1.7 is already out for SE 3 - 6 servers. It's on the FTP in a different folder.
Does anyone else play this game convinced that there's some grizzled old man, who's been alive since the servers first went up, living in the hills, and he' sitting on a small arsenal of every weapon in the game? He only comes down from the cabin to scavenge and loot supplies, then he disappears, back to his fortress of solitude.
I imagine that sometimes.

GAF-Bus....................I barely knew ye
Complete confusion, I can't even accurately write about what happened because it was so ridiculous.
We had the bus, Nobody could get in except me in the drivers seat, so they disconnected with the intent on coming back. Before the come back, we get ambushed and somebody shoots out the back window of the bus. They tell me to drive off so I leave immediately. Broken ends up shooting BS. I come back with the bus and the ghost of Krappa is lying prone in his gillie suit shooting at me, Panda proceeds to kill Ghost of Krappa. The shoots cease and we calm down.
The bus now refuses to hold more than 2 people so me and Broken start to take off. I try to squeeze through a town and the bus gets stuck on some rubble pile. Zombies swarm and apparently the bus blew up. I dunno because I passed out and was thrown from the bus where Zombies proceeded to eat me.
......................................................................................And this doesn't even mention the other guy we saw in a Gillie suit in Berezino who tried to kill the Gaf Crew in a store by chucking two frag grenades at it. He hurt a couple people by no one died, I came up behind him and unloading on him but the server went nuts and the guys corpse disappeared withing a minute............

All this would happen on the day I decide to focus on finishing Diablo 3. Figures.
The bus fiasco reminded me of something I'd forgotten, and almost ended my life.
Some people prefer to take their chances and don't mind being killed, and these people are just as dangerous as your enemies are if you follow suit.
Luckily this time I survived, bandaged, crawled up the hill, and fixed my broken bones and shaking. Who knows where the shooter went. But lesson learned, next time I'll be hiding on the hill like gibs instead of standing down there. I'll even probably be able to shoot the enemy that attacked if I see him.

Again. There is a .bat installed with the beta patch that starts the beta. Edit that .bat so that it does what you want (.bat files are script files for cmd.exe; you can just edit them with a text editor). Find a program that makes a .bat to an .exe (google bat2exe). Use said program to make an .exe out of the edited .bat (should end up at where the .bat was). Add that .exe in Steam and you're set.
No voodoo involved.
Note that one bat2exe generator I tested will generate virus warnings (not sure which one it was). They should be false positives (and I could explain why that's likely, but noone cares); however, you can just instruct your virus scanner to DELETE the file in question because it's a temporary file that's not relevant to a functioning generated .exe from the bat2exe thing.
I don't think you read the whole post, and while I don't blame you, I did cover that down to the bat-to-exe converter, and it doesn't do what I wanted it to.
I guess I'll edit that line out.
You'd think people would get that I'm not some idiot bringing a simple problem up for the zillionth time if there's a massive how-to in the post though.

Oh, you guys were in Berezino. Good choice. Paradise City.
It's probably a thing that is inherent to your converter of choice. It works fine with the one I got. Or maybe it's an OS thing.
And I tend to not make any assumptions about other posters. It wasn't meant as a knock against you.

Just to follow up on that, I used this tool to convert the .bat: http://www.f2ko.de/programs.php?lang=en&pid=b2e
Maybe try that out.
And that one DOES generate an Avira AntiVir complaint. (Again, instruct your virus soft to delete the offending file, just to be on the safe side)

Okay, well I'm just tired and that took a while to type; sorry if I was a bit hostile.
That's the converter I used and the steam overlay still wouldn't work for me, and a lot of other people said they were having the same problem although I don't know which converter they used.
Anyway if my method turns out to be pointless I'll just change my post tomorrow...err, after I wake up today.

Anshrew, BS, and I were running along the road close to Vybor and heard some car horns! 2 cars ( a white Jeep and white 4 door) zoomed by. We all hit the bushes and the Jeep turned around. We unloaded on it, killing one guy ( he fell out of the jeep).
So awesome.

Well, I'm not sure what I did right or what my setup makes it do things right. But in any case, I think you should just leave your howto as-is because if it works, then it's a good thing to have at hand, period. Nothing pointless about it.
Arma2 (Full version or Free version) and Operation Arrowhead (Fully patched)
OR
Combined Operations.
Which one of these is most optimal to have? I already have ARMA 2 but not OA. So I can just buy combined operations for 1 dollar more somewhere online if I want. What do you guys suggest?

Just to confirm, shift-tabbing to open the overlay in game does work for you, not just the launching through steam, right?

Yes. I didn't try it with the recent beta yet though. Will do in a sec.
Edit: WinXP 32bit
Okay, just makin' sure; appreciate you working with me here.
XP might be it. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Maybe somebody else can confirm, but I've got a server running on xp 32 bit so I can test it out later myself. In the meantime I'll put in my post that it's not needed on xp.

Okay, it works well still as a bat2exe compilate on 93160. The exe can stay as it is after all, nothing changes for the bat.
As a result, you can just try out my generated exe and see if that works for you (provided the beta is installed beforehand, of course). Get it here: http://www.2shared.com/file/tO1wYOxm/arma2cobetadayz.html
It is called "arma2cobetadayz.exe".
You need to drop the exe in the main OA directory. Then you can add it to Steam.
You should be able to run this exe even on Win7 although it's from WinXP.
Note that you really should doublecheck with virus scanning software. Although I'm 100% positive my system isn't infected, I could be wrong although I'm kind of an expert.
For reference, :run jump point in the bat:
If it works for you, but compilates from your machine don't, and you want different startup flags in the exe, then hit me and I'll compile one with your settings for ya.

Doesn't look like 1.7 will be coming out that soon. Now that its been under load there's a ton of performance bugs creeping up after you get in the game and other things.
I'll try this in a few hours to see if it works.
Okay, good, at least I'm not crazy. Thank you!
Hopefully nothing to be scared about, but just a heads up: On some US servers (reportedly US 13,14 and Atlanta ?? and Dallas ??) every connected player have been killed by hackers at once.
This happened to me and the dude (named 666) was taunting people on the chat (you mad? trolololo etc.) after every single person died. The server went offline almost immediately but the character got saved as having died.

Its been posted on the DayZ server forum. 666/joopig was stupid enough to link some people to a website.. with all of the hacks on it.
Have wandered from the airfield. Serious sleepwalking has taken me here. Or is the severe fever that holds me. Balotta. Two steps. A rifle cracks. Twice. Three times. Four. Five. Half a dozen. All ricochet near me. A man named John shouts to me. That I would be dead if he had not run out of ammo. Clearly a terrible shot, but not in my line of sight. Or even a general known direction. I let him know that I hope that the dead should eat his face off.
Supplies I've got. Company I lack. Knowing that Nix is near Mogilevka, I journey. Trees are my friends once more, compass in hand. Map coordinates make this easy. We want to explore. We've heard that MOB has become stranded in Berezino. We run over country as the world turns dark. Berezino before us. Hoping to find MOB. A man on rooftop! MOB shouts to us. Then disappears! We scramble to the hospital. Up its ladders.
Nix searching for medical supplies. I use what supplies I've carried through this country. Soon enough. We raid the market, apartments. But we do not escape unwatched. Stalked from rooftops. Reminded of who rules this world.
To the airfield once more. With gaffers again. Doc plays mind games with us. Forces us to hunker down and inspect our surroundings. Wade through confusion.
Throughout this plague, I'd believed that only those of us with XY chromosomes had survived. Women having succumbed to final ends, not even rising once more. Our chances for civilization continuing past the current generation near impossible.
Nature finds a way, or so I've heard.
Morning. I set out with abusori, panda, bs and indigo. Gibs continues his vigilance of the field. A vehicle our goal. We hunt through bogs, lakes. Desperate for even a sunken hulk. MOB again targeted in Berezino. But he escapes, and we head to the east. Indigo continues off north. Risking encounters, but hoping for flight. Gorka greets us, as does Broken. No vehicles in sight. But supplies. We hear rumors that Krappa has found a bus. An actual, mass transit participating, Robert Moses confounding bus. We dig in. An engine! And an accompanying horde. The horde dispatched, Krappa allows us to flee.
A factory! We scour it for parts. None. Supplies yes. I witness my first migrating herd of death. They shamble towards the factory. BS falls as we scurry from the roof. Another to be bandaged. The dead do not wait to compound the pain. I dispatch a crawler, intent to consume the unconscious BS.
Now it falls to me to drive.
From afar, Mickey instructs me on the finer points of bus driving. Me, not wanting to destroy this binder of civilization. Stressed at responsibility. And that which haunts behind me.
Gaffers head into town. Abusori and I guard the bus, patrolling the road. Mob spots a stranger, and follows him. Mob with only pistol in hand. But the man is lost. Krappa and the others are well rewarded for their grocery store raid. Well stocked. But explosions rock the grocery store. Grenades! Mob ceases the tyranny of this ghillied ghost.
Most of a day has past. I, too tired to journey. Into the woods I head, hoping my fellow gaffers secure land, possibly a helicopter. Another day, survived.
A new day. Full of supplies, yet last night drained me. Food. Groceries. They tempt me. Surely to be found in the wilderness. Wild animals. But beans, pasta, hot dogs! Easily found. Berezino. Perhaps even new clothing, these having seen better days. Shamblers avoided. No gunshots to alert others.
I crouch past the hospital. Rifle in hand, flipped to full. Cautious. But I've not fired a shot in anger these eight days. No shambling death surrounds. I make a few vain steps towards the grocery store. A man appears from within. I hear three shots as he does. Muzzle flashes. The world turns over. Hospital once more in my sight. All I can think. Every thought. Well, that was rude. My rifle beyond reach. Back arched over pack. Rude. That was rude.

