You need to remove all the items, bandages and such, around the medical boxes to be able to get the morphine and blood-bags that are inside the boxes.

If the box is empty then select 'rearm medical box'

Doesn't rearm medical box just move everything in the box into your inventory? That's what rearming a backpack does. Good way to lose a lot of inventory items if it moves the box items in your inventory.

Waiting for the server to update

SgtBob

I was on last night, dead as a dodo.. 4 people on the server. lol.

So I thought perfect opportunity to hit the military loots.

Found nothing..

Grrr, I reinstalled Windows and now I can't get DayZ working again!

I just can't seem to make it launch from steam. When I follow the instructions from the Wiki I just keep getting a "Windows cannot find (programe location) type error. And for some reason Sixlauncher will only launch 1.60 through Steam. So frustrating. I remember why I got so frustrated with PC gaming years ago.

daz801

So after a few hours play the most I ever got before being killed was a pistol, a few cans of beans, few spare bandages and pain killers. At this point i fell foul to man who declared himself friendly then proceeded to shoot me in the back :mad:! Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. I will not turn my back on someone as quickly ever again. On the other hand i received a nice act of charity when someone took out a few zombies from afar that were chasing me but I did not see him and he did not approach me.

So on that note, anyone wanna help a newb out?

Did you by chance back up your steam folder,then move it over when re-installing arma?

If you did steam will keep trying to boot from the old file location (your back up)

If so,go to C:/program files (x86)/Steam and delete everything in there.

Then copy only the steamapps folder and steam.exe from your back up location and paste to to C:/program files (x86)/Steam

Then run steam.exe once.
It will auto update (2-3 minutes) adjusting the paths etc.
Then right click on Arma II > Properties > Local Files Tab > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.
Do this for Operation Arrowhead aswell.

Then run both games once. Then re-apply your dayz mods.

I had a nightmare of a time getting it working

I filter for " IE" to get both.

IE returns about 100+ servers, filter for "Ireland" to get only the 2 boards servers.

+1, ping higher than usual but still only in the 100's. Had a good bit of lag tonight aswell for some reason.
Had some guy run into the Cherno apartments with about 20 Zombies in tow. He had a crowbar, me a Lee Enfield. Took most of my ammo. Agreed friendly and fair play he stuck to it. First time a friendly actually was.

a lot of people are getting kicked off randomly with 95208

Zeds dont seem to be clipping properly through buildings.. seem to be walking/crawling under the floor

cocoshovel

Also whenever I approach large building my graphics seem to mess up, sending big pointy grey textures flying all over the place. Weird.

I've done that. I'm just about to give up on this tbh. It's too frustrating. When I try and run directly from the run AO beta shortcut in the folder it comes up with error creating direct 9 something or other. Nightmare!

Tried reinstalling DX from the Microsoft site? Steam is supposed to do this the first time you run Arma II in steam.

Nice to see a full server again!

Not nice being stuck at "Waiting for character to create" again :P

just lost some nice booty in Mogilevka, i shouted friendly down the mike and typed it, but i guess I should have taken no response as Not Friendly...:eek:

I may start shooting first as I had sights on 2 of them at one point... if reading this yee were lucky!

Lone Stone

I was surviving for a good two hours there avoid the big cities looting food and drink looking for a gun with my axe wound up near cherno decided id scout around the outskirts before i head in and got sniped !

Ah well.

Yeah if you don't talk to me over your microphone I'm going to shoot you. I think someone who talks to you is less likely to kill you.

I had wondered what that was. It's kept me away from the tower in Balota.

alpomb wrote: »

Agreed; bloody dangerous though. I'd like to see less of the kill on sight cr**. I tend to carry blood bags and it would be nice to see trading in transfusions more. Especially far from Cherno. It's pretty much a waste of space carrying them if no mates are on.

Ryan451

Is there anything that can be done to rectify the waiting for character to create issue?

cocoshovel

I just scoured the entire of cherno. Ran around the streets, raided supermarket, went up on top of the church and looked around for a good 5 minutes, routed through houses, checked hospitals, let off a few shots with my guns, and I have seen or heard absolutely nobody! Its too quiet in cherno. I left it now so dont be looking

therealwillie

yeah haven't bee able to get in for the past 40 minutes, hive problem?
