Sounds like you didnt upgrade to 1.7 or it went wrong.

Re-download the 1.7 files and put them in (copy and replace) the dayz/addons folder

Might have been random - but tonight I jokingly said I had a bike, and two minutes later was shot dead. As soon as that happened I was asked where the bike was - just thought it was a little suspicious and was wondering is this potentially someone hacking the server?

I had been wondering around the town I was in for a period of time, and nothing happened until that moment. Was 2 perfect shots, 12k to 0.

New beta out - ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_93586.zip
A quick scan I seen this
Fixed: Max distance for DirectChat raised from 20m to 40m
Fixed: switching backpack with dead unit in MP
Fixed: AI detection after load
Fixed: "Direct" chat sometimes not working
Fixed: Massive network traffic optimization during Join in Progress
Fixed: Action taking magazine from a backback has sometimes failed
Fixed: MP: Loosing gear due to water no longer multiplied for each player
Optimized: Faster preload in multiplayer ("Receiving" mission, switching from map).
Improved: AI is less able to detect enemies in forests (improved estimation on "disappearing in a pattern" for forests)

Not sure if it will all relate into dayz but maybe

I'd say the above would apply to DayZ, the ones in bold being especially helpful.

Next time server needs restart sticking that beta on it.

Post exact specs, bit of a beast of a game.

You are not running combined ops.

@Lawless

Google "Can you run it"

it will tell you if it will run on your system or not.

Your gfx card will need to support shader model 3 to run it, if its an old nvidia it might not run it at all (you might get an error as you launch the game)

Same is happening to me I've re-downloaded files and placed them in the right folder, even used the auto-update tool mentioned in the other thread. Still no cigar (I can get into other servers)

Edit: It was the beta patch that was causing it

Finally caught a break, and got me one of them Lee Enfields. Anyone shoots at me I swear I'll draw every zombie within earshot before I die.

Whoever killed a large mob of zombies in a barn outside Chernogorsk, thanks. Left me enough bare essentials to avoid starving to death for another day.

Domination fridays?

Imo tis a decent idea but up to the lads who pay for the server, you really have to strafe a town in an A10 to understand how awesome Arma is. or laser designate a target whilst some flies in a F35 and nukes the **** out of it.

Or just play with all the guns Arma offers. MK17 EGLM RCO !!!!
