I'm pretty sure its an option in the difficulty settings for the server. But if you're running a server you should have the logs indicating who is doing what on your server.

I managed to survive for an hour and a half before i got fed up and logged off last night. W00t

I have dual 6850s make sure you have the latest stable drivers 12.4? and the latest "Catalayst Application Profiles" the latter is specific to xfire.

Yes. And it will stay that way hopefully. NVGs stack the deck in the users favour. There are other ways of making it easier to see at night via the video settings.

To me it sounds like they will just skim over the specs and if you don't meet the min right off the bat they reject you because they have so many applications.

Has he tried putting it in your bag and then having you put it back in his? I did that and it worked for me before.

Sounds like you got ripped off. I spent 900$ after taxes and my machine chews through everything I toss at it. phenom II x6 4.1ghz 4 gigs ram two 6850s in crosfire

My point was that there is a distinct difference between services not rendered and a voluntary withdrawal.

I did google it and the most recent verision of the windows server I could find was 1.57 I am under the impression that there is a 1.6 (non linux) / 1.6 beta version of these files. Is that the case? As for whitelisting, I know I need to be green lit by the devs but I need to get the server running and test it with the beta version of ARMA2 first before acquiring the files and applying for Access to the main character server. Correct me if I'm wrong here but i need both: 1) uptodate server files for Arma2 (stand alone or off the Cd key) 2) day z files (only available from the devs)

You agreed to a contract with them and then submitted payment. Its your own fault you tried to pull out and failed to do so before it was too late. I don't think they owe you anymoney if you clicked "I agree" "I accept the terms of the agreement" etc. If you didn't agree to the contract then yes they should give you your money back. But somehow I doubt this is the case.

Some countries block IPs independant of the users. Your connection might not even be getting to their server before being blocked. That said I have no problem with banning IPs specific to a area of the world if it improves performance for "local" players.

I havn't died yet, the new no weapon thing sounds awesome. Means I can't just kill a noob for his kit right off the bat.

It's a CPU bottle neck. I had the same issue till I oc'd my CPU and then patched to 1.7

I think all players should be required to use the exact same files. That way no one has any advantage over another.

I have a steam distribution running on my other computer/server on a different steam account (my brothers he doesn't play dayz anymore) Dayz and arma run fine, but I'm trying to set up a Arma 2 server to practice admin stuff before applying as a dayz host. I can not find the 1.6 version of the server software anywhere. It's not on my machine and as far as i can tell there is no steam version online. What am I missing? I don't understand why the only versions I can find are out dated. 1.59 loads but I cant connect via my gaming rig as my version doesn't match. I have searched high and low, and I know how to configure and manage the server, and I've even had it running I just cant find the most recent files so that I can connect. Thank you for any help you can give.

Only 12 hours of game play? I've sunk more than 100 hours in now.... and Im still going. (My girlfiend goes to school 2000km away across the country lol)

Statistics that don't reveal the movement patterns and habits of people I am all for, heat maps and places where people log off I do not want to see.

I'll take two!

No fucking way. No just no.

Actually diarrhea would be a major concern as it is a show stopper, and will drain your energy and make you incapable of self defense. I've been on many back country trips where someone drinks water from the lake or doesn't wash their hands after hitting up the thunder box and they get the runs. And then you're babysitting for the rest of the trip.

I like the debug menu.... I'm not even a bandit, I don't pursue players and attempt to kill them I just like the debug menu for stacking my stats. Also bodies would attract insects very quickly on a warm day IRL.

What a stupid idea. I love TS and I WOULD find a work around if they tried to ban/block it. I'd even just run it on a second computer if that's what it took. (on a laptop or something)

Even moderate lacerations to large muscles (upper arm, thigh, calves) bleed lots. I know this from some of the people I've patched up. Additionally think about your major veins and arteries and how quickly you'd bleed out from those being ruptured. Now, a zombie isn't likely to scratch you and nothing else during the attack, It's trying to kill you with all it's might it has no limits. IMO a zombie hitting you (obviously using a chance to hit and chance to do X damage system) would cause severe bleeding.

1. No, I like knowing how many zeds are on the map, how many I've killed and how many by head shot. It's a personal challenge to keep the percentage of kills by head shot up and it's nice knowing how many. It also feels good to know I've killed Xhundred zombies this life, and then when I die, watching me rack up more zed kills. As for the player kill counter I like it, I don't pursue players but if you're in the way and i think you're a threat you get killed. It's nice knowing how many times I've done (or how few times) I've done it. I like seeing zombies spawn and the count go up gives me a better idea of what I'm dealing with when I walk into a town. Additionally I don't want a timer it would piss me off to have it ticking every minute or hour that I play. 2. The leveling system would break the game, it would be an in scentive to stay alive longer. But if you make it too much of a grind to attain said attributes, then it wont be worth it when you get killed. As for your sprinting suggestion, the game would blow if you could only run/spring for X amount of time. I would stop playing if it forced me to walk or move slower across the map. It already takes a long ass time with out a vehicle.
