Old time player here (from August 2012) of the DayZ mod. The past year or so, I've been busy with the large amount of new mods, especially the popular ones like Epoch and Origins. I'll admit, they were fun, however it got to the point where if I died, I could just go back to base and gear up with anti-material rifles and such, only to drive around in my HMMV GPK. I miss the thrill of encountering another player, wondering if they are friendly or not. The adrenaline rush of knowing there is a chance of losing the gear you worked for. It made firefights intense. What's the vanilla mod like now? If you'd think it would appeal to me, please write below. I'm wondering whether or not it's worth the re-download.

Sounds good! Ahh, I remember the last time I played on a public hive server well over a year ago...logged out by the river wayyy northeast on the map. Just finished raiding a bandit camp with my group. Hopefully vanilla dayz servers get a bit more populated.

Hmm. Sounds like the mod is finally moving away from a "PvP with zombies on the side" to "Both players, zombies, and the environment are a threat." Glad to see it ramping up the survival aspect. When I played epoch, it was really just ---> buy weapons ----> kill/be killed -----> repeat

I used to play on Trainwreck, but moved on for various reasons. I now play on an excellent server with the most active admins I have ever seen. Website: http://www.biagaming.org/ Come join!

For the past month or so, Arma 2 OA has been crashing randomly. I am playing the DayZ Epoch mod. Sometimes, the game crashes while I am loading into the server. Other times, it will crash when I do something specific like check the player list by using the 'p' button. Other crashes are random. For example, I was playing on my main server and about 35 minutes into the session, I crashed while flying my new helicopter back to base. (Very frustrating) -I run everything as admin -I have tried verifying game cache -I have done complete reinstall of all arma files and the epoch mod -My computer specs are sufficient: 16 GB ram, 2500k, sli 770's etc. -I have tried multiple different nvidia drivers. -I am using the correct mod version and beta version Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated seeing as I have been dealing with this for far too long. Thanks in advance! :)

This: Needs to be more like this:

Hey; I am trying to change the following in my ARma2OA.cfg file GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3; I am trying to change them both to one. Unfortunately, whenever I launch my game through commander it changes back to 1000 and 2.How to keep it from changing? thanks in advance

*Please disregard my previous post* Anyways, I have a new server up and running! You can find us at 50.97.49.84:3153 or by searching "Ultimate DayZ" We can rollback if needed and have friendly and active admins! Stop by and say hi!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know I have a brand new server up and running. Map is currently running Chernarus but that could change if enough people want it to be! Anyways, I have a 200 vehicle limit, care packages, wrecks, a modified starting loadout [its not OP], and active staff! If needed, I can restore the server to a previous backup in the event a hacker comes on. Come join us at: 50.97.49.84:3153 Look forward to meeting you in-game!

Might as well rename DayZ to LazY

So recently, I have been playing on private hive servers that have edited vehicle spawns and stuff. It also displays a message after someone dies saying who they were killed by, and what weapon they were killed with. Recently, I have seen some "questionable" players who were killing people with something called "PUT". I once found the body of this player (after he rammed his helicopter into mine...I survived!) and he had the best stuff you can get in the game. After he died, he immediately killed someone with weapon "PUT". He claims this happens when you kill someone with a mounted gun from a truck or helicopter. That is wrong, for if you kill someone with a mounted gun on a vehicle, it calls is "NULL"...not "PUT". Thoughts or explanations? Thanks in advance. -Sixzoseven

Why would you put tank traps, sandbags, and barbed wire around your camp?

Sometimes, you cant avoid duping stuff. Whenever my friend logs out, his body stays there with all his gear. He can log back in and we have two sets of him...

Personally, I kill because it is exciting. Lets say you spot someone way of in the distance. You press "b" and notice that he is 500m away and has a hatchet. BORING! He poses no threat so killing him wont be fun. If he were part of a three man team and they had as50's and m4's, then it would be exciting knowing that you have a higher chance of losing all your good stuff. Loot is nice too. :D

I can confirm 1.7.2.6 is now available!

When are we going to be able to update to 1.7.2.6?

Something it is good at is taking down small obstacles like fences and signs. Heck, if you want, you can take down an entire cement wall!

Happened to me while driving full speed down a road. Didnt end well.

Just curious, would it work if I found every single player spawn location on the map and made a trap around them? I would use barbed wire and just enclose the spawn area. SInce the new player just spawned, they would have nothing to get rid of the barbed wire and they would not be able to suicide. I am not going to do this, but would it work if I did?

My friends server, US 280, does not have any vehicles spawning. This is a new server and just started running about 16 hours ago. Any ideas as to why no vehicles are spawning?

I dont think that is caused by hackers. Whenever a helicopter crashes, it does that. Happened to my team when my pilot accidentally ejected... Huge fire everywhere.

Server lag is gone!

Hello all, I would just like to make sure I know how things are working right now. I currently have a vehicle. I have already found where I would like to hide it when I am not using it. If I click "save V3S", will it stay exactly where it is when the server restarts? If not, what can I do to make sure it does? Also, what is the best way to store extra items so they make it through the server restart? A tent, or in a vehicle? Thanks for giving some of your time and effort to respond to this! :)

Bump...
