Obviously they're trying to lock the beta?

I am having a few issues trying to play vanilla dayz. I am running dayz 1.8.0.3 with the arma patch 103718. I updated using dayz commander but tried launching manually as well. The first is that I connect to a server, load up and get to gender selection, but the background is gray and I can't select male or female. Sometimes the male/female option doesn't even show up. The second is where I can choose a gender, but 5-10 seconds after I get ingame running around, my character suddenly dies and I'm booted to the server menu. After that happens I can't click anything and have to alt tab and end arma. Has anyone else had this issue and can lend a hand? I searched around the forums but couldn't find similar threads/issues.

After reinstalling arma 2, dayz and dayz commander I'm having no issues. I have no clue what the issue was, maybe having arma installed for over 2 years did it.

I have a non steam version of arma 2, and I can't find how to verify the cache. If this reinstall doesn't work I'll see if I can find how to do that with a manual install.

I have tried many servers, and I was actually able to get into only one server in the last week. This has happened on every other server. I'm reinstalling arma 2 and dayz right now, but if that fails I am still curious if anyone has had these issues. EDIT: I also tried installing epoch and got the same issues. I had no issues with dayz since I started playing in may '12 and now it suddenly wants to act up :(

You can also do middle mouse click to do the top action.

There are so many bugs/broken things in this patch, and to make it worse a lot of these issues were in the test build. Reduced loot and harder zombies are encouraging, but the bugs break it for me. I will keep playing 2017 for my Dayz fix :)

Josh from Dayz Commander needs to fix the install, it's really broken right now and he is dragging his feet. In the meantime you can manually install the mod, instructions and links can be found here http://opendayz.net/...-0-alpha.11078/

I have a problem that happens maybe once a month, starting a few months ago. It always happens when I'm in a vehicle, and mostly in flying vehicles. Basically what happens is I'm forced to my desktop, but the client is still running and I can hear sounds still. When I try to alt-tab it gives me a black screen for a second then goes back to the desktop. The first time it happened I was being stalked by 2 hackers who were just teleporting in front of my motorcycle but not shooting at me. I assumed it was something done by hackers, but this most recent time I was the only player online at the time so that can't be it. It has caused me a death and a crashed plane and chopper, I really need to fix this issue. I have tried searching for answers but didn't find any threads about this particular issue. If anyone has had the same problem or if a thread already exists, please point me in the right direction. I am my group's designated pilot so I really need to get this under control. I run the game through the arma 2 OA beta patch, occasionally through Dayz Commander (this most recent time I launched from the beta patch). I purchased the game retail from amazon. I run patch version 1.62.99806 at the moment. some system info: Operating System: windows 7 professional 64-bit CPU: Intel core i5 M 520 @ 2.40 GHz Memory: 4096 MB Graphics: NVidia Quadro FX 2800m, 2730 MB

You should try Dayz 2017, the best guns that can be found are the rusty m4 and rusty m16a2, both of which only have 15 round magazines.

I am having an issue where, despite the fact that player tags are disabled on the server (ie. scrolling and getting a player's name/distance) occasionally they still show up. This only happens one or two times out of ten, but it has become an issue on the private whitelisted server I play on (Balota Buddies :beans:) as it can be seen as giving me an unfair advantage. Has anyone experienced this bug, and is there any way to fix it? Thanks.

It continues throughout gameplay, I have to relog/restart the client to fix it.

Is anyone really surprised laughing man's server is a hacker server? They are the ones that made the GPS global news network hack that advertised their pathetic server.

Have to say this is the worst Dayz video I've seen. Maybe if you had some decent shots instead of shooting stationary targets (you hit one but it took 3 shots...) it might be something worth putting online. Even then it would still be pathetic because you are shooting fresh spawns with the best gun in the game from 400+ meters.

Looks like this isn't the first time you've abused admin powers, quite a track record since september 2012... http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/125845-us-1252-object-access-flooding/page__hl__1252 http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/125055-us-1252-object-access-flooding-ban/page__hl__1252 http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/123251-locked-server-us-1252/page__hl__1252 http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/87833-i-got-unfairly-banned-from-us-1252/page__hl__1252

A player cannot carry 11 weapons, that makes no sense. We each had 2 guns on our person in addition to 3 or 4 guns in the car, all of which we got by killing that player Smough and his friend. As far as CD keys, someone else was talking in global about how he used another steam account and had 2 different arma 2 cd keys, but he wasn't able to get on the one with good gear. I told him that the best way to manage keys is using registry editor, which is what I do with my 2 accounts (main account + mule aka walking tent). Having two accounts does not make me a hacker...it protects my gear.

I got banned from this server earlier today, no reason was gives besides "hacking/cheating", my character name is Rabbit. I logged onto my mule account and asked why I was banned, and he too was banned. My friends began asking why I was banned and he tried to say we had "too many guns" in our car for 3 people, both the car and the guns we got 10 minutes earlier by killing two extremely geared players. These admins are abusing ban power, I believe the real reason I was banned was because I killed one of the WOLF members or one of their friends. I thought public hive admins didn't have this kind of power but I guess things have changed since I last played.

Meh all the hive servers appear to be down, really hope this gets fixed soon D:

sorry to break it to you, but both of those ideas are already in the game...

We are a small group of bandits looking for more mature and skilled players, preferably from Europe. At the moment we are a 4 man group but we need one or two more to complete our ground squad. We have only played together for a few weeks, but in that time we have developed a solid system to ensure tactical advantage. What we expect in a potential recruit is someone in our age group (20+) who knows the game in and out, is willing to play seriously whenever we are on a raid or in a combat situation, and has the time to play as much as we do. We have tents scattered across multiple servers, and we are able to gear up a new recruit if needed. We only play on official Chernarus servers at the moment, and we use Skype for communications. The group is split up into a sniper and a ground squad, and they will be set up as follows: Sniper - As50, m107, or DMR depending on the situation Spotter - m14 AIM or FN/FAL Machine Gunner - Mk48 Mod 0 or m240 Marksman - M16 Acog and/or m14 Aim Assault Rifleman - m16, m4, FN/FAL, or G36 when they are added in the next patch Team leader - M203 grenade launcher (if we recruit more than 1 new member) For now I am machine gunner and the other is the marksman, but we are open to changing if a new member strongly prefers one of these roles (except for sniper/spotter). If you are interested in joining, send me a PM or reply in this thread and we will get back as soon as possible. Happy hunting :)

Yes we use Skype for communications, editing OP to include this.

Thanks, I will give this a try.

Such a crap server, the admin basically told me to stop trolling when I told him about the hacker. Enjoy your hacker server...

A hacker named Turtles is in the server right now, he did the newscast thing and everyone but him got kicked. Right afterwards he teleported to my helicopter, took an mk48 and shot the chopper up, then teleported to cherno where he's driving bambis around to try and seem like he's not the hacker.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/54497-helicopter-stuck-underwater/#entry520958 I had this same issue, best bet is to repair it to the point that it can start, then start the engine up. This will explode the chopper and kill you, so make sure you have nothing you can't lose. Use the method of breaking your legs and crawling to fix it. There is absolutely no way of getting it out of the water in tact, sorry :(
