Yes. And be careful. Flares attract bandits. You need to find a flashlight or a chem light.
I know, but how am I supposed to find anything if I can't see anything? I don't get it

Arma2 + Combined Ops downloaded through SPRocket.
Hey guys, need some help:
Downloaded Arma2, installed path to: F:\Games\ArmA2
Downloaded AO, installed, same path, I see files such as in arma2OA in ArmA2 container.
Downloaded all bits of Dayz and installed to: F:\Games\ArmA2\@dayz\Addons
including old folder (under Addons) which I believe it not required.
Used the spirit launcher to load @Dayz and combined Ops. Comes up correctly as expansion.
Tried to join any DayZ server. Recieve "connecting failed" error. No more info. Any help?
That's the exact same error I'm getting, and all I could find were people saying you had to forward ports.

I plan to play with a gaffer tonight. I'll try to live stream it.any live streams??? hope Criken comes back for another night release. That was epic they were being hunted in the woods at around 12am-2am EST...LOL.
After trying for an hour or so I just got in on a server, but night in this game is really pitch black, you can't see shit without flares. Is it supposed to be like that?
Americans pronounce it "Zee" not "Zed".
I HAVE A MAP! AND A COMPASS! AAAAANNND A MOTHERFUCkeR WATCH! I AM THE LORD OF DAYZ! BOW BEFORE ME...shit im dead.
well FUCK... fuckity FUCK, FUCK IT ALL!!! god damn router won't let me back in. :'(
I have a GPS and Binoculars
I've got a feeling that might not be what's wrong though, because I can connect to ARMA2 servers fine, it's just OA servers I have a problem with. If it is, I'm basically fucked since my router is awful for stuff like forwarding ports, it doesn't let you do anything.
Is your game updated to the latest version?
So self troubleshooting guide:
So I can connect to certain servers.
Confirmed can connect to Arma2 servers no problem.
Can connect to some OA servers in the list. When doing a search most have Xs next to the server name. :|

Had the most insane session last night playing with 3 other buddies over mumble.
The night started off with all three of us eventually dying outside Elektro - overrun by zombies while trying to fill our water bottles at a nearby shore. After respawning in different parts of the world we decided to meet in Bor (or as we like to call it, Bor bot). At around this time a fourth member of our team finally installed the mod, determined to find us, but was still figuring out the controls and getting killed in the process. So there we were, myself, fromthefuture, tomat and conceptor all trying to get to Bor in the middle of the night with nothing to guide us but the moonlight and a rough idea of where we started. I started on the southern end of Elektro - a coastal town on the southeast corner of the map - widely known for its rampant bandit population. I don't think I've been more tense than when I snuck through that town trying to avoid both zombies and gunfire. Eventually I made it to the outskirts only down two bullets and up two dead zombies, a few bandages and 3 cans of coke thanks to a mercifully deserted warehouse that I stumbled upon. I ran into the woods and never looked back heading in a direction I hoped to be west.
Fromthefuture and Tomat spawned in southwest corner of the map at a town called Kamenka. Fromthefuture (henceforth known as FtF) ran into another player, identified as a survivor, called Deemon. With safety in numbers the three of them scrounged what they could in Kamenka finding a lot of supplies such as food, water and flares. While looting the city they killed more than a dozen zombies with each bullet often attracting more and more. Deemon seemed to relish in killing them - often opening fire on them even when they weren't a current threat. He then began to throw flares to light up the city in an attempt to find more zombies, possibly attracting bandits to their location. Ammo counts were dwindling and it seemed as though Deemon had lost his mind. He had become a liability and Tomat made a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life - he shot Deemon in the head. On impulse Tomat hid the body not realizing that this makes the corpse unlootable. Whether he did this out of guilt or fear we may never know - but we do know that his response to the act was "sorry". And so our two fearless members headed north-northeast to Bor.
After what seemed like an eternity I came out of the woods at a crossroads with a road sign. Excited at the prospect of not actually being completely lost I looked at the sign - 1 kilometer east to Bor. I had made it and I could only hope my friends would do the same. I waited for them at the highest point just west of Bor and stayed prone near the road concealing myself from any wayward bandits. It was then I also realized that I was starving and had no food. Being reassured that my friends had food and were on their way I had no choice but to wait and hope they find me. About 5 minutes later I heard a gunshot from behind my vantage point. Confident in my hiding spot I did not move and a few moments later two people ran right past me out onto the open road. Upon identification a wash of relief flooded over me - I had found my friends.
The three of us then proceeded into Bor and upon finding nothing of value we ventured north upon a dirt path aiming to get to the airfield in hopes of finding weapons or a vehicle. After exploring another village with nothing to gain we came upon a small electrical station with a shed and radio tower at the top of an incline. Tomat proceeded to scout ahead while we waited by the path. Suddenly we heard gunfire and screams... zombie screams. A horde of zombies rushed us at once; There must have been at least a dozen of them. Attempts to connect with Tomat were met in failure as we defended ourselves. I could only assume he was already dead. With only 4 bullets left between myself and FtF and both of us low on blood we finally finished off the last of the horde and moved up to the shed dreading what we would find. In a strange turn of events we found about 5-6 zombies trapped at the top of the radio tower and, upon further inspection, the corpses of about 3 zombies and Tomat at the bottom of the tower. It turns out after expending the rest of his ammo Tomat climbed the tower in hopes of luring the rest of the zombies after him and then jumping off. He hoped they would follow his leap off the tower to add their deaths to his own. We mourned his loss and were sure that we would soon follow him to the afterlife.
We continued north (or what we assumed to be north) towards the airstrip only to run into more trouble. Ambushed once again by zombies we used our last bullets and ran. Following a main road we arrived at a military base where FtF came up with the plan that he would lure the zombies around while I scrounged for a weapon. I sprinted into the first building I could and ran up its winding staircase. At the very top I found exactly what I needed, an AK-47. It wasn't until after I looted it that I realized that it had no ammo and that some of the zombies had come after me. I made a hasty retreat down a ladder that went from the roof to the ground level and searched the nearby warehouses. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Running back out to the open area in front of the military base I saw that FtF was slowing down. During his kiting he had been hit and was slowly bleeding to death. I made a desperate move and attempted to lure the zombies off him so he could bandage himself. This was a mistake as I only succeeded in training a few of the zombies on my own person and the rest on FtF. We were both going to die. I proceeded to run down the main road in hopes of finding help and after about a minute my friend proclaimed that he had passed out and that the zombies were eating him. Shedding a single tear I ran on down the road - completely lost and alone in the world with the exception of a few zombies nipping at my heels. I'm not sure how long I ran down that road but it felt like an eternity. My only salvation would be an open building with usable ammo inside and I wasn't sure the zombies would give me a chance to reload my weapon even if my luck would stretch that far. Ahead I finally spotted my first building, a gas station. With renewed resolve I sprinted forward aiming straight for the open building at the back of the station. Just as I turned past the fuel tanks and aimed for the doorway to the building I saw a man staring right back at me. I had found Conceptor.
I'm in the UK and I didn't get it :lolAmericans pronounce it "Zee" not "Zed".
