blockhead (DayZ)

1. make sure your @dayz folder is in the OA folder, not the arma 2 folder 2. make sure you launcher appears as my screen shots http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11006 3. on the launch options tab of the launcher, make sure the executable locations are for arma 2 and OA respectively 4. make sure the beta exe location on the same tab is the same for both arma 2 and OA

you can customise your appearance using "Player profile" from the main menu

HUZZAR! I tip my glass good sir!

the red chain means your connection to the server is poor also when you get no message received and it eventually boots you it normally means the server is restarting

you're not running the shortcut correctly... the GUI should be brown, not green. I had the same issue the settings were messed up in the exact same way, as my beta shortcut did not have -mod=@dayz added to it I also use steam and fixed that plus a few other issues with this http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11006

i've seen this on every release so far, but it's always turned out to be server related... ie. if I disconnect and re-connect to another server it goes away I've got a list of servers that respond well for me now, so I stick to those and haven't seen it recently at all

ok... questions firstly, have you followed the guides? http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=408 http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2085

after "waiting for host" does it jump straight back to the server list with "waiting for character to create" appearing in the background? If so, re-install battleye Steam: right click ARMA OA > re-install battleye Non-steam: http://www.battleye.com/download.html

I fixed that problem with the beta and a launcher see http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11006

no probs, glad to help:)

there is search and sticky posts for a reason http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=408 http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2085 most common one for that is not editing the shortcut options correctly

sorry if this sounds obvious, but are you running the beta?

I'll think you'll find that was a can of whoopass... not a smoke grenade hehehe

I had exact same issue... fixed it with the launcher http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8241 download it, install it on setup, point it to the paths to arma 2 & OA, eg C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe From addons tab, right click on addons/mods on the right, select add group. right click on the new group and rename it dayz. drag @dayz from available addons to the dayz group and then make sure you tick it looks like: From launch options tab, tick run beta & no splash screen make sure you point the beta paths for arma 2 & oa to the same beta, eg C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe tick play online, and set game version to arma II CO, click start game looks like: alternatively, assuming everything is already setup, follow this tutorial from 5:40

when it jumps from waiting for host back to the server list, does the text "waiting for character to create" appear faintly in the background of the server list? If so, go to your steam library > right click ARMA OA > select re-install battleye

hehe very true, i responded with the agression and was the bandit in that case however, that's not to say he wasn't also a bandit stalking me :P

*ignore*

I'm still loving it. I pretty much lone wolf it and stay inland or in the north. I really like the exploration element and very rarely come across other players. Sure I've been ambushed by bandits, but only twice and it didn't bother me at all. In fact, it was an education, as I was out in the open like a sitting duck when it happened. My favourite moments are when I'm on the edge of my seat trying to sneak into buildings for loot and not alert the horde of zombies. Honestly my hearts racing sometimes hehe

It it just me or have the forums become a bicker/whinge fest lately?... There's less constructive discussion and more and more pointless foot stamping tantrums of "I don't like that, give me something different NOW!" or "Whaaaaaa! I want be able to play it in a way it's not even designed for!!". Honestly I skirt over so many posts lately and instantly stop reading the thread once it becomes a slagging match. For a mod as groundbreaking as this (yup, I think it's groundbreaking as methods of playing DayZ are nothing like the methods of any other game I've played) I'd expect a hive of activity with regards to constructive discussions on experiences and development. Now don't get me wrong... those posts exist. It just seems they're getting lost between all the crap.

Ha! guess I was asking for that :D

Came across my first flashlight in DayZ over the weekend and up until then had no idea it has to take a weapon slot as far as what I would do in real life... I'd put that in my backpack until it was dark would be so much better if we could carry it and not occupy a weapon slot until it's used, unless it's restricted by the game design?

apologies, did an initial search, musn't have gone far enough back in the posts or missed I'll be more thorough next time :angel:

I've gone up 11 points in 20 minutes... it's got 3 days to go yet so anyone will easy meet the 60 point requirement.. no hoops here :D

*patiently watching my points increase until I have enough*
