[ARMA2] DAYZ Thread - pr0lurker is a moron

[Poem]

Well. With me on AS50 and my mate rangefinder and thermal scope spotting we took out a ghillie on the island. Dropped him at the lighthouse, waited a few minutes and a huey flew in and started hovering. Quick rangefind spot and 4 shots later and it starts smoking and hits the ground, ghillie bails. Server shuts down instantly and then several times after, but we're pretty sure they didn't roll back. We hold on the area and miss a second ghillie then I get taken out by derping on the shore.

First legit huey kill at least, pretty happy with that. I also peeked a look at the tents afterwards when I got in on a different server and took another 2 gps, coyote, as 50, rangefinder, m16 203, most likely the same shit they took off my corpse and stashed back there. Ho hum.

So, sorted the problem with being stuck at "loading" but only by upgrading to 1.7.2.4 Now I can't play on Fearless server.

I hate this game sometimes...

Spawn, trek all the way through cherno/electro, all the way up to stary, then to airfield, dick about for 2 hours looting.

NVG's, Ghillie, M4A1 CCO SD, DMR, coyote pack etc

Drop into stary to loot food and water and I notice some twat has set up a wall in front of a tent, so I go to vault it.

*crack* headshot. dead.

FFFFF why do I even play this game

[kyrieee]

You got all that shit in just 2 hours?

You got all that shit in just 2 hours?

I spent 2 hours on the airfield alone, about 6 or 7 hours total trekking about and scavenging

That's amazing luck, to be honest. I would expect maybe one or two of those items in a two hour span, certainly not all of them. Lucky you.

Hmm, my hacker luck must have run out. Teleported twice night, first time changed servers and managed to get out of cherno, found bike and pissed around for a bit. We were about to kill another survivor when everyone got pulled back to prigo and given as50, all extra, coyote pack with m4a1 and some shit, and a couple satchel charges. I got out in time to get on another server without gear save or dying, cousin got out, but saved the gear. He's currently complaining about losing his DMR to the AS50

More importantly, if you use something like Arma II Launcher, you can just toggle which one you launch depending on what server you feel like playing on.

Logged into server, east of electro, see 3 apaches doing strafing runs in the distance

NOPE

DayZ is much better with other people. I'm now playing regularly with 2 RL mates (possibly a 3rd, if we can convince him), and the game plays a lot faster due to the lessened risk. We managed to hit Zelenogorsk, one or two Deer Stand triangles, and Balota airfield with little fuss.

But, my god, are some of the bugs annoying. We've found that if you're logging into a full server, it's likely you'll end up spawning in the debug plains, then getting bounced back to the beach (always near Electro/Omtel?).Plus the graphics bug which makes going near an airfield or fire station unplayable.

Oh, and my mate convinced me to drop my Winchester for an AKM. Now running low on ammo, feel disappointed. Should have stuck with the boomstick.

A possible fix for the graphical glitches is to press "left shift" "numpad -" and type "flush"

It may stop the artifacts

For about 4 seconds.

Or turn vsync on, then off again.
Or change default memory to high, then back down.

omg one two weeks ago i had a hunch that we got stalked by hackers on our servers for quite some time. found their ural with shittons of gear in there that looked exactly like the loot we lost when we got killed from some ghosting fucks. now a few days ago i went to see if the helo is back at skalisty when i saw the whole island on fire, i remembered that its a bug that has something to do with a downed chopper, hmm investigate. as i approached the spawnsite i see several flattened trees and a huey wreckage. lol i thought, noob tried to start and crashed immediately. lets see if i can find a body. oh here it is lying around, study body, name (rage)shakur, wait a minute i know that name. he was on our server several times when we got ghosted by hackers. lets see what gear he got....OMFG AS50....TWS, with IR scope...hacker scum

what am i gonna do with it now is the question :S

AFAIK using hacked gear isn't an issue, it's only the actual hacker who gets in trouble

However, considering how butthurt some admins get you might be better off dumping it and saving yourself the hassle

Or turn vsync on, then off again.
Or change default memory to high, then back down.

Or restarting your client, or switching from full screen to windowed.
I updated my display drivers and haven't had a problem since.

Before it artifacted really heavily around green mountain and stary for me, others have said stary too.
