Issue resolved for me.

New bug: Server myself and friend was on crashed. Pretty normal tonight so wasn't worried. Server came back up and we both joined. He gets in game, but myself when I get to the "Receiving" message this pops up immediately afterwards, "You cannot connect to this server. This server is running the incorrect server side version. If you are the server admin contact the DayZ team." Friend was in without any problems while I could not join any other server due to getting the same message on all of them. I was switching out a weapon from my pack to primary and putting the other primary into my pack when the crash occurred.

As of right now they are not needed and are not spawning. Iirc the new 1.7.1 patch will enable them again and they will be required to fix vehicles.

The server as of last night was expert with 3rd on. As of the posting of this the settings changed to normal/easy with map showing location, scroll-wheel showing range/names, etc. Why the change? If the changes are here to stay then change your server description to reflect this. I am really disappointed with the change though. Myself and my mates were enjoying playing here the past couple of days. If the changes are staying we will be moving on I guess.

I want to say 60 as we fit 5 guns and some ammo in one of ours before it started dumping stuff on the ground. And yes, if you overload a tent the4 gear does NOT disappear. The gear appears on the ground around the tent.

The wiki list is incomplete as per a dev (vipeax sp?) on puddn's stream yesterday. There are some weapons in game that no one has found yet.

Karl, wanted to drop a line and let ya know myself and the group I play with are having a blast on Tarkovsky. You're doing a good job as admin with the restarts and such. Thanks man.

Ma Maybe because hunters, campers, and military personnel use heat pads quite often? Edit: Also, hospitals in game already have loot that can only be found there. Imo the heat packs should be found in deer stands exclusively to give them something unique.

Loved that video!:D

If you aren't finding folks in game that you can trust maybe the issue is you? I've been playing for a few weeks now. Every survivor I've run into has been cordial after the initial "do we trust each other" phase. Of course I do not hang around the major cities or the coast either. Normally the farthest south I go is Stary, maybe I'll head to Berezino if I'm in extreme need of medical supplies. I have found the closer to the coast I am the less people are willing to trust you. Example of nice people: I logged into a night server yesterday during my stealth raid period on the NW airfield and Devil's castle. I went to open a door in the barracks and it broke my leg, made me bleed, and sent me into shock. I took care of everything but the leg due to not having morphine and proceeded to the fire station hoping to find some there. Another guy logged in then and we got to chatting due to it raining and us not moving. Come to find out he needed someone to give him blood, which he had with him. He headed over to the fire station, I gave him blood, and he helped me with looking for morphine. I have a number of experiences like that which I could expound upon. Do people I run into trust me initially or even show themselves? No they do not. But if one of us is in an emergency normally we help each other out. Coasties are generally shoot first types. Solo Northies tend to be similar, but are more open to communication and the possibility of helping another out. Such has been my experience anyway.

That was the result of a bug. Quite a few folks either gained or lost bandit skins indiscriminately.

Rocket is in New Zealand iirc and I'm sure he will get to it when he can. Just gotta have patience folks :)

Ok a couple of post for you to check out: This is about how to get rid of zeds chasing you: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6209 This is tactics to use when solo: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2754 I won't comment on the zed speed. (horse mutilated beyond easy recognition) Recently zed aggro radius for sound was increased so pay attention to that ear on the right. Zeds have always had crappy eyesight and if you are prone you can just about trip a zed before they notice you.

I have the same cpu as you and probably same MB as well. You have 4gig more ram than me and I use ddr2 at that. My gpu is a 9800gt. That said, I run with all settings at normal except hdr=off, shadows=low, video memory=high, and postprocess=off. I run at 1680x1050 interface/3d with interface size small. I rarely drop below 30fps and normally operate around 45-50. Not sure what your problem is really. Could be your gpu is overheating a bit. I installed extra fans specifically to make sure my gpu is getting good airflow since it is an old model. Gpu fan speed set at 75% I maintain 70C with dips to 67 sometimes which is well within the safe operating range for my card. Cpu stays decently cool as well. Also could be that your gpu is a knockoff. *shrug* Get a temp monitor like speedfan to see what's going on there. Its free and easy to use to check temps and fan speeds for just about everything. I use rivatuner for controlling my fan speeds separately. Now I do run into some fps lag on certain servers, but this seems to be server specific as others I operate fine on. Not sure if this will help much, but wanted to let ya know that older systems can run this game fine even if things aren't quite as pretty as the new machines play it at.

