+1 Very funny! Please tell us more stories, G000gle!

I did get attached to my very first character and after a while (+100 days and being fully geared etc.) I felt very reluctant to take any risks. Luckely I 'cured' myself by accidentally blowing myself up with my own handgrenade (damn that Arma2 interface). After that, I didn't give a f*ck and now I'm having so much more fun while playing. tl:dr: just go for it, take risks. You'll have more fun.

Aah, I get it. So the 'removing' has been removed and now they are 'unremoved'. So they're staying.

It's all lies. It's all LIES I tell you. There is no curse. No curse at all. It's the people who want to keep all the mountain dews for themselfs (those gready sobs) who spread those false lies. In fact, and this is the true story behind the secret, having a mountain dew in your inventory *increases* your hidden 'luck' stats by 0.07%. So how does this work, you ask? Well, if you have 15 mountain dews in your *primary* inventory (this is the important part, you *must* have it in your primary inventory, not in your backpack; or else it doesn't work) your 'luck' stats are at 105%. Everytime you'll find a lootpile it will spawn exactly the loot you need! Yes, it's true. And, even better, if somebody shoots at you the bullet will miss. Try it. Just collect those 15 mountain dews and ask a friend to shoot you in the head. The bullet will miss. Yes, it is amazing, I know. There is no need to thank me, this knowledge should be public information IMO. But I suspect those DayZ forum-admins will delete this post (again), 'cause they are all in on this conspiracy. They don't want you to know.

Who is this June, and why is she getting a standalone planet? Is she, and her dog, going to travel to this planned in this Rocket everybody keeps mentioning? ...confused...

Happened to me once too. I decided to make an adventure out of it (after being a little sad for a while) and I decided to try to swim to shore. In the end, it was a very exiting adventure after all, 'cause all my icons (food/water/temps) where telling me I was about to die. I started to lose blood, everything went gray...but against all the odds I finally made it to shore! I had to fight off some Zeds when I finally came on the beach and after that I quickly had some food and drinks. After that I started to run to get my temps up. Then I went to the woods, did some hunting, made a fire and made sure I got some of that blood back by eating steaks. The way I see it, it was all about survival. I was put into a life or death situation (by this damn hacker) but I refused to die, I decided to try my best to survive. I know my story doesn't help you with your question about suicide, but maybe swimming is an option too. Just saying: it could be an adventure if you make it so.

This is how I setup Arma2 for my GTX 670, tried everything but I like it like this the most: interface settings:1900x1200 3D settings:1900x1200 texture detail: very high video memory: default Anisotropic filtering: high Antialiasing: off ATOC: disabled Terrain detail: very low Objects detail: very high shadow detail: high hdr quality: normal PPAA: FXAA + sharp filter Postprocess effects: off interface size: very small i7 3770 (atm still at stock speeds), 16GB Ram, 120GB SSD. edit: added system specs.

June 2014?

I've had this problem, 'bank left' and 'rudder left' were both assigned to my rudderpedal-axis. Don't know for sure, but maybe that's the reason with you too.

I stand corrected.

Best if you only make *one* post about your issue, it's makes it easier for people to help you. Here's your other post: http://dayzmod.com/f...cant-play-dayz/ edit: both post are combined now, thanks.

He never said he bought it. @OP: check this: 'notable Arma 2 tweaks' to improve your framerate.

Still, your effort is appreciated. I've left you a like :-)

Welcome! I'll hope you'll enjoy your stay. Just one request: please take note of the proper lootpile etiquette, let's all work together to keep Chernarus tidy. Thanks ;-)

I'm using Trackir 5 with the trackclip-pro in A2 and DayZ, it works just great for me. It's just so immersive to use my head to look around in the gameworld. It's fast and responsive, and after a while I always forgetting that I'm using it. And IMO it's great for flying heli's and airplanes. Just make sure you spent some time tweaking your Trackir profile to perfection, so that it gives the most natural experience while looking around.

Arma 2 is f*king awsome, you wouldn't waste your money. It's supported by a large and dedicated community, and there are lots of mods for it. I bought it a year ago, and I've never looked back since. I'm having a great time playing DayZ with my friends, but also playing lots of mods and also the singleplayer campaign. And it has an editor, so you can make your own missions, to play with friends. Well enough said, obviously I like Arma2 :-) I say, go for it!

AFAIK the people of Chernarus just trew their junk and garbage on the streets for years and years, they didn't care about hygiene. It's normal procedure in those countries. No wonder everybody got infected.

I really like your initiative, teaching new players how to survive. There are a lot of new players who need someone to show them how it's done. So, kudo's to that. But I'll have to say; I don't like the term 'bambi'. It makes you sound superiour to new players. They are not helpless baby's. It's just like the term 'carebears' which used to fill this forums. Or 'fanboy', don't like that one either. I'm sure you mean well, so don't worry about it too much.

AFAIK that's the skoda. It just called 'car' ingame. It comes in 4 variants; red, blue, green and white.

Welcome, colbewild1!

About waiting or not for the SA: Arma 2 CO is a great game, with a large and dedicated community. I've bought it on Steam in august 2012 and I've never looked back since. Even back in 2012 there was discussion about 'waiting or not' for the Dayz SA, because there was 'talk' of it releasing back in december 2012. I'm glad I didn't wait for the SA, but bought Arma 2 in stead; I've had so much fun with it! Still: I would love to play the SA, so I hope it will release soon too!

QFT. ..and opening the map before alt-tabbing also seems do do the trick.

Those are some good tips, sir. Arma's video options do need some explaning to get 'em to work right, not all is obvious. Thanks.

Bind 'enter/exit vehicle' and 'use' to the same key. Bind that same key, but doubletap, to 'eject' and 'change weapon'. That way you'll control 4 different actions with a single key.

Do you use dayzcommander to startup DayZ? That way you'll be sure DayZ will work, cause dayzcommander takes care off all those startup parameters etc.
