Breakthrough

I respectfully disagree' date=' and argue that for the purposes of video games, PRNGs are so seemingly random nobody would notice. And no, I am not saying the helicopter sites are random - I highly doubt it. Just saying, from a programmer's point of view, there is a such thing as random (even without HRNGs or PRNGs)

No; someone else must apply the blood bag to you (i.e. blood bags can only be used on other players).

Hmm, seems to work after re-installing again... I suppose this thread should be closed/deleted.

Just got this for the first time, after posting this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=18301 No zombies still, but now I spawn unconcious too... Maybe this happens if you disconnect too quickly from another server? Last server I joined, I left very fast (trying to solve issue in thread I linked to above)...

Did you update Arma2 to the latest beta patch? Have you tried this on multiple servers? Make sure you're running the same (or later) version of Arma that the server is.

Alright, background: haven't played since 1.5.X.X. Updated to ArmaII Beta, installed 1.7.1.5, and connected to a server. Had all my gear saved, can see other players, but NO zombies. Debug monitor says 0/0 for zombie count. I can interact with other players, and was killed by one actually. Others can see zombies, they just ignore me. After respawning, same thing. I've tried several servers, respawned multiple times, and the error remains: I see no zombies. I can loot cities and pick up gear. I do see items on the ground. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Tried: respawning / another server I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the zombies :D:heart:

Thank you guys for the fast updates, much appreciated!

What @blockhead said. I bought ArmA II *just* for this game, in the hopes that the original ArmA II team will notice - and provide some kind of additional patches or support for the game, specifically in the direction of DayZ. Yes, I would have liked some of that money to go to the DayZ developers - but you also mustn't forget the amount of work and effort that went into just developing the game engine (3D rendering, networking, AI, scripting, etc...). What the DayZ team should do, IMHO, is setup a donation page.

+1. I was in an open field, and got disconnected from the server ("No message received for X seconds..."). Reconnected to another server, and spawned in `Wilderness`. Now I consistently spawn there on every server (*with* all my gear), and occasionally catch a glimpse of other players spawning there - but it appears that all of these players are teleported to another location very quickly after spawning there (a few seconds at most). I can see their player names and status (survivor/bandit), and interact if they are there for enough time. I saw a bandit spawn and killed him. Searching the body revealed no items, nor did my bandit kill count go up. Odd...
