Are they of any help with the zeds?

No help at all, but zeds are rarely an issue, it's always people that you need to worry about.

We finally made it to the airport attracted every zed in the place, killed about 30 in the fire station before making the run to the control tower and safety. I'd imagine if there were other survivors there they would have had a million chances to take us out.

It really makes sense to have at least 1 buddy, especially when there's no buildings around, because one can shoot the zeds that chase the other and vice versa.

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

Sometimes it just happens for no reason, I've logged out many times completely safe, not hurt, but then when I log in I have the timer for 5mins.

Anyone know what time it gets bright on the Boards server? (I know this has probably been asked before, I'm lazy and don't wanna be alt-tabbed too long

FlyingIrishMan · 07-07-2012 12:44PM

The day/night system doesn't seem to work very well. The time is rarely the same for two people and then after a server restart its usually always day.

Its a pity it doesnt do longer days and shorter nights like summer time...
it would be good staying bright until 11ish, getting bright again at 4ish...

Nevermind, dead!

Was wandering around, starving to death, trying to find food in the west, and ended up almost walking into a silent Z as I came out a door!

The controles are weird, Im messing around in bootcamp at the moment. Is their anyway to edit the controles so i can turn left and right with the mouse instead of using end & page down =/

Was trying to turn around for ages in boot camp

FlyingIrishMan · 07-07-2012 01:13PM

Sick of this disconnecting bull****.
Shot a guy in starry at 1:10, saw him hit the ground and then he disappeared.

The mouse should be what turns you left and right??

These are the basic controls, there are more in the options menu, but this is what you will be using.

The server needs a restart every few hours so once an admin comes online it'll restart to day time.

Hopefully once its out of alpha this and other bugs will be fixed so you know what time it will be by the time of day. Makes it easier to tell the shadow direction.

wasd keys moves your lower body. The mouse moves your upper body. If I am understanding you correctly then it looks like you have some weird set-up. Try resetting the key bindings.

For some unknown reason I can't go into third person. Pressing enter on the number pad does nothing! It worked yesterday and I haven't changed any settings wtf

there are several toggle keys which can throw you off. if you double tap alt it locks the mouse into mouselook allowing you to move your head around to see whats around you. the alternate is mouse turn.

Some servers have third person disabled.

Thats a different bug though. If you just log out and you have the shock icon, your definitely logging back in with the egg timer.

The basic movement controls are like any other FPS. End and page down to turn doesn't sound right at all.

Maybe reset your settings. Go to yourname\Documents\ArmA 2\ and delete yourname.ArmA2OAProfile and ArmA2OA.cfg.

That should change everything to defaults. If that doesn't help then you can manually set the control in the game menu, Options > Controls.

Got shot in the back 20 minutes later

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.

My old thompson router was like that, it had some built in "anti-hack measures" that were triggered when I try to browse the server list on a lot of games. It would either drop my connection or restart all together. Very infuriating, I'm on BT infinity now they tried giving me another thompson router I laughed and installed my netgear one.

I made it all the way to the NW airfield from cherno on foot. I was going into the barracks to find a decent gun but a zombie saw me so I had to shoot him, I can hear loads of zombies coming so I run into a little room with only 1 door and I think grand, they all come through that door and I can kill them easily i have loads of ammo. But somehow a zombie that is outside the building starts hitting me from behind through the f*cking wall! He breaks my leg in 1 hit and I fall to the ground. I turn around and kill (also through the wall) him but then for some reason I can't turn back to face the door so all the other zombies kill me

Broken game is broken.

its in alpha m8. if you don't know what that means look it up.

wait till you spawn in the middle of nowhere losing all your stuff. Game is buggy and they will fix them, but as they fix they will add more content hence being in alpha and as result it may fubar other current stuff that works.

MadYaker · 07-07-2012 03:57PM

I know what alpha means, hopefully the beta will be a bit better. Also bullets often seem to have delayed effects on zombies, im not sure if thats the game or just interp lag

Laviski · 07-07-2012 03:59PM

its still a long way off if rocket wants to put all his ideas into fruition

Mrdata. · 07-07-2012 04:00PM

Is the server dark for everyone? Bit strange at 4 pm.

dizzywizlw · 07-07-2012 04:02PM

Little quandary seems to be fixed. 30 minute ban every time I refresh any server list BUT I can enter remote access to receive a 'wait for server message' that lasted over an hour before I quit. Only other problem was a 'wrong version' message.

Hopefully it will work soon.

FlyingIrishMan · 07-07-2012 05:05PM

I have 4 STANAG SD mags for anyone who wants them.

dizzywizlw · 07-07-2012 05:30PM

Got it working using remote access.

Well working as in a permanent 'loading' screen well either that or 'Bad Connection' despite same version. Baby steps.:o

Mr Blobby · 07-07-2012 05:30PM

I have a ghillie suit if anyone wants it but you'd have to offer me something good.

Also i would need your civilian clothes ( Don't want to be running around naked )

But before all that i will have to find a town because i'm in the middle of nowhere....

You wont be able to swap unless the other person brings you a civilian clothes package.
