What mod are you playing? Is it Origins by any chance? I had the same issue. I think it's because Arma 2 had a recent update but the Origins servers are no longer getting updated. I think that mod was officially discontinued a couple of weeks ago. Anyway. Likely the server you are connecting to is out of date. You can try rolling back your Arma 2 patch. This is easy if you play using DayZ Commander.

No, unfortunately this computer was not designed for gaming, General home and office use is about all it will handle. You'll have a terrible time playing most modern games.

Seems like a new GPU in an old system. It's like stuffing a new 500HP big block crate engine in your mom's Kia Rio. The cheap fix: -Wipe your computer, and install only the essential drivers and updates. Disable any scans, auto-updates, etc. - Upgrade to 8GB RAM ($80) - Add another case fan ($10) and try and squeeze a little more juice out of your CPU by overclocking (do not get greedy) The budget fix (this will keep you gaming for likely about 2 years): You'll need to swap out your motherboard ($60) Get more RAM (at least 8 GB( ($80) New Intel Quad-core CPU ($215) Hope this helps. Try the cheap fix, and then work your way up.

I'm OK with them not respawning. A random scattering of goats, cows, deer, and rabbits that would respawn at server start should be fine.

I can't run any of the DayZ mods
taco241 replied to SheriffGinger's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
^ What he said. Use Dayz Commander instead of play with six. It'll manage all your mod and game assets with ease. -
It's not unrealistic. Zombie's can't stand pine scents. It's a fact. I say, introduce juniper-scented healing candles that we can craft and carry with us. No more hiding in a pine. There would be an invisible 5-foot zombie barrier around you at all times.

Yes, this is possible, and has been pointed out numerous times by reddit users. However, let us role-play and suspend the notion that our shipwrecked/stranded character is a plugged-in, social-media savvy, youtube video consumer with a penchant for survival oriented content. He/she would likely not try this obscure method because many other items can already be found that could accomplish this task.

Ok I just edited that wiki so it doesn't confuse players. Some assmaster said it was in the Standalone. It isn't...yet.

My friend got hacked, and you can't do anything else?
taco241 replied to Tonyx97's topic in Troubleshooting
Your friend was banned he was hacking, or attempting to do so. he may have told you something else. Go tell that bastard to buy the game again and play legit. -
Drinking bad milk? I think you need to try sniffing some before you suggest it. No survivor would be desperate enough to drink it. Rat traps as noisemakers seem a bit of a cumbersome solution. Rat poison seems like a highly abusable, gets-old-quickly like the disinfectant spray. it just doesn't feel like a survivor simulator when your character prioritizes a box of poison in his bag for griefing. PS. What's with women in your life that they enjoy rat poison? More clothes are always nice for variety though.

Might be an issue related to your combination of router and whatever Dayz is passing through it (not a tech obviously). I had a wireless USB adapter that would knock out my connection for 5 minutes if I had steam downloads going over 5 MB/sec. Tried variety of things but ended up just replacing with a newer adapter and all is good.

HACKERS - exist a list or stats page for our enjoy???
taco241 replied to wild_man's topic in General Discussion
I too would be interested in seeing this but it's likely not in the interest of developers to reveal that info. -

AMMO should be Rare like in Resident Evil 1
taco241 replied to gamer222's topic in General Discussion
No matter what happens to loot tables, the first thing that needs to be addressed is the server hopping. No amount of rarity will keep groups those groups from looting server after server, then hitting the populated ones all looking alike in gas masks, all-camoed-up, with their m4s and assloads of mags, shouting in their best badass voices into their mike for you to get down or your fucking dead. You know how it goes. I'm not sure why I'm writing this. The point's been made countless times. Anyhoo.... -
STANDALONE: Spear + Garden House Weapons + remove Can Opener
taco241 replied to Thenhart's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
To anyone who's not a DayZ player, survival geek or the watcher of that youtube concrete+can video, this isn't an obvious solution to opening a can. You have lots of options in game currently that are far more intuitive than the concrete rub. Use your axe. You can pretend it's using concrete. You'll even spill some food to complete the simulation. There are many solutions to this problem in RL but let's be practical people.Obscure tips are better left out of the game.
