If u still got problems u want to limit your possible problems if u can to find out whats wrong,. i.e disconnect everything u dont need i.e harddrives / dvd drives / soundcards etc.. So u got bare motherboard + cpu + ram + fans + speaker if u got one for error codes Start @ simplest things... Check all your power connections Double check u connection your powerswitch to the motherboard front panel pins correctly. Read the motherboard manual for the reset bios switch... the odd motherboard will auto-detect the ram wrong + on the second boot will refuse to post

U need to run steam as admin for the first launchs.......... Quit outof steam Right click on a steam shortcut & pick run as admin Then launch arma2 + arma2 operation arrowhead & quit out. Now u can quit outof steam + relaunch it as a normal Ignore the invalid file, steam keeps downloading its because of the beta patch...

U wont see a rollback mainly for the following reasons. U didnt pay for the game directly so u got it basicly as-is, paying for the engine doesnt count when it comes to mods... Its ALPHA which mean dev's got better things than worry over lost items i.e stamping out bugs + adding features + tweaking.. Gettin the game ready for a real release & so they can start getting more direct money flow. U never assume your get to keep your stuff in alpha / beta. Look @ all lost stuff over ghille bugs.. The fact the game is fun & playable & amount of players at this stage is v.nice, but it doesnt mean its release ready yet... Also u would need to prove that it was a hacking, otherwise it would set a precedant where everyone would start saying there blow up tents was caused by hackers just to hopefully get there stuff back. When it could haven been caused by maclious people in your group. Or just pain bad luck.... If u are unable to afford to keep the server running, it sucks but oh well, u can always play on another server

Combined Operations is really just arma2 + operation arrowhead packaged to together. Just buy the operation arrowhead + u will be ok, you will be just have 5 euros less in your wallet :( But still worth it, should be a patch out later today aswell to fix some graphics issues. If u encounter them, should be fixed soon. Recommend u download dayz-commander aswell

Re-edited my post to make it more clear also there is, hope its more clear Also there is a vid @

Try using the following launch options -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxMem=2047 above is for quad core with 2gb of ram Read the explanations for options @ http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters If u are using dayz-commander theres an option in settings u can add the above to.

Sounds like u didnt make the changes for steam to launch the beta http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/How_to_install_DayZ#Make_a_shortcut_to_launch_ARMA2_Beta_with_Steam_Overlay_.28Optional.29 Personnaly i would just use dayz-commander alot simpler. It has 2 settings options u turn on for launchin via steam so u got overlay working. It does everything for u.. It also has ability to update dayz for u aswell, but only does it if u ask it. Which is nice plus nice features like friends listing / showing server time etc

Sounds like when u had only 1 account of dayz. And u had played it on the both pcs, before u both the second copy. This resulted in both machines having the same cdkey Thats why he your brother logs in he loads up your character etc... ** Using 2 Different PCs look @ http://dayzmod.com/f...computer-issue/ ** If u both play on the same PC + have 2 different steam accounts look @

Anyway i was wondering if the people that have a dedicated server box in USA / EU / elsewhere aswell for other people. Would like to make a post with the datacentre provider + location + server name, and any other comments aswell thx... Provider DataCenter Location Other comments if u wanted i.e price / hardware / basic support etc DayZ Server Name That way people considering a dedicated box would be to quickly check what kinda pings they could roughly expect @ the same location.

There is a problem with gamespy server listings... Dayz-Commander is using a backup server listing that the developer for dayz-commander is hosting himself, till gamespy gets its server listings sorted out. As for tool for installing dayz theres a wiki on different install methods, just six-updater used to be the only automated way to install dayz.

Am curious since no where else to ask ? Since getting tired of waiting + becoming a joke at this point approachin 2 weeks atm.. Has anyone who has a server with hfb got there server hotfixed yet so there timezone is sorted out yet ????

Another manual server restart time is still not working The application or script u are using to rotate the logs have u checked that when it has made a new file that the dayz server has permissions to edit the file ??? i.e u might have the script running under different user / permissions than the server itself.. I would have checked the permissions myself but u removed all ftp access aswell... This is the most likey scenario since it was working before u started to rotate logs. Now plz stop breaking things ok thx now to go back to reverse ip route & find what datacenter = chicago servers

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/815-dayz-irc/ Hop onto irc chat there. i am semi-afk there same name or ask in channel... Be prob easier to get u to jump onto same server or if u got decent pings get u to jump onto server with an admin online that can look @ server logs to see why u get kicked.... It more than likely says why u get kicked in bottom left corner of screen. It just kicks u straight away & doesnt give u time to read why most of the time. Thats why i recommend to fraps it so u can replay it & pause it.

