    If you want a proper one you'll need to register with the DayZ team.

    No Lan or offline version legit, there are hacked versions. But it would ruin the entire game if you knew everyone on the server.

    Loads of Zombie/survival missions on BI official forums that work on lan or normal mode.

    Here are some other good servers I play on when IE1 is unavailable.

    THey are all regular difficulty, and Crosshair off.

    DE 281 germandayz.de - MrLiNk
    DE101 EU7 - Hosted by = Olut= SISU(olutta.org) - day-z.fr
    DE104 EU10 - Hosted by = Olut = SISU - ALways Friendly (They are not always friendly :P )

    So if any of you are at a loss try these servers. (Just type the first part into the search/Filter)

    Last night was weird, two barns, 15 axes. 10 backpacks in one supermarket. Spotted a white ****box driving down the road next to me (I was in cover) started to line up a shot and the car stopped. No driver. Bit spooky but I give it a moment. Then from a standstill the car does a 180 and starts driving back up the road still no driver. I had to run to the edge of the road to get a shot and when I zoomed in again there he was.

    Alas the running threw my aim off and I only managed to land a couple of shots on the car.

    "waiting for host" is what I get when I try to connect to every server now. Where abouts would I revert to the previous update?

    Yeah that problem with loot happens sometimes. You can only find axes, backpacks and car parts. When you see this happening it's best to move to a different server. Yesterday was the first time in a while I seen it happen on IRE1 and makes it pointless staying on that server.

    Is it that the server needs a reset or what? Very annoying.

    From what I have learned, loot and what it spawns is a factor of the player, rather than the server.

    Loot wont spawn in unless there is a player present.

    Server needs a restart every few hours, all servers do.

    Yesterday myself and a friend decided to take our first trip to the NE Airfield. After what seemed like an hour straight running we made it to the forest just west of it when out of the blue both of our legs break at the exact same time.

    We were a good 20 yards apart running on flat ground and no morphine between us. Fuck you DayZ, fuck you!!!

    Server needs a restart every few hours, all servers do.

    They should do an automatic restart every 6 hours so right? Seen other servers do it. 12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm. Everyone knows it's coming and maybe stop the loot sucking.

    Also, can't get onto the boards server...

    thats was bat**** crazy, my heart is in my mouth, what a rush!!

    I was filling up at the military tents at Stary sober. Theres a human pitched tent there, i was putting loads of guns into, ( 3x ak's 2x G17 5 dmr ammoclips, + loads more) then i hear a shot. so i have a quick look around, coast is clear then run to the metal barn just next to stary Mil tents, They must have seen me run in there, as when i climbed the ladder to the top to have a looksie, i hear shots ring out, high calibre, then crunch, im crawling, sniper got me, thank bealzebub i have 1200 blood, as I was down to 6000 now, and making a getawy as best you can with broken legs. so im crawling left to right on this skinny gang way from one end of the metal barn to the other, end then 90 degrees turn to the stairs on the outside, this took me a good minute maybe 1.30, I couldnt track time i was just pumping with excitement/ adrenaline/ fear, all the while the hoor is firing shots that thankfully ching off everything metal around me. i figure he's in the hills over stary, as the way the barn is positioned and the fact the open section i can see the hills through, basicly he has envelope position on me , yet he still missed about 20 sniper shots with me crawling away! it was unbelievable.
    I get to the end of the barn/warehouse, fix my broken bones, then cautiously bandage,i figure i have the time because my estimate of where he was shooting he would never get to me to finish me off on time. 3 minutes into it now, i start high tailing out of stary , going south, around houses around bushes anything i think will give me some cover... I made it, south in the forest. no more shots firing, a clean getaway...

    I logged as my hands are shaking, so intense. It did make me wonder, though, How long should you wait after a firefight before logging off, so as not to be accused of DC'ing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    You could do a WoW and lay there for 30 seconds before logging out. :D

    yeah gave up trying to get the game to run as a service, altho might be easier now hive isnt on the server anymore.

    is that patch backwards compatible with the boards server?

    IE1 getting bad press, sure villain would be interested in this..
    This happens on the IE1 server too... they shut it down for hours to "test" the server.... Oh, somehow the admins on the server have over 8 vehicles.

    about halfway down... made me laugh the lengths people will go to bitch and snitch

    Funny how they don't go around telling people that they disconnect when they get attacked.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    It should also be pointed out that we have no idea where the **** any of the vehicles are.

    LOL the Ignorance of people never surprises me and the funny thing is the same moaners would be the first to complain when an update causes problems. Clowns Ted, Clowns I tell ya!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭_vti


    Ive only seen the server locked periodically for flood control. Said 4 hours is about 3hrs and 59 minutes worth of bull**** right there!

    I really love how the butthurt embellish

    Also, do you hear those dicks be thankful for the removal of a lot of the barbed wire?? NO! I ****in spent ages trying to get rid of the most annoying barbed areas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭FlyingIrishMan


    Looking through some of his posts its not the first time he has done it. Seems to be constantly complaining about us. Doctor, we got a severe case of butthurt over here.
    Stay clear of IE1... it's run by an admin who restarts the server whenever he wants, and also locks the server for hours whenever he wants. At the moment himself and his friends own every single vehicle on the server.
    I have found 4 cars on the server, and literally 4-5 mins after finding each one, the server gets restarted and the car is gone.
    ****ing asshole. Stay away from IE1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,959 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    LOL av0ka sure loves to moan

    Hey guys, loving DayZ, quick question:
    I'm trying to use fxaa for the game, I have ingame AA and post-proc disabled.
    I have the following in my arma2OA.cfg:
    PPAA=2;
    PPAA_Level=3;

    But it doesn't seem to be turning it on.
    I see an 'fxaa' entry in the config too which I left at 0,
    ditto FSAA=0; and postFX=0;

    I would love it if they could just get rid of Barbed Wire until it's better implemented. Hell, I'd be happy if they just reduced the likelihood of it spawning!

    At the moment it's literally everywhere.

    I assume you would simply replace it with a "1".

    Regardless, I never realised that ARMA implemented FXAA...

    i run it with;

    FXAA=1;
    PPAA=2;
    PPAA_Level=2;

    it doesnt make the game run any slower, and picture is alot more vibrant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭FlyingIrishMan


    Any chance we can get a server update? Its pretty boring with only 6 people on the server.

    Yeah, it truly is ridiculous! Anytime I encounter some I try to dismantle it but then the jackasses who grief just put the wire back.

    I think it should be taken out of the game also.
