DayZ. Zombie survival mod for Arma2: CO

[mazmatt]

Most servers are down at the moment, also there is a new patch for ARMA 2.

Okay, so in my attempts to fix, I have verified the game files, rebooted, still no joy (this is before I knew the server was down, but even regular ARMA 2 servers weren't displaying), however now on installing the latest beta patch I've been advised my CD key is incorrect.

What the ****.

[FrAUdie]

Was just in a server I joined through my recent servers list, since browser showed nothing.

So laggy... quit about 10mins later. Couldn't even kill this guy who was shooting at me, my crosshair was just jerking all over the place.

I think I might wait for the next proper patch... -_-

How hard is it to find a server that's actually playing the timezone that it says it is? I've been on three GMT+10 servers tonight hoping to get some nighttime scavenging done, but all three of them have had wildly different times ingame. Very annoying.

Not normally too bad, gamespy have been doing an update and it borked all the servers so they havent been maintained by their admins.

I think I might have to try a complete reinstall, it seems as though the game itself not just the patches etc are borked.

Brilliant!

So is it just me.. or when I try to find servers, there are none? Got no filter set, and no servers are showing at all.

I had this and it had changed the network from internet to LAN. Changed it back and the servers reappeared.

Time to go hunting

[cdkit3]

Looking forward to getting up to some adventures tonight. At this stage we have 6-10 people in our group for tonight . Might even go and play on some high pop servers and go hunting

I'm also pretty confident that if we come across any vehicles I shall not be allowed to drive them after last weeks .... incident..... .

Will hopefully get some nice fraps footage too, and will put a short vid up .

ERMAGHERD.

I found a near perfect place for our group to logout. So far, every login (we always go back to the same spot), there has been a helicopter crash within three hundred meters. So now, our squad has 2 DMRs, 2 L8A5 AWS's, 1 M107 and Mk 48 0 LMG. Only one NVG though. Just found the second L8A5 AWS before on a quick solo check, had to abandon a DMR to do it though.

I suggest anyone with concerns about zombies not dying when they should when shot with certain weapons, read:

http://dayzdb.com/news/weapon-changes-in-arma2-162

About half the weapons' damage values were cut back in the Arma2:OA beta update 1.62

Not sure as of yet whether Rocket will be altering Zed blood values, or leaving us to forge our way ahead in tougher times (which I don't altogther mind).

Short version: M1911 and Revolver are no longer 1-shot kills. Enfield is no longer a one-shot kill, is no longer the "Dinner Bell" (reduced audible range for Zeds). Several pistols/rifles/ARs have had their damage reduced.

Disclaimer: Headshots are the same as always. Duh.

[Wrangl3r]

Thanks for that info Nomicakes. Was wondering what the deal with that was.

OH NO SUPER PISTOL POWER IS OVER
