  1. Sorry but Rocket rarely posts here.
  2. They have said they would be reviewing the situation in June and that they were on track for that review, they have since done that review and it's surpassed expectations. That doesn't mean the alpha is coming in June though. http://www.reddit.co..._stream/caiksku The closest thing we have to an estimate release date is this (posted a week ago): http://www.reddit.co..._stream/caikwji

    Kicked for SetPos restriction 0?

    I've had it a few times now, seemed to occur when a player nearby was killed/leaves and his zombies disappear, that could just be a coincidence though. I don't get it when trying to join, just happens randomly and only a few times for me.
  4. DayZ servers don't provide this information directly, but server admins often place the current UTC offset in the server name. DayZCommander converts this to a more readable time and allows you to filter and sort on it. This also means, if the server name displays the wrong offset, the time will not be accurate in Commander. No time just means they don't have a UTC/GMT offset written in their server name.
  5. I thought the 1.7.7 ones were fantastic they just needed some slight tweaks to the infection rate or alternatively antibiotics spawn rates increased. Sigh, I hope we get another hotfix soon to find the balance and don't have to wait months for a major patch.
  6. Locking this. Character resets and rollbacks have not been accommodated for quite some time. (close to a year now) http://support.dayzmod.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=18 Change servers, you should be moved automatically.

    What's up with the data on the title page?

    It's just a number in the database that is displayed, there are plenty of free scripts available so admins can do the same with their own private hive servers providing they have database access. http://opendayz.net/...o-webpage.6664/ http://www.reddit.co...cript_for_your/

    What's up with the data on the title page?

    Public hive database... Some are wrong though and have been for a while now, 2,147,483,647 is the max value for a 32-bit INT, so that's why that one has been the same for months. They need to change it in the database to BIGINT or VARCHAR or something else but it doesn't really matter, they have other things they are focussing on.
  9. I agree with Bad_Mojo that hacking really isn't that prevalent on the public hive anymore, whether that is because most servers are private hives nowadays or it's due to improvements in security I couldn't say but it's no longer an issue. This is coming from someone who stopped playing on the public hive entirely around August last year because it was so bad. I've been back on the public hive for a couple of months now and haven't had any problems. I will say if it weren't for private hives the mod would probably be dead right now, I know I would have stopped playing last year primarily due to the issues with cheaters if it weren't for them. The custom maps/mods the community have created are also fantastic and bring a breath of fresh air to DayZ. However, personally I hope we don't see privates hives in the standalone for a long time, the changes made will (hopefully) address the issues with hacking and I think there are better ways of working with content/map creators then allowing server admins to do anything they want. I'd rather see the community given tools to create stuff and maybe using something like steamworkshop so community content can be rated and given feedback and the best submissions reviewed and implemented by the DayZ team into an official build (maybe we would have an official Namalsk hive and an offocial Taviana Hive etc instead of having thousands of servers where the experience is totally different every time every time you play and half the servers have starting loadouts, thousands of vehicles, admin bases, donator perks etc. It's also worth pointing out that Rocket has said the private hives won't be available for a while, you can host your own server from day one but it will connect to the central server. If you are expecting private hives anytime soon you are probably going to be disappointed.

    Different terrains :(

    Assuming it's your ArmA2OA profile .cfg, delete it and it should create a new one when you start the game. You will have to set any custom binds again though if you changed them from default.

    DayZCommander should work, check your steam options are ticked and it's detected the correct directories under settings.

    Why don't people leave the coast?

    I got to Electro and try and make friends with people or just do stupid shit that gets me killed quite often, being that I am on the coast that doesn't really matter as I can be back in a few minutes and continue doing stupid shit. Sneak up on snipers and bloodbag them without them noticing. Rob armed played using only a flashlight Convince players to trade their guns for my tin cans and flares. Chase an unarmed player with an axe for 10 minutes until they finally give up. Then trade with them or give them blood. etc I've spent a lot of time up North but have just run out of things to do, nowadays I get most of my enjoyment out of player interaction so there really isn't much point heading North as most players are on the coast anyway, even if I wanted to get fully armed I'd just kill someone who has come down to Cherno/Electro and take his gear but then what? I can tell you the vast majority of players hang around the coast because it's a hotspot for pvp. The game really needs some end-game content that would make me want to travel North, if it's just collecting gear and pvp I can do that quicker on the coast.

    Viral Zeds need to be easy to indentify.

    I thought they were pretty obvious already tbh
  14. I'm going to be dragging them all into water sources so they won't last long.

    Community Banlist

    Yes, well if admins choose to continue using an outdated banlist that hasn't been updated in close to a year and nobody maintains that is your only recourse.
  16. I'm pretty sure there is a bug at the moment that if a vehicle is destroyed it won't respawn, it just sits there fully destroyed. It's saying this is fixed.

    Dayz standalone

    It's a steam game, you will need steam to play it. Whether they will sell keys separately that you can then add to steam is unknown, I expect they would in the BIS store but we have to wait and see, either way you cannot play without steam.
  18. Tyler made the logo if that helps. http://www.tylerbarberdesign.com/
  19. Very strange, notice the George Smith name towards the end. He is the default player model in ArmA. You'll find a George Smith NPC/AI appears in DayZ randomly sometimes nobody knows why though. Glitch in the matrix I suppose. You'll find a few stories of this George Smith ghost if you search.

    DayZ 1.7.7.Dev Bug List

    I've tried placing a tent on a few servers now and it feels like if you are within 1-2 metres of a rock/wall/slope it won't let you place it. I see the tent flash up briefly in weird directions when trying to pitch it (like behind me or to my left when I'm placing it on flat ground in front of me with no objects close to it. Occasionally I will get one to pitch but it will turn my character 45degrees and pitch it somewhere else which makes trying to hide a tent virtually impossible now. I assume something was changed to prevent tents being placed inside rocks, walls etc but it feels way to sensitive now like you can't be anywhere near them when placing them. I have no idea what hive versions the servers are running though sorry. US3480 HFB FR 130 UK 498 US 845

    BEService File Issues "HELP?"

    What changes are you actually trying to make? As the name suggest BEService.exe is a service, (basically a program that operates in the background). The black command prompt that quickly flashes up is exactly what you would expect to happen when you run it, you'll then find BEService running under services in the task manager. I would expect Battleye would kick you from servers if you actually did change anything with it though. Sounds like it's an issue with an xsplit update, have you tried using an alternative like OpenBroadcaster? http://www.xsplit.co...hp?f=92&t=20630
  22. There will be no preorders.
  23. I've been kicked twice by it, I noticed another players zombies despawned just before I got kicked, that could be entirely unrelated though.
  24. In DayZCommander, under settings check both the steam options are ticked.
