You need fuel and fuel tank parts

When they remove rain from the real world, I want it out of this mod too.. until then.. let it rain

Maybe the canned food should not go bad, because they are canned for that purpose.. but perhaps the cooked meat should go bad after a few days in the backpack or pocket..

I think it is already an upcoming feature, since the leaderboard had player ID's linked to a specific page, which was still under development (before the leaderboard was taken offline for maintenance)

Check your gear and if you can not see a map in there, you need to find one first. You don't start with a map.

Hey, check this out! :idea:

Have you tried joining in another server? Do you spawn in the wilderness on every server?

I believe it's because of some unoptimized stuff in the DayZ code and it should be (at least partially) fixed in the upcoming version of the DayZ code. I've had similar performance issues and lowering the graphics settings has had a very little effect on the fps.

Or keep the gear window open and keep clicking 'pitch tent' while you walk around a suitable area.

There is no single player in DayZ. It is a multiplayer game mod with centralized server system to save profiles and other data so you need to join in one of the DayZ servers to play. That's where the zombies are.

I think this thread has some interesting ideas and therefore it should be in the suggestions section, not in the new player discussion. As have been said before, some of the current items are probably just placeholders because this mod is still in so early stage, that the main focus of the development is still on the game mechanics and big bug squashing.

Full 50 player servers tend to have roughly 700-1000 zeds wobbling around the Chernarus.. and when a player moves closer to something important/interesting, zeds (and loot) will spawn there. Now think about having 100 players on a server.. there would be 1500+ zeds + other stuff that server has to track. As it is now, servers are barely managing smoothly those 50 players + zeds + loot + other stuff, but without further optimization of the server and client side codes I would not want to play on those 100 player servers. The lag would be horrible. On the other hand I think it would be nice to have larger player caps on servers but that will probably come later as the mod evolves.

I had the same 'issue' earlier today. However, after searching from this forum I found a tip that you should keep the gear window open and slowly move forward while clicking "pitch tent".. Using that method it took me like 2 seconds to finally find a suitable spot for my tent.

Only "global" chat that I think would work in DayZ is some kind of short range radio.. or walkie talkie. It should be a relatively rare loot (not found in every house/barn/shed) and it should have a maximum range of let's say 3-5 kilometers (this could depend on the terrain). If the signal is weak the text and/or voice chat could be slightly scrambled.. and if the signal is clear then it would indicate that the person communicating could be near. Perhaps there could even be various frequecies or channels too..

1.7.1.5 has plenty of food available as loot.. and I'd suggest hunting some game and cooking your own meat.. it's delicious and very good for your blood level too :)

That flashlight headgear, or headlamp, sounds very good idea to me. It could be equipped in the NVG slot and headlamps should be far more common than NVG's.. obviously

You are stuck in so-called debug area. To fix the situation, you need to download and install the latest Beta patch for ArmA 2. Just download the zip file from the top of that page and extract and run the .exe file from it. Just click yes until it is finished and it says it's installed succesfully. After this, there should be a shortcut called "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" in your ArmA 2 installation folder. Just add the -mod=@DayZ in the end of the target of that shortcut and run it. There are many threads about how to install the beta patch by other means, for example, with Six Updater. I'd suggest using the Search with keywords "beta patch"

I HAVE FLARES IN MY BACKPACK! What the fuck are they doing there if I can't use them? You can't use items directly from your backpack, you need to switch them to your 'main' inventory first.

There is no 1.7 version of the ARMA 2 OA/CO yet, only 1.60 and the beta patches. You can obtain DayZ code version 1.7.0 from here. I recommend using that Worrom's DayZ Updater to install/update the mod. The number in the bottom right corner of the main menu is the ARMA 2 version, not the DayZ.

That, or there could be some kind of "cooldown" period for joining a server after you've disconnected from another server. Maybe something like 5 minutes would be enough. I think this could be quite easily implemented since every player needs to load the profile data from the main server..

Thank you! Finally I can connect and play! :cool:

So, you made another thread for this.. well then, here's copy of my post to the previous one: Since the forum has been rolled back several weeks, here is what has happened to me so far: On last saturday (June 2) I was at the Devil's Castle where I found a camo suit. I put it on and soon after that I decided to do something else and logged out. On the next day when I wanted to continue, I logged in and I found myself swimming in the ocean. I tried other servers too but every time I was swimming again. I reported my situation in the forum reporting topic (that's now gone, obviously) and Vipeax 'fixed' my situation quite fast. However after that 'fix' I started to get the message "This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. You cannot play on this server. If you are the server admin please contact DayZ staff." on every server I was able to join. I was using DayZ code 1.7.0 and I get the same error message in almost every server I can join. I've tried with and without the beta patch, without luck. On some very rare occasions I may get the "Retrying to authenticate" message. I've tried fresh DayZ install by removing the @DayZ folder and making a new one with the DayZ Updater. I've been trying with DayZ code 1.6.0.1 too, but that gets me only in the debug forest without any of the DayZ hud stuff to the right side of the screen (Debug monitor, thirst, blood, etc.). Once I have managed to spawn as a bird flying over vast desert.. It's now day 8 without DayZ. I think there is something corrupted in the main database, which prevents some of us to play, because this issue emerged when Vipeax fixed the spawn issue. My Player ID is 1299521 just in case someone would check the data for errors or something
