Stuck in the void; Debug Zone

[Zaikeria 0]

I was "killed" by a hacker whom hijacked my body, but my characters death was never "official", it never showed up or anything, I just saw my character die and sink into the ground. After aborting and attempting to get in several times, I found it took me over 10 minutes to get back into the game, and I found myself in the out of map area, just green hills and other people whom have died. I have attempted to re-spawn but I have had no change in situation. I have also re-installed my copy of ArmA2 (not OA though). Is there any way for me to fix my situation to return to the normal world, I would be very upset if I couldn't ever play DayZ again because of this "game ruiner" <_<

Bad news...tecnically you are still living in the game although in a far out location. Happened to my buddy as well. He put a coffee cup on the forward key and just tried to run back to normal map while he went and gotvready tonplay golf. He said it took like thirty minutes in realntime until his dayz guy died from starvation and he was able to createva new player.

Unfortunately I can't starve or die of thirst, they don't go down, nor can I open my debug menu :(

EDIT: I cannot get cold or restart either, When I restart it has a two second timer and I just re-spawn in the debug zone again :|

Delete your character and create a new profile?

I think its linked to my CD keys and I did make a new character, but I will try your suggestion anyway.

EDIT: I have deleted all but my default player profiles, and I have noticed they all have the same Player ID; is there a way for me to change my Player ID by any chance?

Player ID is linked to your CD key (Therefore your GUID too). The only way I can think of changing it is through a winsock hook or something similar. However I very much assume that would be a bannable offence. Not sure.

Derp. I just realised. Get rid of all your DayZ files & folders, reinstall. Your player ID would be linked to your DayZ folders regarding your player location. It's all client side. So just redownload/install. Should work fine :)

Both ArmA2 and Operation Arrowhead? I have re-installed just my ArmA2 but I shall just try and re-install everything.

No no, by re-install I mean DayZ. Delete all the folders/files and redownload them

Can I ask for a rough estimate as to where my DayZ files would be stored? I'd prefer to not fish through my entire C:\ drive just to find them.

EDIT: I believe I may have found them in my AppData area of my drive.

I've just finished re-installing the lot, ArmA + OA + DayZ and I've had absolutely no change in my situation. I'm beginning to be on the edge of my thread due to how frustrating this is becoming <_<

Maybe SixUpdater (I assume that's what you're using if you don't know where DayZ is stored) stores your DaZ folders on your HDD. All you have to do is this.. Go to C:/ > Program Files (x86/32bit) > steam > steamapps > common > arma 2 operation arrowhead and you'll find @DayZ in there. Delete that, then go to http://dayzmod.com/?Download and download all the files/folders, create the @DayZ folder again and extract all the files in there.

Hopefully this works. Also, run the game manually. Not through a launcher. But make sure you set your launch parameters correctly. If you don't know how, here:
