Lonesome killer, make sure you are running the game with -mod=@DayZ as the startup option in Steam or outside the quotation marks in the shortcut to OA. When you are at the main menu do you see @DayZ? Does @DayZ show up under expansions? Also, are you running the Steam or Retail version of the game?

Didn't see this posted about anywhere, if it is, I'll be happy to delete this post. In case you aren't following the Dayz Z Dev twitter: Major server-side upgrade has been rolled out, performance should increase for loading as it propagates over the next hour - Rocket 1 hour ago Source: http://twitter.com/#!/dayzdevteam

You don't need SixUpdater. Correct.

Wow, you've got a bunch of issues there. The only way I can tell you for sure to fix it, would be to uninstall everything and start from scratch following the install guides. This will get you playing DayZ, but you won't have your CBA and JayArma2Lib anymore. I understand if you don't want to do that, but you have too much going on at once to properly diagnose the issue over a forum post.

Bogel, what is your ping like for the Dallas servers? Some servers have a limit that kicks you if you exceed it.

I actually posted this fix yesterday, just fyi Rocket said he did not want people purchasing from Amazon.com because they screw the devs over.

Try running Steam as an admin. Steam has to edit the registry to apply Arma 2 keys when you run the game. This may not be happening correctly. Let me know if this fixes your problem.

Have a feeling that this is an ArmA2 engine bug and therefore might not be fixable. Until we know more, just make sure to assume crouch position before entering a doorway.

As ItAx said, this is a FEATURE implemented in the ArmA 2 engine. It therefore would be very difficulty/impossible to remove, and even then while annoying I feel it contributes to the realism aspect.

You do know there's a forum for suggestions, right? It's on the bottom of the list so I can see how you missed it: http://dayzmod.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=7 There's tons of topics on this exact subject, a quick search returns these results: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3054&highlight=night http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2826&highlight=night http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1738&highlight=night http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=322&highlight=night And that's only the topics that mention night in the thread title and aren't specifically talking about day/night cycle. Feel free to contribute your thoughts to any of those topics. Thanks.

Since it takes a while to respawn, (Waiting for server response, etc.) a good middle ground is to respawn until you're both near Cherno or Electro (includes Balota, Prigorodky and Kamyshovo) and then meet up somewhere in the tree line behind it to avoid conflict. When you spawn, your location show up very briefly in the bottom right corner of the screen. Use this map to verify location and arrange a meet-up: http://avidblur.com/arma2/

Source was posted in OP: http://twitter.com/#!/dayzdevteam I just don't have a signature so you didn't see it. Imagine this is my signature. Now you should see it.

Actually, there's 6124 players currently playing as of 43 minutes ago. When he was "waiting for it to die down" there were around 5500 playing. So looks like we will be waiting for awhile. Just be patient, Rocket already made his decision: "First stop the internet! Next the world!" - 6124 players currently playing #DayZ - This is actually insane. Keep on playing guys!

I made a new thread with the fix I posted, but Rocket has shared that Amazon.com screws the devs over, so I will honor his sentiments and not promote the deal even though I love Amazon.com: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4119

Specifically for the Amazon.com version 1. If you already installed Arma 2 and OA in different directories, you need to uninstall both copies. 2. Re-install Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead into the same directory 3. Apply the 1.60 Combinned Operations patch: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&task=download&id=756%3Aarma-2-combined-operations--operation-arrowhead--reinforcements-patch-1&Itemid=20〈=en I had this same problem until I did these steps.

Due to the recent dramatic increase in simultaneous online users (from hundreds to thousands), Rocket plan's to release updates less frequently but with more content to make is easier for everyone, especially servers to stay up to date. Until the population boom is compensated for the dev work will focus on server optimization and load balancing.

Do you happen to have a security program such as PeerBlock installed. The TX servers are listed under Cenega and IGN for me and blocked as a potentially harmful server. Might be your issue as well.

No, your character is linked to your player ID which is in turn linked to your CD-key

There is no Server Status page. Best thing I can point you to is the Dev Twitter, which as previously stated was last updated 7 hours ago: http://twitter.com/#!/dayzdevteam Rocket never expected the servers to go above 600 people on at the same time and the servers have recently peaked at 5000 users connected at once. He is currently investing all his dev time on handling server population. I should also add he works for Bohemia, the creators of Arma 2 as his day job and does this mostly in his spare time. This is a free mod in alpha, not a subscription based mmo.

From the DayZ Dev Twitter Account: Try another server. We had security issues so main system rebooted. So some server admins haven't caught up. Try another server :)
