What's up everyone, I would appreciate some help with this issue. Here is my background, I was just playing dayz on my i3 laptop which I just sold and built a new rig with an i5. I had no problems playing before, sure like everyone else I had to reinstall and deinstall a few times but nothing to serious. But now this is extremely annoying, spend a huge chunk of $$$ on a MSI Lighting Geforce 770GTX :( video card and I want to play this game after suffering so much playing dayz before on my laptop. I only use Dayz Commander... to connect to dayz My normal procedure goes as followed: Open Steam in "Admin Mode" Install Arma 2 Install Arma 2 : Operation Arrownhead Install Arma 2 : Operation Arrownhead Beta Install DayzCommander Run DayCommander Run Arma 2 Run Arma 2 : Operation Arrownhead Run Arma 2 : Operation Arrownhead Beta Install Dayz in DayzCommander Update Arma 2 from DayzCommander Then enjoying playing Dayz, Until NOW!!! This setup used to work for me, I've even gone so far to have Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead turned on, go into - Expansion- and select "Dayz Mod" & "Arma 2 : Operation Arrowhead : Dayz Mod" as well. Which mind you I NEVER used to have to do to play the game so I don't know why I would now. The worse thing is I Have to select "Windowed Mode" in Dayz Commander as it will crash the whole game and I have to restart my brand newly installed Windows 7, which anyone knows will just mess up your Windows forcing a restart through forcibly turning it off. I have a friend who bought Arma 2 + OA and has the same exact issue as me and practically gave up on Dayz like many other people cause of how glitchy the mod is and he feels it's not worth the trouble to get it working. Not me though I'm dying to play this game as I have characters with supplies like vehicles in the woods on multiple servers and they will be erased any day now if I don't log in. (I also do not have any other PC to use) I'm to the point of playing with my router settings which I feel is stupid because I never needed to do that before so I'm really cautions with what settings I am turning off/on, like my firewall turned off but will I get the same error "Connection Failed". Enabled/Disabled UPnP and still nothing. Mind you I tried each time loading the game and checking to make sure I had internet and still "Connection Failed". I see lots and lots of people having this same issue and resolving it with deinstalling & reinstalling every. I have done this multiple times like over 10 and I am sick of doing it. My normal procedure of deinstalling goes as followed: In Steam - Delete Local Content... from Arma 2 Arma 2 OA Arma 2 OA Beta Battleye for OA Battleye Steam as well DayzCommander Then go into C: Drive Delete, Steam folder in "Program Files (x86)" folder, as well as the DayzCommander which is under the name "Dotjosh Studios". Then open "Documents" Delete Arma 2 & Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead folders. I even go into Regedit and remove anything Steam, Valve and anything else related to these programs keys. Then Restart my PC download Steam run in Admin mode and begin with my normal install procedures. So if anyone has any advice or recommendations I would appreciate it, if I can never fix this I will wait for standalone which is any moment now but it really sucks if I can't even test my Geforce 770 GTX. So basically a bunch of money pissed away at the moment due to me not being able to play a game I really like. >:( Did I mention HELP ME !!! lol, Later. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the way, I just got my own Dayz Server and I'm looking for people who know how to build custom maps and would be interested in helping admin perhaps as well. My domain is Dayz.us and I'm thinking of calling is the "Ultimate Survival" Edition. The website is under development and also looking for people who are interested in helping out with the template. PM me if your interested. Here is the DAYZ.us IP: 192.31.185.203 The goal would be to have hidden bases custom (built or not) far away from the main cities and full of good loot spawning in, give players very little start out loot. Try to have most cars on the coast abandoned near gas stations leading away from the cities. Have Tents & Cars not reset after 3 days (if possible). Stripping vehicle parts would be a must but player must find toolbox. Could offer donations for starter gear but the prices would have to be rock bottom and very cheap, idea still up in the air about this. I wanna try to make it very hard to survive yet make sure people have to work to gear up so when you die you'll feel bad for the wasted time. More to come in another thread I'll make about it if I have interested people.

I no longer have the extra vehicles on my serer anymore since I'm running Epoch now

I'm on the good side of alright. I know chernarus by heart, as others have said. I can drive vehicles, fly helicopters rather well and in tight situations, pilot planes, and commandeer boats with ease. I am skilled with the weapons, and can get consistent kills at 600< meters with most average weapons. I can murder other players with no remorse, even if i had been cracking jokes with them on side chat a minute ago. I don't care about the lives of others in this game, it's all survival of the fittest for me. I am a completely rubbish tactician/strategist. I will run full-pelt into towns to kill someone I have seen, which normally results in my death by zombies. (I'm working on improving my strategies/tactics) I am also excellent at scaring people, literally to death, on this game. Once I was flying a helicopter with 6 passengers and thought it would be funny to turn the engine off and pretend I had jumped out and the heli was crashing. Unfortunately, I tried it twice, and the second time I accidentally hit the 'eject' button, which resulted in the fiery demise of my passengers. 3 survived the initial crash, with broken legs and severe loss of blood. I gave one of them morphine after finding them, and he tried to run to a town to get help, but died from a zombie attack.

