Peew, you won't be able to upload a fraps file directly. A 3 minute video is 3GB, which is way above youtube's limit. You'll have to render it to a smaller file using AE or SV. :/

I would so just place these all over the barracks, with a sandbag to block you from getting around them. Mount the bag, break a leg!

Anything is a 1 hit kill with a headshot.

I think I have 6 in total, all in one life. 4 on my own teammates, as lolz while we play. It's hilarious watching people rage after you kill them, especially if you know them.

The only reason DayZ isn't standalone yet is because he's still trying to convince Bohemia to let him use their engine. Obviously creating a standalone on a game like this would take years if he had to change engines, which is exactly why he wants to keep using Bohemia's engine.

Are the people here going against this guy stupid? He's actually giving you the perfect way to get rarer loot without working as hard. Why kill a survivor on sight and try to loot him, when you can just get a survivor (new guy you may know in real life, or whatever) to loot heli crashes and what not for you? That way, the bandits get advantages by, instead of killing on sight, they kidnap on sight or manipulate survivors to work for them. People are so uncreative here. They all think shoot -> loot -> run away. If you don't kill the survivor, and he has a 10% higher chance at NVGs spawning, then you basically have an infinite 10% booster until he gets a murder or becomes a bandit. I would love to trick my friends and community members to loot shit, just to take it from them without actually killing them. Haha.

Going to check this out. I have a small guard of mercenaries who I control, basically. We all agree that helping people is much more fun than killing them, most of the time. I might hit you guys up.

If I ever find one I'll post the location and server here. You can have it for free, amigo.

For an army captain you don't do much life saving. Isn't that what war is all about? I just gave a M4A1 CCO SD and 5 Stanag SD mags to a random noob survivor. He thought we were going to kill him, tehe.

All the people who don't support this man are the ones who disconnect themselves. Yesterday, I lost an AS50, M4A1 CCO SD, Rangefinder, NVG, Gps, and every tool in the game to a ghoster/disconnecter. I shot him 3 times with the M4A1 CCO SD, he disconnected, moved to the tower in Cherno (the tall building) - mind you I was one floor down ambushing people coming up the ladder -, and just shot me from the top with a M1911. Most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe you have to put the port as well. You have to remember that Vilayer is running several game servers of the same computer, all with the same ips. The only way to differentiate is port. I think this'll fix your problem.

Stupid faggots who disconnect, move behind me while sniping, and shoot me with a M1911. Sad.

It'll take you 10 minutes to find a gun in Cherno or Elektro. Good luck.

I just sit around with a ghillie suit and a M4A1 CCO SD. Wait for someone to pass, and stalk them. I wait for them to leave the airfield, and try to follow them to friends. It's more fun finding base camps than shooting random bandits!

I'm trying to set up a server, just by renting. The reason? I have a group of approximately 12 - 20 people who compete against each other / which each other over several games and communities. It's no fun joining US 520 (for example) where every car is saved in a random location and being camped by people 24/7. I want all the cars to be in their spawns, there to be no tents and no one with base camps around my server.. At least not until every has a fair chance. I will open my server publicly, not locked or anything, but the first 20 or so people who will connect (a few minutes after it's open) will be my friends and fam from these other communities. We're probably going to disconnect close to vehicle spawns, so as soon as we log in we should be good to go. Some may find this unfair, but I find it unfair how certain people hide a vehicle then never log into that server again. It's ridiculous, and really frustrating. I hope that when I open my server we will be able to get set up. My small group (about 8 of us) who work together will be restricted to 2 vehicles. That leaves a shit ton for everyone else.

You shouldn't chat shit about what you don't know about. It's pretty easy for a hacker to disguise an overlay as a voice communication or recording software, and use that to get by a hack shield. That's why BattlEye is proactive at banning people who may have overlays. The other thing is that BattlEye has logs. If you've ever used hacks in anyway - spawning vehicles, weapons, etc - they can tell. They questioned a friend of mine and seized his base camp because they found a hacked helicopter. After less than 24 hours of searching, BattlEye cleared their base and gave them all their gear back minus the heli. Not to mention they also gave his whole clan free copies of Arma 2: CO. The moral? BattlEye are doing their best and you're just chatting shit, lol.

