I'll work on getting the OP updated again so people know which Mumble to use and put the proper updater.

[Leckan]

How many servers you tired? I used to get that during the ARMA X issue days but now it's gone completely...are you using sixupdater to launch?

I am away for a few days so I can't try it now but I'll try everything then. I just hope this is just minor problems which will fix itself considering it's an alpha mod and nothing more.

[Acinixys]

Please also post the name of the GAF server

[pa22word]

Oh and can anyone mind sparing some tips on how to find weapons? I really like it thus far based on the 2 and a half hours I've been playing, but I've been doing nothing but wandering aimlessly until a zombie catches my scent, running until I bored, and then respawning once I give up due to me having no means of fighting back. I read that before that at one point you spawned with weapons, and I know I'm new to it all, but it seems like a really poor design choice to remove that aspect tbqh...

[Switters]

Yo, what's the GAF server called? Does it show up on Sixlauncher?

Soloing this is getting me nowhere.... I'd rather be sniped by this community than complete strangers.

I would like to ask for some tips / answers...

1) When there is a "medical-cross" in my blood meter, it means i am bleeding and have to use a bandage to stop it, right?

2) Why the image begins to turn gray? Thats because i lost too much blood? What do i have to do, to put it back to normal?

3) When do i know i have to be concerned about drink and food? And how the temperature works? If I run it goes high, and if i stop it cools down?

4) When am i supposed to use the painkillers?

Btw, if anybody has a good WRITTEN tutorial talking / teaching some of the game mechanics i would really appreciate... i really dont like the youtube videos, since it takes forever to just teach a single thing.

Tks!

1) Yes.

2) You've lost too much blood. You have to eat food (cans or cooked meat) or get another player to do a blood transfusion on you (the other player needs a bloodbag to do it).

3) When the Canteen icon and Knife&Fork icon turns red, that's when you should start think about eating/drinking. As long as you are moving around, your temp meter will stay at 42. If you standing still and you're not inside a building your temperature will slowly decrease. When it goes below 36 you are likely to get an infection and you'll need to find antibiotics to remove it. If you start sneezing a lot, then you have an infection.

4) When your screen is shaking a lot (in first person). The shaking might happen when a zombie hits you or when another player shoots you.

[TheNiX]

Only eat/drink when the icons start flashing otherwise you're wasting a precious resource. Even after it starts flashing you have a little bit of time before it starts eating away at your health.

1) OMG you're bleeding. Better bandage that shit up son!
2) OMG you lost a lot of blood, yo!
3) Yo, is that shit flashing red? Better eat some beans and grab a refreshing pepsi son!
4) Damn son, you took a beating. Why are your hands shaking when you try to sight your gun? Better pop some pills kid.

This piece of internet has been invaluable thus far. http://dayzdb.com/ It totally spoils the sense of discovery, but fuck all those people better armed than me, waiting for me to walk by so they can caps me down. I ain't here for that.

The game is trial and error - apparently big barns with whiteish walls and red roofs often are a good place - in towns churches...that's all I know lol

[legacyzero]

Yep, I think I'll be online tonight! Missed you DayZ.

[LiquidMetal14]

I was reading the mumble comment earlier about the one who came in with 3 people in and they muted him. It was late so I know I wasn't there but to be also fair, we have more newcomers in here so I know us regulars can't really vouch for the character of everyone who's coming in. I know most of the good guys who play on there never really mute anyone unless somehow they ramble on.

[big_z]

so i bought combined arms off steam and today it lists arma2 and arrow head separately in my games list. is this normal? do i have to install both or just arrow head? seems odd that an expansion is 7GB.

I'm not even sure who has admin access on the main GAF mumble server, but I'm not sure why they would be in the DayZ room or why they would mute random people.

Right click on Operation Arrowhead and click "Launch Combined Operations".

[jerpdoesgames]

Whatever was recently introduced with these intermittent 30-second desyncs is terrible. My group got a car and managed to drive it from Stary Sobor to Elektro before everyone froze mid-drive and when the game resumed we were all nearly dead and unconscious around the flaming wreck.

And that was after narrowly avoiding a cow that showed up in the middle of the night crossing the road.

Also sucks that the times after gutting an animal, dropping gear, etc. before you can pick it up has gone from maybe a second or two to at least half a minute.

Every attempt to enjoy this game has been met with a swift kick in the dick.

A rabbit crossed the road while I was on a bike heading out from Stary earlier and I died instantly on contact, being thrown 5 or 10 meters off the bike and onto the side of the road.

[RadioActiveLobster]

That's normal. When you launch OA as "Combined Ops" it will load the ArmA 2 content

[big_z]

That's normal. When you launch OA as "Combined Ops" it will load the ArmA 2 content

but do i still have to download both arma2 (8GB) and OA (7GB)?

[edible_candle]

but do i still have to download both arma2 (8GB) and OA (7GB)?

Yes you do. Here's a guide for installing the mod:

[goonergaz]

Yes - ARMA2+OA = Combined Operations (which is what you need to play DayZ)

[Ysiadmihi]

Finally got it running. So far I'm having a blast. Finding food and water in a house you just escaped into at the last possible second is pretty thrilling.

[butts]

Just picked up Arrowhead yesterday so now I can finally play this. In terms of player interaction, is it normally hostile or helpful? Should you shoot on site at the first opportunity or generally try to be peaceful?

