wall, mount it and ride off. 2 people per horse too, and some barns have 4 horses. Minimum in each barn 2. Ability to climb a tree. So we walk up to a tree and climb right to the top, to look out and get bairings so we know where we are. Also, why not ability to start off with a pistol, but only.... 5 shots in the gun. That is it. Gives you a little chance. So a basic pistol with 5 shots and that is it, but make the gun so you cannot find ammo for it. Like add a special one off 5 shot ammo gun, so something that does not use any other ammo around and once the 5 shots are gone, they are gone. That is it, must find another gun. Radios are useless to me, because I play with friends and we talk over Skype an ingame Radio for other players I mute about 99% of the time, because some peoples voices are annoying and sometimes it's some 13year old kid screaming like a girl. So I prefer to type chat to other players around the game. Playing on an offline server, with cheats enabled is fine. It is offline and their server so they can play it how they like, and should not be bannable because it is their server, their game and it is offline, so if Battleye is turned off.... The game will not go live and only offline, so cheat away. No character carry over. As soon as it goes live and you load it. If you've been on a different server or something online then your character shall be loaded, just saying... I've been on an offline server and cheats just made it SUPER boring and no fun, went back online to a battleye server and doing the game it is ment to be played is just pure amazing. I've got lots and lots of ideas it is just typing them down when my head is full of the ones I am typing down, lol. Well thank you for taking time to read this post. Been writing down off the top of my head, and forgot most of them as I've been thinking how to work something, lol. Hardcore Servers (Veteran) and normal changes Then option for a hardcore server comes in... Hardcore could have nothing on the screen. No markers no food have to relay on sounds. Belly rumbles. Blood spitting out to heal. Thirsty sounds could be grasping for breath. So then that could be nothing on screen for people. Hardcore and normal servers. Heatpacks? I've never ever used a heatpack and never ever had a problem or needed to, so is there is a problem there? Rain should make you colder quicker right? Also needs more zombies. Way more zombies. Need them walking randomly around the forest. Way more in the big cities, like alot more of them. Sorry BF3 but Dayz has beaten you. If you do not like them, then do not post. I have posted this because I think that they are a good idea. Some people are obviously scared on other peoples oppinions than their own, so I do not care. This is what I think would be good, which is why I have posted it here. If you think they are terrible then fine, save your breath because I do not care. Kind Regards, Menphuess!

Hello, Quick random question. How do you know if vehicles are on a server? Or are they on anyway? Me and friend spent 9hours running around the entire map, started at Cherno and went far right, up and around to the top airfield and then weaved back down and did not find a single one to fix or do up. Not sure if they are on all servers or turned off. Also I know what 3D thing is, but what is the CH: on/off thing mean? Not sure what CH is. Been on Dayz all day today so off to bed, just want to know what servers have them on so we can play and find them. Too much running lol. Thanks

Oh tight. Thank you for the info. Hmm. Hard to find.

Hello, I've got a question... Am I wondering if there is any servers where you go can enjoy and still be online with Battleye and play for survival against zombies instead of being killed by the scum bandits? I ask because player killers are ruining the game for me and my friends and we are getting very very angry at these scum people, we spend hours getting decent stuff to be killed by some scum online. It angers me so much, you know the mucus at the bath of your throat? That you spit out onto the floor, and it's green? That is scum and that is what I see the player killers like. Proper proper angry at them, so I'd like to play with friends and enjoy ourselves with zombies and no arses. Thank You!

Ah that is very true but then farming? Zombies are still on so still be hard.

Yes I own those games and bore the hell out of me now. I love Dayz I really do, it's just I want to play with friends and survive AGAINST the zombies not against players. Right Thank You Ravin!

Hello, After the new patch I was reset and I've seen some people having the same problem. I loaded into a server, was on the shore. I pressed respawn, then disconnect so was at lobby of server, then okay again. I loaded in was in my old position with all my stuff. So basically respawn, drop out to server lobby (With all the other player names) and then back in and should be back. Hope this helps the people with the problem, it helped me! Thank You!

Hello, Since the newest update on the game, besides the other bugs I cannot access my iron sight. I know it is Numpad 0 and I've not changed it, upon pressing it nothing happens. I can go 3rd person but that is it. I can only shoot where I think the best place to fire from, I cannot aim down the gun. Any idea's? EDIT: FIXED, I had to drop the gun and then pick it back up for it to work. Thank You!

Ah good. Well it works for me and my friends so in total that is 11 people I can confirm for that work :) If you have done stuff since then, go pack full and other gear I do not think it will work.... Only on a fresh reset I think.

The bandits are making me go off this game. Do not get me wrong the game is amazing, the concept is amazing but spending hours upon hours finding your friends, loot shops and towns and then getting good stuff, and heading out to explore and getting killed by some scum online bandit..... Starting to turn me off the game because I do not want to play with them..

I was a little skeptical at first, so I had the cash and brought the Arma X pack with all the games. Installed Dayz, gave it ago and as soon as I got moving and got used to keys I was hooked. I am not kidding, it is an awesome game. The best mod ever released and there is no other game like it... Yeah there are plenty of zombie survival, but this is SURVIVAL. Food, drink, temperature, noise, light, etc... Amazing game. The only downfall is bandits. Getting killed with good gear is extremely annoying.. Other than that it is amazing. Worth every penny and it gets updated alot so bugs are slowly getting ironed out. Watch videos and see what you think. It is a slow paced realism game man.

When you log out. You stay where ever you are until you log in. You could run to the middle of a city stand there and quit. He will be there even until you log in the next time. It is not like the sims... Do not worry. Unless you get the bug like me where each patch resets your character, then you will be fine. He will remain where you left him, so make sure you are safe for a safe spawn :)

Agreed. I would love to build defenses, maybe shelters in the forest military style, make a boat to raid a ship full of zombies. Challenge on the game for things like that.

What about some of the broken rowing boats near the shore? Fix them with wooden planks that are used with the fire, row out stock it up and row back. Also because they are boats from the military zombies are bound to be there so risk it and board and go through or leave it...

Hello, I've noticed with each udpate that gets released, like biggish ones the characters get reset? Why is this the case? To be honest I think it's a stupid thing. Me and friends have spent hours getting to a specific location with specific kit only to be reset with an update... Personally it's a stupid idea and should just carry over. Thank you!

I agree. I've made a few posts and had alot of negative back. Also I've seen an awful lot of negative posts from alot of users in these forums, and neverseen so much before. It is sad because it puts me off visiting these forums and I am sure others feel the same.
