It's happened two times now, I hear "pow pow" from a makarov and im instantly dead, no bleeding out or anything. But when I shoot someone it's like they live for ages afterwards

Headshots.

Some amazing moments with this game. I met some random guy and he told me he's going for the hospital so I followed him. We were both running low on blood so we healed each other, waved goodbye and split apart, continuing our way.

Yea, for me, it is stuff like you just said that make this game so cool...each session can become a really cool experience.

A few days ago I came across a guy, pretty far out in the woods...said he was heading to the NW airfield but accidently hit the prone button while running and he broke a bone when he fell

I gave him a morphine injector and fixed him up....what the hell are the chances anybody comes across him fairly far out in the woods to begin with?

He had an Alice backpack and he gave me an extra compass that he was carrying and a few slugs for my winny....I am still using that compass and it is handy as hell

I still cant not believe I have found a MP game that I dont hate.....this mod has already set me back $40 for Arma 2, plus I bought the PMC dlc...now I think I am going to invest in a headset.

Be sure to post your cool stories here ....I just love reading what all goes on in this game and what goes thru peoples minds while playing.

Have Fun!

One downside tho. I cannot make surround sound work and I looked everywhere on the net. It would be even more immersive if it did

Uncle Dude · 06-16-2012, 21:56 | posts: 2,078 | Location: USA

Hey Wanny, are you using the beta patch? I hate that they disabled side chat. I tried to revert back, to no avail. I may do a reinstall, as I enjoy the often hilarious banter that scrolls by in-game.

yeah, removal of side chat is a terrible idea.

soundEnableHW=1;
soundEnableEAX=1;

I discovered that the servers that require the 93825 beta do include the side channel, at least the couple I tried.

As I wandered the countryside today I uncovered a good way to forget the horrors of the zombie apocalypse - the time-honored and relaxing pastime of lawn care.

New patch removes the Makarov haha.
Can't wait. Hopefully it will stop some on the early shooting of players and maybe promote some teamwork.

Rough outline of what to expect in the pending update.

I will update this as more stuff is put in. Changelog will then follow it.

Performance and Optimization

- Reduction/elimination of the new server lag. This is caused by the ArmA2 server expecting immediate response from the central server. Vehicles are the main cause of this, as whenever they are damaged everything stops while the server ensures this is recorded in the database.
- Bugs fixed that were possibly causing very significant netcode overhead (will need mass-scale testing to verify this).

Infected Behavior

- Infected can no longer see/attack through walls.
- Entirely new mocap'd attack and running animations

Content

- Additional Idle Infected sounds
- Revised Attack sounds
- Many new action sounds, including IV, bandaging etc...

Notes

- This update will REQUIRE the beta patch, so it is worth installing this now and getting used to it.
- Read up at the BI Forums about the beta patch install. It's pretty easy.

Well guys. This is by far, let's say, the most awesome online experience I ever had in a shooter. No words on how awesome this **** is.

No words.

Surround sound works fine for me, but I have logitech g35 headset with dolby surround sound. Really gives you an advantage when you can hear where people are before you see each other.

Yup, take a look at those "eye and ear" meters - s#*t made me nervous. After the initial thrill of finding the thing and a one minute drive, I was done - way too conspicuous! Although, if I only had my "new spawn" gear, I'd drive that b@tch through downtown Electro and mow down the hordes until I got shot/eaten.

ffs this mod is quite annoying. too many times i dont respawn or spawn in a open field with lots of plays. obviously a bug. so damn annoying. must be the patch, it worked fine yesterday

I downloaded the files, but after spending some time on the DayZ forum, I'll be holding off on installing. As of this moment, I'd say 75% of the players are reporting insane difficulty levels, zombies with super-vision, and insta-zombie-respawn by the dozens, even in "low-risk" areas like deerstands. The intended fixes for the wall and door clipping were not implemented either.

WhiteLightning · 06-17-2012, 09:33 | posts: 20,397 | Location: Netherlands

guys is it normal to only spawn on a large field all the time ? must have tried about 50 times. sometimes its full of not moving players aswell.

Vandrende Pind · 06-17-2012, 09:38 | posts: 1,178 | Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

try to restart? i had the same problem at one point, i kept spawning in the wilderness debug area, and i posted in a thread on the dayz forum. i think one of their guys fixed my character, because the problem went away next time i logged in.

WhiteLightning · 06-17-2012, 09:56 | posts: 20,397 | Location: Netherlands

almost broke my keyboard in two. nothing more annoying then a extremely buggy game and players spawn killing as soon as you spawn.
think ill leave it for a few months when things are better. this is not worth it now.

harkinsteven · 06-17-2012, 15:07 | posts: 1,521 | Location: Ireland

WhiteLightning make sure your running the latest beta patch.

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php.

I recommend using Spirited Machine Arma 2 Launcher or Six Updater to configure the game to use the beta and mod.

Vandrende Pind · 06-17-2012, 15:11 | posts: 1,178 | Location: Copenhagen, Denmark

Arma2 launcher and six updater just make things more complicated IMO. Much easier to manually copy the files.

Wanny · 06-17-2012, 15:15 | posts: 6,937 | Location: Canada, Quebec

I have to admit that I have a hard time playing since that new patch. Some servers are utterly laggy, some doesnt work, some doesnt even load...

no the problem is actually with the latest patch and dayz 1.7.1. they recommend the Build_93701 on the dayz forums. so not 93825

Spawning in a open field (stuck in wilderness),cant use inventory, spawning groups of zombies at once,invisible are all part of the latest patch

im using 1.7.0 now with Build_93701 , and things seem fine most of the time now.

hmm kind of weird. ive tried the latest again, and it did work. but there was no sound now lol.

i wish they had a backup feature so you could easily roll back.
