Does anyone know why leaderboards is disabled?
dargish@gmail.com replied to feffez's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I've been alive 70 days, I'm literally just waiting for the leaderboards to come up so I can check how many hours my characters actually been alive. That may be sad but what else do I have to work towards when I have all the best gear? Bring back the leaderboards so I can check and let this old veteran die and start off afresh! -
Steam Install - Reinstalled windows, wrong CD key
dargish@gmail.com replied to dargish@gmail.com's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Okay I seem to have resolved this, there may have been an easier way to do it but the steps I took were these: 1: Close Steam and move the arma 2 and arma 2 oa folders out of the steam common folder and also remove the three .ncf files from the steamapps folder. 2: Restart Steam, Arma 2 and OA will appear as uninstalled. Now while steam is open copy the large data folders back into their respective locations. For Arma 2 I only copied the AddOns folder and the DirectX folder back into steam. For OA I moved the DirectX, Common and Expansions/AddOns folders back in. 3: Install Arma 2 then OA in steam. This will see the local files and avoid having to download the vast majority of the game files. 4: Run Arma 2 then run OA then install the beta. That's as far as I've gotten right now, going to give DayZ a try and hope for the best. I wasn't even able to install the beta before so it's looking good. -
Steam Install - Reinstalled windows, wrong CD key
dargish@gmail.com posted a topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Hi all, I have the steam install of both Arma2 and Arma2: OA. I recently bought an SSD to use as my main drive so reinstalled windows onto it from a fresh format. My steam directory was on a separate drive so was unaffected. However Arma2 for some reason requires that its key be stored in the windows registry (which seems to go against the whole idea of Steam but nevermind) and of course it's not there so I can't play DayZ or even update to the latest Arma2 beta. I've run the verify integrity check in steam and it came up saying one file was missing and it's re-acquiring, that didn't do any good, still no registry entry for it. My question is mainly this, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to reinstall Arma2 completely, is there any way I can get it working without having to do this? And if I do have to do this is there any way of ensuring I don't need to download 8gb of data again as that would take all day on my connection. Thankyou! Darg -

Tape #11: 05-21-2012
dargish@gmail.com replied to Isaac (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Very well done, captures the atmosphere of the game perfectly. Would be great to hear a couple more, maybe a series of his tapes as he moves inland. A trail of them in the game at the places he's visited, hints of where to look next maybe that will draw players in land to find them. Could be a good way of getting people off the coast if there are a couple of different trails like this. -

Talking of knee capping, the first thing I wanted to try when I heard about breakable bones in this mod was to snipe someones legs out and then laugh as I watch them try to struggle to cover before finally finishing them off. Yet to actually turn completely to the dark side, I killed two survivors today though and I can feel it drawing me in.

Message from a survivor:
dargish@gmail.com replied to Eliotxf1's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Simple rule is to always kill bandits on sight. Hell I kill everyone on sight, just ask my teammates I was with today, shot two guys who might well have been entirely innocent just incase, they had their guns up and might have shot me at any moment, that's enough reason for me to take them out. You don't survive for long if you don't kill a few people. -

Oh dear, so many mistakes in that video, ignoring shots to your right, stopping in the middle of the road, going prone out of cover, not taking shots when your friend was firing too, not taking out the zombie before it reached your friend and finally reloading after just two shots on a 10 magazine rifle.
