Just bought combined op's and downloading now, should be able to play at some stage tonight. I'll give the boards server a chance and see if I can enjoy it.

Why did he do that? As in why not wait for you to turn up?

Would love to find a ghille, only had a camo so far which aren't too shabby.

He logged out until I got there, pointless lying on the floor of a supermarket, going unconscious every few minutes with a bag full of loot.

How does a wireless connection in rural mayo sound :rolleyes:

Fixed wireless access? I have that in my rural home and it's very solid. Might top out at 3mb but it never goes down and pings are consistent.

UPC in Galway city however is a joke.

Left the server for 15 mins and when I logged back in I was in the wildernes... Now I didnt mind having to run from there back into the map but then some dickhead that spawns in behind me shots me in the back and kills me... What a load of ****!

Kells... · 06-07-2012 09:25PM

That happened to me earlier I spawned in the wilderness but I just left and rejoined and was back were I was originally

I just ran over two guys, one in a ghille. at 5 past eight tonight - 6th july 20:05.

I'd like it if this got the attention of an admin, I believe they disconnected to save their bones. I'll got it on fraps I'll put on youtube.

I never disconnect (unless I'm in a safe place obviously), and it's annoying when others do it.

After the first couple seconds, the rest is just me running around looking for them. Unless they sprinted away and hid in a corner I think they disconnected. I was around that area for a while as I needed a new tyre and never seen any sign of them, but I didn't actually see them disappear.

Notice how one gets thrown in the air, and some zombies disappear.

This is pants, really big pants. Anyone I see tries try to kill me, I thought this would be about cooperating to try and kill and zombies and take out a couple of bandits. Not 39 or 49 other people on the server trying to kill me. Hope they do something to discourage murders and at the very least make bandits look different again

Im sure at some point there will be some penalty for murders, there has be to something, but at least you're getting killed ingame and not in the debug forest or wilderness.. that **** is retarded. They need to be able to see who kills in there so they can ban them fcukers

Whoever the lads at bolata airfield who tried to come at me with the axe , gave you fair warning.

Pretty obvious disconnect. Audibly broke that guy's bones so he wouldn't have gotten away.

SgtBob · 06-07-2012 11:18PM

I had a good/interesting night.

Got killed 2 mins after logging in, after collecting good gear and moving north last night.

Respawned near Elektro, decided to do a quick run through. Killed 2 guys there, sorry guys but I don't take any chances anymore. Though the guy who I hit from inside the house, if you had've moved on I wouldn't have killed you. I wasn't gonna chase you. But you had some good gear, so thanks.

Spent the next couple of hours pilfering the crap out of all the random tents I happened to come across, like winning the DayZ lottery. Thanks for the M107 and the morphine. Needed that!

Then spent a half hour trying to lay a tent, but ffs, it just wouldn't work. So I gave up. :rolleyes:

Then I started desyncing, So I logged out and back in. Had 12000 blood after hunting animals a few hours previous. My blood ended up back at 3000, after my Elektro encounter. So had to spend another hour finding more animals.

dizzywizlw · 06-07-2012 11:27PM

Hey guys,

Just attempted to install the game tonight but having a issue with 6launcher. It's showing servers for a split second then they are dissappearing, any ideas?

What I've do so far:
Granted firewall permissions to Arma2 6launcher Arma2OA etc
Added the various -nosplash -mod=@Dayz in the correct places (did a steam install but put it in the OABeta .cmd file too
Ran 6launcher as an admin.

If it helps, no servers appear on the list in ARMAII, I'm stumped and considering it took me 3 days to download the two games it's a bit :mad:

dan_ep82 · 06-07-2012 11:31PM

Try using the beta shortcut to launch the game instead,its what I do

Thanks, I've tried that, what occurs is that ARMAOA launches windowed and no servers appear at all, and the @dayz is not present although @dayz is on the expansion menu.

Basically: 6launcher shows servers then goes to 0 servers
No version of Arma shows multiplayer servers.

Yeah it's sad behavior, but without server logs and or definitive footage of them logging out it's still just an accusation, I can't be 100% certain they didn't get morphined and hide in a really good spot to bandage then never try to even shoot at me as I ran around in the open, even with such a low possibility.

The exact time that fraps started recording was 2012-07-06 20-04-31-20
If the zombies disappearing is anything to go by I'd predict the exact disconnect time to be 20:04:39, give or take one second.

I've given all the info I can, it's up to Villain on how he wants to proceed.

I think people know they shouldn't disconnect in tough times, by playing within the rules you already have enough opportunities to be evil which is what I love about the game. But "tactical disconnecting" is just wrong and although I have no say, I think people who knowingly do this don't belong on any server. At the same time they should be given warning. Perhaps as a MOTD.

Mance Rayder · 07-07-2012 12:56AM

They should put the disconnect on a timer, for example, when a person chooses to disconnect a 30 second timer starts and when it finishes they are disconnected.

That way people will only do it in a safe place.

Also, for those who kill the program to disconnect, the character should linger for 30 seconds and be kill-able after they have disconnected.

Won't be good for the genuine disconnects due to a crash or intermittent internet connection, but hey, I am sure we can deal with it.

_vti · 07-07-2012 12:59AM

totally shameful behavior!

The disconnecting is getting out of hand lately.

I used to think that broken white capsule icon that pops up whenever you're in a shootout was the anti-disconnect solution. Apparently I was wrong, though I still haven't found out what that is.

I just killed someone a moment ago, when I went to investigate the body there was the sound of flies, but no body. Just a glitch? Or could they have disconnected as they were being killed?

I think thats a fracture, increases the chance of breaking a bone/bleeding... i think...

Mance Rayder · 07-07-2012 01:58AM

There is a chain link that occasionally appears near your vital stats. Sometimes its orange, sometimes red, When its red its usually broken

Does anyone know what it is??

No, it's not the bone. It's like a drug capsule.

That's your connection to the server. Broken red means you've lost connection.

Right click the dayz mod icon in six updater and select create shortcut, then run that to open dayz.

Run each game first after install to the menu. Then apply the addon mod - disco

I tried using 6launcher but its too confusing and not even needed. Here's a much simpler way of doing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=_d86okXipmY

dizzywizlw · 07-07-2012 07:53AM

Appreciate the help, no joy yet.

I was told I didn't have to open up any more ports to run ARMA but I've requested the admin to open up the range 2302 UDP.

However, Steam itself will not show any servers whatsoever so I'm thinking it's a Uni-Firewall problem. That being said, when I realised something else, when I run OA as Dayz, the only thing to tell me it is running is the @dayz, no different skin or anything, just wondering if that's a sign that dayz isn't properly installed.

In a nutshell: 6launcher still show servers for 2 seconds then reverts to 0 servers, steam will not refresh its server list for anything, ARMA has no multiplayer servers appearing. joy

EditManaged to find out that the wonderful IS staff at our Uni have not yet managed to set the network to differentiate between me browsing servers and me attempting to hack the network, thus my current 30minute ban. This may explain matters, I'll attempt to remotely join an ARMA 2 server later, to see if this is the problem.

_vti · 07-07-2012 09:07AM

lol seriously? 30 minute ban for browsing the network?! what kind of idiots are working there?? LOL!

I think though if the icon appears it does affect your hearing. Anytime iv gotten it my hearing in-game reduces alot

_vti · 07-07-2012 10:28AM

Also if you log out with it, you will get punished with that timer thing on login.
