If he played on the same computer as you, with the same game copy installed, then he just used your character, because characters are linked to GUID which is shared for all profiles inside the ArmA 2.

I was afraid to lose my stuff only first few deaths, but now it takes me three hours (two hours, if I meeting someone on my way :) to fully re-equip myself so this not affect my gameplay at all.

Barbed wire is not a problem since you can always step up over it. :)

For me, zombie spawn seems to be unfixed, spawning new zombies while I killing the old ones.

First of all I would like to say that I really adore this mod and for now this is the only game I play (bye bye World of Tanks and QuakeLive - at least for a few weeks more :) Also, I would like to say that I do realize that this is still an ALPHA and bugs are inescapable. But today I was totally caught of guard not by a bug, but by a feature. :) So I played on a server with 188 ping and suddenly I lost connection. This is not a big problem usually, but this time I lost connection at the center of small village, filled with zombies, which I wanted to aggro in order to shoot them in the barn, where they are week (I'm such a smart ass!). Still not a problem, village is well known to me so I reconnected to a different server and prepared to run for my life in the direction of aforementioned barn. And then the shit hits the fan. I was spawned at the same place I was last time before disconnection. Server was different, but zombies were in the same numbers - so I prepared to have my fun in the barn after some refreshing jogging with screams of zombies behind my back. But, all of a sudden, screen turned totally black, and the only thing I was able to see was message about me having outdated version 1.5.7 and server having 1.5.8.1. Also I heard lots of sounds - basically sounds of zombies spotting me. In a few seconds screen turned from black again to normal. I analyzed situation, took the direction and hit the run button. But then - OMFG!!!! - the same black screen with the same message came up. This time I heard not only sounds of zombies spotting me, but also sounds of zombies attacking. I ran in the total blackness for a second or two, when it went normal again I saw that I basically surrounded by zombies. As I was bleeding, with blood left around 5000 the best thing I managed to do - is to hit Abort button from the menu. This way my character was saved. This is the way how I learned that update 1.5.8 finally hit the servers. So my resume: saving character using dirty trick is not a thing to be proud about, but again, this ridiculously idiotic abomination of proper error reporting is also not the way how version check should be made. I should not be able to connect to server with different version in the first place, this is all. I know that Rocket is overloaded right now (and this is an understatement :) but hope that sometimes in the future it will be fixed. :)

Thanks, Captain Obvious!

For me, nothing really changed, except the fact that now you should engage zeds from slightly more distance than before. Taking into account that I'm not interested with PvP (perhaps, intentionally) Winny is still a gun of choice for me.

No you are not. :) Me, for example, managed to trap spawned bandit by being 10 meters behind him while he was connected and spawned in the game. Learnt by previous bad experience, I opened fire without hesitation and took some juicy loot. He was really well equipped (every slot in the bottom was filled with differrent tool), so I still smiling while remembering this encounter. However, easy comes - easy goes. On the next day I lost everything to another newbie with PM who came too close to me due to my hesitation. :)
