Can't use Side/Global Channel

[Guest]

Hello all,

im playing DayZ for a few days now and its just great... But there's only one problem which really disturbs me as sometimes I can't change to Side and Global Channel on some servers (so i only have direct, group and vehicle) , while I dont have this problem on other servers.

I know that Side Channel will be removed soon, but I still see other players writing in it, so I think it can't be that problem?

Would be very nice if someone could help me and sorry for any mistakes, sometimes my English isn't very good^^

MfG drefree

Global and side channel are deactivated on servers that run a beta version of the ArmA 2 OA patch (1.6.93....) - this is an intended "feature".

The reason why some of the servers you join support global and side channel is, that some obviously don't run this beta version, even though it's highly recommended (and will be a necessity in order to run the upcoming Day Z 1.7.1).

As posted, side/global is disabled.

This is probably because I have "assburgers" syndrome according to some guy on 4chan, so therefore - it must be true.

I'm sorry (well, not really, but I maintain the illusion of it to fit in with society).

"according to some guy on 4chan"

It's gotta be true if "anonymous" on 4chan said it :)

Ah ok, thx EpeeNoire, then it would be senseless to change it unless its going to be a feature soon... Just find it unfair sometimes when I see people chating with each other and i had to be alone.

So far as as I can work out the latest mission file removed the channels from beta players, but non-beta players can still use them. Will only be an issue until 1.7.1 comes out as then we will all be beta players.
