Nice tip Bone :heart: Also , OP , this is listed at the top of the forum in the Index of Helpful Threads - [GUIDE] Keybindings & Tips For New Players - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5564

Good idea in theory, but not with DayZ in its current state. Sounds like alot of these new guys have no idea just how brutal bandits can be. But , it will be a good learning experience for you guys :evil laugh mwahahahah haha

Did you die after you originally put the tents up ?

I really hope this gets fixed soon imho properly working tents extend the life of the game. If there wasnt a way to store gear reliably ( i didn't say safely ) then after 2-4 weeks I wouldn't bother playing that char anymore as i would have already reached the end game. I would just have to suicide and start again looking for more starter bugs. Which does get boring real fast when out of nearly 300k players most the bugs get found within minutes.

Dang, sorry it didnt work Bob, only thing left to do is like reo said, just a fresh install. If that don't work then its something with your graphics card and or drivers may need re-installing. Try the fresh install first though.

hmmm damn , nothing wrong with those specs Bob. I have seen screenshots of the low res textures before from ppl who use arma2 fee , and they don't look like that. In the CCC control panel have you got AA and AF set on Application prefrence ? Oh just though of something, you need to delete the cfg files so that it can recreate them. in windows goto Documents folder and find the Arma 2 folder. C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Arma 2 Delete the ArmA2.cfg and then delete the ArmA2OA.cfg file. Now you need to launch Arma2 on its own so it re-creates the cfg file. Then launch Operation arrowhead on its own so it creats its cfg file too. Just gets as far as the main menu ingame then you can exit game. Then just launch as combined ops again or use the cmd file if your using the beta version of Arma2 - http://dayz.sykotix.com/arma-ii-beta-client-install/ Then in the ingame video options goto advanced and set the Texture detail Very high and the Video memory on default. Putting Video Memory on very high wil only use 512MB of your grpahics cards memory. But setting it on Default it will read the values that are in the .cfg file we recreated earlier. More Graphics card memory the game uses then the higher the resolution textures it can use. Hope this sorts your problem.

I just looked at the screen shots. That , does not look like a low res texture to me. It looks more like a texture problem due to graphics card and/or drivers. Whats your computer specs and what driver version are you currently running for your graphics card ?

One database, and i hope this really goes to One Server too one day. Would solve all these problems.

i recently reinstalled my OS and put the steam folder back in from a backup i had of it. Try Verify integrity of Game cache... When in steam goto Library, right click arma2 and choose properties at the bottom. In the new box that pops up choose the Local Files tab and then choose Verify game cache option. Do the above for Arma2 Operation Arrowhead too. Next do a re-install battlleye for both. Next you need to run Each game once so that it can create the cfg files. Run Arma2 and let it get as far as the ingame menus then exit game. Run Arma2 OA and same with egtting to menu and then exit. Then put the ARMA2_OA_Build_93965.exe ( or whatever version your trying to update to ) into your main Operation arrowhead folder. then run the .exe again and see if it works this time.

Awesome work BL1P ! Really enjoyed that :)

I must admit, i did actually start my DayZ experience with a group of rl friends. 5 of us. But, im such a stickler for actually surviving that after a couple of days ingame i got sick of respawning at the beach every 2 hours due to no fault of my own. Then spending 30mins + trying to get everyone back together in a group to start the whole last for 2 hours then die process again. My mates would play this like a team death match in pvp and L4D when it came to killing zeds. Constantly putting me in unessercery danger and wasting all our ammo ! They have no concept of stealth or sneakiness. I basically said "guys , fook off , i wanna get further than cherno and last more than a couple of hours so im doing this on my own." Needless to say , they have gone back to BF3 and i have only had 2 characters since then. My first one lasted 11 days and my 2nd character is now on day 20 and im loving it ! Im still playing solo btw. and yes , im a bandit :)

Animals moving faster would be freaking cool ! If you fire one bullet at a cow it should take off across the field and you have to chase it to try and get some more bullets into it hehe Would make for some funny videos ... cue benny hill music :D

Yeah you wont get out unless you do it manually ie walk/run. Which i explained how to do here - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17833&pid=160808#pid160808 Once you spawn in a debug area when you exit server your position will be saved. You asked how to install the beta .. that is how. At least now you can join properly updated servers so the spawning in debug areas will be rare. It was stated that the 1.7 series of patches NEEDS the beta of Arma2 to run correctly. There is still many servers that are not updated properly. First post - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=17398 Use Beta patch 93825 or above Don't mean to sound like a dick but as has been stated many times - this is an Alpha , = bugs. Read more and learn. It will help avoid future problems :-/

http://dayz.sykotix.com/arma-ii-beta-client-install/ Follow EXACTLY.

There is a way to get out of the debug forest. You are actually not that far from the playable part of the map. Problem is , you have to know which way East is. The forest is situated Just West of Pavlovo and Kamenka. If you run in an Easterly direction for about 5mins you will get back to civalization. Some tips if you havn't got a compass - The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. The clouds move in an Easterly direction. Plenty of videos on youtube about how to get out of the Debug forest :angel:

Correct me if im wrong but.... There is a hell of a lot of servers that are not even running the latest Arma2 Beta. When testing this patch please only join servers that have properly updated server files. Disregard what it says in the server description. Look in the bottom right hand corner at the required box - It should say 1.60.93825 If it says 1.60 then i don't think your gonna have a very good experience - debug areas, spawning with equipment missing etc... It was stated that DayZ patch 1.7.0 + NEEDS the latest Arma2 Beta to run correctly. On your computer and the actual server your joining. Why are some people having all these problems , and others seem to log in just fine and the only bug they report is zeds having super senses ? ... i think its the Beta problem. EDIT - Cleared up by Rocket - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=15967&pid=147206#pid147206 I was on the right track - kind of hehe ...

The bottom screenshot with the freindly fire text is what happens when players shoot each other in the debug areas. Debug Forrest Debug Fields AFAIK and apparently is a bannable offence - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8302

If I install this mod will it work for me on a DayZ server ? Or is it something that rocket would have to incorporate into the DayZ code ? Arma newb here, im not 100% sure how these things work yet.

It also depends how it pans out in regards to servers. If we have to rent our own servers with limited amount of players on each server then a one off purchase fee would be used. Im willing to pay as much as any other AAA charges. £40 in UK If it goes the one server route like CCP's Tranquility server ( which would solve alot of current problems ie Ghosting, Server hopping for loot etc .. ) run by BIS then it requires a different kind of fee. The purchase and continuous update of the super hardware for the one server and also the running cost's and GB/TB/pm Data useage ISP fees would be better maintained by a monthly fee subscription to ensure it keeps on running. £10pm UK is the going rate and yes i would quite happily pay that. The actual game is free you just need to pay £10 for your first 30DayZ <---- see what i did there :angel:
