  1. I just started playing saturday but I absolutely see your point. I do miss a "sandbox" where I can get to know the system and introduce other new players without the fear of running into an unknown human. As for a private server, I agree. That was the first thing I tried, looking for a sandbox and I don't see why they shouldn't include this. I'm currently playing on low populated servers as I'm scared to death to meet another human. That is part of the fun for me though, but if you and your crew are having fun, I don't see where all the hate is coming from.
  2. So you're running 95389/1.7.2.4 with the replaced weapons file and can't join 95417/1.7.2.4 servers?
  3. There's a bigger forum post here called "forever stuck at loading screen" or similar that has a solution (5 pages long or something). First you need to downgrade from 95417 to 95389 (ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_95389.zip). Please note, when you start opp A2:OA it will still say 952xx because that's the official release. You won't see 95389 unless you run @beta but that's not necessary, you can see the version-number in DayZ if you run the six-shooter and just click launch (instead of clicking on a server). After you've done that, download http://www.dayzmod.c...2.4-Weapons.zip and replace the two files in the zip archive. You should now be able to join almost all 95417/1.7.2.4 servers and about half of 95389/1.7.2.4 servers. Older servers won't work. And it might just be my impression but I have a higher success rate with the ingame browser than six-shooter. One thing that worries me though, I started playing on saturday and I tried for hours before I came across this solution and it took me some time to figure out what servers allowed me to join and who didn't. If they're tracking alt+f4 users I'm in a world of hurt because of this. I've played maybe 5-6 sessions and probably have 50+ alt+f4 exits, none from when I was actually playing.... I've yet to come across a player actually. Edit: Sorry, here's the correct thread where I read the solution that worked for me: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/48723-official-1724-stuck-at-loading-screen/page__st__60
