Bottom left make sure you select internet instead of LAN

Same as. Is that why the server has been pretty dead the last 2 days? I haven't seen a sinner

I knew about that. lol.

All other DayZ servers appear as normal. And it appears in Dayz commander.

Doesn't matter much, As long as I can connect with the IP.

It kind of matters though when there's only ever about 15 players on a server with 60 slots. There's no fun to be had running around up north with no real threat of bumping into a few lads and having a shootout and losing your gear.

Hopefully whatever the problem is it'll be fixed soon. Definitely a few other servers missing too.

There is that. I suppose. lol

With the advent of Choppers, heres some tips
shooting down helicopters may not be such a good idea, because u cant loot the pilot or the crew ( its only possible if they eject before it explodes ) its better to follow the chopper and steal.

Helicopters are fragile. You can ever so gently rub the side of a tree and part(s) of the Helicopter will be orange/red. You can take a CZ 550 and hit the body of the Rotor/Engine and it will be orange/red. Take a AS50 or M107 and shoot the helicopter anywhere.. it'll take less than a clip to take down.

At the moment with the engine the way it is, Choppers will most likely be kept off the map, a player only needs to save it every 24 hours for it to remain in their possession. SO Clans with large numbers of dedicated people will be able to basicly keep the for themselves.

Haven't been on for a few days. Just updated Arma and can't get on the boards server or any server. What version are we on and is there anything else I need to do? There is choppers on the servers now? Sweeeeeeeeeeeettttttttt

TL : DR don't use the sixupdater learn to do it manually.

choppers won't be added till next week and will be done at rockets leisure .

1.7.2.4 is released on a limited basis. for those using six updater you will auto get it. But alot of servers won't update till later 2day/2moro.

FYI if you want to just play on boards server you have to learn how to manually update your client as the boards server will always be at least1/2 days behind before it will be updated. For the simple reason of not breaking the server with a bad patch. Also using the six updater means you can't roll back your client easily if something is wrong. Remember the mod is in alpha and the arma2 updates are beta patches!

The new Arma2 patch has great graphical options in game. You can set the fxaa whilst playing. I just gained a massive visual and frame rate boost by tweaking it. Took me ages to get it right but I think I found the sweet spot for my system.

I will put this up here for players who have a mid range system and want to try gain more fps. Maybe they can try these settings (At your own risk of course, I can't promise anything ). If you want to tweak these from in game you will need the new Arma2 patch which may exclude you from the Boards server and some others until they update.

You can also tweak from the arma2oa.cfg file (Window search for it) but I am not sure what the exact FXAA settings are to mimic my settings here.

Previous settings
Ran smooth but frame rate got a bit choppy when there was a lot going on, esp in close combat. Looked decent.

Texture detail : Normal
Video memory : Default (Always set this to default!)
Anisotropic filtering : Normal
Antialiasing : Normal
Terrain detail : Normal
Objects detail : Normal
Shadow detail : High
HDR : Normal
Post process effects : Disabled

New settings with update applied
Smoother fps even in busy areas, looks much better and more vibrant.

Texture detail : High
Video memory : Default (Always set this to default!)
Anisotropic filtering : Normal
Antialiasing : Off (Huge FPS boost at loss of quality and dept)
Terrain detail : Normal
Objects detail : Normal
Shadow detail : High
HDR : Normal
Post process effects : Low (Adds back in a level of dept and smoothness at a distance, which was lost by disabling AA)
FXAA: Sharp filter : High (Adds a level of sharpness with FXAA)



I have an older mid-range system with 4 Gb's of RAM. Pentium Dual Core E6500 @2.93.
Nvidea GTX8800 with around 1 Gb of ram.

Can we use the new Arma II patch on the Boards server?

Lone Stone

Argh i updated with the six updater today havent played in a while, now i cant get into any server =/

AntiAntiBoardz

Yeh I've not been able to see boards in the list with "IE1" or "Boards" in my filter. Server only shows up when I use remote to force it into the list.

You probably already tried it, but have you switched the bottom left setting from "LAN" to "Internet", as this fixed the problem for me.

Rocket and co seem to to need every server at a certain level before they roll out choppers, likely they have hidden servers that dont meet a certain version level?
we'll see when the IE1 server gets updated.. soon hopefully.

Just picked up an L85A2 AWS off a sniper just outside elecktro, killed 2 and another logged (not on boards ^^), so this guy came to flank me and I just managed to get above him.
Silenced m9 and a load of stanags too ^ ^.
It's the middle of the day on the server, so I was wondering if there's something I need to do to equip infrared? Looks like just your basic NV to me during the day...
