1-3, depending on their blood level.

Be careful, those things are notoriously easy to flip. I ruined three in the same day once. :| Drive slowly off-road and never drive on bridges or docks/wharves.

Can't stop coming back to this thread.

I got a good laugh out of this. I give you my beans.

I wouldn't have put it so bluntly, but this is the problem.

You really can't complain about a free mod you didn't pay for. And before someone says it, no, you didn't pay for DayZ, you paid for Arma 2.

The act of changing the setting seems to be what fixes the problem, not the actual choice of settings. Once you change something, just return to your preferred configuration.

Seems like an unfortunate coincidence more so than an issue with the game itself. I've never known anybody who had the short skin change cause them to lose a firefight. I doubt there's really any chance this would happen to you again any time soon.

What island? There's no island. I have no idea what you're talking about. You should leave.

I had a lot of fun running through all the training missions to learn how the system works. The campaigns are best played with friends, and those big town capture game modes (Civil war and Mountain Warfare I think) are pretty good. Just grab some people you know and screw around with it, most of it is pretty entertaining. Just be ready to deal with bugs, there's so many you'd swear Arma 2 was still in beta. Make sure you do everything through Operation Arrowhead, because you can play all the same things as in regular Arma 2 with the extra features.

I can usually fix it by changing the 3D resolution in my graphics settings to something different, then reverting back. I've also heard changing your video memory fixes it. If all else fails, restarting the game always seems to work.

Probably hacked. Unless you're just the first person ever to find one.

I would find it hard to believe that it would be considered abuse on the part of the admin, provided you had sufficient evidence. I don't speak for the DayZ team though, this is just my assumption.

Who are you directing the question at? What a server admin considers bannable and what the DayZ team considers bannable are two different things. Are you asking if it would be abusive to use administrative powers on a server to ban someone who did this?

OP is trolling.

I've had different experiences with the same problem, with three possible scenarios so far when loading into a server. Respawn on a random part of the coastline - All previous gear is retained Respawn on a random part of the coastline - Primary weapon, secondary weapon, all tools, and backpack (along with the contents) are missing. Anything stored in the main inventory or secondary inventory is retained. Load correctly, where I logged out, with all gear. In the second scenario, I'm not given any starting gear to replace my missing tools/backpack. (Flashlight, patrol pack, etc.) They all seem to occur in no particular pattern, at least not one I can determine. It's not gamebreaking for me, but it is annoying and inconvenient.

This is pretty funny.

Some friends and I are having this issue as well, although we seem to respawn in random locations (as with a new character) rather than a specific spot (i.e. Kamenka every time).

I live on the east coast (USA), getting a little tired of playing by myself. It's not my kind of thing to look for friends on a forum, but what the hell. I am decently geared. I have most basic tools, some nice weapons... (willing to share) Any number of people is fine. One, two... twenty. I'm capable of voice chat, though I don't mind if you are not. I'm relatively new, but I wouldn't call myself a noob. I learn fast and have done my research. If you intend to lead me into a spot so you can shoot me in the head and take my things, at least say something clever and entertaining when I get there. (Play an Admiral Ackbar sound file or something) Contact me on steam or xfire, my name should be Xucphra or xucphra100 for either one. Thanks

@edjpa I don't use skype. Wouldn't there be a ping problem for one of us if we tried to play on the same server?

If you weren't in such a sorry state, or if you were armed he probably would've shot you.

What happened to your friend after you died? Nevermind, can't read instructions. Looks suspicious
