I would not have uploaded that footage. It's fucking embarrassing. First you decide to betray somebody for their Bizon and ALICE pack, then you don't seem to understand that guns need ammo to operate (I mean seriously. You looked in his backpack twice and didn't see that there's literally no items other than the M16), then you run away continuously like an idiot, when he isn't even shooting you, instead of just saying "haha just joking, here's your gun back bro", and then you finish off by ALT+F4ing to avoid death. Uninstall the game right now, you should be ashamed.

Yes, exactly. I think what happens is that the admin and their friends get NV goggles and just figure they'll change the time of the server without bothering to update the name. Until we can get the actual time displayed in the server browser, it should be part of the server rules that the advertised timezone must be correct.

This has been a problem for ages but it's really annoyed me tonight. It's 22:37 GMT right now and I want to play a daytime server, so I search for "GMT-8" (14:37) and the first three I join are all dark. I don't mind night time servers, but if I'm a fresh spawn I don't want to run around Balota and not be able to see shit. Since when was it okay for server hosts to advertise different timezones than the one the server is actually in?

Of course that would be ideal, but inventory and storage systems like this always have multiple bugs and chances are there's going to be another way to dupe items if they remove this one. However I don't think a few groups of cheaters duping items is really an issue compared to every single person that uses a tent receiving multiples of their items when they didn't want them. People who put the effort in to do some kind of complex duping glitch can be banned and dealt with like any other kind of cheater but it's not as easy to deal with when tents are basically item duplication machines. Sure, in the long run it needs to be impossible to dupe items, but for now just making it so it's not the default behavior of tents would be a big step forward.

Yeah this would be a pretty good solution.

Care to expand on that? How am I being retarded?

I am a legit player but I constantly find tents that have gear in them. I take this shit, and when I come back there is always more. Right now tents are duping items BY DEFAULT and to avoid duping you have to make sure you save the tent every single time you use it (and half the time it doesn't work). I want to obtain my stuff by playing the game not by duping, but when my tents and other peoples are automatically giving me items all the time it's pretty difficult to keep track. If you just had to put a little effort in to dupe, it would be far less of a problem for legitimate players.

Mine did this today, I was confused because I was pretty sure it wasn't meant to happen but it seemed plausible since it's such a big gun. Guess it's a bug.

Scope in, press N. It has both night vision and thermal.

How is there still no fix for this? It's made the game unplayable for a lot of people for days now.

Is there any way to tell if a server is up to date and able to spawn choppers?

Worked for me, at least for now. Thanks! ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_95417.zip

So when can we go to military bases again?

Very informative post. This needs to be fixed ASAP, it really is a game-breaking issue. I can't go anywhere near military zones and have no need of gear from anywhere else, so I don't have much to do. With all the information everyone has provided it shouldn't be too difficult to fix.

Same problem here.
