Seattle

i was banned from combat arms when it first came out, i had killed a guy and he dropped a black, scar i think it was, of course dropping your main arm was a mechanic of the game at the time. i had played ...oh 3 matches by this time i grabbed it thought to myself cool gun. and started using it, well some crybaby complained on the forums and i ended u banned. i didnt use a script to spawn it but i sure got raped for it. and guess what? me and the clan folks i was with at the time never played combat arms after that day. if i saw you or was killed by you with a hacked in weapon, i would ban you on my server and let you complain to someone else, its my money i pay to LET dayz be tested. im not wasting my money or time on maybes or "but i just found it on a dead guy" if thats wrong and against some rules then i question the rules as being favorable to hackers. and thats a no sale for me. and most likely a lot of other people sick and fucking tired of goin gon the server and seeing a city on fire and cows flying around and getting tele raped by some child minded dbag. but thats what i would do. i have had only one complaint out of 15 or so people banned, and that guy was spawning helos into the game and had the gumption to email me and say it was a atv and th logs are using the wrong wording. i said you can take it up with team rocket. and left it at that. my servers not blacklisted, as far as i can tell, so meh. moral is dont pick it up if you think its a naughty naughty then bury it on a zed. if you run across people afk and you goto kill them and cant loot them and bury it on a zed. it really pisses em off, and with the logs and other anti chats recently, things get picked up and people get banned. see thay have to respawn all that nice gear, the nvgs and ammo and such. and since they spawned it on another serv er....well the logs they may pick it up and may auto kick em. ' what i hate is in my server files i keep getting skins of axe dentist and a sound file folder with stupid old games sounds in it. totally dont sound like stero in game sounds. you just cant win with this mod. dont use the weapons bury em strip afk d bags if you cant kill em, and dont take any...."hurpa its a camo skin glitch makes me super man" coz the guy next to them is in a regular skin and takes 50 hatchet hits to the head body legs head and 4 clips of 45 cal to the head and its acamo skin glitch roflmfao.

congratz youve downloaded a murdersim populated by skiddies and social misfits that think dayz means kill on sight fuk all else. have fun dying dying dying and when you do manage to grab some gear and make your way north youll die again. see they are in the skies watching you, the birds man they follow you. or the cows they will talk to you. or some dipshit will drop you from 100 feet in the sir and you will spend two whole days stuck in a coma wishing you jad never downlaoded the game. but the mods free, you may end up finding other arma2 mods much more fun. the core ideas nehing dayz were great, the first couple of months were awesome. but sadly its deevolved into a spawn, murder as many people as possible die re spawn rinse and repeat. it lacks any kind of um.... fun factor after a week. dont know what plans are in store for the future but i much more enjoyed the game a couple months ago. now its die by super mike tyson carl lewis zombies. cant raid the good areas, too many glitches from the additional crap they put in. cant keep your tents cant keep a vehicle. half the time you may spawn as far north as possible were you logged off, the rest on the beach and maybe youll still have gear. it started out great, the mods steadly went downhill. but thats my opinion, other people love the game they are bandits they just kill everyone whos new until everyone else starts killing on sight. theres not much point in doing anything but murder the first person you see and each one after that. have fun! i will play until the server rental contract expires and hopefully some other game catches my eye, i still havent played dead space 2.

sorry to interrupt this engaging session of experts discuss thier opinions. i actually have a question. what are the latest builds or files i would want to run on our server? i see this: Dayz 1.7.2.5 / HIVE 0.7.3 / 95948 Beta Patch / Battleye Latest Patch 8/14/12 LATEST available in our servers cp. we are running : (v1.7.2.5/Beta 95883) do i need a arma update to 95948? and install the server update? do i need any other files like in the original op? thank you for any help rendered.

my server i havent seen a chopper wreck a chopper a car a truck a bike, i did find a couple boats. no vehickes in known spots. i fear some corrupted scripts from a script injected into our servers, sadly im still learning whats what with server logs.

Thanks for the heads up. people always want to be anon d bags for the lulz. sheesh. anything that helps keep skiddies under the foot is great news and welcome on my HFB hosted server. as it stands i think my server is still having issues with vehicle spawns and loot spawns as they dont seem to be happening.

confirmed and i read the topic title and came here to say the same thing. also if you want to put stuff straight into your pack, look at the gear on the ground then open your inventory, goto your bag and open it ti should look different and show you how many slots are left just like in your pockets. you will see the items on the floor and can add them straight to your pack instead of picking them up and maybe shuffling stuff around from your pockets into your bag.......then picking the rest of the stuff up and more re arranging........ but do empty your pack you are wearing first either into your pockets or into the other pack or onto the ground. remember packs will lose items if they are full and you add more stuff. and you can lose everything out of you pockets, and your pack too. i seem to think its in heavier waters you lose the pack and stuff. deeper east shore waters seem to roll more than the south beach waters do. or maybe thats just me i live near the sea so i unno i boat a lot too, wish there were more boats in dayz more types maybe a jet ski or speedboat, or even larger craft, a landing craft would be awesome. and on the sea note a carrier to explore fight army zombies and loot some milspec stuff? something out of sight and takes a lot of gas like a one way half way there point of no return trip. or else your in for the swim of your life and sick as a dog and gearless, or you raid that ship. sorry for the tangent i live in seattle, we have a HUGE naval yard across the sound, it has a lot of ships tied together a LOT, my friends and i always thought seattle would make a great area for a zombie movie, we got cities, we got wildserness, and to be honest this games map looks a lot like the coiuntry side around here, and the rain, lol its like playing in the woods as a kid again. with zombies! im waiting for valve to make l4d3 in seattle, i mean they used psrt of our underground for l4d2...sigh. on topic, careful with your bags. and if you see a czech vest keep away from it tis smaller than your starting bag and for some reason eats everything you put into it, mine did.

i think you should just try to find the "apply for a server here" topic and read it or a server hosting rules topic. you might find links to the proper pages to do what you are wishing. good luck!

ive used hfb, and only hfb for dayz. i had what in my opinion were silly issues created by multiple launchers and installers and files etc. i wish i found out siz updater was nuking my update and reverting the files. before i started updating.but once i was explained what issues were dayz and which were server. my interactions with both hfb and dayz support were excellent in the end even though i acted like a entitled douche a bit, they were implicitly polite, and more than willing to look into the issues as i encountered them and gave me the proper instructions to put everything everywhere. who cares if they are reselling servers? thats the whole point of server farms so people will resell them......fking people man get real. you think go daddy started with a giant server wherehouse full of racks and techs 24/7? fking get a clue. mostly towards the banned troll who of course will still lurk these boards like a good troll does. piss off anti social fool. so people going about . i hear this host has better service is butthurt because they didnt get immediate service and a fix or the issues THEY think are all consuming and important much more than the other 237 tickets posted well before they decided to log on the cp. i have extremely high standards for customer service. granted the first interactions may have been rushed and not addressing the issues to my desire, but when i let them know that we pay and havent been playing for xxx reason they stepped up and fixed the shit. i appreciated the help they gave and the personal touch. is a nice contrast to the game world. so individual experiences may vary, but i was always taught you get out what you put into it, treat people like you want to be treated,you catch more flys with honey then vinegar. you want good customer service dont act like a entitled d bag, (disclaimer im not pointing my 1911 at anyone but you know who you are if you look in the mirror) type your issues clearly, with as much data or info as you can. dates times, machine specs etc. say please and thank you. not "hi thanks for choosing taco hell, what can i get started for you today? did you hapen to catch our daily special? butthole burners are 12 for 7 right now!.......please order when you are ready ;) " " gimmie 2 dozen asshole fire eaters and two large cokes!" "ok repeats order...and will ther be anything else today? your total is.....please pull forw...." "*engine rev sounds getting quieter" :ok how are you doing today?" "can i get extra hot spice with those and some napkins you never give me enough napkins with all this greezy food you serve" "um ok sir heres you go and have a great afternoon!" "*engine sounds dinimishing* now come on folks. anyone of us who has had to work at anywhere dealing with people in the food or service or retail industries, fking KNOWS people are assholes for no reason. now how about giving the people who are actually providing a place to survive, or the very application you are trying to survive on a thank you instead of a fuck you?

