Thanks, man. :)

What we are is a small gaming community that hosts our own private hive server that has low amounts of lag, recently respawned vehicles, and a friendly, non-insta-bandit playerbase. Mr. Films is the owner, talk to him if you have any questions (on the forums - BrightLiteFilms - me). CONNECTING INFO: IP: 204.145.69.168 PORT: 2322 FULL CONNECTING INFO: 204.145.69.168:2322 FULL SERVER NAME: US 284 Chernarus Private Hive (1.7.4.4) NT: OFF | MAP: OFF | CH: ON | 3RDP: ON | [REGULAR]

Ahem, let me settle this with a meme.

You're wrong (poster above me). It has nothing to do with the timeout thing as I join my own server often with the timeout thing still running (after a fresh restart) and all that happens is I get the loading bug and after one fresh ArmA 2 restart I able to join again. To the OP, it's pretty simple. Just use DayZ Commander to update your ArmA 2 version to the latest (I think it's 98836; just a guess). My friends have had this issue and that's all that they had to do to fix it. Regards, ~Films :beans:

Dear God, why is it that all of the people I see do not know that when on the internet, Google is their best friend? Please let them realize this, and maybe even let them realize that they may browse other forum topics before posting. Amen. :beans:

I've played since 1.7.2 and there is no way in hell that there are more friendlies than ever. That's why me and my friends bought a server and play (not in a group) with it passworded so that we may fight amongst or team up with each other, all six of us. Can get quite intense and fun, especially when you're voice chatting in Steam and just hear: "WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT" "Oh my God... Ben, are you in the bushes over there?" "Oh my gosh, you're all so beat. *meniacal laughing*." "Herp derp GAH" "Who's shooting at me, stop!" "Guys, let's all kill Jason (or whomever)."

The spam is strong with this one ^ Anyways, back to OP, the only real time I've had my dreams crushed was when I finally got my helichopper working and was kicked for ping being too high just as I took off because my brother was Steam updating on the same internet. I cried myself to sleep that night as when I logged in, there was nothing left but the charred skeleton of what could have been my new best friend. :_( RIP choppersickballs

When the server restarts, the M240 belts on the side will reset back to their original ammo (100 rounds in a box magazine with two on the side, three total). If you own the server and you are out of ammo, just restart the server.

The name of it is: US 284 AVI Private Hive (1.7.3/98220) Max Vehicles | 3DP:ON | CH:ON | GCHAT:ON | NT:OFF And it's completely vanilla, no settings changed. Me and my friends run it, we're a friendly group o' people. The IP is: 204.145.69.168 The port is: 2322

How long does it take for a server to be up? I just bought one, no rush or anything, although an ETA would be nice.

Okay, to the OP, you just fucking epicly bumped this topic up four months. Come on. Anyways, fall damage is fine, if you are not expecting a fall in real life and tense up during the half second fall, you can land and break bones easily. Another thing is that when you land off of a moderately high place in real life, do you ever get that tingly feeling then a sharp pain in your ankles? It's because you were tense while you fell. Bohemia Interactive was smart NOT to include a jumping system... TL;DR It's completely fine.

Oh my gosh, you guys. He already said he fixed it... INB4LOCK

RAM means nothing for gaming usually, especially not in a game like this. The processor is also not a big deal, I don't know why everyone flips out over having a bad processor. Even though ArmA 2 is CPU intensive, you'll just be using up more of your CPU while your playing. On my portable, flimsy rig I run DayZ on lowest settings with a 2.1 GHZ CPU, dual core; factory CPU and an nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX+. TL;DR In other words, you'll be fine, kiddo'.

Instead of killing the bandits, why not helping the good? Do what I occasionally do, go on official hive servers and find tents with some decent extra gear you have. Place the tent in the open for everyone to see, and place a weapon in it, maybe some morphine / one can of food and a drink. It can really make someone's day. You could also try working up towards a helicopter, then "rescuing people" off of the coast as they spawn, picking them up and bringing them to a safe spot to give them a weapon and then push them on their way.
