Turk (DayZ)

To know exactly how the mechs work would ruin half the fun of learning and making mistakes. -"You can hide from an infected chasing you" -"Infected can't see through objects any more" (Line Of Sight blocked) -"Infected visibility increased (but limited by LOS)" I think that says it all realy. More sneaky fun.

Exactly' date=' cooperation through hardship. [/quote'] After finding a ghillie suit I was spawned in the sea on next log in, I managed to swim to shore (after pushing cardboard to keep W key down whilst I watched YT) 20 mins later I'm at a beach, I assume far west of the map (no trees nothinbg except a pig on the beach (out at sea i thought it a house.!!) I'm freezing, i have nothing except ghillie (my decision to keep playing btw) completely empty ALICE pack but i've kept matchsticks, hunting knife (couldn't kill pig pff), hatchet and watch. I run West and quickly find the first set of trees = to a forest and hastily make 7 or so fires close to the road so as to warm up but also so others spawned in the sea will be able to see them and also warm up if not a lucky as I. I now need water & food though I had eaten steaks and drunk lots before exiting the game 3 or so hours earlier. I run West hoping to find a dead survivor, nothing, so continue to the nearest town and find nothing there after 2 or 3 sheds, a house, a small garage shop and train station) the games trolling me big time. I continue a little west toward a big hill suddenly the green compass appears beneath my water bottle and food UI (a bug) but this tells me North. So I'm off hoping to find Bop and its surrounding goodies with intention to find zelero. After 5 mins or so my water indicator begins to flash, couple more mins i'm in a small town, i check net map and know there is a well (cheat). I find it but have yet to find a water bottle so i continue out of town the very last house i am able to search has 1 banadage AND an empty water bottle. RESULT! Back to pump. slurp slurp. I later find zelero, finally get all necessities back, kill a cow, find a bike, find a jeep that needs repairing and begin discusing with others what is needed etc and basically have the best damn time in the game ever. (which was ruined due to a random bug that kills me at the top of a huge tower, not sure exactly how it happened but i know it was bs :D 4 days gone on a bug, hopefully its fixed in 1.7.1) Basically saying the idea of little or no items can be awesome IF its either an option on EXTREME veteran servers or the game is optimized for it, i got lucky (ish) but i can see it being friggin annoying as all hell after the 3rd or 4th attempt, 5 hours later and die again due to lack of items RAGE QUIT. As for bringing others together, I think local area voice chat and or the ability to direct chat (right clicking on them , voice bubbles above you :) (maybe not that.)) to another would be far more effective. Maybe a sneak up and ambush/disarm mechanic so at least you can be robbed but not killed or use it to disarm another to safely talk then return weapons.

YES ! Being hit / seen though walls was possibly my biggest bugbear, second was not being able to lose a chasing zed eg rode a bike from zeleno to the coast and back and still chased by zeds only fix was to quit out. the rest of the changelog is obviously also great news. I don't see a fix for animals to be gutted disappering too soon, hopefully its covered by the samer thing as survivors. Now i can play again as i had put the game down a week ago until fixes.

Quick edit. I think I get what you are saying. For those who don't own OA there would be for eg an update for purely ArmA2 free and OA? Yet this is where i'm stumped why would those who own OA need the ArmA2 beta patch to instal as its included in the OA update. Thats why I asked if someone could confirm. No disrespect but a mod or admin actually in the know. Then again maybe it is intended to be ambiguous until a more spectacular announcement? :P:s

But it dosen't read that way.

This reads as if 1.7.0 Dayz patch is to be classed as beta, especially witjh it being headed as "Major Update" unless its a typo and meaning the upcoming ARMA2 beta patch 1.61. I'm assuming it is but it dosen't read that way. Can this be clarafied?

Would be nice to know how to these :- Using hatchet, hunting knife and skinning animals, cooking, matches/fire wood (hatchet to get wood). Also vehicle commands. yet to see 1 but i'd hate to not fix it cos of not knowing which button to press.

WORKING NOW - note different 1.60 version/updates. make sure yours is:- A2 Op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 1.60.0.87580 I reapplied a 1.60 update and it has 'fixed' the error. I must have first applied a slightly older build, I used the op's recommended update link here. Current version = A2 Op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 1.60.0.87580 Previous version = A2 Op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 1.60.0.86882 I thought i had accidentaly downloaded the beta build but no. I have this same exact problem. I recomend you try the instructions here http://i2.lulzimg.com/b80acad793.jpg (if you have a retail / non steam version. Much eaiser.

"You were kicked off the game (BattleEye Uknown Game Version)" I have just bought Combined Ops & followed the retail instal instructions. Everything launches fine. I have game version 1.60 and the current dayZ mod (ie the icon is green in Six Updater.) Reading at the bottom of Six Updater is "A2 Op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 1.60.0.86882" Upon joining any server i see the landscape and then I am instantly "kicked" "You were kicked off the game (BattleEye Uknown Game Version)" I have run both "ARMAII" & "ARMA 2 Combined Operations" shorcuts to launch the game. The FULL instructons I have followed are in the image below. I used NON STEAM USERS instructions (recommended for the game version I have. (U.S. Amazon $15 (50% off)) Any help much appreciated.

WORKING NOW Reapplied another 1.60 update and it has been 'fixed' so i must have had a slightly older build. Current version = A2 Op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 1.60.0.87580 Previous version = A2 Op. Arrowhead (Combined Ops) 1.60.0.86882 I thought i had accidentaly downloaded the beta build but no. Thanks for suggestion.
