Try DayZ Commander. http://www.dayzcommander.com/ Edit: This worked for me, and I actually like it quite a bit better than the current version of Six Launcher. However, Six Launcher is working on some really awesome updates like a buddy system/friends list, along with optimization and a few other features. So, stay up to date with Six as well. You can install and use both launchers at the same time with no ill effects.

That is pretty insane you noticed that. Sorry to disagree with EpeeNoire, but with all that noise beforehand I am guessing that was intentional.

When I play on low settings I have massive issues with this. When I play on normal settings I sometimes have issues. Restarting or using the flush command fixes it. However, it would be wonderful if those bodies were removed. They don't add anything in an Alpha / test version... unless they want to test that specific model and figure out what is going on.

From what I have read/experienced, if you play on the same server this will not happen. Pick one server and stick to it.

DayZ Commander will work in this particular situation if you are lazy. However, it is always a good idea to know how to do a manual install/update. Good thing you learned how. :)

Having a computer is much more important than a console. PC's/Macs are necessary for school/work these days. You can't skip out on the price of a computer to fund a console. If that was not your point then the price of a console will only buy a decent video card at this point in time... nothing more. Your point would be valid if everyone was buying a PC and console(s) TODAY. However, a lot of ->gaming<- PC's from 4 years ago are able to run this game. PC gaming is expensive. That is why we are able to enjoy the best graphics and highest resolutions. Sadly, consoles have been holding that development back for supposedly "AAA" games. EDIT: OFC_Bill I meant to include this: Your avatar might enjoy it. :P

EDIT: tl;dr: I am going to hatchet your ass. The Beginning: I have been playing this game since July 17th (my birthday). My younger brother purchased this game for me, and I have had an amazing time playing it with him and his friends (and myself... let's not mention that though). ;) After they taught me how to play, and I had a few encounters with other random players, I decided to give them some advice. "Shoot everyone in the face!" They immediately told me not to do that / that isn't nice / don't think that way. After a long debate, they convinced me that the 3 other people I had ran into were "bandits." So, I continued playing the game with the intention that a majority of the other players were trying to survive the same horrible zombie apocalypse I was. My Noob Years: My brother and his friend were in Elektro gathering supplies to move to our camp (obviously we should have been further north, but... oh well). I was nearby, so I asked if one of them could give me a blood transfusion. They asked me to meet them in the school (three story building), so I headed over there. I informed them over Skype that I was entering the bottom floor of the school house. My brother asked if I had an Enfield. I responded, "no." I thought he was asking if I had fired one and he heard it, or that I had the weapon in my hand. I was still new, so I didn't know you could see weapons on someone's back. My brother immediately started shooting at me, so I shot back and killed him. His friend was behind him and killed me within seconds. It all happened so fast none of us knew what happened until we saw the death messages on the server. (Note: Our server has no nameplates) My brother was quite angry, which I thought was hilarious (older brother syndrome). So, now I am confused because I was told not to immediately shoot people, but they shot me without asking if I was friendly. :( My "Being too Nice" Experience: One day, I log into the game near our camp, while someone is looking through our tents. After recently killing my brother, I decided to hold my fire and ask if they were friendly / are you my brother's friend? BAM!!! I get shot in the face. I suppose that was understandable, since the guy wasn't our friend. However, he could have apologized and I would have let him go... maybe. My Most Annoying Alpha/Bug Experience: I spawned on the coast (with all my stuff) without dying or server hopping. However, I had to try three times to connect to my normal server. That could have caused me to spawn on the coast. Either way, it is still annoying when I didn't die or server hop. But, this is an Alpha and a mod, so I shrugged it off (as I have with many bugs/glitches in PC games, mods, and alphas / betas before this one) and headed for my camp. My Close Encounter with Insanity: After two hours I arrived at my camp. (I didn't run straight there, since I wanted to check some of our other camps / loot areas on the way). My camp and all of the vehicles were gone. So, I decided to wait for a server restart. Insanity: I rejoined the server after a restart to find none of my tents or vehicles! Now... this is a mod, and it is in Alpha. It isn't even a game in Alpha... just a mod. So, I can't be mad at rocket, and I can't be mad at BIS (well I can be mad at them a little bit for their quirky engine). The only people left that I can be mad at / express my anger towards are the players. So, prepare yourselves for the wrath of the hatchet wielding maniac, the makarov madman, and/or the Lee Enfield lunatic!!!!! I AM COMING FOR YOU! Stay out of Cherno/Elektro if you know what is good for you! P.S. I am not actually going to do this... yet. Luckily, most of my rage has been released while writing this forum post. P.P.S Now I understand why people are so trigger happy... it releases anger (or maybe they really are just CoD PoS wannabe PC gamers... sorry to introduce consolism). P.P.P.S. You guys are awesome. I hope to kill you soon... or who knows, maybe we can team up some time (emphasis on the "maybe"). <3 nano

Haha, maybe I will do the same.

Hackers affect this game much more than other FPS games. This is due to the fact that new players / new spawns have to spend a large amount of time acquiring gear compared to other instant gratification (sorry, but I have to use that term here) FPS games. I lost my main point (damn wife bugging me), but I think this is fair enough to say: This is a mod/alpha/game-made-by-one-dude. Take a chill pill. If you want to grass roots the shit out of this issue then take it to BIS. However, I think they have already received the message.

I am about to become one of those so called "scum" Here is my meager attempt at explaining why: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/69830-why-i-want-to-shoot-you-in-the-face/

volunteers. As in... they do not get anything in return for their efforts. Whether that be time, money, resources, and/or expertise. Any one of those server operators could shut down their server today. There is no obligation to support this mod.

I am a little confused now. I found a/an UAZ in Cherno, but whenever I ran into stuff it would take and keep damage. According to my friends, (who are more experienced than I am) hacked vehicles repair themselves when you exit and reenter them. I shouldn't be in danger of being banned just because I found a vehicle in a city, right? I mean... someone could have left it there to loot a building.

haha, I taped my wedding ring to "w" and placed my phone on top of it to accomplish the same thing. I am starting to think that there should be more bicycles in this game...

Haha, this is an awesome story. We had something similar happen except it was the other way around. Our sleeper cell was killed. :(

I gave you 66 beans for identifying the obvious, and the rest of the can for your interesting name. If only an avatar existed for such a name...
