Me and my brother got around this by him buying Operation Arrowhead on steam ( I own combined ops on steam) and just changing steam accounts when playing.
thanks, do you think this will work with my copy of Arma II (being that it's Arma X DVD vs steam)
Probably, I'm guessing DayZ is really just tied to your Operation Arrowhead serial since that's how it works for my brother. As long as you can launch Combined Ops you should be fine.
It should say "You have harvested wood" or something like that, there's no animation. The wood should be in you inventory.
You need to be in a forest area (dark green on your map). Doesn't work on any regular tree.
That's my current mood after several attempts to get into any server. Between the infinite 'Loading' screen forcing me to restart the game, BattlEye not recognizing my game version (latest beta patch) and servers going down after two minutes of being up since last restart, I am really fucking losing my mind right now.
I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DO, YOU PIECE OF SHIT MOD! I HATE YOU!
I want to play you

05/31/2012 Short Stories
A man explores an airfield. Sees a survivor run about like an idiot. This man's kind of person. They team up. The runner continues to run about. Other men have been murdered here. Eaten. This area scoured. The new friend runs off. The man runs through the woods. The occasional barn is explored. Shambling plague bearers are felled to the earth. A city, seen. New clothing is gained. Shots heard, flight takes place. North. New friends found. Vernon Wells survived the apocalypse. A camp set, supplies distributed. Sleep. New days. Cow! Steak, hamburgers! All for the taking. A new life in the wilderness. Returning to camp. A friend!
Death.
I don't want to leave the cities. Not ready for wilderness. No good at exploring. Nor at navigating. Those I meet are snuck upon. Other survivors wielding Lee enfields are taunted, even if I fire no rounds. All I want to do is rest. Breaks are frequent. Oh, back to the city? That I can manage! We run. I fall behind. One crack. Falling. No more cities for me. All I had was a pistol. I promise.
Flanked by islands of death. A city of bandits. All keep me from those who I travel with. Even from here I know that Nix, Panda and doc have secured the center of Cherno. Occupying a place of honor. I run. Caring not for how the trees hurt. Nor fatigue. Along this trail I hear of other survivors joining up. Of doctors saving the wounded. Strangers not murdering one another. Of a man named Kritz and his two companions, traveling in the west, forsaking banditry for collaboration. Small pieces of humanity, restored.
Cherno before me. A man's body. Precious transfusion kit. A trusty colt. I bury this man, thankful of the supplies he left behind.
Nix guides me. Warns of a stranger with a horde in tow. I've heard tales like this before. The living pursued endlessly. Three plague bearers ignore me. Running as I sit. Around a corner I peer. A man. A horde. This whole city, and we occupy one stretch of road. One factory block. I hide. This man requires more than I. Continuing towards Nix, Panda, doc. A dead man. Lee Enfield in hand.
Finally Nix can see me. I am joined by Kritz! A man falls from the former City Hall, our destination. Panda. Having wished revenge on the murderer of one of his companions. But now laying before Kritz and I. His dying wish that we carry on his mission, and with his supplies. We lay him to rest. "I am sorry."
Neither Kritz nor I have uttered these words. Nor panda. Nor Nix or doc above. A horde engulfs Kritz and I. A man in their midst. Kritz runs to a door way, I to a pipe leading skyward. The dead follow each of us. I battle those that followed. Nix descends to save Kritz. The shamblers feast on the stranger. Others let us know he was called Iron. Another claimed by this world. Nix speaks of an earlier shootout. One man armed with pistol, another Enfield. Mutual ends. We having survived. But how long until death appears. By fellow man, plague bearer, illness no longer treatable, gravity. Its all eventual. Yet tomorrow comes.

Which server? Sounds like a fucked server with someone pulling some exploits.

Looks like Worrom's updater is now updating to 1.7.0 as i ran it because the game kept telling me i was missing a file and im now on 1.7.0
No wood, it must have been a server error, I had free space.
I said "I was deep in a forest". I tried hugging many trees. No wood.
Ok, something WEIRD happened yesterday. I logged to a server, don't remember the name because usually I list them by ping and double click before even reading the name, but I think it was a Virginia one. I just wanted to eat/drink something and disconnect.
It was daytime (noon).
There were 0 zombies. ZERO.
Only 12 people were there.
I was somehow reset to the beach.
There were LOTS of corpses near/around spawnpoint(kamenka).
I heard some shots and instantly kissed the sand with Z. I slowly crawled to the west, extremely paranoid since I had lots of food from my last session. I crawled all the way to one of kamenka's houses, hearing shots every now and then. I turned around and I saw a couple of guys waiting near spawn point and killing everyone on sight. I crawled past them and tried to look for some loot but found none at all. I wrote on global chat:
me - "where are the zombies?"
??? - "there are none its a great server for looting"
me - "why are you guys killing everyone?"
??? - "well find you and kill you too"
I then realized I had a reticle and run towards the nearest house. Got in, disconnected. What the fuck?

So is reverting to previous patches/updating a way to teleport around?
They're the broken server police. And they will find you.gutabo said:
Nope. It still saves your position. I've been switching back and forth quite a bit to get car parts.

Well, I'm screwed, when I join a server I can't move, I can't kill myself, my food and water indicators don't work and I cant see my debug menu. I'm taking a long shot and seeing if anyone has had a similar problem and could help me out.
Press escape, then click respawn.

I tired, nothing happens :/.
Fixed it! Apparently updating to 1.7 messed me up somehow.
First time clicking in here despite seeing it on the 1st page a ton. Just to confirm this is a multiplayer mod right? This is exactly what I want from a zombie game...just not in single player form.
edit: Christ nevermind it even says it in the title. Guess I was just hoping against hope that there was a single player part.

