I still think back to when I was being chased by Zombies as a noob. Like a dumbass, I ran into a house that had no back door and the zombies were blocking the only exit out. All of a sudden, I see this blur by the window, hear automatic machine gun fire, and all of the zombies drop dead. A player in a ghille suit pops in, stares at me for a few moments, then runs back out. I never see him again nor could I thank him. It beats yesterday when I was running and got my head sniped off in mid sprint.

Actually, I've never understood why the flashlight takes up the secondary slot. Especially considering you have two hands and can easily use both together in real life. And it's a real pain to swap the two out with the current system.

I had my first hacking encounter last night. I had finally gotten some good gear (after seemingly getting killed by either zombies or other players). I was running through the woods, rather happy to be heading up north with all of the gear I had. All of a sudden I get teleported to some encampment and hear this horn going off. I'm thinking, "Oh god, did I cheat? I don't know how to cheat, but maybe I got in trouble for something that I didn't realize I did." I turn around and get shot inside a tent of some sort. I'm dead and have to start all over. I had no clue where I was or how I ended up there. But I'm fairly sure it was some sort of hacking trick. It was truly frustrating. Overall, hackers haven't ruined the game, but it's definitely made the game a bit annoying.

Just started running into this problem as well. Exact same issue as the photos posted already. I have a Nvidia GEforce 550 GTX TI. It just started popping up today. I'm in the middle of Chernogorsk and stuck. The game is now unplayable for me.

I'm still fairly new to this game. So, let's say I put out a tent or a wire fence somewhere in one server. I then log out and move over to another server. Do the items stay on the server I deployed them out on? Or do they follow me to whichever servers I go to? And I imagine they disappear when I am offline? Thanks in advance.

That made me lol.

Ok, cool. Thanks. :D

I run a GTX 550 TI, quad core, with 12 gigs of ram. On most servers, I can run graphics on high without a touch of lag. But last night, I joined a server where the FPS was around 5 and I could hardly move. I was in one of the cities. It could very well be server specific.

And they stay deployed even if I log out? So basically, if I store items in a tent, anyone can just come along and take things out of it?

You can't have my can of sardines. Sorry.

This is a great film. The writer of the book also wrote the novel, "No Country for Old Men".

The hackers aren't making the game unplayable. I play it daily just fine. Sure, they're annoying and all. But the game is far from unplayable because of hackers. The developers of this mod are well aware that hackers are an issue. If you want to help the hacking issue, find a good server with honorable admins, and bring the hackers to their attention. I'd expect that the server admins want to keep the hackers off their servers.

Same here. It was a relief to see I wasn't the only one.

I've only found the NVG's once. Combine that with the DMR in open land and it's pretty deadly.

I like the part where he breaks the rules by hacking, then breaks the forum rules by posting a thread he knows he's not supposed to post.

I had 4 gigs just recently and had really bad FPS. I upgraded to 12 gigs and Dayz runs like a charm.

And what makes them retarded exactly? Dayz is a fun game and worth the 20 dollars for Arma 2. 300,000 people bought Arma 2 since the release of DayZ.

Not if they're using it as an exploit. I agree with the 15 second rule though. Or even 10 seconds. If you want to log out, you should have to wait 10 seconds before doing so.

That's odd. I'm able to type in the search "95168" and 124 servers come up in the search result.

You should be able to connect to the 95168 servers just fine. The others haven't updated yet.

That's what I was thinking. I could get onto the 95170 server, but it still had a "Wait for Host" message.

Same problem here. Don't think the servers have updated yet.

Just tried it. Didn't work for me.

I was playing fine earlier today. I log on tonight and it has me do yet *another* update. I log into a USA West Coast server and get the "bad version server rejected connection".
