The problem with consoles is they rely on peer to peer connections for online gaming. Not to many platforms use dedicated servers on the console gaming market. How many times you "WTF" when the host quits your Black Ops game? or any other game to speak of? Those games that did not rely on the peer to peer networks ( M.A.G. for example) were in the few. So games such as Dayz and all E.A. Games are too structured (some would say controlling) to leave the control into the power of the players and lets not mention the "limitations" you would encounter. Not saying the next generation consoles are going to be weak by any means, but other things will factor into the multiplayer aspect, the main one which is always, when it comes to online, the hosts ISP. Doesn't matter how fast the rig or console is, if the internet connection is crap on a peer to peer, which is what you get on consoles.

Google Arma 2 and Ramdisk... Problem solved.

Have you been in a real survival situation ever? In the military every? Boyscouts? Camping? Watch Survivorman? Bear Grylls? Damn kids these days. Listen up and listen good. You want and need other people around you. Seal Team 6. Rangers. Special Forces. Teamwork is key. You want to survive as loner? You think killing others is how you going to make it through any survival situation? Too much television. Too many video games. The world isn't call of Duty Black Ops. Reality. Take a bite. One also needs to take into account that just because you say you would kill someone to survive does not mean you actually will do it once the situation arrives.

ROFL. Some peoples kids. Keyboard warriors. Anyhows. What I was getting at is how new the game felt when I first played it. It was a different type of game play. I different type of game. Not the run and gun. Then couple of weeks later it became run and gun. Not intentionally I am sure. Lets face it, how many people actually killed anyone because they actually needed the beans or can of coke. Please. Just do it because you can. Kiddies do it because they want to claim they are bandits, ew, the self proclamation of being a B.A.M.F. (bad ass mother fucker). Please. Internet is full of B.A.M.F. 's So I am playing Dayz Origins now, doesn't seem to be as bad. Hit Random spawn and survive a little longer. Seems to be a little more fun and new because I have never played Taviana before and I am completely lost. So I am getting back into Dayz a little. Just a little put off by the last guy who shot me in the store and his comment of "Fuck you mother fucker, thanks for the cans"...as I didnt even have cans and he sounded about 10 years old. Again I can't wait for the standalone so we all will be on the same noob level.

When this MOD first came out the game play was immersive and intense to say the least. It was stressful and exciting. Weeks went by and Arma 2 sales increased two-fold. The mod went player base quadrupled in weeks and the excitement went away as the floods of players who joined in and the waves of beach killings began. It went from 'wow' this is cool. To wow let me shoot this dude who is sitting here infront of me, in just a matter of weeks. There is absolutely no turning away from this. Millions of players are now turned onto this type of genre of game and awaiting the standalone. From the moment you load into the new game, it will be a shoot out on the beach. The immersion felt by those of us who were some of the few who were the first to play the mod before the growing popularity is gone. I am glad the MOD became popular by all means, I am just sad it became such a fragfest. I want to believe things will be different when the standalone releases, but as I jump from each new MOD of the Dayz MOD (Dayz Origins etc...)I see nothing really changes. You spawn. You get shot. None-the-less I can't wait for the standalone.

I have the game updated to 1.7.6.1 yet steam keeps trying to update to something, and it pauses, when I click resume it just goes straight to suspended. I can't launch the damn game because of that. I am however able to launch the game via the beta patch exe, but the point is, I would like to be on through steam to keep contact with friends not to mention I am annoyed to all end with the pinging sound it makes as it tries to resume and then suspends.

I am running my own server and do not know how to update the battle eye filters... I found that I need an updated script.txt file and replace it, but that is all mumbo jumbo to me. I see where to the file, but no clue where to put it.

What are those?

Just what the topic says. Get kicked everytime I try to eat or drink

Thank you very much! I just tried the Static Option and set the Hour to 7, but for some reason it is still night time. Do I need to log in as an admin and restart the server or just close it all out and re open the start up?

I just downloaded the files for a private hive server to run on my personal computer. Basically just playing with friends, but I would like to know where/how I can edit the setting for the time. Most of us play at night when we get off work (PST) (California) to be exact, and when I start my server it is always night time, and dark. Which files do I change?

Thanks guys The links to the game used to be here in General Discussion on the old webiste along with the Description of Alpha.

Back when this mod was taking off, they had a sticky in their original website about a game they made which was co-op survival. There were some videos and such. Anyone know what it was called or have the links still? Thanks.

So I am watching videos of Dayz on Youtube. I have come across about 4-5 videos of Dayz on Lingor Island, which is a place I have never seen and their characters are using different models...are these old videos or is Lingor Island a new map for Dayz?

I found it, it was disabled on my sound card.
