Hi, I'm getting a new PC. Is there any way I can deinstall Arma2+DayZ on my current computer and reinstall it using the same key without having to buy the game again? I bought it through Steam. I found this thread where they suggest to just move the Steam folder to the new computer. But, is that actually going to work? http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/12695/how-do-i-move-steam-games-to-a-new-computer-without-re-downloading-them I can remember from Norton/Adobe products that they somehow detect that you're trying to launch the already used cD key with a different pc. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

So I've left a truck full with cool loot just north of Elektro uphill at the power plant. It's dark and the truck has its lights on. http://postimage.org/image/tu3y7dfjb/ There is at least a FN FAL AN/PVS4. And a M26 M24 with more than enough ammo. It's on server DE 2408 http://postimage.org...1epbl/a0e84e96/ I won't be around to snipe you. I promise. Just let me know if you've found it and are happy with the guns. BTW, if you follow that road up north, near Topalko dam there is an intact helicopter for you to play with. I just passed it and there is no one around. You're welcome! Send me a message if you need some more ammo to go with that FN FAL AN/PVS4. I got some spare clips. See you tomorrow.

Did you get it?

I assume you guys are in the East Coast, US? IUn that case a European player like me would have a too high ping to join?

Double tap left shift and see what magic happens. It's also in the game controls section.

I can help you. We can log in together and I hold on to your sniper rifle for you.

It's not hard to lose them in a chase. Turn around some corners or bushes and roll away.

He's right. I just had a holiday in Scotland and couldn't understand a word they were saying. Had a great time tho.

Sounds like you guys are having alot of fun. But... Forever alone level is over 9000!

This mod is designed to kill you. Deal with it. They are not zombies but infected. Thus they can have super running powers. Just like your character who always has a near-brain-meltdown fever of 42 degrees. He can also run forever. Stay prone when approaching zombies, don't stand up and walk/crawl slowly. Don't go into villages as there is no good loot there. When running away from Infected (I still like to call them zombies) try to walk around a corner or bush to get out of their line of sight. Then go prone and roll the hell away.

Or healing broken bones with morfine. The extent of realism can only go so far. Otherwise the game would tell you to limb around in a cast for 6 weeks after you break a leg. Even with people getting shot, I guess you can get pretty far in saving them with a blood bag, some bandages and a defibrillator. Head shot = permanently dead, otherwise can be saved with a defib. I like the idea. But in my opinion it may be just as rare as a NVG.

You could also use the smell with a sort of wind-direction. They will not smell you if you crawl against the wind direction. (I'm unsure how to say this in English, but the direction of the wind is coming from them, towards me.) But if I was crawling with the wind coming from me towards them, they would smell me and aggro. Basically in the same way as game smells a hunter. It would add to realism and also to difficulty when navigating a town trying to avoid zombies.

I'd like to see zombies that make a distinct sound when they've spotted you or, when they're about to attack you. added to DayZ. Right now there is this sound a zombie makes that sounds to me like "Ah aha wooo hoo ahha haaaaa" and it constantly freaks me out because I think I'm detected. But it is just roaming. There is no way to hear a zombie that's charging for you. To me it would add some realism, and it would prevent me from spamming the alt button and wanking the mouse left-right all the time to spot aggroed zombies. PS I figured this would have been suggested a couple times before. But I've used the search but could not find any related posts.

Random screams are fine, just to freak you out completely. In fact that's awesome. But that's what they do at the moment. I just like to see an addition that when they are chasing you they make some noise that they otherwise wouldn't make. Some sort of panting or anything really.

It's a dumb dead zombie. Outrunning it won't work, running away and trying to get out of it's line of sight does. It will lose you and check out your last position. So run behind a bush or around a corner, go prone and roll out of the way. If I ever encounter a zombie in real life (like my wife on her period) I woudn't want to punch it or attack it with a stick. Run away out of sight until they lose aggro works better.

Barns and deerstands. But good luck with using one when you try to loot some place and aggro some zombie. Then you'll wish you had your axe on hand.

It would be less confusing if you write short sentences. Also try to use a dot to mark the end of a sentence. A rule of thumb is to make sencenses with about twelve words. And yes, I had this glitch once for a short period. After that I've learned about the hive and non-hive servers. I've figured that had something to do with it. After about two (maybe three) switches it stopped. Edit: if you DC one more time they should change your name to queefburger.

I've spawned in buildings twice. The characters legs were in the ground, so only the waist was above the floor. I could move but crouching meant instant death. Broken legs and bled out quickly.

I like to play cautiously. Use cover of the woods etc. Sometimes I like to go into the big cities. That's always an adventure. But dangerous so I won't do that with good equipment. My favorite weapon is a crossbow. It helps in approaching a loot spot to take down a zombie or two who are in my path. And when used correctly it basically has unlimited ammo. But it is not much of a weapon against other players. So I try to avoid other players.

Count the bullets. Adds some extra realism to the game. Feeling lucky... punk?

So I was telling some guy at work about this mod. I told him to google it and watch some video's about it. He and others came back after a few minutes and called me a homo. Next time I should tell them the correct way to spell DayZ. Not DayZee... http://www.dayzee.com/

Hit abort, disconnect and when you are back in the lobby, hit connect (forgot the name of the button). Other than that, no. The respawn button kills you instead of respawning you :)

Hi, today I've picked up a map in the supermarket in Cherno. When I opened it it had marks on it. The same marks you get when double-clicking it. The marks said 'go here'. I wanted to go there to check it out but I didn't have time. When I logged back in on a different server later on in the day, the marks were gone and the map was empty. I searched the wiki and apparently tents and helicopter crash sites are server specific. What were dose marks? Are all maps pre-marked when you pick them up?

Seananners!

Aha that makes sense. So my markers with 'my tent is here' were not so smart after all. lol One other question, on the map the blue drop like shape is you. When you hover over it it sais 'survivor'. On this same map I saw every now and then brielfy an orange drop like shape and when hovering over it it said 'man'. I tried to follow but lost. Sometimes I saw a group of these markers. Are these other plauers in the vincinity? This also works for bandids in cherno/elektro?
