  1. It's still done. People just get in and out of them within the 24 hour timer as far as I know.

    Using Skype, and losing in game sound

    Type 'Sound' into the start-bar search and open it. Go to the communications tab and select 'Do nothing.'
  3. There are no signs of thermal AS-50s in this video.
  4. When you spawn and log in, you will in the bottom right corner see a brief description of where you are. I suggest that you try to spawn in the same place by respawning, but the first time you spawn--look for that text message and then road signs. Locate each other and play together. I recommend staying away from online maps! The game is much more interesting when you don't know the world, and you'll appreciate the map when you find it in game.
  5. You are talking about 2-3km distance. So that is a big no. Go to armaholic and download the shooting range mission (by murcielago) and TRY this. It has a projectile camera so that you can follow the round all the way. If you are talking about 1.5km--it is certainly possible but with very low damage per hit.

    red x over all the server

    This means that your arma 2 version is not up to date. Are you using Sixupdater?

    My game from the last 2 days wont load

    Are you referring to the debug forest/plains? Or are you spawning on the coast as a new character? If the former, you will either have to suicide or make sure that all your game and mod versions are correct.

    3 Weeks of hard work, finally paid off for my squad

    Look again. They're not silenced.

    3 Weeks of hard work, finally paid off for my squad

    This is a good thing. You're a moronic sniper if you aim for the head, especially if you are using a .50 calibre sniper rifle.
  10. Get the shooting range mission by murcielago from armaholic and try this at 1400m. If you aren't firing a .50 cal round, your round is going to drop more and more and more and lose speed and do little to no damage. Don't expect to engage anyone at 1000m+ with anything that isn't a sniper rifle or a HMG.

    Q. Can zombies open doors?

    If you open a door for a zombie, he'll close it so that they can continue walking through it.
  12. Why do you have to put it in appdata? Is this a steam thing or mandatory for everyone? I play fine on updated servers with only putting the two .dll files in the expansion\battleye but my game isn't back-compatible, even to 94997 which is the version this was introduced.

    The dreaded waiting for host problem

    It seems that the new updates are not back-compatible. Try a server that is of the exact same version as yours (i.e. 95054 or 94997 depending on what you're using). http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/36099-constant-wait-for-host-with-95054/
  14. I did a search, with no useful results. What am I missing? I've updated my BE, both the server and the client .dll are in place (though there is no actual 64-bit download, so I went for the 32-bit) Does 95054 mean that I can only join 95054 servers? Previous versions have let me join any server with an older version.

    Constant wait for host with 95054?

    I came to the same conclusion after trying servers. This is a little disappointing--but will be fine when when the other servers catch up.

    can someone tell me where i went wrong

    I don't know then.

    can someone tell me where i went wrong

    Did you join a server that connects to an alternative master server, i.e. doesn't have your character saved? Did you try different servers? What servers did this happen on?

    New DayZ player inbound. Any tips/hints?

    Familiarize yourself with the controls and the movement. Most people who get frustrated or die often do not understand how it works. http://dayzmod.com/f...elpful-threads/ Have a look through, and make sure you understand movement, which key bindings do what, aiming and firing. Check out the Gear & Inventory thread as this is tricky for a lot of new players. Have fun! Edit: If you want a greater experience that lasts for longer, don't use any external maps or loot guides!

    Steam Version vs Retail Version

    It will work. If you launch through sixupdater you should be fine regardless, but if you want to combine the two games into Combined Operations, you can copy all of the contents of the ARMA 2 folder into the steam folder for operation arrowhead. This means that you can create shortcuts on your desktop, as an example to illustrate; here is mine: Target: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -world=empty "-mod=expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;@DayZ Start in: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2"

    Player stuck in freelook view...

    Open your map, even if you don't have one. This'll stop you from firing when tabbing back in. It's slightly safer than opening the escape menu since there is a big juicy respawn button there!

    M1911 Best sidearm

    The revolver is accurate up to 100m and the M1911 is only accurate to about 50m. This is why I use the revolver, even if I sacrifice rounds per minute.

    A few questions from a nOOb

    1. As far as I know once saved, they last forever until tents are wiped by the devs. 2. There are two ways of interacting, the most common one is using the Scroll wheel up and down to open the action menu. Then click middle mouse to select. The other is to open your inventory with G and right-clicking an item. 3. Yes. You should steal gear & take a vehicle and drive off to a hiding place. Then remember to save your new vehicle so it's saved to the new location.

    Bad Serial Number Given at Setup?

    The usual fix for this is to Launch Arma 2 once, and then Operation Arrowhead once. This removes any registry issues you are having.

    Different Run Speeds?

    Did you sprint by double tapping W or did you hold Shift (jog)? Did you account for the fatigue one may have from running for longer prior to this test of yours?
  25. What servers do you play on? As long as you play on servers that are connected to the master server your character will be saved.
