Ah dying is part of the game, if we never died we'd never get revenge

Nice shot by hawkeye last night, the hunt for revenge is on!

kind of getting tired of people dc`ìng when they been shot

I assume that the fix "5 second delay for disconnecting" is to prevent the disconnecters from having an advantage?

Pending Hotfix: Build 1.7.1.2
Melee Weapon introduced: Hatchet (can only drop through right click in gear menu)

Awesome?

Finally. Made no sense to be without a melee weapon. Blades don't need reloading, it's just common zombie apocalypse sense.

Amen to that brother!

Hard part is finding a key to bind it to, with all the keybindings Arma hogs and all...

My default "record" button for Fraps was Armas "sit" button. Great when trying to record a zombie chase; I'd sit down and and get eaten if I pressed it when not running :pac: Have since deleted the sit button, though, as I see no use of it.

I love the sit button. How else are we going to pass the time when your getting heated up around the fire! You gotta sing and rock from side to side

Tone Mapping to enhance nightlighting conditions will hopefully make playing at night fun and not a chore. It was annoying that your character lacked the human ability to have his eyes adjust to the dark so it was always pitch black like you were in a cave.

I get by with the blue chemlights pretty well (they can only be seen from 35meters away which make them perfect for travelling between towns, where if you cross a bandit and he's within 35m of you then you're just plain unlucky!)

FYI I won't be updating the boards server from 1.7 until a patch is released for more than 12 to 24 hours and there are no major issues. 1.7 seems the most stable version for now.

I use }/] key, dont think its bound to anything by default.

Tested with Afterburner so far, 18fps stable while recording, playable but not great.

I'm curious if there are plans to make zombies run in doors? I hope not!

Duggy747

Christ, I hope not. They're bastards to shoot outside what with all their zig-zagging zip-zoppity booping out in the open.

Azza

Anyway of rolling back a patch?

Corkfeen

Okay, the key question for me now is should I wait till next week to purchase it? I'm assuming it will be part of steam summer sale. :pac:

Fanny Cradock

Just download the files and reinstall.

I just logged into a different server and moved out of that building and got some distance from it. I can now log back into the Boards server again without crashing.

I wonder can admin do anything about it, as I suspect more people will encounter this issue.

That worked cheers

Azza

Anyone got a link to the patch version the boards server is running on. Can't seem to find 1.7.0.

This is a very good point.

dreamers75

I would be shocked if Arma 2 was on the steam sale, i mean they dont have to.

Reckon the DLCs BAF and PMC will be.

I thought there zippity-zobbity zigging & booping has lessened since the new updates . I know alot here haven't probably tried 1.7.1+ other versions

Hiding does work, although sometimes at a gamble. If you run into one of those houses with only one way out and your successful, the zombies sometimes hang inside/outside the house at the entrance so you're f*cked.

Was experimenting with throwing Tins, Empty Soda Cans and Empty Whiskey Bottles. It works, the zombies do register that something has landed and made a noise and they turn to check it out. But you usually have to have it hit the ground close enough to them for it to work, and with how throwing stuff in ARMA can be tricky it's not worth it unless you really need to get a zombie looking another way for you to slip by

Playing dayz has made me want to go back and finish off the stalker series with its realism mod.

looks rather epic

wonder if the crowbar will gain any other use than a melee weapon

I have Fraps set to do half-screen at 30FPS the result is this, and the game is fairly playable when it's recording.

Everything but what is needed for DayZ will probably be on sale :P
