are you telling me zombies can see clearly at night??! i havent played at night yet but if they can see you well enough to chase you down easily that seems unrealistic, unless you have flares around at the time of the attack

im not talking about DAYZ, im talking about all the ARMA2 BETA patches we need to keep updating and losing ability to connect to any older version servers i know DAYZ is in alpha, dayz is hardly ever updated, im clearly talking about the arma2 beta patches

usually ill find a barn with a zombie glitched inside the middle and 2ft inside the floor, completely stuck zombies still see me through most walls or buildings if im walking upright, and they walk through walls and ALWAYS through doors, i have never seen a zombie have to open a door, its annoying

well whatever is the problem its just annoying to have to update so many times a week (literally every day) and then having to change servers i play on or make sure im on the newest server version. its just too much. maybe dayz can collab with the arma guys and put out patches with more changes at once

im still having problems with zombies spawning right next to me or at very awkward times just today i lost my amazing character build because i stopped to minimize my game LITERALLY 1km from the farm i was just at, between towns, and in the middle of absolutely NO zombies, and somehow in the 30sec i was afk a zombie had run up and knocked me down, i lost nearly all my health and shortly died of blood loss. such a bad glitch i hope they fix it soon

can someone please explain to me why the latest 2 of any new arma2 beta patches all have the same changelog entries at the top of the file? they always have either previous version changelog information or nothing new over the latest few patches. i would like to know exactly what the new patches are doing

k first off dont update to the newest beta right away if you dont want to lose ability to connect to your favourite server. wait till its a widespread update to all servers. and can anyone plz tell me what 95168 does!?!?! i swear the last 4 beta patch changelogs have not given a SINGLE NEW bit of information for what the new patch does. what do the new patches actually do!~? seriously the changelogs dont give any new information for each of the latest patches.

http://dayzwiki.com/...laylegend== this is the link to the day z wiki page http://dayzwiki.com/...owns_and_Cities but the first link is a fully amazing googlemaps style map of the day z world. use it to get around easier and know where to go. just look at town signs and match where you are. helped me so much! finally found the airstrip, got an ak. going to a city now it doesnt have a full legend, so it wont tell you where to get guns and such, but it will let you know where you are and how to get someone better. happy trails fellow noobs! :D

thats weird, i effed up my beta and battleye, tried six launcher with the new update and it completely fixed all my issues

lol tracers? i have seen maybe 4 types of guns so far and ive played for 12 hrs at least, its hard enough to find a gun that goes with the 6 types of ammo i find in 10minutes let alone a gun that shoots night time bullets :P

k cool thanks. also in your server filters, what is a tracer? is that something in the game? not sure what that is, im still nooby so bare with me :D

ok but what is normally for you? just like 2 or 3 quick steps, how did you update when a new beta comes out?

HUH??? no one would use a pistol if the hachet became more useful? have you ever played this game? pretty sure you cant fight/hold off 4 zombies at close range with just a hachet. pistols are useful for that, as are other guns. hachet needs to be a sidearm or at least easier to carry alongside other guns. if i run out of ammo, what do i do now?! cant hachet anything cause i dont have a hachet cause i cant carry it. so its either play with HACHET only, or use a gun and run out of ammo and instantly die. makes it less fun in the long run

k so just wondering, if i download the new beta patch right now and install the exe, will joining a game (not using six launcher, lets just say ill use dayzcommander) autoupdate my battleye as well? or do i need to manually update my battleye after updating my beta manually? i have just had many problems with doing this and recently had to go through a whole mess reinstalling battleye

yo dotjosh will using ONLY dayzcommander be able to update my battleye as well as the beta patches? i had some issues while using six launcher and my beta kept reverting back so i had the loading crash error, i fixed it but i just dont want to repeat my mistakes how would you recommened updating the arma2 beta as well as battleye using only dayzcommander?

the link you gave me, what are those dollar signs in some buildings on the map? that doesnt mean money right? whats it mean is in those spots

damn you iminnocent lol that is a good map too i googled and only found the wiki but yea, they should really make these better advertised especially for new people. my first time playing i literally spawned in the most bottom corner town, and first place i walked was right toward the END OF THE ROAD/MAP. so frustrating i wasted 20minutes going back from that

rammfisch how do you update your versions? after this fiasco im afraid to use six updater again, should i just download the newest arma2 beta installers and do it that way? but if i do, how do i properly update battleye? i just dont wanna have to do this all again since it started with my beta versions getting all messed up and reverting back and all this stuff ps i typically use dayzcommander now to load servers so if i can avoid six launcher altogether please let me know

reco youre an effing genius!!!! and rammfisch sry but adding that part about deleting the HIDDEN dll file in appdata coulda saved me some time. thanks reco,

try this http://dayzmod.com/f...-fixed/page__hl__ reinstall battleye__st__40 i havent tried it yet, im waiting till tomorrow, but apparently ppl say it works they say its a problem with battleye and you have to do a total reinstall of JUST battleye, but u dont need to reinstall arma if you try it and it works please let me know

k i have tried updating every which way i can find, but when i update to the NEWEST arma2 beta and try to join a server with the same NEWEST version, i get bad version error EVERY time. what do i do? i have tried six launcher, updater (just keeps skipping the beta update for some reason, status=skipped) i manually updated, but no matter what, newest update cant be played on newest updated server ps. i can still join OLDER version servers, just not the newest version servers

well i cant really reinstall that would take anotehr 16gb of my usage limit, are there any folders i can delete and let six launcher install the stuff? also now my game keeps crashing after i did something with battleye i think. what happens if i reinstall battleeye using steam? or is there any good way to reinstlal it . ive tried so many ways to reinstall battleye, manuall and with every launcher i can think of. nothing makes me not crash now EDIT: got it working again, followed this forum http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/32290-arma-2-oa-has-stopped-working-crash-to-desktop-fixed/page__hl__ reinstall battleye only thing is someone mentioned on the last page, you gotta also go into your hidden appdata folder for Arma2 OA and delete the battleye dll in there as well. after that WORKS PERFECTYL!! so glad, i jsut got matches, played and got my first fireplace going and fully healed! omfg i love this game :D

why even ask this topic? Arma3 will come out next year (CANT WAIT!!! :D) and they are tailoring it to be compatible with Day Z to transfer onto the engine i would gladly pay upwards of $60 for a standalone version of Day Z. but since its built on the Arma engine and currently a mod, that will never happen

i am just about to buy arma and start playing the mod, but before i do i just want to make sure ill even enjoy it. i have seen lots of videos of the mod where zombies will run RIDICULOUSLY fast and practically just lag around you and people cant even shoot them properly. do they stilll move that fast or is that a glitch that will be fixed soon? i dont want to spend money and hours playing only to find i cant even kill a zombie because they all have the Flash's powers

i dont understand, you guys say i need the Arma2 beta patch? does that autoupdate on steam? or do you mean the beta patch for the Day Z mod itself? when i buy arma2 on steam will autoupdate keep me safe to play any server or do you mean strictly updating to the recent Day Z mod versions?
