Crow

[BigChef 55]

Just d/l and started playing, however every time I join a game my avatar is a crow! What's up?

Have you tried a different server? If not try it now, it's probably only related to that server.

You should go divebomb some people or give away positions

Just d/l and started playing.

Pirated versions of the game are subjected to Degrade.

This means that you will be able to play the game, but parts of it will be changed to render the game unplayable.

This includes, but is not limited to;

- Being turned into a crow

- Weapon(firearms and vehicles) accuracy is so bad you cannot reliably aim at anything that isn't basically touching you

- Movement speed slowed down to a crawl

To fix it; Buy the actual game.

Now, obviously the crow thing happens on legit copies as well, since it's also a spectator mode. (This is what you're experiencing if you have actually bought it from Steam/GamersGate/GreenManGaming/etc.)

Best you can do is try a different server(or servers), as well as verify the game cache through Steam. (Right click your game and select Properties.)

Which ever of my assumptions is correct, those are your solutions.

No matter what you say here will change the facts, so the "I bought the game from Steam" is pointless, as I've covered both topics.

Basically your connection is playing up. Try another server or restart your modem :)

There could be some benefits to being Crow. You can make a career as a humorous commentator of B-movies from the 50's and 60's.

The crow was fun but it couldn't shoot anything and I had this insatiable craving to feed off dumpsters.

Found a good server w/DayZ commander and it played fine. Having trouble with the "sponserd by Gamespy" servers
