Can't load/join anything?

[lesliehapablap 1]

Well, I finally got DayZ in and Arma II up to date so it says so on DayZ Commander.. but now there's always SOME problem and I've never been able to actually set foot on the ground and play as a character.. guess I'll list the problems

1. Are you supposed to spawn as a pigeon? One time I did.. dunno why.

2. Everything seems a bit blurry.. might be graphics setting or.. what could it be?

3. It always stops loading on SOMETHING. Sometimes it doesn't receive all the data and just pauses there, sometimes it's on authenticating the server.. but it always doesn't load something and the one time it did I spawned as a pigeon and it told me to leave and then come back.

4. It always says I'm missing something! One time I was missing some .Optics, one time it was some tree texture, one time it was something else! But it's always something different it says it can't find.

All in all, what should I do? :/

Like this time it couldn't find the script for wild_spawnzombies... zzz. And then it says "Something went wrong! Please disconnect and try again". or along those lines.

If you need any more information or my specs (though I got someone to tell me mine were fine) just ask.

I also have additional launch parameters if you think those might be it. I'm not sure.

try the following:

- launch DayZ Commander

- open "install/update" and make sure that the DAYZ COMMANDER, ARMA 2 and DAYZ are all "Up to date"

- close "install/update"

- if you are using Steam to play DayZ open "settings" and check the check-boxes for "Launch using Steam" and "Replace original Arma2AO files...."

- close "settings"

- in the "servers" window pick the following options in the filter: DayZ Only, "Hide Unofficial", "Hide Wrong Arma2 Version", "Hide Wrong Mod Version"

this should show you public servers that are running DayZ and ArmA2 beta version "compatible" with yours (beta version does not always have to match exactly).. try joining one of these servers to see how it works out

Ok, did what you said.. going to see if it works. Edit in about 5-6 min probably.

Alright! Seems to be working, thanks.

ONE QUICK QUESTION THOUGH: This has been bugging me... people and their mics. Some are blasting music, or being general annoying.. kind of ruins the feeling for me. I shouldn't be able to hear them in this anyways since we're not close to each other! (realistic)

How can I mute them?

Edit: Without muting my sound.. I still want to be able to hear stuff.

press P for list of players, you can mute them there

also, this was only to test if DayZ will work this way.. if you want to play on private servers, you have to remove the "Hide Unofficial" option from filter but always make sure that the server you are connecting to is running DayZ and ArmA2 versions that match yours (server name and description will be white if they do, grey if they don't)
