Anyone that thinks this bug is an easy fix and ok is messed up in the head really. If you are being chased by Zombies or wtf ever you call them and hit the graphics bug you are in trouble. Logging out dont always work to fix it. I was running getting shot at and hit the graphics bug and if I didnt just stand there to die and did what you said to log out. It would have been considered a combat log and the belly aching that followed that would have been AWESOME! I might have even did it to the guy that said it not game breaking and imagine him posting 50 posts about combat loggers. So yeah it game breaking and yeah it should be fixed asap. Or really in all honesty.. it should have been fixed already.

Is your blood low? That makes hearing hard. Then maybe your sound is not working as it should and you need to dial it up outside of game so its louder inside game. =D If that make sense.

Try this: http://dayzmod.com/f...ite#entry512283 You have to search the server logs on your own and find them. No one that I know will do it for me. And as an Admin its better this way.

This being alpha has nothing to do with hackers being something we need to tolerate. Every game is hacked and will continue to be hacked till people stop paying for them which is not going to happen in my lifetime. That is not something that is simply developed out of the game. There needs to be some safety net that allows everyone in the server to be protected from being pulled into an area and bombed to death and losing what really needs to be worked on. Because, that is what destroys developement. We can all simply say "lets not play till a lot of things get changed" Or "lets come back at a later time when this is all handled better" And how does that make the game get developed faster? If password protecting seems like a bad idea now just wait because, it gets worse. Why do you think that games like CoD and BF allow admins all the power they can take to keep there servers clean? Because, if they (EA and Activision) had to stop the hacking they would fold up overnight because, it is a fulltime job for a lot of people to keep it clean. So they give you all the admin'n you can stand and throw in PB for the ground floor hackers and say good luck. Rocket and his team are thinking big and I love the idea and I think its great but, they can not sideline admins to let me and my team deal with it and you just keep on.. keeping on. Oh yeah and trust us to make it right. They can control the items to a point but, the real botters?? The radar and aimbotters--they will never control. Only admins can pick up on that stuff. The Buzz is now and if the 800k players playing now are all getting tired of the BS that goes on with the simple script kiddies that are doing the minimal ground floor singleplayer hacking to disrupt the game--what are all these people going to do when the real hackers can start making money from this?? And I am talking about the aimbotters and the radar junkies. If this simple stuff cant be put down now and in quick order.. this game is in for a surprise when the real baddies come to town.

I was actually with Daft running down the road. And I was in the building when Nasir spawned in--in front of us. I think it was more of an admin abuse type thing. I think he was wondering why he died when he spawned in and it was because, he spawned in--in front of us in a building on the 2nd floor. I am not at Dafts house but, we had been running around for a while (at least an hour). And he died and finally made it back to town and we were running around and he got banned. So take it for what it worth. He would have teleported around he would have left me in the dust all day.. and that wasnt happening.

Combat logging should get you banned from the server you committed the offence on. Server admins should be allowed to ban you from their server for doing it and then after they do it all the time.. they just wont have anywhere to play. And then it dont matter at all if they are not banned from the game they will have to get there own server to play.

Noticed a big difference. The biggest problem I have with it is this... no really good melee weapons to counter the noise. Hardly any silenced guns at all. Aggro range is over the top. I shot 2 zombies at around 100m and 5 came outta no where to beat on me. I see people training 20 zombies all the time anymore. Over the top I say. Hard to just go out anymore without having to be bloodbagged and I usually have to log till a friend can do that. So play 20 minutes to an hour log off for 5 hours till I can be helped. Some may like this but, I have had problems with bugged zombies raging on me from 100m out before the patch even when I was proning in slow movement. No I just get seen from everywhere and heard from everywhere... and shaking zombies is 100 times harder for me. I like the tweak but, its not helping because, right now there is just to much other things that make it harder to do anything with those and these mutant seeing and hearing zombies or ragers or wtf ever you call them. The kicker is if you get into a hiding spot and can hole up for a bit. You can easily take out others like me who train 20 zombies around town trying to find food and there isnt a thing I can do about it. =/ Because, shaking zombies just seems a ton harder for me then others I guess. You can usually see me running from anywhere with no zombies around that area with 20 on me while I go up and down hills and they are stil on me.. lol.

