Zilla (DayZ)

Wrong! I just got this problem tonight. Last night i had no problems. Now, DayZ loads no matter what. I've removed all parameters, @dayz folder, etc etc. AND STILL, dayz loads some how. Im at a total loss here. ***UPDATE**** Ok, i just figured out the problem. In your OA directory, there is an addons folder. Either move, delete, or rename it and you'll get single player mode back. Im at a total loss as to why DayZ will load without setting the launch parameters.

not sure what im doing wrong but the updated key files do not work for me.

umm, wouldn't that mean a ton of people wanting to play the new patch are trying to connect to just a few servers?

I said the Arma 2 game engine was decent? You need to figure out exactly what you are mad about.

Being able to press respawn over and over to get what you want is decent gaming?

Hosted by TOP with only TOP members in. [TOP - BR] JuRnO and [Top - BR] Newbyme Hooray for unfair advantages.

But isn't being frustrated part of the fun/experience? There has NEVER been a game that physically drains me like this one. Some times i go an entire night without pulling the trigger once, yet i feel as if i accomplished something by just staying alive and it's gratifying. This game is a lot like golf. You run around the course hitting bad shots and being pissed off and frustrated until you hit that one shot within inches of the cup from 180 out, then everything feels like it was totally worth it. I love the difficulty of starting out without a weapon. I love the fact that maybe you'll get lucky and find a weapon in the first house you walk in to or maybe you'll walk for hours. The uncertainty is what drives this game. It's the heart and soul of it. No more silver platter, give me what i need to continue, type games for me. I sincerely hope you can find fun in it again soon. Maybe try setting strange little in-game goals for yourself?

Sitting is not a bad idea. My thought was just to have the player pass-out, like from massive blood loss then once he comes to it logs you out. That way you are still in game leaving no chance for duping.

No, Rocket is trying new things. We are his test subjects and are helping him develop a great game. Remember this is only a mod and i'm sure you are aware it's in alpha. I was searching through the forums when i notice this thread, i was intrigued as to why someone would bother to make a thread just to say; Hey! I'm leaving! After reading your responses it became clear that you're just here to be spiteful and respond to people with condescending rhetoric. If you were really quitting, you would of just quit. Not make a thread, then continue to monitor said thread. You don't like the mod? That's fine, don't play it. It was free after-all.

how is it "unrealistic"?????!!!??

<3 this thread. I lol'd multiple times. i agree 100% WGT. I had 4 people D/c on me the other night while i was overwatching for a group of buddies at Stary. As soon as they went down they left. Think i may have to switch to a Chi-town server.

Dev Team, The 5 sec delay is not long enough. I've read and understand why it cant be longer but i think i have a simple fix. Is it possible to have the player pass out, like during massive blood-loss, prior to exiting the server? Basically your player falls over passed out when you try to disconnect; when your player gets back up he leaves the server. Is this plausible?

Yes The more subtle the better. Dont do blood, then we're back to the bandit look that you scrapped.

So much rage. LMFAO!!

This statement is ridiculous. New players don't know what all is in the game and what's not.

Something needs to happen. I had 4 people disconnect last night within 15 minutes of each other. Two were down and passed out when they D/c'd.

I ran it in about 12 minutes before. sprinted the entire way.

You know, it wasnt long ago when everyone's locations where reset. Thus making everyone spawn in at the coast again.

Wtf is with all the "fix lag" bs in this thread? Stay on topic nubs. If you're pissy about server lag maybe you should start a thread in the appropriate forum instead of being a douche bag about it. Thanks Rocket for setting the record straight. All you guys hard work will pay off; that i'm a 110% sure about. Keep up the good work dev team/mods.

What's the general rule for douche bags that spam the voice chat in servers? Particularly the racist redneck type?

Lots of spammers on Dallas 11 last night. Most were just making annoying noises but 1 guy, TommyHU, was the racist redneck. His timing was terrible. I was in the middle of crawling to the army tents in Stary in the middle of what seemed to be 100 zombies and a bandit sniper threat when he began his "N" word rant. I wasn't able to mute him right away. With the popularity of DayZ i guess this is to be expected, unfortunately.

Griff just sounds like a whiny bitch to me. If the devs never did anything to you, like he said they would, you should just blow him off.

Top of what exactly?

I like the zombie spawn rates. very realistic. At first i felt overwhelmed but then i changed my strategy and was able to survive almost all night.