if it walks like a zombie, and it talks like a zombie, and it smells like a zombie......

so hypothectically.. replace zombies with ....... infected chimps, i mean its not a streatch to visualize those hoppers lol, replace the skin, make the arms longer and then they can swing thru the trees ahead of you to block you off. zombie chimps? did i say zombie? no i said infected. or make them elk deer giraffes, aliens, mobile gelentous cubes ffs. shimmering sparkle were pigs. does it still matter to the core of the game? day Z its zombies, zombies zombies. zombies are infecteds. infecteds are zombies. brains fried, rage and eating flesh or protien the most easily attainable source would be humans. they are the risen dead, recently expired. one is enraged and infects you.; beat you to a pulp and maybe in its fever burned out short circuiting brains its primal rage and basic need to feed due to massive expended energies..... the other is still infected and will infect you if bitten. they tend to be slower the longer they have been walking dead, but fresh ones seem to be still having the remaining synapses connected to enable the balance, i figure once the rot starts fluids fill the inner and outer ear thus making them stumble and shamble. they still have a need to eat, they will bite and beat you until your tenderized flesh is soft enough to render asunder and be shoved down a gullet, like marvel zombies a insane desire to always eat. but in marvels case eat like a boss. so unless you are talking bout a golem, which is more reanimated clay with the blessings of god etc. or even a frankenstien which os a over charge of at the time the newly discovered electricity and its resorative properties. apply current to cadaver see cadaver twitch though its heart is stopped as you can clearly see thru the hole we made in his side. or even the demonic fantasy zombie which is still a rotting meat bag. or the evil dead army of the reanimated dead. they are fucking zombies. infecteds are classified as the higher brain functions are irreversibly damaged. the stupor of wandering around with a blown fuse. then the rage as something move disturbing your stupor you must destroy it so you can go back to the calm stumble about walking into walls and off cliffs etc. its brains fried man, romero zombies brains are fried, frankenstiens brains are fried. golems have no brains mud and straw and holy relics, items, symbols. one last thing. its a zombie game man, or else it was and now it has evolved into a bandit game with zombies as a distraction. if the name changes to dayb with the "beta/alpha/what ever they decide to label it" or days or dayi or iday or vday or dayv for virus wouldnt surprise me. as if they aint zombies then why is it called dayz? if the man says infecteds and yet its a zombie survival sim....with infecteds then the accepted name should be zombies as obviously the man understands the difference yet still uses dayz and the term zombies. everyone elses OPINIONS mine included are moot. zombies are infected, infected are zombies. notice the leave out of voodu zombies, as they are not actually living dead but chemically altered and convinced they have died been buried and risen from the long sleep and should now do the priests bidding. not the same genre. but shares a striking similarity to movie and book zombies, the dead and rising from it part, the fried brains from drugs and potions and poisons, just enough left in the brain pan to hear and do the most basic and simple of tasks. so to sum it up, everyone is right and everyone wins TEH cokkie!!!11!1 now about those one hit knockout broken legs bleed out zzombies wtf i thought i was slightly faster how do they catch up and do that from behind? im running away any blow should be lessened as both objects are traveling at roughly the same speed in the same direction. oh and what ever you call them they arnt supposed to see me from behind in the dark. across the field roughly 200m away and come sprinting. totally breaks the immersion factor. that and the teleport thru walls and me and trees and then hitting from nowhere, and how almost everytime when i crouch to check a map, they spawn in packs right on top of me..... and watching a town from the hill thru glasses and seeing nothing for 5 minutes then jogging down and 20 zombies suddenly spawn around me ....remove them and let the players have full free roam add more enterable bldgs and let peopel DM the apoc away. as the zombies as they stand are broken to what ever infected or zombie cannon ofiction known. of course if they are phantasms that are phasing thru us and the walls, then call it dayp please lol jk

interesting convo folks. does anyone know of a ...say example list of common cheats and what they look like n which log? i have seen several different examples but it would be nice for people newer to arma or hosting dayz to have a sticky thats updated to compare our logs with... is there one? as if i knew exactly what im supposed to be looking for, i would spend less tiem online searching if such and such was cheating, and more time banning cheaters. im 90% positive my server is being used by a group... i found 5 of them in a church backyard all face to the wall and i filled heads with leaqd, i chopped knees until my arms hurt, then i shot them pointblank in the side of the head, chopped with htchet too many times to count. looted em and put it all on a dead zed, hid the zed kept the nvgs and range finder, all those pretty rifles and all that nato ammo. all those morphines and epi pens and the 5 anti biotics i kept 2. i even took the toolbelt stuff and buried it with the dead zombie. then i grabbed uids and kick banned. but they come back. again and again. finally i just stop the server and goto bed.. next day i finally manage to get these new scripts and files onto my server and they hac=vent come back, id be pissed to come back from afk to find my self weapon and gearless in the middle of cherno along with my 4 buddies. well now im sure that the birds they follow me. the zombies one hit and knock out and break bones. the ones in the blue overcoats seems the others are faster then me too as they keep hitting me in the back when im running, but the birds,they swoop and squawk and keepo circling above me where ever i go. also i cant find anything in known vehicle spawns excpet blown up vehicles, no cars trucks helos etc. just boats. havent seen a bike or a atv or a car or truck in a long time. sigh if there is anyone "pro style" admin that would like to take questions or look at my logs or tell me specifically what to do and where to write a line to exclude these pukes from jumping on my server, i got serial killer skin and audio files i cant even delete from my server cfg....lol anyone please help?

sadly i cannot, the server cp is not giving that option or any options at all, i will make a ticket asking them to remove it i guess. thanky ou for the info. everyone is fresh off the boat one time.

thank you! i think i knew that, but ive read so much today and so many forums and files and scripts my eyes and brain needed confirmation. also i didnt get what you said about player skins...? surely this isnt supposed to be in dayz? yet? and these are also in the same folder.... these cant be supposed to be in there right? the sounds come from that you tube video where the guys hiding then killing people he has scared with these sounds. i can delete these? and will the new log files catch this type of stuff out?

will these files, block stuff like the dentist or seagulls? and there shouldnt be a skin texture file on my server files with the jason mask should there? and a sound file with silent hill siren and chain saw and unter sounds lol, my servers screwed isnt it? create the files that dont have a file in the server right? put the txt files into the server cfg right? im new to all this. i am looking threu the lgos i have already seen so many of the same confirmed cheats.....sigh, today i saw seaguls, everywhere i went. and the zombies on our server see us from way too far away, like really really reallly far away. and they one hit knock out and break bones, what gives what file should i look for to tone the zombies down?

green mountain? its easily avoidable, you can go around sit ro skim the treeline around it. i have heard tell of strange radio signals coming form there. i have been there one time. i died. the bodies so many bodies, and such carnage and damage. this wasent th enormal day z bodies and wrockage this was something evil. its too quiet there as if the birds dont even one hit zombies break your bones and knock you down. and thr writings on the wal...*shivers* i went in the high noon daylight. the trees they swallow the light, and i swear to god the whole time i was followed. and not in t slenderman kind of way, im talking i felt like i was being watched. and i swear the path i followed up, was not there when i was trying to escape. sooo many bodies.........i find no need to ever go back. not even with a group at night fully kitted... ill pass thank you id rather run around cherno with a road flare in each hand in the night screaming "here to me my pretties to me!!!!!!!"

oh man i love this topic. my second spawn. i was north north west of cherno in a barn outside of koslova or w/e, i was there for water and loot. i had a hatchet. and what i thought at the time was a decent kit. can of food, soda water bottle, toolbox combat knife bandages, painkillers heatpack chem lights in 3 colors and road flares a SMOKE GRENADE! imsure i had a couple more things like a empty bottle and several kinds of ammo in case i find a gun. so i go into this barn...i go up this srair thing. i go up another srair thing, holy smokes its a rifle a lee enfield, AND ammo. im so happy, i turn sround and see 3 zombies kinda haning out slowly coming up the stairs. i start shooting and moving....right off the edge and into a knocket out state bleeding and broken and still 1 zombie and no more ammo. was the evening time, getting dark. i lost a lot of blood. hatcheyed the last zombie bandage myself and start crawling towards the coast. i hit cherno. now mind you ive never been in cherno nor do i know at the time what a hospital looks like. but thru the fields i crawled with 2000 health or so. passing out. shaking, black and white. i stop and look over the few bldgs i can see. i see a ladder or two thinking i can pull myself u and see things better from a higher vantage.... so amazingly i climb for a bit and end up on top of a good sized bldg with a bunch of junk and pallets and what looks like boxes....i crawl over to a box and its freeking med supplies!!!!! holy sokes BLOODBAGS! epi pens? bandaids and painkillers galore, i drop all the crap and stock up on meds. i shoot myself with some morphine and a shot of a epipen. or tried i forget i did realize it didnt do anything for the shakes, i try a blood bag hmmm nothing. i alt tab and i finally break down and look up how to replace blood in dayz, and find out food (i knew) didnt know i could hunt. or a blood transfusion. from another P L A Y E R. well i alt back to the game. look around find the water, and decide that church looking bldg might be a good place i recall churches having loot. and i duck dodge and make my way there. didnt encounter or alert a single zombie or player. i go inside the church, feeling like a boss, and i find a 1911 and some mags, i find a MAP yessss! and then i find some food and sodas, im good to go right im out of there headed to the water and then east........look at my map make my bearings.....and go back to game, only to see some greenhaired monster creeping in the dorrs lift a crazy looking space riles thing and blows me away. so i didnt crawl as far as some, but i was so new to the game, the discovery and murder (my first spawn was in kosovo or w/e and i ran right into the town and really didnt think the zombies were that bad or that having no weapon would get me killed in a house like that, when they didnt even knock a few times before busting thru the two doors im behind bleeding and scared. i didnt live long past gearing up with a med kit. i learned so many lessons that first play through. Dont feed the zombies! dont talk to the zombies! dont look at the zombies ! dont touch them, dont make noises around them,just fking avoid them. find a hatchet! find bandages! find food and drink! dont swim stuff floats away from you! dont alert the zombies! they never stop chasing you down the beach road train tracks! head for the hills zombies dont like hills, or bus shelters, OR DOCKS the stupid meatsacks plain dont like those docks they line up like dominos. dont walk off the third step it will break a leg just like your parents always told you, "dont jump off the stairs!" you can crawl faster sideways crab style and also, rolling makes you dizzy and give you a headache. passing out right as you crouch stand with a broken leg to kill a zombie you hope has food..... not good when you are low on blood. avoid zombies or distract them with flares. stay the hell out of out houses. you cant fit inside to hide. and the flimsy salt water laden air rotted door will break your leg. buzzing flies means lootable corpse. and the most important lesson. dont trust noone avoid strangers! and watch the towns from the treeline. youll find the impatient snipers fairly quickly they cant stand still for long. lol enjoy! i had a great time that night the first night i played.

edit, forums are acting up for me sry for the dbl post.

