*sighs several things... 1. apologies for an off handed teamspeak conversation landing in the dayz main forums. 2. all the squabble about viruses.. doomsday.. and who get 'infected' when... is silly. 3. dayz is a 'MOD' of armed assault... until the stand alone release... b.t.w. gz to the crew. 4. whether ones 'downloads' a .dll OR has one installed by any program installed.. such as arma.. which uses the dsound.dll as the interface from software to hardware sound system and drivers is moot. definition of .dll http://support.microsoft.com/kb/87934 A dynamic-link library (DLL) file is an executable file that allows programs to share code and other resources necessary to perform particular tasks. Microsoft Windows provides DLL files that contain functions and resources that allow Windows-based programs to operate in the Windows environment. now.. first and foremost this should not have been an open thread in dayz.. however.. required use of beta does not constitute 'live' across the arma community. i do not play dayz.. however i do have an extensive arma community portfolio which is easily verified via google search for 'loki arma'. (for good or bad) forget the drama and the strawman arguments about magical trolls putting stuff on ones system... and see it as it is... a 'potential hazard' that can easily be solved by BIS implementing a shut off switch that runs any and all user made .dll files 'if' desired. there is no need to defend or attack.. and whether this function that went 'live' months ago via beta or a few days ago for the regular arma user is an invalid distraction.. if one can show verifiable evidence that anything i have said is untrue.. please do.. but save the personal opinions.. as such. opinions.
