Have you tried the gpu_maxframesahead=1 and GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1 fix in the Arma2OA.cfg file?

I had to resist pretty damn hard when I read this:

Things like this almost make me believe in Karma... almost :P

I think he may be referring to when you get stuck on the "loading" screena nd have to force your game to shut down (I think it's caused by joining servers that have an older version of the mod/beta, not sure), when this happens the next time you successfully log into a server youll be teleported to a coastal spawn with your gear intact.

Have you checked the game paths in DayzCommander options, to make sure they are correct? Edit: also not sure but this may be relevant? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/58346-problem-addon-dayz-anim-requires-addon-casigns2/ Also, did you follow the mixed retail/steam install guide?

Did you verify game cache as an administrator yet?

Have u tried running vanilla Arma 2 by itself, then OA afterwards? If not then try starting steam as admin then verifying integrity of cache for both games.

He went to Skyrim so why not DayZ as well?

A quiver for the crossbow was mentioned by Rocket on his recent "ask me anything" session.

Can anyone confirm this for DayZ? Or is it some sort of Lingor mod?

This is why no one goes to cherno or electro unless they want pvp. I think you missed the point so I will say it again: Go Somewhere Else. Try Berezino, Polana, Zelenogorsk, Pustoshka, Vybor. Avoid places like cherno, electro, both the Sobors, both airfields. Gear up, dont rush it take your time and be careful. Then when you feel more confident you can raid the more high-risk areas, but don't do so in crowded servers. Planning And Preparation Prevent Piss Poor Performance! (as a friend of mine used to love saying).

Hacking is indeed out of control, as to your other points I'm not exactly sure how you're playing the game but it is nowhere near as hard as you are making out. Perhaps you need to rethink how you are approaching the game, and the style of play that you use. As already mentioned you don't actually have to kill the zombies near a deer stand in order to get the loot, observation and a small amount of stealth will get u there nine times out of ten. The same goes for finding loot, don't go straight for electro or cherno and expect to nip in and out with bags of loot, head for the less visited areas, be caerful. Check some online loot maps for places that have the things you require. As far as taking on people with more toys than you, theres plenty of videos of people with shitty gear taking out well geared players- even several at a time. Stealth again plays a large part in this. I'ts quite easy to hit a few barns and walk away with a gun and a few supplies within 20 minutes or so of spawning. Please don't take this as criticism, just a bit of advice. Good Luck!