i agree, i had just spawned off the boat, and i was in komorovo, i can lose a crowd no problem, problem is one zombie i get hit one time broken leg blood loss knocked out. ok bandage and kill and crawl away, next zed? one hit bleeding and knocked out. one hit from a weakened human muscle sinew bone structure that isnt any stronger than mine is. im sorry a flailing nerve signal sputtering reanimated rotting thing shouldnt break a leg. at all. unless im prone and getting attacked. one hit from a zombie that spawned behind you shouldnt knock you out with a broke bone. one hit as you are running shouldnt cost half your blood before you can bandage it. yes it should in a hard mode. not on a regular mode. thats my opinion. and since this is a GAME it is supposed to have a lot of replayability. either you like the hard challenge ro your a skiddies or a skiddies friend whos tent you happen to loot and magically 2 minutes after ive killed your bandit ass youre fully geared and some how made it half way across the map in the same 2 minutes. if you expect peopel to purchase, play, tell a lot of friends about it so they purchase and play, then you gotta do something about the zombies. either we need a push back, or melee hit to keep them from causing 5000 blood loss in 2 hits, + the blood loss until you bandage. if they were tougher to kill, not a one hit from the hatchet say, which sometimes to be honest ive swung 10 times and still didnt hit the one right in front of me. if they hit a lot softer, didnt cause bleedign until a certain blood loss level, then it would be a bit more realistic. it should take a attack of 4 or more to cause you to bleed, and the hits shouldnt be so hard hitting. yes they are enreaged, but the body structure and lack of proper body functions = weaker creature. this isnt l4d with mutated super uber zombies. fucking crawler swiping me one time as i re load really cant even get enough momentum or power behind the swipe to break a bone. its the one thing i find takes me out of the immersion setting every time. im like great stoopid fuktard zombies are going to break my leg, and ill be knocked out now watch. and sure enough most of the time im right, ask my wife, ask my group.... im fine with the zeds being strong, in allright with being knocked out from a blow from behind. but not a broekn leg from one hit wtf. not bleed out from one hit either, its silly. make the zombies hits not cause a broken leg unless you are weak from blood loss. and make the hits cause less damage. and knock out hits shouldnt come from the first hit, or the second, or from ones you are facing. if we are going for sim here then lets get real eh?

i like the hero skin. it serves its purpose well. it shows newer people or neutral people that im not a bandit and hopefully they dont SoS. the shirt is distinct though, could use a camo shirt or OD tee. but it also makes a hero a target for bandits. as its likely a hero has better gear. hopefully things flesh out a bit in the near future, and the skins work out. i prefer knowing by sight if thats a d bag murderer or freshmeat off the boat or a likely person who might trade some meat for some morphine or ammo.

theres a arma update you need too, version 95883 the last i checked. and on our servers cp theres a bunch of battleye and dayz and arma beta files for a newer version. for days after using six launcher i finally bent and went to DayZ support. after several attempts we figured out six launcher is reverting the manual update back. but it wasent deleting or overwriting the update files so even trying to join a older working version sserver was a stuck on loading. waiting 2 hours on the loading didnt help. dont use six launcher. or day z commander. just launch it from the arma beta patch short cut in the arma add ons folder . use the multi player browser there. i havent had a hitch since. make sure you have both the arma2 beta udate, and the dayz uodate. i had to end up with a full uninstall>search>delete remnans>re download/install, re download dayz files, re dowload arma beta 95883, then put every thing in its place. then the server we rent was totally bonked and the wonderful guys and or gals at HFB servers fixed it up. so if you find when using six launcher you cant get into any games of old or new versions you might want to hit up dayz support with a ticket, they may have a little guide or some more detailed instructions then the community can give. good luck.

unless thats not your game path because you like many thousands of others bought it on steam and thus the path is different. not by much but still it may not be your path.