Dont forget to launch steam as admin user at the start Then launch arma 2 + operation arrowhead, once the games are loaded up, u can quit back to desktop. U can then close steam & re-launch as normal and u should be good togo

If u can jump on irc & someone can try & help u out in realtime, would be easiest. That way someone can be on the same server u join & look for msg why u are getting kicked. Otherwise download fraps, + start recording during loading screen. Watch the recording @ clip and watch the bottom left corner u may see an error msg i.e missing files just before u get kicked outof server. Besides that make sure u are joinin a server with low ping, some servers will auto kick if u got like 150+ ping

If the hotfixes were applied why was there no mails sent out to say timezones should be fixed now. And to ask customers to reboot & check it is working for them. Instead of lookin @ my server incase i am wrong or fix my problem. HFB are going to check all the servers again incase u missed one which will take how long ?? Instead of fixing server hosting US 819 & making a thread asking customers to check their servers & put up a new ticket or respond in a thread ? And then afterwards when u got time double check all the servers again , or look into adding exception handling to timezone batch file if tzutil is missing.. U know i had vilayer within 3-4 hours move a server from 1 location to another location no fees or qualms & even gave a nice suggestion in regards to ping location. On the other hand hfbserver been up coming on 14 days nothing but issues & no offers of discounts, or keepin customers in loop over problems.. Names redacted incase one complains here is copy / paste of support tickets........ So people can judge themselves Personnally i think i been patient but i get no fckin timeframes & getting run around by hfb over this, and am sick of it...

Not a time desync issue as i checked ingame time (multiple peep incase was client issue) & server log timestamps after i manually restarted the server several times at this point... Ticket == #644112 Server schedule restarts was only just adjusted yesterday, due to recent artifact issues. Must have forgot the option for restart daily... But anyway i am to tired of having to follow up on this issue.... the hope of timezone set right + hfb server pings in chicago is the only reason i still havent cancelled yet but currently 11 days since i pointed out windows hotfix for utzil is kinda wtf

utc -4 Its already setup in the timezone.bat file, believe am still waitin on server hotfix

US 819

Well some peep are stuck with hfb servers they cant get the timezone changed. (awaiting a simple windows hotfix install & reboot) :( Then there are the bugged servers that need a reboot to fix the time. And then there is alot of lazy admins u cant be bothered to update there titles. Myself i just found 4 servers & added to my favourites on dayz-commander. 2 in eu with nice pings, and then 2 in usa with alright pings & all the timezones are spreadout by 12 hours. So i can jump into night / day servers with no looking around. Keeps things simple & avoids hassle when gamespy takes another nose dive. edit:- As far as i know there is no way to check ingame time without jumping in. DayZ-Commander just works out the time based on the servers title.

If u are using steam u will need to remove the cdkey entries in the windows registry. The profiles shouldnt be an issue i believe, but no harm in trying. http://dayzmod.com/f...computer-issue/

What is the chance u logged into the same account from steam on both computers to play dayz before u bought / downloaded 2nd copy of dayz ? If u did both machines would have the same cdkey for arma2 in the windows registry. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31393-playing-in-the-same-house-on-two-computer-issue/

Maybe a random cargo drop via a C-130J. Make it an encounter that a server gets atleast one a week, that gets assign to it by the hive server. So once a week a solo C-130J flys overhead lowish & drops off supplys via parachute outside one of the coastal towns. Imagine your at cherno & hearing planes overhead with supplys dropping nearby, or u just fresh spawned.. What do u do, run to the supplys, kill those at the supplys, run away ???

If u are able to play on your laptop @ your son's house, but when u go home it doesnt work. Then its really can only be a router issue ( or maybe different windows firewall settings when u r connected @ son's house ?), double check you get your ports opened up. Or u could try & forward the ports aswell them if routers nat is abit flakey... ( i swear its almost impossible to find a router that does work 99% ) http://support.dayzmod.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=11

double check your server.cfg reportingIP = "arma2oapc.master.gamespy.com"; And also check u got your ports forwarded right, think its 2302-2308 udp
