This is helpful when your new: http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html It's tells you what loots spawns where and the chance of it spawning. After a while you learn this stuff though.

The hive is already having problems. Keeping all the peoples data even after they die would put even more load on it, so I don't see it happening anytime soon. Great suggestion though, I like it, and your not the first on to suggest it.

When you alt-tab your GPU stops rendering, so the picture freezes. Somebody probably shoot you.

This has never happened to me. Mainly because I never put guns in my backpack unless I have room for it. If you put a primary weapon in your backpack with any amount of empty spaces below 10 it will disappear. Also if you carry two primary weapons, one out and one in the backpack, when you switch you must to it right. You must take the gun from your backpack out to your inventory not the other way around. Here is a video demonstrating just that:

I've experienced mystic eating/drinking sounds, but not long sound chains.

Good guide on how to avoid this.

Nice story, screenshots also, classy!. I had to loose my DMR like that hahaha. I've actual thought about that possibilty when I am covering my mates, that if someone creeps up behind me I'm fucked. But of course I don't reveal my position in global like Fluffy did and also I don't lay around in an open field.

Good to see somebody else taking action. We staked out NW Airfield shooting people spawning in. The spawnrate was suprisingly high. One time two groups spawned in at the same time. We let them fight it out then we sniped the left overs.

Date/Time: around 2:00am GMT +1 21st June, 2012 What happened: I was stuck between a bush and a rock, I pressed V to try and jump over it. This caused me to instantly die. Where you were: In some woods east of Stary Sobor. What you were doing: Travelling. We found a tractor. One of us drove it around in the forest. We were all having a laugh running around watching him drive the tractor. I ran to the rock to get an overlook, when I tried to get up on it I died. Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 Server(s) you were on: LU3

A USB drive is not the same thing as RAM. It's much slower. You can save an image file that you start every time you wanna start dayz. Here is a good video tutorial: How much does this actually help? Most information used is from ArmA itself. Unless you have insane amounts of RAM, running ArmA:CO from RAM is not possible.

Is it really only once per cd key or is it once per player profile?

Awesome fixes

Our mission right now is to test the game and report bugs. If we can have fun while doing it, that's awesome. We will have to accept bugs and problems. It's not like your losing anything by playing the alpha, except time. And that's time you choose to do with what ever you want. If we would've paid to play DayZ and there would be a lot of bugs, and losses of characters I would see how whining and ranting would kind of be in it's place but now, in this stage of development, it's just rude.

Oh man, that's just hilarious.

That's some good reading, thank you!

I was waiting for my friends outside of Cherno. Suddenly I see a guy running out of town with a horde of zombies after him. I help him fend of the zombies, the guy puts a blood pack down and asks me to help him out, I do. I realize that this guy seems to be very fortunate, so I proceed to shoot him in his face and take all of his stuff. I haven't done much stuff like that, most of my PKs have been in self-defense.

Realistic? Maybe. Fun and valuable feature to add to the game? No. If there gonna be cons for a path you choose there needs to be pros for that path or at least cons for the opposite path as well. Who would otherwise choose it? It would destroy the PvP atmosphere.

Only possible by the coast or at various wells.

Not all of it. I think it just your backpack and maybe the gun you don't have equipped when you swim out. That's what I lost when I made that mistake the first time, my backpack and my primary both were on my back.

I felt so badass being a bandit :(

Benefit way more by just killing you and taking all your shit. But yeah to be constructive. If I were you, I would set up shop outside, Get some buddies to protect me. Maybe one to two visible guards and one sniper off in the distance.

The PVP factor is important in DayZ. And its one of the things that sets the mood of zombie apocalypse. Kill other survivors for their stuff is a path of survival that some people. As long as this sort of thing doesn't mess with that, I think it's a great idea. This idea needs to be thought throu and well planned before being implemented. Because this freezone could be exploited plenty.

But this opens up the possibility of people with bad computers or bad internet getting banned because of their computer or internet freezing.