Not sure what to say about this.. this was general chat typing. All from the same person.

I am new to Arma and Arma II admin'n and I can do it a little but, I am not great at it as I am with other games. Is there someone that can tell more admins maybe like myself on how to properly manage a server. I can read lots of different posts and piece it all together but, wouldnt it nicer if someone could take the time and tell it in one post? And it would be here for this game?=D Some of you admins may have no idea how spread out all this information is on how to do things in the day to day world of being an admin. And the amount of testing and re-reading that goes into trying to make it work for me. But I would say to be general and tell things like this but, not just this... Explain how to update the new script.txt files as they come in. And how to scan what file for the types of violations that we can ban for and things like that. Things that make basic day to day admin'n easier for the people that havent been doing this type of admin'n as long. Tell things like is there a way to scan in BERcon for scripters or how do you do it in your day to day life of admin'n. Tips and Tricks and day to day stuff that may pop up and how to get better at it. =D I was suprised when I saw things on how not to abuse being an admin and saw nothing on how to be a better admin by being proactive on this and that. I am just putting it out there broadly and hoping you understand what I am saying. =D I am used to doing it for servers in other games but, its more cut and dry when I can see them as they do it and not have to search through tons of logs and things like that. I wish to run a better server to stop things and aside from waiting for them to do and then searching through the files and then laying a ban down it can take a few minutes instead I hear others can do it in a lot less then that. Tell those things and make it a sticky for others to be able to learn the same thing. I am trying not to be so noob but, I cant help feeling behind the ball with all the searching I am doing trying to come up to speed on what I should be doing and how I can do it faster and better then I feel I am doing it now. Thanks in advance to the person that can do all this and wants to help others like me. =D Because, I am sure the admin/server general crowd like me would really appreciate it.

When trying to run the PMC campaign once but get this message... Error creating Direct3D 9 Graphical engine. Any ideas?

Are you using the same game? Like one of you bought it and the other is installing the same disks too type thing?

Yeah had come into the server today and spawn a Huey and go around picking people up. I spotted him and kick/banned him but, after he killed everyone on the server..=/

It seems after the patch today.. the first one 95168 that now its very choppy and I am crashing when I get into a city. Any Ideas? I tried rollingback and deleting beta and BE and reinstalling them and nothing. =/

The strange thing is a lot of people I know have more fun taking on the zombies and just trying to stay alive with limited gear. That I dont see what all the fuss is about for the best gear and weapons. When I know that is just a bunch of people who want to be snipers of players. The only time I have really run into pvp is over stuff I didnt want in the first place. I came in to get food and killed 2 people just standing around in the house trying to loot weapons. To each there own I guess... but, limited weapons and sneaking around past zombie pats and things like that is fun for me. But, I will pvp for food and water and other things that I need besides the best gear and weapons. So I see your point about not being bored with no one to test your skill against. I am a huge pvp fan but, I love sneaking around zombies and wondering how the heck they found me in the first place as I run full sprint into the woods to lose them. So much fun can be had here which is why I can smell the hacks coming from many miles away. =/

I love playing at night.. I hate playing in total black out which is like around midnight but till 11:00pm or from 3am it is a total blast.

I think you shouldnt be allowed to disconnect indoors either. It makes for popping on servers in key spots that much easier. If you cant password protect or lock a server to make it so you can farm alone then logging out in key points is just about the same thing. You have an unfair advantage to everyone else that plays the server all day long as where a server hopper farms a key point and bounces around to other server in that key point or position and just farms people and items. I think they should have to re run back into town and figure it out again.