Everybody is talking about using the Beta version of ArmA II on Steam to play DayZ.
Well, if you have Operation Arrowhead on Steam, it's much easier than what everybody makes it out to be.
Now, everytime you double click the Operation Arrowhead item on Steam, you have to choose to "Launch ARMA2: Combined Operations" on the Steam Pop Up that shows up. If you "right click" in it and select "play game", shit won't work. It won't work either if you select "Launch Operation Arrowhead" on the popup that shows up either.
That way you get both the Steam Overlay and the Hours count. The Bad News is that you have to overwrite the arma2co.exe with the newest beta every time there's a new beta.
Also, if you want to play regular ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead, you'll have to remove the ";@DayZ" from the launch options.
I will now break down the launch options for those interested:
-mod=expansion;expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;@DayZ -skipIntro -noSplash
-mod= - load the following mods
expansion; - I believe this is Operation Arrowhead. Nowhere on the Internet I found a decent explanation.
expansion\beta; - the beta version of Operation Arrowhead. This is what you want.
expansion\beta\expansion; - the beta version of the "expansion" loaded before. I don't know, don't ask me.
@DayZ - the DayZ mod we love so much.
-skipIntro - remove the Bohemian Interactive logo from showing up
-NoSplash - remove the background from the main menu and replace it with some boring ass water. Makes load times be much faster
If you have the other expansions, BAF and PMC, you'll need to add their loading to the mods section. I don't really know how to do them, because I don't have them yet, but it's probably as easy as adding the folder they're stored inside the "expansion" folder.
Well, if you have Operation Arrowhead on Steam, it's much easier than what everybody makes it out to be.
- Install both ArmA II and CO on Steam
- Download DayZ files and install them on your "Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead" folder under "@DayZ"
- Download and install ArmAII:CO beta patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php. The beta will be installed on your "Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta" folder
- Go to the folder mentioned above and copy the arma2oa.exe back to your "Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead" folder. Make sure to rename the arma2oa.exe originally in there so you don't lose the "stable" patch.
- Go to the ArmAII: Operation Arrowhead item on Steam and add the following launch options, by right clicking and selecting proprieties: -mod=expansion;expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;@DayZ -skipIntro -noSplash

People have just been PMing me and I send my PayPal info.
I can confirm that this does work.
But it looks like Drizzle, my new lord and savior, has solved me this puzzle once and for all.
I shall try his instructions.
Edit: And it works, excuse me while I dance in a field of poppies or some shit.
Please put Drizzle's how-to in the OP for other suffering individuals.
So I can install the beta patch from here ( http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php ) and still play as normal? Or do I have to install dayz 1.7 to be able to play? Thanks in advance!
The ArmAII:Operation Arrowhead beta Patch has nothing to do with DayZ itself.
The Patch is for Operation Arrowhead, and that patch is backwards compatible with non-beta servers.
DayZ 1.7.0 is still not public. However, it will require the ArmA2:Operation ARrowhead beta, which I described how to neatly install it on Steam and keep the hour counter working.
Just don't forget that, when a new ArmAII:OA beta patch comes out, after you install it regularly, you'll need to re-overwrite the ARMA2OA.exe on the main installation folder.

You guys got them back? Wow... did you have to kill the CRAZY PEPPERS guys?
I'm still mad about all of that!
For a couple of friends:
HOW I INSTALLED ARMA 2 FREE - OPERATION ARROWHEAD - DAYZ
1) Downloaded Arma 2 Free, installed it(Bohemia interactive/Arma2), ran it once, no issues.
2) Downloaded OA from Amazon, installed it(Bohemia interactive/OA), ran it once, no issues.
3) Downloaded Arma 2 OA 1.6 patch, installed it, ran it once, no issues.
4) Downloaded worrom.com app, installed, had to correct OA file path, clicked on "Force Update", finished downloading dayz by itself.
5) Created a shortcut for BohemiaInteractive/OA/arma2oa.exe, added " -mod=@dayz -nosplash"(no quotes) after the quotes in the target field of the shortcut properties.
6) Ran it once, got many errors, googled them, copied Addons folder from the Arma2Free folder into the OA folder.
7) ???
8) PROFIT!!!
HOW I UPDATED TO ARMA 2 BETA AND DAYZ 1.7
A) Downloaded the latest patch, installed it, no issues at all. It created a "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut.
B) Run the worrom.com app again, this time clicking on "Check Update". It downloaded and installed 1.7 by itself.
C) Edited the OA Beta Patch shortcut, added " -mod=expansion;expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion;@DayZ -skipIntro "(no quotes) at the end before the already existing " -nosplash"(no quotes).

