It's when u wake up and realise youre still in fact dreaming.

The cake is a lie!Ontopic: seen this in a few other threads, does seem to work :)

Anyway to tell their altitude? Theres a slim chance they're in a helicopter, those things move fast.

got a screenie of your ingame graphics options?

^This. By hosting a server you agree to abide by the rules, thats just how it is. I'm sure all of the admins out there locking, passwording, or otherwise keeping their servers empty through forced kicks also have some way to rationalise what they are doing, even if it is flagrantly against the rules that DayZ staff have posted. I know it's going to put a lot of server owner's noses out of joint to find that they in reality have very little control over their own server that they are paying for, but its like that for a very good reason.

Picking up an item that has been hacked isnt bannable, creating it is. But if you do carry around hacked gear, note that the anti-hacking measures will be "watching" you more.

I'm not disagreeing with anyone here about the aggro being a bit iffy, but I keep seeing "zombies", "undead", "less than human" being posted. Please remember that the Zombies here are in fact not actually zombies, they are "infected". Not dead, very much alive and out to get you. All very confusing as one minute were told their zombies, then later infected. Probably because zombies are a term everyone is more familiar with. Think 28 Days Later rather than Night of the Living Dead, in 28 days they were fast as hell and very sensitive to sounds, although i think the infected in DayZ may be a little too sensitive on sight, considering that on the main website it says they have less sight to compensate for the increased hearing and sense of smell.

I think youll find item loss on swimming is a server-side option. Seems that it was always "on" before they added it as a variable in june. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?136172-ARMA-2-OA-beta-build-93965-%281-60-MP-compatible-build-post-1-60-release%29

If you think about it a typical car that doesnt have bull bars or anything similar would prolly withstand 3-4 zombie impacts to the front radiator before it broke, after which the engine would overheat then stop. I dont really agree with making them slower, but making them a bit more vulnerable to impacts, yes.

Perhaps if item loss in water was disabed, aside from that seems kinda pointless as very few aspects of the game are water-based.

Simpler methods have been mentioned elsewhere, like the 20s timeout when u log out, char is immovable in place until the time is up. If youre in a combat situation there you will be dead when you log in. As far as deleting characters or 3 times a ban seems a bit harsh when the system itself wouldnt be foolproof, not to mention a pain in the arse for anyone with crap internet, I think in circumstances like these, death is its own reward.

Tell that to the gods of the interwebs, not everyone has a perfect internet connection.

Sounds like its hacked, only legit ones i know of are ghillie and this http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/File:Skin_Camo.png

You didn't set a meeting near one of the major hubs did you? Either way that sucks, as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished!

Try pressing alt+enter to go windowed, then switch it back to fullscreen.

Probably because of the automated restart scripts most servers seem to be running to manipulate daytime.

From what I've erad on the forums to date, it seems there is a hack that will show u the locations of all tents vehicles and players, and also allow you to teleport to them. Which would explain a lot for you really. You have my sympathy, this kind of behaviour destroys any game it happens in.

They seriously left their truck near a major hot zone without a guard? :huh:

This^

You'll have to edit your arma 2 registry to change keys from your copy of the game to your wifes, I think there may be a few programs out there to do it for you, but as always be careful what u download.

U could always give all your stuff to a friend or put it in a tent and suicide to respawn as a man. Nice of you to offer it out there still :)

Very risky either way you run it tbh, but i personally would rather risk losing the corpse than trusting someone u dont know (no offence to anyone here), who could just as easily put a bullet in your head and take everything. Considering that everyone I've met ingame so far has shot at me on sight id trust them about as far as i could throw them.

Sure, if you can't be part of the solution, then u can always become part of the problem like the rest of the single celled pond life out there.

Yeah u want to fix that or youll be refueling the damn thing constantly.

Artifacting can be caused by any number of things, nut just the game or version you are running, for instance it can also be caused by your graphics card overheating, or nearing the end of its "life" (im not saying thats whats causing it though). There are currently several graphical glitches at the moment caused by barbed wire and other objects, being fixed next patch.
