You have been hospital windows?! :o

You should post in the Troubleshooting section. But as a solution, be sure to replace the Arma2OA.exe with the one in the Expansions/Beta folder, ensure the beta patch and BattlEye are up to date, and that you edit the _runArma2AO_Beta.cmd to include the ;@DayZ;ca in the second set of quotes under ":run", in addition, ensure your launch options are properly set in Steam. You should be able to join a server by launching OA - Combined Operations through Steam.

If you can't survive alone, post in the Survival HQ section and look for a survival buddy to group with.

The music is terrible quality in the vid - too much echo. Lonely Island's got awesome songs tho.

Looks like pinktaco alt-f4'd when he started getting schooled by the DayZ community.

In all truth I am torn between the two prevailing positions here. On one hand I fully agree that: On the other, it is true that: Both are true, and the fact that DayZ caters to both of these is what makes it unique. It's an open-world PvP shitfest. I think that the only real problem is people QQing about getting killed, where they should handle it with a proper respawn. If you can't loot Elektro because a sniper is camping it, then respawn after you die and move on, away from Elektro, then. Don't be a beach-noob and run in the middle of the street expecting no one will shoot you because you're so used to the hand-holding, baby-fed, unicorn gumdrop mobs you are used to in other games. You come to DayZ to survive. Some people are better at it than others. For the time being, however, there are exploits that allow terribad players to get away with surviving when they have rightfully been outwitted and killed, then prance off to a spot and scope out new spawns. In a real apolocypse, I'd say it would be the same. One minute you're on your computer gaming, and the next the world's in shambles with infected marathon runners everywhere, and yea, there's going to be some kid hyped on adrenaline from what's happening that grabbed his daddy's shotgun after watching him get devoured by a horde of infected neighbors... You won't be shouting "no fair, you have a double barrel in my starting area! QQ..." No, you'd book it the other way. Don't feed high risk areas. Campers can't get easy kills with no one to kill.

Priority would be for Rocket to keep doing what he's doing and roll out the game officially, then difficulty setting can become a factor.

Are you sure it's night time, then, or is it just dark with not a whole lot visible? It might be due to some video settings if joining opposing time zones doesn't resolve your problem. Otherwise, you might have to submit a bug report.

Usually servers have their time zone in the server title. Look for GMT+/- or UTC+/-. Find your time zone, then play close to your time zone during the day, or negate your time zone at night. You've probably just been unlucky as of yet.

I helped Filmmaster out a bit, but the problem persists. We performed the following actions: -Manually updated to beta 95045 -Replaced Arma2OA.exe with the one in Expansions/Beta -Editted _runA2CO_beta.cmd to inclide ;@dayz;ca under :run -Manually updated client and server BattlEye dlls -Changed launch options in Steam to "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@dayz -world=empty" -Attempted running through both Steam and Six launcher

On the "You Are Dead" screen, press ESC to open the menu. RESPAWN -> DISCONNECT then in the lobby, CONNECT again.

If you are talking about motion blur, turn of postprocesses. If you are talking about blurry textures in general, turn off antialiasing. Also ensure your 3d resolution matches the set resolution (100%). If none of these cure your blurry vision, manually set all "Advanced" video settings to as low as possible.

Damn hacks.

Broadcasting a safe zone... Great intentions! Terribad idea.

Very easy, very popular. Ventrilo and Teamspeak are more common for game communication though, but Skype is clean and easy to use.

-Usually play a few hours from 16:30 (GMT-7) -Mature players with survival focus -VoIP available PM me.

Game purchase only. Studio development, tied in closely with community feedback. Community servers, as it is now. Kickstarter, sure, but none of that pre-order, special edition, super-awesome-elite-weapon-becuase-you-paid-in-advance bullshit. Develop for the community, based on the community. Keep it all equal.

You should submit a bug report. That's about all you can do now. Random things like that happen, and if you don't report it, no one will know it's an error and it won't get fixed. At least you posted with full understanding of the Alpha concept... more that what can be said about other posters complaining about the game not working up to their AAA-polished-title expectations.

Some people complain about dieing too much in a zombie survival game: Some people complain about not enough combat: DayZ can't win.

Rane.Dalton on Skype. I play a little in the evenings.

I second this.

Rule 1: Don't get attached to your items. Sure the server-hoppers and alt-f4ers are something that is begging to be fixed, but it's alpha, it happens. I'd say just be more cautious in the future, don't go waiting for someone in a military loot spawn points, middle of fields, and the like (and apparently showers? lol) Good luck, hope your DayZ crave brings you back!