Pain in the ass to do the roulette now. How do I know? 18 days. My goal is to get to 20 with my new character.
Played it for the first time yesterday.
Saw a flare in a town, ran to it asking in chat if someone was there. A guy replied yes, but when I got there the flare died down. So I told someone to meet me at the water. I ran to the sea and got chased by about 10 zombies (fuck me). I asked a guy if he could see me and he said he could, so I asked him for help but he just laughed at me and I died, only to see the message 'LoLZ, I couldn't see you, I don't know where you are'. Mofo.

Poor Nix...they need to keep people from spawning in like that.

So FYI, backpack spawns are confirmed nuked for the current 1.7 build, also confirmed is a high chance of spawning in the middle of the ocean when connecting if you are wearing a new skin.

Yeah, that's no bueno. I wonder if the dev-team is working on it even though Rocket is on his way to E3.
Daaaamn what a night!
Spawned near Kamenka, the server I joined had everyone reset at the beach. Last time I decided that I would never kill another survivor for a number of reasons including that I find it more fun that way. Went to Kamenka, started to search for the loot, found some stuff but not much, heard lots and lots of shots near the center of the town. VERY slowly crawled to where I thought the shooting was made and oh man, lots of dead zombies and 3 guys dead lying on the ground near a stair. I went crazy with all the loot(lots of tools!). Decided to go east, went inside a house to take some more loot with the new Czech backpack(full of stuff) I just got, when I tried to close the door and the door killed me. Seriously.
Respawned in Prigorodky. Said "fuck it" and planned to go back to kamenka for my stuff. Tried to spawn roulette but I spawned in the same place, finding my corpse with my new game loot(so almost everything x2 for me). I planned to walk through the coast but less than a minute afterwards I heard some shots that made me press Z and kiss the sand. Crawled my way west for a couple minutes until I found another corpse(so now I had everything x3) but still heard some shots close from Cherno. Decided to go around Cherno but from the north. Crawled a lot at first but then run a lot inside some nearby forests, making it a fast trip. Found a Ghillie suit near the small church north of Cherno, tried it and was impressed by how close I could sneak by the zeds. Got to the airstrip near Balota, found its radio control tower and decided to throw a flare to get all the zeds away so I could sneak inside. Got a message on global chat "flare in baleta, friendly?", answered "very friendly, beware of zeds near the flare". Got to the top of the tower and found an M16A2 rifle with lots of ammo. Started to arrange my inventory to make room for the rifle ammo and lit a chemlight for the visitors. Was arranging inventory when 2 guys came from the stairs and found me. I sat down and told them via chat "friendly". They killed me instantly.
About to go to bed, hit respawn again. Respawned near Kamenka. I thought "there's no way my original loot is still there in my corpse", since the server was having some issues and in my long hike I found a couple frozen zombies and a survivor's corpse that I couldn't loot. I decided to try it since I was so close, and guess what? It was still there! Got all my stuff back and disconnected.
This game! I was afraid of the night at first, but now I prefer it over daytime. Also THOSE TENSE MOMENTS when you hear a shot near you or you see a flare being lit near you!
PS: I don't know if it's old or not but the "take czech backpack" option in the mouse scroll menu wasn't available anymore, I had to find a way using the arrows in the inventory.

Started to arrange my inventory to make room for the rifle ammo and lit a chemlight for the visitors. Was arranging inventory when 2 guys came from the stairs and found me. I sat down and told them via chat "friendly". They killed me instantly.
About to go to bed, hit respawn again. Respawned near Kamenka. I thought "there's no way my original loot is still there in my corpse", since the server was having some issues and in my long hike I found a couple frozen zombies and a survivor's corpse that I couldn't loot. I decided to try it since I was so close, and guess what? It was still there! Got all my stuff back and disconnected.
This game! I was afraid of the night at first, but now I prefer it over daytime. Also THOSE TENSE MOMENTS when you hear a shot near you or you see a flare being lit near you!
PS: I don't know if it's old or not but the "take czech backpack" option in the mouse scroll menu wasn't available anymore, I had to find a way using the arrows in the inventory.