[ZenVolta]

Affected Addons: * dayz_code * dayz_server (server) * HiveEXT.dll (server) Target date: * Wednesday 25 July 2012 (GMT) Current Changelog (WIP): * [NEW] Respawn button is disabled during DayZ play * [NEW] Optimized authentication process on login * [NEW] Singleplayer mode disabled when DayZ is loaded * [NEW] DayZ Logo and Version Number appear in game when DayZ is loaded * [NEW] Hive now tracks login/logout (for use with preventing ALT+F4) * [FIXED] Infected cannot hear weapon firing (now they actually hear again) * [FIXED] Clothing no longer spawning (now it spawns as it used too) This is not a final list.

I knew ghillie suits were broken. Damn it. Iv spent all this time looking for it.

And zombies cant hear gunfire? Thats gotta be wrong.

[TheNiX]

Respawn button removed and ALT+F4 logging? This is going to be good. I shall call this update 1.7.2.4: The death of Slopeslider.

[Soka]

So is the Mumble info in the OP the correct one?

[legacyzero]

Damming I was hoping for more DayS rookie to come in here complaining about accidently hitting the respawn lol.

Been there done that.

[Woo-Fu]

And zombies cant hear gunfire? Thats gotta be wrong.

yeah, I don't know wtf he is talking about unless that is an intermittent issue. The Lee Enfield dinner bell still attracts every zombie within 400+ meters, it seems like.

As far as login/logout tracking I don't see that doing anything about alt-f4. I do see it potentially causing an issue for server hopping for loot.

[Parallacs]

My group got a car and managed to drive it from Stary Sobor to Elektro before everyone froze mid-drive and when the game resumed we were all nearly dead and unconscious around the flaming wreck.

I don't know why but this was hilarious to me.

My experiences with DayZ have been frustrating so far. I was trying to figure out the game before joining friends. I ended up dying like 10 times before I got a weapon.

I finally got a pistol, map, compass, watch, upgraded pack and a ton of food/bandages/drinks/medication from the hotel in Cherno. As I was leaving town, I see a bandit just shuffling around. He comes up and I hear drinking and reloading. He says "I could have killed you at any time buddy". I don't know why but I shoot my pistol like 4 feet to the right of his head. He guns me down with his AK but I shoot him a few times. I find my way back to my corpse an hour later and the only thing I wanted (the map) was gone.

Are maps hard to get in the game?

Somewhat. They all share the same spawns as the compass and the watch. But, they are much more valuable than either of those.

[Atomski]

So staged.

as in the guys in the bus staged it? I dont think the player or andy had any idea what was going on.

[cametall]

How do you respawn after dying? Right now I'm having to exit the server and rejoin it.

Clicking respawn just says I've been killed (as if I spawned an immediately died).

[TheNiX]

So is the Mumble info in the OP the correct one?

Likely not. I haven't asked to have the OP updated in awhile.

How do you respawn after dying? Right now I'm having to exit the server and rejoin it. Clicking respawn just says I've been killed (as if I spawned an immediately died).

You have to use the abort button, go back to the lobby of the server and login again.

[WedgeX]

The death of spawn rouletting??? Yes!

[ZenVolta]

Edit: Beaten

I wonder if everyone having to Disconnect and reconnect all the time is causing the lag/desync. I know thats gotta be putting strain on the server and @Hive

[Parallacs]

Yeah, this is frustrating. It needs to be streamlined in the future. I just click on Abort, then press the Escape key instead of disconnecting or exiting from the server. Then click OK. I figured this out after leaving like 10 servers.

[SpudBud]

I'm not even sure who has admin access on the main GAF mumble server, but I'm not sure why they would be in the DayZ room or why they would mute random people.

I was using the old Mumble with 2 fellow GAFers who are new to the game. Didn't mean to offend by muting. Just thought most regular Dayz players were using the new mumble and we just just assumed if someone showed up they would be a troll of some sort. We were probably a little too quick mute though. Sorry about that. :/

[Quikies83]

A devastating hack on the gaf server has a funny way of bringing people together over a campfire.

At first, we were like:

But then:

[Shark Johnson]

Respawn button is disabled during DayZ play

Guess I'm done with this game.

[SalsaShark]

server fixed? safe to go in?

[legacyzero]

Guess I'm done with this game.

Fraid of death there, junior??

[Woo-Fu]

Fraid of death there, junior??

I'd say he isn't afraid of death, is afraid of spawning in the middle of nowhere.

[legacyzero]

I'd say he isn't afraid of death, is afraid of spawning in the middle of nowhere.

That would make ME afraid of death. Lol

[PjotrStroganov]

Looks like there is a hacker spree going on. Our forum server also got hacked, as well as another local server.

[Hylian7]

Bravo! I remember when the first person was climbing the ladder to that roof they could just see blood pouring off of it. Then we all heard a whole bunch of flies buzzing as we got closer.

[PjotrStroganov]

Okay another server we frequently log into also has hackers running around. Is there a new script out that circumvents cheat countermeasures?

[SalsaShark]

damn I really wanna play. Should I jump in on another server or what? (it saves your stuff/location correct?) if so can you guys recommend anyone in particular?

[SalsaShark]

well fuck, shouldnt have entered today


got in, zombie somehow knocked me down on one hit, killed me

all the work I did yesterday lost :(

[Enduin]

Welcome to Chernarus. Wait till you have the same character for a good week with top gear and then see how paranoid you become about everyone/thing and then see how depressed you get when you eventually do die.

[Megasoum]

Yup, was fun playing with you guys last night even if I didn't get to do much between the crazy axe murdered kiling me and Stryke and then the hacker screwing up the whole server lol.

[zon]

But don't worry, after the third of fifth time it won't be as bad anymore!
