Had I stuck around I probably would Have ended up dead. I'll now be spawning in a small patch of trees there. Maybe we can all secure one again? Where was the fuel pump anyway?!

no. Every time this shit happens it stays there for like 3-4 minutes and then goes on.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
So I downloaded and installed both ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead from Amazon. What should I do next to successfully install DayZ? I see there's a new updater as well as that older installation guide pic. Which do I go with?

Another few hours, another few installs -
These errors happen every time I launch the modded shortcut to enable DayZ -
Addon 'dayz_code' requires addon 'CABuildingParts'
No Entry '\binconfigbin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'
I can load up the server browser past those two dialogs but get this every fuckin time -
You cannot play/edit this mission. It is dependant on downloadable content thathas been deleted.chenarus
No, I haven't deleted any downloadable content. For fucks sake.

Did you copy over the Chernarus content from ArmA 2 to OA? I think you have to do that.

Don't overwrite. (Overwriting makes it still playable, but it breaks the UI for bags, settings and other stuff)

You can only enter about 10% of all houses in the game, less maybe. Most enterable structures are in the big cities. If a door can be opened, you see an appropriate icon. Doors are open by default, but some players close them for some reason when leaving. You can recognize enterable normal houses by the windows, they're see-through.

Only certain building can open.
The ones that CAN will show a Green arrow icon on the screen as you approach the door.

Will try this right now. Re: overwriting the files, what naming convention do I use if I'm not replacing any of these files?

Naming convention? Just skip instead of overwriting. Copy the files over and skip duplicates.

kk will do, cheers for the tips!

There is nothing happening. Tried multiple servers now. Waited like 10 minutes in each.
First its receiving data with a slowly filling bar, then its creating a character, then it loads something and then Im stuck at receiving data ...

Alt-Tab to GAF, read a couple of threads, make fun of weird stuff. It takes a while. Especially the first time.
My adventures in this game so far are probably mundane by gaf standards, but damn if it wasn't a lot of fun.
I started on the beach at night, threw some flares to see where I was going, and stumbled up a hill/mountain and accidentally ate all my food and drank my water before logging off.
This morning I found a farmhouse containing a winchester. After that I stumbled back into the forest trying to find water. I found a pond but couldn't figure out how to refill my canteen even while wading through the water. Then I got disconnected from the laggy server I was on.

Hey wolfmat, that did it mate! Cheers!!
Played a bit - night time/heavy rain. Accidentally let off two flares and ran away shit scared heh!! Found 3 corpses fumbling around on the shore line. The flies gave it away. Anyway, thanks again as I was getting a bit put off about the install saga.

I seem to remember hearing the words "Dont worry Legacy, nobody ever comes up this way"God damn.
Just found a car WITH a spare engine part in it. Drove it all the way up to the chopper we were repairing and got shot by two guys there
LOL damn.
Doesn't matter now. Server has reset and the car, helicopter and tent are gone.
Sometimes puking things up is finicky, takes a little moving around it for the option to pick up to show. As far as the Alice pack hit 'g' to go to gear, highlite the Alice pack and hit 'open bag' to fill it, you click the arrow pointing to the left of your other gear and you'll see the capacity of the Alice pack drop fro 20/20 to 19/20 etc til it's filled.
Seems like the helicopter and tent (and your car) didn't disappear after all
If thats the same server we started with last night, that thing has restarted at least 3 times now and it hasnt reset anything, which is wonderful.
Wait really? Diman said it had all vanished.
Ahahaha Mickey "That was an excellent way to die" lol.
Where's the fun in that? Look at all the enjoyment that explosion has bought to the interwebs! =D

Not sure why but i'm laughing at this more than i should be.

hide your water-based mammals
I'm going to attempt to get on around 8 EST tonight so I can get a few hours with the crew.
Haha wow they want to update to 1.5.8 today and were going to do it during the lull period earlier in the day, except the lull period never happened and the games been at a near constant like 6500 players all day. So if they try now the servers will likely get obliterated when all 6500 people try and log back in at the same time.
If you swim, you can lose your backpack. It's not a bug, though. It's a feature from ARMA II. I'm not sure I can come to terms with the fact that a 50-pound pack will sink someone that can literally run forever.
Can you actually carry more than one of these? I tried putting an extra knife into my inventory but it didn't move. Figured I just wasn't allowed to carry extras but I wouldn't be surprised to hear it was just a wonky server.
You should be able to put them in your backpack

I have been belly down on the same sniper perch location for the past 3 days.
I have killed 9 survivors this way then quickly dashed down to take their delicious beans.
The equipment the survivors have has kept me full and content they have also provided me with ammo.
I just hate running down 650 meters to their corpses.

