  1. It reboots my dsl router.

    Camo and Ghillie suit bug?

    It erases the debug stats temporarily but if you logout and back in you get your stats back.

    Can't beat them, join them

    Large cites are deathtraps in post-apocalyptic Chernarus, news at 11. Just goes to show that all of those experts who predicted that barns in the middle of nowhere would be the deathtraps were full of beans.

    Artifacting on new GPU!

    A simple search would have saved you quite a bit of time/frustration.
  5. I've been getting this without having driven any vehicle in days. I played on a server for over 2 hours and then got kicked by this.
  6. If there is a decent US-based non-hive PRIVATE server I'd like an invite. Sick of getting killed by hackers every day on the pub servers.

    LA85A2 AWS thermal not working?

    That is how it works when it is pitch black outside, at least that is how the L85 I had worked before I got teleport killed by a hacker and lost all my gear. :)
  8. Six Launcher is correct, IMHO. :D

    HACKERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL

    I think this might be a record, less than 5 days from a supposedly massive ban wave and server hacking has already bounced back to and expanded beyond where it was at before the ban wave. Might as well throw in the towel if that is the best BIA/Battleye can do. When other games can't properly manage the hacking they tend to empower the server admins so that they can actively police their servers, maintain a decent community of players. I'd make this a priority, devteam.
  10. This isn't the game for you, might want to try the Sims. For every 10 unarmed players that get killed 1 fully kitted out player gets killed by somebody with a hatchet. Things like this wouldn't happen if there wasn't something to draw those fully kitted out players to the coast. I like 1-stop shopping with my hatchet, see no need for any change.
  11. All of those civilian loot spawns have a chance of producing camo or ghillie suits. I typically will hit a town like that at dusk or dawn, when I can see OK but the zombies can't. Hit every spawn, grabbing what I can use. Just because YOU think they're useless doesn't mean they're useless to everybody. Just today I was hunting forever, could not find an animal to save my life---literally---I had to hit a small town for emergency rations. It seems like that sometimes, your pack is full of food there is a wild boar behind every tree. You're about to starve and the only thing you can find is a rabbit 1000m away that disappears right before you get close enough to kill it.

    User-made safe server list

    Will never work. Just do yourself a favor and check the motd/user list before you login. If it is clan-affiliated or filled with clan tags pick a different server. ---this doesn't mean I have a thing against clans, it is just advice to somebody who is worried about clan-sponsored abuse of admin privileges--- "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

    Server kills everyone simultaneously

    Server admins have very little power in DayZ. There are no legit servers that are not vulnerable to the current hacks. 4chan ran a train on DayZ last night, lots of people got screwed. Basically, it isn't a matter of if, it is a matter of when you run into a hacker. If you're lucky you might end up with some extra gear or on the other side of the map. If you're not lucky you get to start all over knowing that somebody can login to your server at any time, run a couple scripts and erase everything you've accomplished up to that point. Enjoy.

    Thunderdome highjacking tonight

    Judging by the quality of his effort he should skip the humor all together. I've had funnier diseases.

    Experienced teleport hack second time today

    I got teleported twice today as well, fall from the first one killed me. At least the second time I didn't die, just was left 11000m from where I wanted to be, sigh.
  16. Teleported everybody on the server to a point approx. 50 feet off the ground, everybody fell and died. Just when I finally had all the gear I wanted. Think I'm done with this game until they get the rampant cheating under control or allow private servers.
  17. What do you do? You get killed by a hacker and get to start all over.
  18. Doesn't work here, only real fix is a hotfix. ;)
  19. Reloading ammo would be possible in an apocalypse as well. Gunpowder isn't that hard to make and the ingredients aren't exactly rare. People trying to argue realism should consider all of it instead of just the bits that support their argument. ;)

    Hotfix Build 1.7.2.4 Rolling Update

    When a game-breaking bug is introduced in a patch then yes, people expect it to be quickly fixed. Telling them they have unreasonable expectations doesn't suddenly change their mind or make them any happier, btw.

    Graphical bugs

    "Just stay away from every place you used to have fun in the game." Great idea...
  22. Nobody has yet sufficiently explained why there should be a downside to killing other players so I don't see much point in discussing what the downside we don't need would be.

    Need 6 trustworthy, trained bandits

    Trained bandits don't use Skype.
  24. Eh, the more threads the better, this is ruining the game for a lot of people. We form up a group and everywhere we want to go we end up with most of us unable to proceed due to the graphics issues. Need a dev from either dayz or arma2 to post about exactly what is going on, exactly when they expect to fix it. We've got one thread where they requested info and where they stated they're working on it but players want to know more. It really doesn't help all the people who post "action x fixed it!" when whatever fix they came up with is most likely temporary.
