BC_Hawke 276 Posted July 27, 2014 I'm glad that it hasn't been released yet. Admins and players are FINALLY making the move to the Steam A2OA patch. Once the smoke clears from that it would be a great time to update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Borges (DayZ) 40 Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Good news. Jimmy should update his server us3480 to the latest, it would probably generate players. Edited July 28, 2014 by Borges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knoCC (DayZ) 211 Posted July 28, 2014 What are the steps to connect to DayZ Vanilla servers? I am finding some in DayZ Commander, but they are grayed out. How do I switch over to launching with steam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taikonaut 85 Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) What are the steps to connect to DayZ Vanilla servers? I am finding some in DayZ Commander, but they are grayed out. How do I switch over to launching with steam. Prequesites1. Update your DayZ Commander.2. In the Settings, tick "Play using Steam" (or something similar, dunno by hard)3. Open Steam - Game Library and right-click on Arma2 OA, --> Properties --> Beta --> Select "beta -"4. On "Local Files", check your game files for inconsistencies5. Close and restart Steam, Arma2 OA should now have [beta] behind it in the Game Library6. Download and install the mod via Steam (search for "DayZ Mod", should be the first in the results)7. Right-click as you did on Arma2 OA and join the beta for DayZ Mod as well (1.8.1)8. Restart Steam. DayZ Mod in your Game Library should now have [1.8.1] Now you should be able to Connect via Steam:1. Start the mod by double-clicking "DayZ Mod [1.8.1]" in your Game Library.2. Have a server IP and port at hand... e.g. 178.77.65.159:2325 (my own server, shameless me)3. Select Multiplayer --> Remote --> Enter IP and Port... Server should be listed now.4. Join server by double-clicking it. Connect via DayZ Commander:1. Just select a server, e.g. 178.77.65.159:2325 (my own server, again shameless me)2. Pray that it works. DayZ Commander is a little buggy for me at the moment, although most people on my server connect via DayZCommander That´s all I have.

TIC 1050 Posted July 29, 2014 I'm enjoying the US 434 as a private hive. Makes it such a big relief that I no longer have the bandit skin. I wish it were the same for the public hive. :( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geryon 180 Posted July 29, 2014 I'm enjoying the US 434 as a private hive. Makes it such a big relief that I no longer have the bandit skin. I wish it were the same for the public hive. :( Assuming the hive comes back you won't have the bandit skin since the the game will be using your steam UID (instead of the playerid) and in effect your character will reset. Some people won't like that while others will like to start fresh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borges (DayZ) 40 Posted July 29, 2014 That's the broken Arma beta 112555, not DayZ Mod 1.8.1Once my server moved on to a newer Arma beta the exhaustion bug was gone. Just hopped onto a 125548 server and the exhaustion bug is still there. Not sure what sort of magic meth your server is on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC_Hawke 276 Posted July 30, 2014 Just hopped onto a 125548 server and the exhaustion bug is still there.I'm experiencing the same. Out of all the bugs/issues DayZ mod has faced in recent history this one is driving me nut more than any of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r4z0r49 4761 Posted July 30, 2014 So it seems the gamespy/steam issue is starting to settle down a bit now. We are going to give it a few more dayz before we set a date to do the next release hopefully by then everything would have settled down. No point us trying to confuse everyone more with another patch just now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so they are dead and out of business so I'm guessing there isn't much hope of it coming back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borges (DayZ) 40 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Tell BiS to stop smoking crack and release the 1.8.2 patch. Edited July 31, 2014 by Borges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squadorn 6 Posted July 31, 2014 Tell BiS to stop smoking crack and release the 1.8.2 patch. Why? BIS is not holding up the patch they have already given a green light on release, R4Z0R49 and team need to find time to release it and they will as soon as the Gamespy and beta mess settles down a bit.

Borges (DayZ) 40 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Well then, Rocket and his team need to put down the crack pipes. :) On another note, because the exhaustion bug is really game inhibiting. Edited July 31, 2014 by Borges Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
