Metziil 5 Posted March 7, 2013 So I was playing Dayz last night on a pretty good server, and another survivor and myself decided to team up. Well after a while and withstanding various attacks my buddy needed a blood transfusion, so I was like well let me give it a go i have a blood bag. I used my mouse well to attempt this action while I had Blood in my main inventory and was looking at him but the only option I get is to open his backpack. Any ideas? Then later on him and I found a vehicle or two and decided to fix them up and refuel them, same problem had a full jerry can and could not refuel the vehicle, had all the other options but couldnt refuel, although he was able to put fuel in it himself. So what I am wondering if this is a common issue or if its just me. Any hints would be helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intensity 157 Posted March 7, 2013 DayZ can be glitchy like this sometimes. Don't know why, but it can happen.If anything, try this:Move around a little bit more with your scroll menu you up, and see if it will ever pop upMove the blood bag into your backpack or on the ground, then back to your inventory and try it againTry relogging by shutting down Arma and try once again If that doesn't work, maybe you're just allergic to blood bags and gas.

Azziax 81 Posted March 7, 2013 walk around the vehicle or player and changing distance of approach helps for me.Sometimes is seems buggy to me too. very weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metziil 5 Posted March 7, 2013 Hmm I will try this thank you for the quick response. I did try it last night but Dayz is very buggy on my comp for some reason which is weird b/c it says on canirunit.com that my comp should be laughing at this game as far as loading goes but i get in and its rather sluggish/glitchy so i turned it down to norm setting and change antianalysing to low and shadows off but it still runs sluggish and slow.

intensity 157 Posted March 7, 2013 NASA supercomputers couldn't run DayZ on High.Arma's video settings are really weird. I tested my FPS through the singleplayer benchmarks on different settings and this is what I received:*Very Low: 42-45 FPS*Low: 30-45 FPSNormal: 60-62 FPSHigh: 59-60 FPSVery High: 50-60I find it very odd how it works...

LegitOldSchool 261 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Arma's video settings are really weird.

Setting to low or very low only helps the players who have a very crappy graphics card. Edited March 7, 2013 by EchoZeero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted March 7, 2013 Your computer's specs have nothing to do with it, in most cases I've seen of this (and I have done a lot of transfusions), you have a back connection to the server. Even if the ping says it's fine, your packet loss could still be high, causing you to lag and having your game take awhile to realize your friend even needs a transfusion or your car needs fuel.Obviously it would be best to sort our your connection for a number of reasons, but quick fixes to this problem is just wait it out with the menu up, try walking away and coming back, moving the bloodbag around or using a different one, relog, or change your weapon to force the menu to update.

Metziil 5 Posted March 8, 2013 Well everyone here was the solution for me it was actually a version problem. I downloaded Arma II and Arma II OA through steam but for some reason I had an outdated version. So what I ended up doing was going through Dayz Commander and finding the update screen and sure enough my versions were out of date. Since I updated them the game runs a lot smoother and I can do the Transfusions/Refueling now. Thank you for all the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted March 8, 2013 Actually, it might not be you. I've noticed the same in the recent updates. The just isn't an option to give a blood transfusion when one is clearly needed, and the same with wanting to fill a jerry can. I find I have to leave the server and go back in again. Mad.

HMS 115 Posted March 9, 2013 Definitely in the last 2 updates, it has become far more prevalent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metziil 5 Posted March 11, 2013 Well the problem came to a head when I got sniped by someone and it kept glitching me out and respawning on my body with no loot, and the sniper kept killing me over and over..... I ended up getting banned from the server for "Hacking"..... The thing is I have no idea how to hack :P the game screwed up and I am now banned from that server, but I am holding my head high. I have found a new server that allows me to refuel do transfusions and die in the correct manner. Unfortunatley now I don't know anyone on the new server. So its back to square one, wish me luck...

Metziil 5 Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks for all the help and quick interaction fellas.... I gave up on the one server, to much was going wrong I landed on a veteran server :S but I am doing well luckily for me its a very low pop vet server and most of the people that play on it are busy up around the NWAF so I dont have to worry about to much right now. BTW I saw my first Heli crash yesterday.... walking around lost in the woods and see a pillar of smoke and on approach see 5 or 6 ish soldier zombies coming out of the crash.... this game I tell you what keeps things interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