Same here :/
Beaches full of gunfire. Survivors succumbing to the dead. Shamblers swarm a survivor before my eyes. I drop them. We enter a barn, two other survivors having sheltered there. The dead approach from all sides. Gunfire only brings more. The wails cease. Triumphant, we four.
Supplies exchanged. "BLAM" yells one. Darkness greets me.
Cracks of rifles. Cherno to my West. Not certain death there, but it holds not my hopes, dreams. Killing over supplies while the dead consume the remaining tempts not. Lightly patrolled barns are my haunts. North. As best I can manage. I come across a fortified castle. Barbed wire keeps these grounds safe. A survivor approaches! A stranger to this fort as well. We exchange pleasantries, dispatch shamblers, and go our separate ways.
Novy! Gibs watches my approach, keeping survivors away. Wizzard joins. We clear houses, barns, stables. Rifles, supplies! Enduin, Indigo and Gibs make their way across the fields. We gather more supplies. Gibs and I out in a yard, Enduin, Wizzard and Indigo in an adjacent house. We overhear Wizzard talking to Gibs. Gibs and I know that it is not Gibs that is being addressed. Gunfire erupts! Wizzard and a bandit assailant lay dead.
We retreat to the woods. A crashed helicopter! No crewmen, survived or shambling, near. I'd dreamed of taking to the skies, temporarily safe from the tearing of flesh by bullet and tooth.
Gibs continues his hunt of survivors. Enduin leads Indigo and I towards Krasnostav. We are swarmed in one town. Out in this northern town, two other survivors creep. We head north once more, knowing that Stump has secured Devil's Castle. Miles we cover. No survivors, no civilization. Out of a clearing a......dam?
Krasnostav lays to our east. Nearer than Stunt. We search the airfield. Easy going during the day. We retire for the night. Enduin awakes. Something now sits in the hangars that were previously cleared.
Hope. A way out. These shamblers cannot fly. Yet. Easy to save others, trapped atop rooftops. Hunkered in the farthest reaches. This agent of hope requires repairs. Fuel. We again secure this airfield, although it is not without peril.
Enduin continues his sweeps across the airfield and nearby town. Gathering supplies that overwhelm a tent that this chopper held. Stunt joins Indigo and I in holding this creature of the sky. A call goes out to fellow gaffers. From across the land they travel. AJ, Broken, BS, Krappa, Mob, liquid, legacy, wizzard. Scavenging parts that we may escape this land of death. Metal, able to fly, skirts carefully along the roads of this dead land. Experience enough, perhaps, to secure our flight. For hours we keep the field secure, the dead never overwhelming. Our barricades protecting.
Gaffers trickle in. A man appears in the pilots seat. A survivor, silent. We question, but no responses. Wizzard, Enduin and I head off to the town, supplies our goal. The man flees the chopper, Indigo in pursuit. Leaving the stranger with a slug in his leg. I hear of gaffers gathering much needed medical supplies. At the airstrip we hunt for food. Others gather fuel. Stunt has undertaken the dangerous journey to the south of this city, jerry cans in hand. Stunt ever faithful, while Enduin and I remain.
Finally we are gathered. Confusion surrounds the repair of this helicopter. No avionic mechanics among us. One jerry can is poured in the Huey. Its blades lifts it off the ground! I jump on, rather than miss this event. Fuel leaks. It returns to the ground once more. Parts break. Frustration, fleeting hope. Thoughts that this beast will not leave the ground once more. We discover a fueling station within walking distance of the hangar. As the confusion fades into the night, a supply chain emerges. We guard it jealously, rifles dispatching the shamblers. They seeming insignificant now. Who fears death when man can fly.
Ready. Enough so that we may find a remote clearing. The chopper sits just inside the hangar. We, unable to wheel it out. It must fly. Almost too close to the edge to fly. Metal readies himself as we empty the hangar. Far enough that any mishaps within the choppers home will claim only one of us. I record the tales of men while Krappa records the sights. We two, to chronicle this flight away from the dead. The chopper lifts. Majestic, even while hovering. Creating its own storms. It clears the hangar door. Then shock sets in. Its nose tips. Far above us. It pounces. My vision fails me. Then returns, all red. Ringing in my ears. Through red I see the chopper turn, end over end.
Death welcomes me. Still in shock, no processing is allowed. But there are other worlds than this.
(thanks Mickey & Krappa)

And this fucking game... I just killed my first survivor. I mistakenly drank my water and ate all my food, so when I saw this dude running along the coast I knew I had to kill him. As he kept running, I had to follow him a bit and then started shooting. I managed to kill him, but I also attracted some zombies and I had to use all my bullets to drop them down.
I got confused with the gear menu and I couldn't loot the guy. I was very excited (anxious) so I logged off hahahaha.
GODDAMN.
