Yes I thought so. I do wonder if either the car iself is designed to be bullet proof to calibers other than .50 cal or if the car might have been made invulnerable.

I have been playing DayZ for two weeks now and I am quickly loosing interest in playing because of the confusion with tents not saving. It is now obvious that my tent is totally useless for storing items in it. So many items that have simply vanished. 1.7.2.5 + 96061 Edit: I have noticed that if you place items in a tent before the very first server restart, the items will respawn multiple times regardless. This small eh feature compensates for the awkward situation with the tents, so I am less bothered by the tent issue now. We also noticed that an ATW stayed in place after a server restart.

I imagine there should be enough deer stands (small watch towers) around the map to provide people with various military weaponry. And then you have the helicopter crash sites all over the place.

I suspect it might be possible to reload the gun as long as the ammo is carried in your inventory (not backpack). I am confident I have tried this myself on one occasion.

I have no idea as to what kind of issue this is, but I am thinking that you perhaps have to manually allocate more memory for win 7 and Dayz somehow. Sry, can't help you with this, but perhaps others have a clue to what might be the issue here.

What you wrote doesn't make much sense to me. What errors are you getting then?

A friend got a global ban apparantly, after getting the following wrror message: Failed to update Battleeye Failed to receive from BE Master We have updated to beta 96061 and I have been playing with 96061 for a few hours already earlier this evening without any issues. The server version is 96063 Both server and us use DayZ version 1.7.2.5 So, hehe what is happening? Could this be the same thing that happened to others with the 775 patch earlier?

Hm, now my friend is in the game again, though he did say he got a global ban message earlier.

I wonder, who can save the content of a tent so that items doesn't disappear on server restart? The DayZ wiki pretty much claims that any new items placed in a tent, in which that is a tent you don't "own", will disappear on server restart. I guess I can test this out sometime, but I thought I could just ask around first.

I would suggest the M249, great for zombies anyway.

I realize that my mouse is not the best mouse so to speak, but the jerky uneven aiming when looking down a scope or looking down the iron sight seem too bad to be the fault of my mouse. It is as if even slow movement have the aim to move incrementally instead of moving smoothly to the side. This effect is very apparent when setting mouse smoothing to 0,1 or some low value. Perhaps I should use a large degree of mouse smoothing? I just want to aim properly. Not sure what could be wrong here.

I wonder, how can I tell if the addons Private Military Company and British Armed Forces is installed properly? I noticed today that the files for the addons PMC and BAF apparently reside on my admin account, somewhere in a temp folder in the "user" folder in Windows. My ArmA 2/DayZ installation is on a non-admin account in windows. The folders for PMC and BAF are respectively 900 MB and 500 MB large. The ArmA 2/DayZ client show the addons as being loaded, but I cannot help wondering if something is wrong with where the files ended up being installed. I found these files by accident when using the software WinDirStat. (It shows how big folders and the branching tree structure of folders are, in bytes, percentage and then all represeted as graphics).

Thank you. I now see that I do have the PMC and BAF addons in my regular ArmA2 folder so I will delete the other ones I found.

I put a vehicle together and it is running fine, but now I wonder what to expect when wanting to keep this vehicle around. Q: If I remember to save the vehicle before a server restart, will the vehicle appear where I left it after a server restart? Q: Will it be ok to put some stuff into the "gear" of the vehicle without having to wonder if items will disappear. Q: Will the tires and the engine wear out by simply driving the vehicle around? Beta: 95883 DayZ: 1.7.2.5

I am aware of how the accuracy for aiming becomes worse when moving around, but my issue is not not about that feature. I guess I can play alittle with zero, half and full mouse smoothing and see if I find any of those three settings to my liking.

The bicycle was still there when I logged on now hours later. I took a bicycle ride down to where I found this vehicle and there it was. Respawned, with tyres missing, engine damaged and zero fuel. The gear section showed pretty much the same items as I found.

Do no vehicles survive a single server restart with 1.7.2.5 ? :o

I read in some other thread where it was claimed the "save" function had nothing to do with the position of the vehicle, which would be nice I guess.

Double tapping the W key makes your character sprint immediately, from either crouching position or when standing upright. Doesn't work when prone though afaik.

I believe you have to scroll the mouse wheel near the dead player and then choose "take xxx backpack" or somesuch. You will want to take off your own backpack before attempting to take on someone elses.

Not so fast people. :blush: There has been a server reset just now (I was waiting for it, didn't want to sit in the vehicle when the server reset) and the vehicle is now nowhere to be seen. A bicycle has instead been placed where the vehicle was. :D I don't want to save the bicycle in case it messes up something. This has been the first server reset after I had put the vehicle together, moved it away to a location and saved it. I saved the vehicle more than one time btw. I guess I will have to log back on after the next server reset and see if the vehicle returns. Does perhaps the vehicles respawn the same odd way that tent do?

Going prone in daytime will help against zombies that would otherwise spot you. Alternatively, walk around at night time. The first two hours or so as the darkness sets in at nighttime, the screen is really really dark at first, but if you wait a couple of hours, you will notice that the environment is noticably brighter. Gamma adjusting your game and adjusting your brightness will help you at night if you don't have night vision goggles.

Great! :)

I got the impression that servers with 1.7.2.5 wouldn't seem to really allow me on, when I used the 1.7.2.4 version of DayZ. The screen alway said "loading" and I have been assuming that all of them have been similar to the one where I had to wait over 20 min without anything happening and where the screen would still say "loading".

Poll questions seem a little flawed to me. I can say I get the glitch randomly, but it always happens on certain places on random.
