Hmm, cant really remeber exactly now, but if it is the same crap that pops up for me when im loading into server... I just press OK and screen loads game.... Or freeze on loading... Have not happend during .15 thou ( freeze i meen).

Must be pressed immideatly or there is a definitive screen freeze.

Still spawning without weapons, and unable to find food to eat. Also can't find any weapons

*sigh* Please dev-team help us :D

If you're starting fresh - you will not spawn with a weapon. That's how the mod is designed.

I get this message a lot and always just click okay. Loads me in and I can play fine.

[dcskill 117]

Will people stop bitching about not spawning without a weapon? It's part of the mod now.

As for the error, I can't directly tell you how I fixed it, but I did this and now everything works:

1) Run steam as admin.

2) Update Batleye files, I just copy the ones in Arma2 and put them in Arma2: OA since they won't download from steam.

I forget exactly what else I did, but now that I think about it, these 2 might fix it.

Uhm, every other single person in this game starts with a gun and is able to find guns;

I'm not, and i don't think thats how it's suppossed to be

From the wiki (Click the image thumbnail)

You're just experiencing poor luck. Stop looking in the big cities and start looting barns and deer stands further away from civilization/spawn.

Then why did rocket (big boss from developpers team) say it was some kind of issue?

WTH? xD

[patluk@sasktel.net 1]

But the cfgweapons error is how I know everything is working correctly! What will I do without it?

[mansen 1]

WTH? xD

In other words - I'd like to see some documentation for your "But Rocket said et cetera..." argument. :dodgy:

When starting a new character the only thing you get are a flash light, bandages and painkillers. No gun. Once you find a gun and quit the game you will have it the next time you play. Once you die you lose everything and start with the same three beginning items again.

I am not sure why you think other people start with a gun, maybe you read it in an old post or something. You used to start with a pistol but not any more.

And please stop bringing up money, this mod is free for players of Arma2. If you purchased Arma2 solely for DayZ without doing some reading that is not the Devs fault. DayZ is in Alpha and you should expect it to be unplayable at times.

It's supposed to be like that... :cool:

It's pretty simple to fix. All you do is turn off UAC:

Open Control Panel

Select User Accounts

Select 'Change User Account Control Settings'

Change the slider to Never Notify

Restart your computer now and then run Steam as admin by right clicking the shortcut and clicking "Run as administrator"

Hope this helped! :D

[mansen 1]

Hate to burst your bubble but that doesn't fix anything - I've had the error since I started playing DayZ and I've always had UAC off. :D

[ToxicDoom165 0]

Ps. It also helps to download and use the patcher here.

dayz is in beta ;)

not quite

[Nickovitschj 3]

I honestly shame myself, so sorry i was wrong

u guys were right

I found my first gun :D

[Egg02 0]

I too was wrong. I still get the bin/config message every now and then but all I have to do is click past it and the game works perfectly. Still thanks for all the help and quick feed back.

haha so much fail in this post. ah new guys xD

[goblinshark 5]

Can you post a screenshot of the error?

There are two types of errors generally associated with this problem:

1) An internal memory / computing error between the .exe and your computer, this error will crash the game, and may be related to having misplaced mod files scattered through your C:\ drive.

2) An in-game configuration error that nearly everyone deals with. This error will NOT crash your game, and shouldn't affect gameplay. If this is a clickable error, you should be fine.

As of the most recent patch, you are not supposed to spawn with weapons, so you shouldn't be seeing them whether or not you have that error. Additionally, please post a SS of what is happening when you try to loot weapons. Use both "G", middle mouse button clicking, and mouse scrolling to try and select the weapons. Make sure you are highlighting it in your inventory selection menu, and clicking the arrow to move it into your inventory. Also, make sure you have room for the weapon, or it simply may not work.

Edit: after I posted this response I saw that your error was #2, I'm glad it works!
