Besides being kicked the rest could have nothing to do with the admin, alt f4ing because you heard shots is also pretty lame sauce.

Thats pretty normal for any alpha, the majority of the recent stuck on loading issues can be attributed to players joining servers with a mismatching version to their ownm, currently half the servers are running 1.7.2.4 and half 1.7.2.5. If you are using sixlauncher you are on 1.7.2.4 regardless of whether you think you have updated, sixlauncher will overwrite your files with 1.7.2.4 because 1.7.2.5 is still pre release. When you are on the loading screen, the game places you into debug forest, then moves you to your location when you finish loading, I am only guessing here but it's probably done so you dont get killed by players/zombies before you even finish loading into the game. If you abort/escape/close the game when you are stuck on loading the hive will think you are in debug forest still so the next time you get in a server it will spawn you back at the coast. A temporary fix, if you know of a server that you have no problems joining is to alt tab when stuck on the loading screen, launch another copy of the game, it will ask you if you want to close the original, click no, join a server you know you have no problems joining, once you are in-game where you were supposed to spawn, alt tab to the game stuck on loading screen and close it. Once most servers and sixlauncher update to the latest version it should occur a lot less.

Many admins will ban for it on their own servers, according to the "rules" they aren't supposed to unless they have logs of them doing it.

Do it manually.

They were put back in with 1.7.2.4, there is only one chopper per server however, it spawns on Skalisty Island.

You can continue to play the DayZ mod for free, development will continue in parallel for some time as the mod will be used as a way to test out new ideas, features etc, before throwing them into standalone, it looks like the mod will also become a lot more open, which could mean a lot more community developed maps like Lingor Island being implemented. That being said, personally I probably will not play the mod once standalone is released, simply because a lot of the mods problems unfortunately cannot be improved without modifying the engine code, and that can only be done in the standalone version.

No you cannot join 1.7.2.4 servers if you have 1.7.2.5. If you are using six launcher, you are on 1.7.2.4.

It's a fucking conspiracy! Seriously though, I do not doubt for a second that BattlEye has banned 12k players, that's only a small drop in the ocean though, the majority of whom have probably already purchased a new copy to cheat with. Cheating is always going to exist, I'm confident most of the existing cheats we are seeing can/will simply be made impossible in standalone.

No, that's not what I said at all.

This occurs when you abort/escape when stuck on loading and the reason most people get stuck on loading is because they are joining a server on a different version. If you are using sixlauncher, you are on 1.7.2.4, regardless of whether you updated or not, sixlauncher will overwrite your files with 1.7.2.4 because 1.7.2.5 is still a pre-release version. A temporary fix, if you know of a server that you have no problems joining is to alt tab when stuck on the loading screen, launch another game, it will ask you if you want to close the original, click no, join a server you know you have no problems joining, you should spawn in-game where you were supposed to, alt tab to the other dayz game stuck on loading screen and close it. Once sixlauncher and most servers update the problem will be significantly reduced, the main issue at the moment is half the servers are running one version, half another, everyone using sixlauncher is on the old version while everyone updating manually or via DayZCommander is on the latest.

I got a solution, uninstall six launcher and download DayZCommander.

I don't bother, it's just a waste of time, at least it keeps the majority of those threads out of the general section which I think is probably the only point of it. Personally I couldn't care less how admins run their servers, I simply don't play on servers with admins that do a poor job, I find servers that are well admined and add them to my favourites. Rocket has said that as the game moves into standalone, the mod will be much more open than it is now - allowing more projects like Lingor and more freedom for server administrators. The game development will draw ideas off this pool and develop a more standardized experience.

What's the bet he is using sixlauncher and trying to join 1.7.2.5 servers.

http://ibattle.org/ Might be worth a look, not sure what it's capable of exactly

That's why it's going standalone in a couple of months so those issues can be fixed

It happens because you alt f4 or closed the game while you were on the loading screen and the most common reason for being stuck on the loading screen is because you joined a server on the wrong version.

If you dc or alt f4 when stuck at loading you will spawn at beach the next time you get in a server You will always get stuck on loading if you join a different server version to what you are running Update the files manually from the link on the homepage, they go in your dayz/addons folder If you open six launcher they will be overwritten with the old version again so only use commander

Play on sanctuary servers, they are not connected to the hive, that sounds exactly what you are after

It's an engine limitation, arma wasn't designed for zombies, they will be improved with standslone

Well we have no way of knowing, maybe he has a camp nearby, maybe he was following you for some time, maybe it was just s coincidence, maybe he was cheating

Teamspeak and mumble are both good choices. Ventrillo has fallen behind and is outdated nowadays. Skype is ok if it's only a couple of friends but any more and your best using something else. Roger Wilco, damn that's old, haven't used that in probably ten years, I imagine the same people using this are still using ICQ too, is it even still being developed? Never heard of teamtalk or voicechatter Not the brightest idea to use direct chat unless it's to speak to a random player in-game. Another one is mohawk, I've never tried it personally. I'm using TeamSpeak at the moment.

You are most likely trying to join servers running 1.7.2.5 when you are running 1.7.2.4 Six launcher has not updated yet, use Dayzcommander or join 1.7.2.4 servers only as six will automatically overwrite your files with 1.7.2.4

That's a bug, I can server hop perfectly fine, you only spawn at coast if you alt f4 or escape out at the loading screen, most people get stuck at the loading screen because they tried to join a server running a mismatching version A quick workaround, if you are stuck on loading screen, alt tab out, launch a new game and join a server that you know you are getting into fine but also keep the one stuck open as well so you should have two games open at once, when you spawn, alt tab to the one that is stuck loading and alt f4 or control alt deleting it also works, the game using the lower memory is the one that's stuck.

Everything will be wiped and you will start from scratch and that will likely happen again at beta and full release, your accounts wouldn't carry over regardless since they are tied to your arma ao keys

I think it's an issue with 1.7.2.5, also vehciles keep respawning
