Loot maps, they're your friends! http://dayzdb.com/map#2.074.084

I like how it took you 5 minutes to figure out your bullets weren't doing anything

Got these: 1xMk48 Mod 0, 1xAS50, 1xNVG, 2xGPS's. Want these: 2xGhillie suits, 2xM4A1 CCO SD. Since this will be our first trade we'll have 1 or 2 snipers doing overwatch while the trade takes place (depends on what time the trade will happen). We'll also pick the spot for this to happen, tough deal - we know, but we're not taking any unnecessary risks.

Crunchy, just lost the as50 by accident, will try and get it back asap and write then. Oh and Estonian, ill write you then aswell.

I'll join that round!

So last night a friend of mine decided to buy arma 2 in order to play dayz, but when he entered the game he had a serious issue with his mouse which he explained to be something like negative mouse acceleration as shown in this video: We've searched around the net for the past 6 hours or so and haven't been able to find any working solution for this. Some people said that lowering "mouse smoothing" would change this, but it didn't in my friends case. We've also tried editing the ArmA2:OA.cgf file where we changed the line "GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;" to "GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1" as another person suggested, but no luck there either. Now im hoping some of you have a solution to this issue since it makes the game unplayable for him atm. Some added info i think might help is that he is using a "microsoft intellimouse explorer 3.0", and that we're 5 mates playing together and he's the only one experiencing this.

The weird part is that it seems worse on his computer than it does on mine and the 3 others, that made us think it might be a problem that could be fixed, but we're beginning to think it might be either his configuration or his own perception of how its supposed to work that's doing this.

Ok the reinstall didn't do anything im afraid, neither did changing the compatability. Yes we've checked the config file and it saves it everytime after we put it to "read only", the weird thing is that everywhere we've looked people say that we should change "GPU_MaxFramesAhead=;" to "GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;" but in all our cases we have ""GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;",

Yeah that thread on dev-heaven helped us alot in understanding what the problem was to begin with, but unfortunately he never reached a solution despite his amazing work in describing the issue. We've played around with the X and Y axes and mouse smoothing and found that it helps a bit, but its still different from the experience the rest of us have. When you say "run the game in compatability mode" what exactly do you mean ? the only way i know off is running it in compatability mode for old windows versions. I just put my mate on reinstalling his drivers, will report back when he's done. Thx for the quick response btw.

Well written story that i enjoyed reading :) I once killed my friend aswell but not so much by accident. We were raiding the airstrip north of berezino when we got absolutely swamped by zeds, seeing how they looked to have aggro on my mate and not me and also knowing that we wouldn't survive i made a quick decision that one life is better than none. I then shot him in the leg and started running away as fast as i could, with the zeds focusing on eating him. Didn't work though, being new at the time i had no idea where to run to and ended up running straight into more zeds. He yelled my ears off on skype during this and promised me payback, but feeling like Shane(TWD) for a couple of seconds made it all worth it B)

love the third :D

Im currently playing with 2 friends, and only one of them is having this issue aswell.

If you've right clicked while not having a weap/flashlight equipped it makes you walk slowly. Hope this helps

I prefer 1st person and think that 3rd person does give a player an advantage, therefore i only play on servers with 3rd person disabled, problem solved :)

Me and a couple of friends have been playing for about 3 weeks now and haven't seen a vehicle yet. We heard one once but never managed to find out where from. I don't think the map should be littered with vehicles but i still think there should be more of them, maybe make them appear in a less repaired state, so that its still a challenge to get one working.

Well so far i've died from falling about 50centimeters (ladder inside barns), trying to enter a building while prone, accidently pressing a button while climbing down from a deer stand making me fall roughly 1 meter or so, and from parking my car in a bush. It sucks yeah but at the moment its a part of the game. I learned from each of these experiences and also looked up these forums in order to find out other weird ways of dying and and haven't had a weird death for more than a week now. I suggest you do the same.

The problem now is that we can't cast our vote in just 2 of them, we have to answer all 3 for it to acknowledge our vote meaning that all people older than 18 still have to vote in that category.

The ages listed could be a bit more varied but otherwise a good thesis as said by another poster, i used to play Duke3d/wolfenstein/quake alot, and since im only 23 years old it seems kinda off that im so close to the 18 year olds who've never experienced these games.

The first time i threw a grenade, my 3 friends close to me didn't laugh that much though....

jesus christ, i can't stop laughing !!!

Im glad you looked at the time they posted this, and noticed that this was written 1 minute later... oh wait

about every 5 minutes the first day i played, damn those controls !

Now please tell me if im wrong, but i think the difference here is whether or not you use loot maps. I started playing with my friends roughly 3 weeks ago and we've been using loot maps since day 1, making finding weapons very easy. But last week i found out 2 other friends of mine were also playing this and had never heard of loot maps, they we're over the hill of excitement whenever they found a winchester/lee enfield. So for those of you who thinks weapons are hard to find, do you use loot maps ?