As has been stated, being a ninja marksman is key. Sneak is priority with firing your weapon a last resort. Always make sure you observe an area from a treeline for a while before moving into it. Generally, when zeds first spawn they move away from buildings towards the outskirts of town/farm area and then either circle or move back inwards. Going prone is essential for moving by zeds. Zeds can see through some walls and all windows. Just because you are inside doesn't mean they cannot see or hear you. So be careful while moving around inside a structure. When in doubt stay prone. Some buildings will also make you stand when crossing the threshold (front door of grocery, some elevated/stair entrances). Be careful. I usually do not have a problem moving into an area at a fast crouch before zeds spawn in, but keep my finger on the prone button. It is getting out and moving around a town that can get tricky. Now, if you stop at a treeline that is within 150m or so of a building to observe it, you can actually watch as the zeds spawn in most times. So you have to gauge whether speed is more essential or stealth and safety.

The needing food and drink are server dependent btw. Some servers you log back into will require you to eat and drink, others will leave you at fully sated. I have to figure out why some do this and others do not.

Number 1 would be great as a limited print only available during the alpha testing. Have number 2 available all the time.

There are only a few of ways to lose zeds. 1. Climb a ladder to a roof. Move to other side of building so zeds do not climb the ladder. Go prone away from the edge. Wait for zed aggro to go away. 2. Find a dock and run out on to it near the end. Go prone. Zeds cannot go onto docks and going prone will eventually cause them to lose aggro and wander away. Or you can shoot them taking your time with headshots. 3. Throw a smoke grenade (or flare if at night) near you and go prone a short ways from it. This is hit or miss though. Sometimes all the zeds will go after it and sometimes just a few. Use with caution as it might also attract more zeds to the area. Overall though I recommend mastering the running backwards and shooting them technique.

I understand the problems with having to have default things in the name set by The Boss and believe me when I say that all us players are grateful for the hard work you admins do. Maybe something could be done to simplify the naming convention besides regular, vet, expert (wtf is this). What most people care about is 3rd person, crosshair, and name plates. Now, no crosshair obviously means no name plates. But, I have been on a number of servers that were set to "veteran" that had crosshairs and nameplates but no 3rd person or had 3rd person but no crosshairs so everyone is not going by a set standard for those categories. Something I have seen that I personally like is a number of servers (EU ones I believe) have (3rd=0/1 CH=0/1) . "0" signifying off and "1" meaning on. Maybe just including those would be possible given space constraints? The GMT or UTC +/- that some servers have is excellent btw. Love that some admins have included that feature. As a player who specifically likes no crosshairs, but feels 3rd person warranted in some situations, It gets frustrating trying to find a decent server when my usual ones are full. Oh and the list being compiled mentioned above is an excellent start. With the current number of servers though it just isn't enough at this point in its development.

Herp a derp.... yep somehow I missed the HUGE FREAKING GREEN PART... Thanks guys

Goons are Goons. Sorry I have never met a nice Goon or one who was not looking for some way to screw up a game. Goons will say anything, and I mean anything, to throw off people from figuring out what they are doing or the reasons behind it. Some words of advise: Never trust a Goon. Never believe what a Goon says. And in any game possible always kill them on sight.

uhh 93040 is the newest? I cannot find it on the Arma2 site anywhere. All I find is 93030.

From the server owner/admin rules page: BEWARE - The same restrictions apply to Non-Dev run servers! - IT MAY NEVER BE PASSWORDED - NO EXCESS KEYS OR MODS - NO KICKING TO MAKE ROOM FOR 'FRIENDS' OR CLANMATES - IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE YOUR SERVER TO THE LATEST VERSION OF DAYZ In light of this why is it still operating with a password again?

Make sure you have updated with the newest hotfix patches that just came out also. I generally find if I have waited for longer than 10 minutes at the "waiting for server response" then I end up in the debug area. Some times I get in sometimes I don't. I generally try 2-3 times before switching servers. I've have a list of servers I avoid due to never being able to get into them. *shrug*
