Frequently Asked Questions and Useful Threads

[Target Practice (DayZ) 1335]

Okay, seeing the same questions popping up time after time at the moment, and although most of them are due to people not doing a quick search before hitting the 'new topic' button, if this helps save poor orlok's 'merge' button from further wear and tear, it's all been worth it.
 
Q: Is it worth buying DayZ?
This thread features a response from Rocket himself early on, explaining the state of things.
 
Q: Can I run DayZ on my computer?

This thread right here is the best place to ask.

 

Q: I think I found a bug, how do I report it?
Read this guide, particularly the bit about searching for existing reports, then follow the instructions it gives you.

 

Q: My screen has gone all black and white, what's happening and how do I fix it?

You're low on health. You need to get someone to administer a blood bag or saline drip on you. There's a conversation about it here that might explain the process for you.

 

Q: Where's all the loot? I can't find anything.

You're probably in a high-population area where a lot of players spawn. Try moving inland and away from the coast.

 

Q: How do I use the bayonet I just found?

Right now, that function hasn't been implemented, so it's just there to look pretty and open tins of beans (drag the bayonet onto the tin to open).

 

I'll edit and update as new questions get asked/new useful threads pop up.

I want to point out that Kichi has a similar thread.  Maybe your two threads could get merged. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154725-index-of-all-the-helpful-threads-you-need-to-read/#entry1550900

Bahahaha, how the hell did I miss this?! I even made sure to do a quick search before I started, just to avoid the inevitable irony. :D

 

Oh well, I shall just sit here looking like a tit. :p

Yes, please merge the two and slap a big FAQ on top in sparkling red letters.

I blame the fact that blasted German made a FAQ without including any of the words that comprise the acronym FAQ! :D

You, sir - you are late. Go be ashamed that you can't be as awesome as I am.

Good job on making a tag that's too short for the forum search function to find properly, captain awesome. :p
