Good to see you on the forums Rocket, thanks for keeping us informed. :)

It's not too great of a screenshot, I took it to remember my first feeling of hopelessness in Dayz. This was before I knew you could change your name, so now you all know my first name. :P

I mostly post in off-topic and you tend to say just what I am thinking, only more in-depth and better formatted. :D

Unbinding that key.... Edit: Damn that was embarrassing.

It's an american thing done by our soldiers, police and the like. Note: This only applies to patches worn on the right shoulder.

Just the same as my real day to day, biking. No need for gas, doesn't make much noise and it's a lot faster than walking.

Only the first few times.

I'd have to say one of the few games to pull off a cover system in an FPS environment well is Red Orchestra 2. If it were that kind of cover system I wouldn't mind it in the slightest. Still good old fashion leaning is preferable to everything else.

I'm willing to just what I did in the early days of the mod, constantly hit connect until a slot opens up.

I've found 1 in a barracks, 1 at a heli crash and another on a pilot near a heli crash so three then. I've been with a friend who has found two; once in a barracks and once on a pilot. Overall I must have played over 700 hours nearly all of the summer and quite a bit into the fall last year. I almost never played anything other than vanilla in all of my time playing dayz. So I am not sure how common they are in the other mods, but I do very well remember the time when duping was rampant. Running into a tent with 8 pairs of nvgs tucked away wasn't even a rare occurrence(I ran over more tents than I can count).

Last time I talked to engan he was pretty busy plus he's not really active on the forums either. Grumpy Cat knows him a lot better than I do though, maybe he could get in contact with him. Fraggle may be a better bet.

Do you mean minimized, alt+tabbed or a laptop playing the game being closed? I'm pretty confused by this. Edit: Pretty sure if any of this was used people would end up walking into walls, trees, whatever and not making any progress or simply just getting themselves killed.

If that was the short version I am scared to think of the original. I read and it was a good read, gave me some perspective. For a while now this part of the forums have been full of 2 or 3 person discussions that just go back and forth in a almost aggressive(or actually aggressive) way. It's gotten a little ridiculous and I think people need to post and read with a clear head and try not to have the opinion of another user influence how they read their posts(as Wayze said look at it from a neutral standpoint). This is what I am assuming most of the arguments taking place here have been based on, just simple misinterpretations.

None other than the almighty creator. You may know him by the name "Rocket"

I just tried and It looks like that for me too, I have been having weird problems like that since chrome updated. I have a feeling I need to re-install it.

Glock of course, I use it in any game that has it. Has a flash light, nice ammo capacity and it's great against zeds if you know how to aim.

Your computer appdata isn't really easy to get at. You need to hit Windows+R(to open the run program), then type in appdata. Hit enter and you will get to the appdata folders(which are hidden by default). Then just find all the Arma 2 or Arma 2 OA files back them up and then delete them. Sorry for not being more clear about it before, I sometimes forget that the appdata files aren't common knowledge. Edit: Phrasing

So with most games the appdata files are not at all tied with the games initial install and are created the first time you launch the game(or make a game save), which I think may also be the case with the arma games but I'm not entirely sure. Just in-case I recommend verifying the game cache after deleting those files(she is using steam correct?). If anything this will only re-install the files in appdata, which together are just a little over 50mb. She will of course need to launch both games first in vanilla before trying to run any mods. -I should have been more clear with the first post, that's what you get for giving tech advice right after waking up from a nap.-

That is a tough one, the only possible thing I can think of is deleting Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA from her appdata(make sure to back it up just incase). Then verify integrity on both of the games. This may work because re-installing the games has no effect on the the files stored in appdata. I used this to fix some weird connection issues I had with a game a few years ago. Hope this helps!

I could never imagine gaming with a trackball.

Just noticed you can kind of see my rudder pedals tucked away under the desk.

I have a feeling you don't understand how carrier pigeons actually work. From an article on carrier pigeons.

My Favorite gun to use is the AKS-74 Kobra. I know people don't like the sight and stuff but I have always thought it was a cool gun.

Damn.... Now I'm all hyped up again, anyone got a cure for this? Also: Those rat animations were Grade A.

All I can think of is how in Die Hard, Bruce Willis kept trying to get the right size shoes. But none of the terrorists' shoes fit. I think this would cool to be implemented. We have blood types why not shoe sizes?
