OPs main post was a wall of diarrhea. There are tons of stuff to do once you get "gear". 1) Join a clan or play with friends (game is way more exciting when playing together) 2) Search for tents and vehicles 3) find a good location for a base (making a small tent city is my current goal and it is harder than you think) 4) hunt server hoppers. ( the high profile spawn locations are a great place to stake out. Hide in the treelines and wait for people to login to the spawns this is how you get some really awesome gear) 5) Help other people (it may sound risky but you can and will actually find decent people in the Mod. The mentality is shoot first ask questions later but, that doesn't make people bad. Itchy trigger fingers aside the most fun I have had in DayZ was teaming up with randoms it adds much realism to the experience.) You are only limited by your imagination.

Who cares?

Why not just use the quick launch icon and then choose a server via DayZ when it loads? We are all having the same problem.

T.I.L.

How?

Lucky all i found so far was a fucking bicycle which i ditched 10 minutes after riding around like a moron.

The OP is obviously trolling for attention.

I saw people flying a huey the first week I played which was like 3 months ago...I assumed you could repair and fly them no?

It's interesting though...might be hackers?

This analogy is so win.

This is exactly why server hopping should always be a part of the game. It goes both ways.

Everyone server hops. EVERYONE does douchebag things in DayZ. You'll be back.

This is awesome. Kudos.

It's been about 5 days now and I am not seeing any local servers for PST (Seattle, LA etc) anyone having the same issue. I honestly cant get into any games on the servers that are there. I just get stuck on 'Loading'.

Is it me or did the stances change in DayZ i cant stand straight unless im holding shift to sprint otherwise im prone, crouched or half crouched. Did they change something in a recent patch?

hey guys, I am having a hell of a time with the debug monitor it is like an inch to the right of the ear and the eye icons which takes up a massive amount of space in my LOS and no matter what resolution I chose it wont put it in the top right hand of the screen above the ear. It is quite literally taking away from the game having a big square in the middle of it. I have a decent computer but my max resolution is 1440x900. Any thoughts on how i can fix this or even just remove it all together. It stops me from seeing stuff around me. I attached a screen shot so you can see what I mean... http://imgur.com/1svwT Thanks

I am not really new to this but I am completely and utterly frustrated with trying to get this stuff working properly. first off the BattleEye version in game shows 1.60 and shows I have 1.60 but will not allow me to join the majority of servers. Upon connecting attempts a SHITTY error shows up saying I have the wrong version and shows some 1.6.9237232345234234234 random numbers or something. SO I take it upon myself to try and update battleEye in steam guess what? I fucking can't. Downloaded the new updater does nothing and I continue to get this message: MISSING STRING! So at this point I have no idea what to do. I have even attempted to reinstall ARMA 2 files in steam and nothing works. I would like to get back in the game. It is so frustrating I am pretty sure my face will end up through my monitor by the end of the week. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Fixed it needed to copy over all the beta files and the exe into the existing folder. Ran the game as CO in steam bam it worked.

I launch the beta expansion it shows the correct version but says im missing files again. What in the fuck.

Same here its been over 2 weeks now no change in anything every update I try to put through says 1.60 but the server version is 1.60.93666

You would think Arma2 would update automatically within Steam or are these non official patches? Btw thanks guys ill give this a try. EDIT: Updated the most recent beta patch as instructed, BattleEye still missing string. (BAD SERVER VERSION) "1.60 " so I do not see what the goddamn issue is. It's doing the exact same thing it has been for 2 weeks FUCKING UP. beta update 1.60.93666 is nowhere to be had. Every time I install it says 1.60.

Updated the DayZ updater, reinstalled Battleeye Bullshit. Ran as admin. Tried this numerous times, still get the message bad Server version even when it shows the correct version when I load the game. Anyone have this ridiculous frustrating shit happen to them too? Fixes? Thanks, Also when I attempt to update Battleeye now it gives me an error "missing string" I think I am up ass fuck creak without a condom.
