Is that on purpose? Seems like a bug as when I loot with the M16A4 Acog I zoom out like normal and when I'm done looting it goes back to the close up zoom. Very annoying :(

Thanks mate, after a couple more hours searching I actually found one south of Gorka. Didn't have a ghillie but did have a MK 48 Mod 0 in it :) I dumped a lot of excess, put my M16A4 Acog in my backpack and am running around with 300 rounds of death now :) Damn thing is loud as hell though 1 shot and more than two dozen zeds come running my way. Went looking for another hour for a heli around Gorka but had no luck. At least I found 1 in about 10 hours of searching though. I really need to find a bike to make this a bit quicker. Set up camp in Berezino and going to run through the apartments tomorrow. I hear there's a chance the ghillie spawns in residential areas so worth a shot. Cheers.

So I took the advice here and spent about 3 hours running around NW airfield and starry in the fields. Made a loop like this on 3 different servers at night with nightvision on. Not a single helicopter spotted. I'm starting to think I either have horrible luck or they don't exist and people are trolling when they say they found 3 side by side >_>

Sorry I haven't had a chance to install Teamspeak. After being on the phone all day with end users trying to fix computer problems the last thing I want to do is go home and put a headset back on >_>

And I told you, that never works for me. Sorry you lose good day sir. Get your beans from someone else.

My Documents > Arma 2 > ArmA2OA.cfg

I notice some servers I join the zombies can spot me at night while I'm crouch WALKING from a mile away. No I'm not exaggerating. Are there servers out there that modify how well zombies see you? I was just on one where I was crawling on one of the airfields at night with only 1 sound bar and 0 vision bars. 3 zombies saw me from quite a distance, ran to me, knocked me unconscious, and feasted on my entrails.

I don't know the default difficulty, yes I'm updated.

That never worked, changing the arma2 config file did though

you rock thank you

Having this same problem. Going to try updating. Was playing fine about 8 hours ago now it takes a good 10 minutes just to load my character (I'm on the beach... fun) and it's so laggy I can't even move my mouse.

Nobody knows?

Hackers do it just for fun knowing you have to wait to bleed to death

Every server I know I can live for about half hour... Just enough time to gather enough to head away from the coast and then bam. Everyone on the server is killed. Switch servers and it's the same story.

* [FIXED] Ammunition amounts not loaded in properly (Now records used ammunition correctly) I assume this means your mags with 1 round will no longer recharge to 30 when you exit/relaunch but does this also fix the "Convert to revolver" "Convert to M1911" glitch?

Sorry another noob question. I read you press W twice to sprint. I do that and don't run any faster than if I just hold W. Is there a trick to it or am I just that bad at this game?

Every single person on the server died at the exact same time... What's the freaking point of playing? When you finally get a bunch of good stuff you just freaking die from freaking cheaters and innocent people are being banned. What a load of horse shit.

Is this some sort of hack? I died, respawned, and was looking up at the sky as birds were flying. I was unable to move, I had the broken bone status symbol, I was unconscious and bleeding. The timer was not moving and I had to sit there for 10 minutes while I bled out and eventually died. Respawned and was able to run around as normal. Also to note on the same server someone was firing an AK for about 20 minutes. I would hear him fire 10-15 rounds, reload, then another 10-15 rounds. Over and over and over. I was crawling around on a hill at elektro trying to find the source of the shots but couldn't. Then my screen went grey and I flew up in the air dead and landed in the forest far away from the town. Same guy hacking?

I guess I got accepted? Not sure. What do I do next?

Was doing pretty amazing. Found some really incredible weapons, had a 16 slot backpack, had it full of meat and medicine and canteens... Found a tractor and thought oh this is cool let's see how this thing works! It blew up and killed me. No warning just boom. I'm depressed now :( Why don't they warn you that vehicles will make you die? I would have been happy without the tractor I thought hey it's a new aspect of the game I get to experience. Sad face.

IT WAS!!! UGH! It's cursed :(

Alright had a free moment to send off an app. Let me know what to do next. I'll get home about 7PM CST tonight and will probably be on Dayz till 10-11 or so :)

If you have a map, you can find forest as it's dark green (that's what I had to do) so go to the dark green area, stand next to a tree, open inventory, make sure you have 2 open slots in your bag (where sodas and beans go), right click the axe and harvest wood. you can then right click the wood and put down the campfire then you can mousewheel the campfire to light it to cook your food

Uh you gotta admit with all the trolls out there posting youtube videos of how to mess with newbs he had no reason to trust you. You could have brought him to the middle of nowhere, cripped him, and laughed as he had to wait to starve to death. It's too hard to figure out people's motives in this game. Every act of kindness I've seen in this game has led to just getting your guard down for the eventual and inevitable betrayal.

This thread reminds me a lot of playing on PVP servers in WoW Sometimes you help a newbie out and they thank you. Sometimes they pretend to thank you just to buy enough time for their friend to come molest you. It's a game of chance and how you feel like playing the game. I tell you one thing. I've been murdered so many times and lost so much good stuff that I'm pretty twitchy now. I've only played the game for like 2 days now and am already in the "shoot first ask questions never" mentality. I've got a 16 item backpack, several canteens, lots of cooked meat, blood bags, and a tent. There's a difference between someone who kills freshly spawned players on the beach for fun and someone who just wants to protect his loot. There's a lot of people out there who would see the backpack I'm carrying and use that as enough justification to put a bullet through my brain. Never underestimate the power of human greed and never trust anyone even those you know IRL. Otherwise you'll end up on the beach as a new spawn sooner rather than later.
