Hidden_Ops (DayZ)

Nice, but you wouldn't have made it far if it was my group there with our NATO rounds :P

Me and my group don't use the 'cheat maps' yet we still manage to find plenty of crashed heli's. We usually just loop the north part of the map looking for camps and heli's along the way/

Movement speed by foot/vehicle is indeed tied into your FPS.

Okay you aren't understanding the concept of this and I am tired.

The beta patches (for the most part) are released to improve DayZ gameplay. And to test if they indeed have improved the targeted feature.

Do you know what an alpha is? The amount of players doesn't change the fact that it is an alpha. They aren't going to stop updating/fixing/testing the game because a few people are upset and were told this was a full release game.

It's an alpha.. if you don't want to participate in testing the game mechanics wait until the full release.

"Omg! Why does this alpha have bugs!" Really dude? It's an alpha. You are not even providing enough information for anyone to help you in the first place. "My game is crashing" is not very helpful. Have you tried re-installing? Are you running as admin? Is it steam or disc? Is your monitor turned on?

ArmA is a RAM hog, however my old comp had 3 gigs and handled itself alright. So idk what could be causing your problem.

This is the cycle. New player comes --> Friendly, wants to team up --> Gets killed by bandit --> Turns into bandit --> Shoots new players on sight --> New player turns into bandit --> Infinite Loop

Is your ethernet cable plugged in?

I can pick up chem's during the day..

What are the specs you are running? And have you tried the torrent link or mirrors instead of six updater? http://dayzmod.com/?Download

There problem is you are using a flashlight, drop it and you will live longer.

I dont understand.. first you praise the engine and now you are saying it is "messed up and badly programmed". What point are you trying to make if any? ArmA II is already "free to program" look at Armaholic and all the community made addons/mods. There are more than you could ever wish to try. It is an "appropriate fps" and many people seem to enjoy it. Again, I really don't see what point you are trying to make..

The current ArmA II Engine doesn't support those effects. And how would any game companies make money if they just released new content in free patches all the time?

Glad you figured something out.

It appears you aren't running DayZ when you are starting the game to get those messages.

What do you think ArmA III will be? It is another game in this series, just an upgraded engine. There will be better physics (ragdoll effects), more destructible buildings, etc. ArmA III will only be an upgrade of ArmA II.

Wrong forum section, try the men seeking men section.

Where is your game directory? If steam it should be HD > Steam > Steamapps > Common > ArmA II OA (Or CO) > @DayZ --- Just move the new files to the @DayZ Folder. And overwrite the old ones.

Your character is saved via GUID, which does not change as you switch profiles. So no you could not do that.