Try deleting Operation Arrowhead and reinstalling it. It could also be a problem with your steam account, as this seems more connection issue than game issue.

I don't see why everyone is crying about heat maps. He's going to take the info from a bunch of servers/the main hive, and then turn it into colors on a map. It won't show exact positions and it won't show tents, vehicles, or current locations of players. The fact of the matter is, unless you have a giant clan and are operating the same camp site on multiple servers, it likely won't show up on the heat map that much. You have to remember that the map is made as an average, and isn't very precise either. It's going to be colored rings, not specific blobs that follow the exact path of a single player. In fact, the heat map would help everyone. It's a bit of a mind fuck, but imagine this; You see your camp is in a heated location across all servers. You're going to move it away from that spot, and thanks to this map, you'll know where a nice cool spot is. But of course (unless the map updates instantly), there's a very small chance that survivors and people actually go through the cool spots on the right server to find you. If this is the situation, suck it up and actually stay close to a heated spot. If there was some hidden place close to Cherno, I would use that as my camp, just because it's less likely to be found.

Hello everyone, I'm too lazy to use the search button at this time, and figured I could duel post this as a question. Once the official answer is given, it should be posted on the FAQ, since I think many people may have the same question. The question is as follows; If a hacker/cheater has the same ingame name (Nathan, for example) as me and they get banned, will I get banned as well when I try to connect to that server? I'm assuming the bans are registered to CD key / steam client, not to the actual ingame name itself. I'm new to the whole steam community (first game bought was Arma 2, just for this mod), so I'm not sure how it all works. Is what I have said correct, or not? Thanks, theSovietMaster

I guess this is the answer, however, I'm more worried about server admins banning me because I connect with the same name as another player they have already banned for hacking/cheating or similar.

The easiest way to find crash sites (believe it or not) is to set waypoints directly across the map from you, while staying on the north end. I basically just run between NWAF, Starry Sobor, and NEAF. If you follow this triangle pattern, you're more than likely to find at least 1 crash site after an hour or two. Also, remember that maps and stuff posted on the internet aren't always accurate, and that helicopter crash sites only seem to spawn in sets of 2 or 3 at a time on the server you are on. You have to look extremely carefully for loot there. Often, loot will spawn under one pile, or will be close and hard to find. I once picked up about 3 PP19s from pretty much the same loot pile, because they were kind of stacked so I could only access 1 at a time. You should search back and forth, entirely around the site, in about a 10 meter radius of the helicopter. If you do this, you should find loot eventually. I usually just camp at the crash site with a few friends for about 30 minutes. We alternate looking for loot, in case it's desynced or bugged. I nearly missed a L85A2 AWS and an AS50 because I was about to run away, but my friend spotted them for me through his binos about 600 meters away. On topic: Honestly, I've raided NWAF around 6 or 7 times in the past 3 days on servers that are always 20+ people. The loot doesn't seem to be worth it (unless you need magazines), however, we've only ever met 4 people at the runways. There was a clan of about 4 trying to loot harvest when we rolled up, and we effectively wiped them out using FN Fals and a single sniper. Your best chance is to take the high powered weapons, loud weapons if you see other survivors, and go for that one shot kill. We honestly waste no time, rush in, rush out and enjoy the benefits.

Actually (as I can see so far), it's only preventing you from playing. For whatever reason, Gamebooster and similar programs seem to prevent BattlEye from updating. I suggest turning anything like this off when first connecting, if you have it. If that's not the situation, I would suggest checking the version of the server you are connecting to. It may be that your servers are too full and can't process BattlEye's requests to update for you.

It's a Heineken bottle with arms folded behind the neck.. I'm assuming it's suntanning on the beach. My favorite (don't tell the police I'm an underage drinker, please).

Vaquxine, you just earned beans. I think this is one of the fastest and most appropriate responses from a server admin I've seen. Good work. :)

Not sure if I'm allowed to post here, or not. I think the fairest solution to this is that the admin who kicked them (who ever he is) gets some kind of punishment (demotion/firing from the community/whatever). In addition to that, the Ural they stole (if not in the location they left it, and not fairly stolen by someone else) should be returned to them. When I say stolen by someone else, I mean not in the clan's possession anymore. This may sound unfair to bTd, however, they have enough stuff already I believe.