Official DayZ Origins #GX EU20 - ARCUS (1.7.5/103419) [4h Day/Night] IP: 188.165.255.175:2802 http://www.arcus-gaming.com Hello people. Arcus, the admins of the old official EU20 (from the official hive) are back with a new Origins server. We've built a decent player base but are looking for more fresh people to join us. 3rd person = on Crosshairs = on Name plates = off Forum and Teamspeak will be up and running again shortly. This server will be around for the long run so you don't have to worry about the server shutting down. We recently switched to a French host so we have a new IP now: 188.165.255.175:2802 The server is the same so all characters, gear, vehicles, houses and such are still there, it's just the IP that have changed. We're serious about administrating this server and will not treat our own any different than a regular user, so there will be no admin abuse. We have active admins which prioritizes our players experience on our server. Hope to see you around! Cheers! -rB0rlax

Let's consider for a moment that WarZ didn't deliver on a single thing they promised to do. The map isn't even fully developed as far as I know. Animations look completely stupid. The game is riddled with just as many (if not more) bugs than the Arma 2 engine, which has been under construction in one way or another since OPF. You can pay real money for items that you loose on death. So as for that comparison, it's null. WarZ is a pathetic failure of a ripoff. And BF2? Are you fucking kidding me? This game is NOTHING like BF2. Let's consider the features you already would have seen if you watched any videos of the standalone - Doors and gates do not break your legs anymore. - The inventory system has been completely redone. - A crafting system that will eventually include thousands of items. - a 225 sq km map. MUCH larger than BF2 could handle. - Your nutrition is monitored via a complex system of caloric intake, hydration, and exertion. Meaning the more physical activity you do, the more you're exposed to the heat/cold, the more you have to eat and drink. - Your shoes degrade. - You can change your clothes. - You have to repair vehicles part by part. - Zombies are an actual threat in the standalone. - Very realistic ballistics. - Multiplayer Day/Night cycle. - You can experience some really fascinating character interactions which I have never even witnessed in another video game. I actually don't see any similarity to BF2 at all, really. In short, we really don't have to explain why Arma 2 is the ideal engine for the task. Sure, it has some bugs, (If that REALLY bothers you so much, go play WarZ. It won't be any better) BUT, it is still a powerful and very flexible engine, to be able to support everything it does.

DayZ and Wasteland are far from similar. I mean.. Really? Wasteland - PVP, Tanks, Jets, Helicopters, Vehicles, Bases, Insane Amount of Weaponswith High End's being very easy to find, Teams, Independents, Chaos. DayZ - PVP, PVE, Cars, Helis (Rarely), High End Weapons are rare, all Independent, Zombies, Multiple factors to surviving. DayZ may be PvP mainly, but it is very slow paced, were as I can jump on Wasteland and have 10 kills in 10 minutes and get stuck right into the action. There are still a lot of reasons to play one or the other. Wasteland has done incredibily well for itself, it is great fun and is actually a very good way of learning to play. On a vanilla DayZ server, which many are trying to revert back to and find ways to make it harder to KoS, you will be involved in maybe.. 2-3 fights a day seperated hours apart.

Hello there, I wanted to present to you my server You can find us at IP : 85.131.166.25:2302 Features: DayZ 1.7.7.1 / Arma 2 Beta 103718 / 64 slots Anti Hax System Difficulty: Regular Restarted every 3 hours Bloodbag yourself TS Server VirtualWorld.tekkit.de MAP: EPOCH CHERNO

Please check your server RPT logs. Maybe a vehicle exploded while spawning. I will check whether the BIS functions (which use setvehicleinit) are overwritten after of before server_monitor (which spawns vehicles&tents). Edit: I checked the code and the server should never trigger setvehicleinit. So I suppose it's a hack.

Bump, no one likes a little Vanilla? Not a ton of vehicles? Any suggestions?

It may be the server if it's a custom server it may have alot of extra buildings,vehicles,weapons that may lag your pc

Yeah, really sucks. I only found a few true vanilla servers, all of which had 0 players 24/7. :( All I can find is "xXx420blazeitxXx's server [1,000,000+ vehicles] [50,000+ helicopters] [PvP OFF] [start with DMR]" Oh, how I miss the old DayZ times...

Hopefully this will be implemented, all I see on the DayZMod server list is '500+ Vehicles, Spawn with an AS50 and Unlimated Ammo' srsly, piss off

People love to explore big cities in a game like this and these two come the closest, even though they're quite small. So all I notice now is everyone spawns around these two areas and if they don't they just find the nearest place to vault off of. People barely go north because the rest of the map is so boring, small villages don't offer anything and they make up the rest of the map other than Zino which you never really spawn anywhere near. Without vehicles there isn't any reason to go anywhere tbh, especially now they removed the big sniper rifles. Items I used to find in the game don't seem, to be in anymore, I haven't even seen NVGs or a Ghilie in months, I haven't seen a vehicle in months either....... were they taken out or something? So I find there is even less reason to go anywhere other than Cherno and Elektro because the only fun thing to do now is kill people. I hope that the new map adds like a River running through the middle to give an excuse to use boats and plant a city in the middle of the map. I hope maybe there will be big buildings to explore like a shopping centre or something, I hope loot will be fixed because right now it just seems so borked, the only time I find loot really now is off hackers. Tbh though someone needs to take that Take on Helicopters map and flesh it out for Dayz, would be amazing.

