Yeah. This game is frustrating man. I lost 13 hours of gameplay to a single sniper bullet. Lost everything.

My folders are separate and I can run DayZ just fine. If I was you, I'd download DayZ Commander. It will install DayZ for you and keep ARMA 2/DayZ up to date. Its also one of the better launchers for DayZ. I love it.

That's it? Where are days 1-14?

Very, weird.

There's hope after all.

You really don't want your tent close to any high traffic area. The purpose of a tent is to store your precious supplies. Having a tent close to loot areas will just lead to it being found.If you could get a vehicle, it would definitely make the whole situation better. You'd be able to have your tent(s) way out in the middle of the nowhere, and not worry about someone finding them. But then again, if you had a vehicle, it would basically be a tent on wheels. I put everything in a tent. Weapons, ammo, food, etc. When I go on a scavenging run I empty my pack (ALICE), and only carry a primary weapon, map, compass, one food/drink, painkillers, morophine, and a bandage. That way I can maximize my loot intake. No problem.

Yeah the first shot was definitely nice. The second guy was dumb though. Just gonna come out of cover with a sniper raining down on me. By the way, what do you record with?

Blame Rocket for that. I agree if you're paying $40-50 a month for a server, you SHOULD be able to lock the server. But its retarded.

Alright. I hate the graphical glitch just as much as you guys. And I played for 10+ hours yesterday without the glitch ever happening. The guy I was playing with however had it the entire time. I was just making my way towards Green Mountain and I got hit with the graphical glitch. And I was thinking, how is this possible? I just played 10+ hours the day before without one problem. Now I have the problem? I looked at my video settings and I was playing in "Windowed" mode. I had been playing in 1280x720x32. So I figured why not change it back. As soon as I changed it back from "Windowed" mode, the glitch was instantly gone. I thought I'd share this because playing in "Windowed" mode is convenient when you're tabbing to look at the map online, using Skype, or do other stuff. So I figured why not share this. TL;DR - Don't play in "Windowed" mode. It possibly causes the graphical glitch.

I think the hatchet would be a GREAT starter weapon. Very useful against Z's.

Misleading title. I was about to be happy for a second.

ROFL. If someone just drops dead, I claim hacks. Otherwise, that really is the worst luck ever.

It can take me an hour or more to find a top tier weapon. So I like it the way it is...

Server is running an older version of ARMA 2 so I can't join. Its also 100ms of latency for me. Too much.

I play with low/disabled settings for everything. And the last time I flushed my graphics was a week ago. So I just figured I'd share.

Yes.

Well I managed to go 10+ hours without it happening once. It's a hot fix for me. Hopefully it stays like this.

You learn quick that this game brings out the true nature of people. If someone is nice, it'll show. If someone is ruthless, it'll show. Two days ago I was playing with a guy I met in game for about an hour or so. I found two mags of AK ammo then found the AK. I gave it to the guy I was with and he instantly killed me. All I could do is just sit back in my chair and laugh. This game is so unpredictable because of the community. That's why I love it and hate it.

From my experience, you have a better chance of surviving if you play with one, two other people. Today I managed to stay alive for ten hours roughly, had one murder, and killed nearly 60 zombies. When the guy and I started it was rough. But we looted areas we knew people wouldn't be at for a better chance of surviving. The game is realistic. And that's what makes it amazing.

What this guy said. I'd stay away from major cities just for weapon hunting. Once you get a decent weapon with ammo from the minor cities I'd go into Cherno/Elektro/NWAF/etc.

I was having fun today playing with a guy I met on here. We've been playing for like nine hours or so. Our journey started with him being in Balota and me spawning in Krutoy Cap. I made the long ass haul to the barn North of Cherno where I saved his ass from a shotgun wielding dude. We picked up a CZ with three mags. We hit Nadez, Vyshnoye, and got to Stary. Nobody was there except zombies. We made out with amazing loot. I had a AKM with three mags along with an Enfield with eight mags. He still had the CZ and a M4 with ACOG. We had maps, compasses, food, water, etc. We were finally starting to get good loot. We were making the trek from Stary to the farm building East of Kabino where a sniper killed both of us. He was just standing in the building doorway my partner told me. I thought it was odd for a sniper to be there. I was having fun up until that point. It happened so fast we didn't have time to react. It wasn't easy getting to where we got. We both received blood transfusions at least once. I was knocked unconscious twice. Multiple bandages. Almost starving and being dehydrated. Just nine hours of playing for nothing basically. But I guess this is what the game is about. I'll end up starting over again. But it really sucks. Hahaha. But hey. What can you do?

We were playing with caution. And every time we heard a gunshot we dropped to the ground. But we didn't see this dude at all. I was sprinting as was dropped immediately. He barley saw the guy but that was because he had the CZ. It was a good nine hours. Now just gotta do it again. :)

I'll take the ghillie suit off your hands. :)

Hey there guys. Another survivor here looking for a group to roll with through DayZ. I'm semi-experienced with the game. Been playing for three weeks or so. Just looking for a group who plays legit and is easy going. You don't have to give me any supplies. I'll scavenge my own. Playing DayZ by yourself for a few weeks gets boring. I'm mature and listen well. I have Skype/Vent and a mic. Message me on here if I can join you.

Yes I have Skype. I mentioned in my OP I have Sykpe/Vent.