came to thread have nothing to add so ill insult the OP thats always good for lulz hurr hurr durr lulz

and if you have used six launcher after putting the torrent files into yoru add ons folder youre screwed as the six launcher nukes the add ons you added. reverting back to 1.2.7.4 but it dosent remove all the new version files. so you cant join a server even if you delete the new files, as six launcher duped them into another folder. the quickest way i was told is to do a total uninstall re install of arma 2 arma 2 oa, and day z and the arma beta 95883. and then make some folders put them here and there. and its supposed to work. im not going to do this its just not worth the trouble, if they cant make a simple exe installer for the updates, im not even going to take the time. nice app the six launcher, refreshes when ever it wants to, dosent save favorites, cant filter it, i dont know why it was suggested to use it when dayz commander is much better. but you dont need amy launcher or commander to play dayz, just launch arma2 co and nav thru the menu to multi player. screw these launchers and crap. ruined my game files six launcher did. shame on you six launcher shame! yes im frustrated, going on 3 days i cant play the game and thats one day from 3 days not being able to play as i was comatose on the beach from soem bug or another. oh did i mention im the server admin on duty this weekend? im really admining the hell out of our server ill tell ya. i dont get it? we pay to rent servers saving rocket the development money of hosting the game him self. we buy arma2 and arma2 co for the assests and so the game looks good, but the best areas are nuked by some graphics glitch. then theres the bypassed anti cheat client. totally worthless application if its so easily bypassed. and now i hear tell we all will have to pay again for the standalone. maybe not rockets friends and staff, but the rest of us that didnt jump on the wagon day 1 will be paying full price for a glorified HD version of this mod. is that turns out to be true, it might just piss a lot of people off. not me though, i would never let that piss me off. it would just be normal business practices, the fleecing of the sheeple. par for the course. but not something i want to pay for, pay for skifddies to ruin my server ina full pried standalone game? no stank you very much. and dont get me wrong here, i love dayz its a great mod. its got good atmosphere, and a huge area to explore. its just the players and the directiopn the mod is going that turns me off. and im not alone. but hey the other voice in my head is saying stfu and go fix your arma files so we can play dayz.....its a fight i fight every day in me head. to dayz or not to dayz, each day the not gets easier to listen to.

a clean death with a small 2 to 3 minute wait on the you are dead screen fixed it for me. but i was teleported to the beach and dropped a good distance and had broken legs and was in a coma, but i still had half my stuff. bleeding out would have been nice but it coagulated and stopped with 354 health left. leaving me on the beach until my hunger and thirst and i was with pneumonia and still for over 24 hrs logged in no death. i dotn know how it fixed itself. either game master. soemone who felt sorry for me, or just hunger and blood loss what ever did me in the next day i logged in and respawned elsewhere. now if i could have known not to use six updater to launch dayz thus nuking my arma 2 folders. i would be on the server right now. alas i cant even play.

i see the same thing in my steam files, theres 2 addons folder. on has slightly different .gz extensions and the other folder seems to have the current version of the pbo files from the torrent. so i dint know what thats all about, might be the issue if the manual files are going into the wrong steam folder. spme precise clarification would be nice. ive tried several things and still if i update the server with the provided filed from HFB servers, then manually put the torrented lastest files into the add ons folder and launch the game thru steam, from arma co from six w/e and even downloaded dayz commander, i cant join into any servers, or i get stuck on a loading screen. so i reverted our server to the old working version and now i cant join our own server. sigh, normally mods and popping files here and there is par for the course with a mod....but this is stupid silly shit. i know its not that hard to put everything into a simple installer. with over 1 million people downloaded this mod...not everyone is going to be arma2 mod pro. would be nice to let my server run the latest version, and be able to join it. i have searched and searched this forums. rocket or one of his minions needs to put up a proper install sticky. so people stop making threads like this and getting no help. sorry HFB dude your way didnt work for me or others. and we rent a HFB server. cant even load into the server we pay for *shakes head.*