New weapons and vehicles land and air, new scenarios and more. Lots of ArmA SP.

The radio seems to be THE issue to people... There is so much more to discuss. How is the tent feature going to be realized? How are the new gestures (in fact "hands in the air" so far is the example Dean gave) going to be implemented, so they are going to be useful? What will happen to vehicles and crafting? And so on :) But well, those are mostly speculations, aren't they?

There definitely should be more vehicles. I'm not just talking about cars, just vehicles in general. Bikes, quads, hell, skateboards for all I care, just give us more things to drive/ride on :) At the current state only a rare procent of players have the possibility to get one, because of all the car-hoarders. (I have been playing for half a year now, and only had two working vechiles, and one I found not repaired). Horses maybe? That would be awesome!

I had a look at apocalypse-rp and i really like the community so far. It only seems to lack players as of now, the additional mod with the extra vehicles, weapons and items is very interesting in my opinion. Go there, the more people there roleplaying, the more fun it gets.

The Goldfish Bowl - Day Z Epoch Server Provided by the BSB Network - Gaming & banter for grown ups! Active server recently changed to Epoch and steadily building more players Strong emphasis on Survival/trading but also plenty of PvP! 260+ Dynamically spawning basic vehicles (with more advanced and better vehicles available for trade and personal ownership) Base building active and working - build your own secure team base! Dogs enabled - get yourself a dog companion, ala I am Legend! in-game currency - earn gold, silver, copper, tin and aluminium by selling and trading ANYTHING you loot. Trader cities and wholesalers across the map for selling unwanted loot and buying kit you do want! Personal safes available Basic starting loadout (makarov, 3 mags & 2 bandages) - No pay to win load outs! Usual custom buildings such as extended urban areas, additional fire stations, barracks, apartments,castles etc (Not OP additions like barracks added to Cherno or anything like that!) Minimal choppers - Choppers generally have to be bought. Play Day Z how it was meant to be played with just a handful of choppers. Once you can afford a chopper you need to value it! Daylight settings temporary running 24/7 No admin restricted areas or protected bases! No admin abuse! Additional weapons and vehicles unlocked and added to trader system including previously unavailable weapons! Custom ambushes and choke points - become an infamous highwayman robbbing travellers of their gold! Moderates with limited admin access (so no admin abuse!) to just kick and ban hackers Two established factions fighting against each other (so there's no clan stacking - all our members are divided between the 2 teams!) and lots of smaller Private Military Companies (PMCs) On going tournaments and events to win in-game rewards or gold to buy equipment or supplies - earn the dough and reap the rewards! Trader events such as flash sales and treasure hunts! TSW Anti-Hack installed Following a recent server relaunch (we moved server host, changed maps and even mod version!) and subsequence success, we're looking to further improve our server's population and are inviting players to come check us out! It's relatively "bambi" and noob friendly (no guarnatees though!!!) and there are no massively over powered teams punishing new players the second they set foot on the coast! Our regular players are divided between two open factions where clan membership NOT necessary to join! Also lots of smaller groups and private teams playing too, so there isnt a single group of players hoarding all the best vehicles and weapons! That said, our "GoldFish Bowl" Chernarus server is very a dangerous place with AI and human bandits on almost every hillside, in every city and around every corner! We’re already seeing a lot of casualties though treachery, deception and damn right piracy! Precious metals are just that - and people will do anything to get their hands on some quick and easy currency! The only rules that apply on our server (apart from no cheating!) are faction members cannot fire upon members of their own faction – there is only honour among our factions! Affiliation to a faction at least guarantees your safety and support within that faction as well as access to shared faction resources! Affiliation last the entire course of a Faction Wars season, which are regular events that are hosted on the server and played at specific times, so once you are affiliated with a faction you are bound to them for the long haul, but benefits of being a part of a faction include team loyalty, better event participation and access to a faction base - built completely in-game with available crafting resources! Add your own barracks, sheds, shacks, quarters, bunkers, fortifications and much more to your factions base, or make your own outpost - its up to you! Both factions are presently open to join and offer various benefits! Ideally, the factions have different goals and approaches, but these arent always set in stone! Ravens tend to be more "hero” style in their approach, friendly, skill full, stealthy and interested in building bases, helping others and providing protection to bambis and noobs alike! Scorpions are more "bandit" style players, pirates of Chernarus their main objective is self preservation and to f**k up some ones day! They are only loyal to each other and will think nothing of shooting first, asking questions later! However it’s important to understand that this is only the IDEAL of the factions and there are no obligations for Scorpions to play bandit, Ravens to play hero – Ravens can be as cold and ruthless in their daily excursions and Scorpions can be friendly and helpful, it’s entirely up to you how you wish to play! To apply to a faction simply click visit the faction wars page here;- http://www.bsbnetwork.com/dayz
