There he is again, this unholy Kyono. Now let's go and hunt Oshi7. :P

As long as everything is saved on one main server this will not happen.

My game works fine since the first time I installed Arma 2 and DayZ. Dunno what you guys doing with your game.

You have my beans.

Steam user: copy the arma2oa.exe from /Expansion/beta/ into the /arma 2 operation arrowhead/ folder and override the existing one. You need to do this with every beta patch you install. Or you create a separate shortcut for DayZ in Steam with the proper start parameters. See here, Step 8.

Because these guys are just bad at this game and can't fight real bandits.

english only und so

Ok, so here we go. I'd suggest to play the game before tweaking it. If it runs smoothly and you like the look, just leave it at that. But be sure to check out the big cities because your frames will drop there the most. I don't know about how 'veteran' you are at Arma 2, so I'll just leave some tips I learned while playing DayZ. For the multiplayer part I recommend to disable 'Postprocess effects' and 'Shadow detail'. Otherwise you might have trouble detecting hostiles far away or players with ghillie suits hiding in the forest. Set 'Terrain detail' at least to 'High' if you want to use sniper rifles. Terran detail won't affect close combat that much but on longer distances enemies' feet might glitch into the ground and you will miss-calculate the range if you use the scopes' mildot-system. Set 'Objects detail' at least to 'Normal' so you'll still be able to see through windows and stuff when you're far away from buildings looking through binoculars/sniper scope. Max. visibility in DayZ is forced to 1600. Ok, so here is something more: As for your player profile, use a black guy. White faces won't hide that good in green forests, will they? Change Game options/Blood to 'High' so you can clearly see if you hit someone. If you have a microphone and you really want to get in contact with other players I recommend to set VON/Microphone to max. Turn the music off! :P Oh.. and don't forget the only rule in DayZ: Do not trust anyone!

Playing as a "Boy" because you can't switch clothings with female skin. :P

I don't think so. If you wanna play on nighttime, just look for another server.

1. I'd say like in every other FPS. You should look for servers with <100 ping. 2. If the server is using BEC you can stay up to 180 seconds in the lobby, if I'm correct. Otherwise you could stay as long as you want to. 3. Try this and this.

You just need to change your resolution.

Sorry, no. While this would be a nice addition for beginners, this mod is still based on Arma 2. And there you don't play a Chernarussian. Just use dayzdb.com/map if you're not familiar with the map/city names.

Man, I can understand you. My squad just turned into Cherno-Campers and now I'm on my own. Playing as a lonewolf is really boring after you learned everything about DayZ.

Would be nice to know where you're from. At least the timezone.

I guess they don't like "{CQF}" members. ;)

1. Play with friends 2. Get medical supplies in Berezino 3. Look for heli crash sites, medical supplies can spawn there

Had a good laugh reading this thread. Server Hosting quick FAQ

After this post on reddit popped up and is the most upvoted post right now there (more than 400 upvotes above the second top submission), I did some research on my own and found even more servers being locked and connected to the hive. I'm posting this because I think most of the community getting cheated on by those who lock their server and are free to loot everything without being disturbed by anyone else. I also think these guys have to be punished if they do not follow the specifications given out by the dayz dev team on how to run their servers. See this post While there might be times when you want to test servers or just play with your friends, most servers I found are locked and filled with friends or clan members. I think this server (Image) is a good example of how to run a server if you just want to test something or play with your friends. Most of those locked servers are connected to the hive and people playing on it. (Complete image album) Maybe there are some guys just checking out their new acquired server. Well, I can't really tell. (Image) But this clan-play only on locked servers has to stop. Image #1 Image #2 Image #3 Image #4 Image #5 Image #6 Image #7 Image #8

As long as their server is connected to the main server, this is BS. If they aren't connected with the main database they can do with their server whatever they want. If not, they should be blacklisted for locking their server.

Ok, I got the message. Thanks for your advice!

Some servers are not connected to the hive. Try another server and you will have all your gear again and also spawn in that little house you logged off. Even better: Join the server you last played on.

~560m

And then you're on the roof and I'll shoot you with my AS50. :)