Aha. Yeah, this is a MP game.
250km^2 map + 1000s of zombies + ~50 human players. No rules, completely open world, emphasis on survival, high level of sim management stuff, punishing difficulty, anti-game design, and a bunch of other buzzwords.
It is, without a doubt, the single best game "released" this year. And I was already backing Journey pretty strongly. It's what I always wanted from STALKER multiplayer, kind of like if The Road was a game.
Yeah it sounds amazing but I just cannot do multiplayer. I've learned enough especially on the PC side that people play games just to troll. With permadeath tossed in there I can already see a broken keyboard in my future if I play this. I hate people 
Eh the few PC friends I have would not be interested in playing something like this. Too hardcore and not COD or BF enough if you get what I'm saying lol.

Make friends with GAF in mumble! Just avoid the bean eaters.
Also, if you're playing the game solo, as long as you're north of the coast you rarely run into players anyway. The world is so huge compared to the player count, it takes a good hour or more between seeing people. And even then, assuming they haven't spotted you, you can just go around them.
And not all players are out to kill you. It's just that when you have 50 players and, say, 10 of them want to fuck things up, everyone else goes on high alert.

finally got everything working. had to use one of the updaters seeing as how no matter what instructions I followed, I couldnt get it to load (Ive used mods before).
picked a female char just to be different. figured, who would shoot woman? boy was i wrong! lol. found some new clothes and learned female char can equip them.
quick question, is the starting pistol THAT inaccurate?!?!? I couldnt hit shit at more than 30' away!
and boy I really need to learn the map better. ended off heading long the coast and ended up at the edge of limbo. checked some houses dead bodys long the way and all I found was new clothing that I cant use and some bandage's.
also, salute is "\" correct? tried it and it didnt work for me.

Ahh wedge, your racism is coming out again huh? Jk. Don't know when I'll jump back in, tonight is Max Payne multiplayer(which is surprisingly good). Then vacation to the big island with the wifey tomorrow. But when I get back it'll be on.
It flows through my veins, each and every waking moment.

All right, so I followed the instructions posted a few days ago and somewhat joined a game.
So here's the worst first day story ever.
I spawn at the ocean near a city I can't remember. There's some docks to my left, the ocean behind, to my right nothing but grass and trees and ahead of me is a small town. And 1 zombie walking on what looks like a bike path.
I'm excited. I'm in! But I've seen enough videos to know that the one zombie kill could summon tons. I look to my left and think "I'll just scrounge around that warehouse a bit and maybe find some supplies, because I'll get my noob ass kicked in that town anyway. But as I walk toward it, more zombies are between me and the warehouse docks. Five or six. Well fuck.
So I run to my right and find some tracks and follow them to the next dock area.
It's another warehouse with some docks covered in burned out Hummers. There's one zombie wandering outside and across the tracks and about 50 yards away are more zombies. I take a chance that my gun won't alert those zombies, though they're close enough that I'm nervous.
One shot to the head. Hit him in the chest? Two shots and he's still not down, he suddenly slashes me and everything goes black and white a second. One more shot and he's dead, but my health symbol is glowing a bit. I run into the warehouse and close both doors quickly.
How the fuck do you open your inventory? I'm thinking. Then I see it: the splash of blood on my screen. I'm bleeding out. I'm furiously tapping buttons, finally figure out which one is my inventory and I click on the bandages. Nothing really seems to happen, though the bandages are gone. I walk around and survey the scene, in the bizarre rare chance there's something that can help me.
Nothing. The warehouse is empty - nothing but a few piles of tin cans. It was a worthless trip...and is looking like a pointless death.
I start clicking a few other things in my inventory: some beans to help blood loss maybe? painkillers? Some water? Nothing is helping.
Suddenly the constrast starts going pure white and I know I'm a goner.
The last thing I see before I die is my water bottle on the ground near me with some beans and painkillers. I look up across the warehouse and there's a chance I'm looking at bandages.
I was throwing my gear away instead of using it.
"Fuck", I whisper out loud. "FUCK" I yell as the YOU ARE DEAD appears.
Two questions first:
1) how do you use an item in your inventory?
2) when you die, how do you restart? It didn't seem to want to take me to a "player select" screen.
Bonus: I also wasnt able to create a user name?

1. Open inventory, mouse over item, right click, left click. For flares/empty cans, have them in inventory and hit F to equip and use.
2. Abort, Disconnect, and then OK at the server lobby screen.
Bonus: Go into Player Profile at the Arma 2 menu.
Protip: Play the Arma 2 tutorial. Game isn't exactly simple. Using the backpack for storage can also take some getting used to.
Sorry guys, I can't talk that much late at night without giving the wife excuses to make my life bitter. Also I was playing on her laptop(my PC is not correctly located in the house noise-wise) and I couldn't find a way to mute one of its mics.
Ok, twice now in the GAF server(TX8) I've walked through stairs into non existing water. Both times I've disconnected and reconnected to fix the issue, both times I've respawned in shock state(5 minutes wait), and both times bandits shot me while in shock. Luckily, the first time my corpse was rendered impossible to loot. I got to watch how they looted my stuff while in shock before they shot me the second time.

Haven't played since 1.5.7, I can't get used to the amount of zombies.
Do they still see and hear you from miles away, run and hit through walls, sprint faster than you can while zigzagging?
I can't get the hang of stealth.

Walk walk walk. Or go prone if you need to sneak past them up close. It might be slow, but in prone you can pretty much touch their feet without setting them off.
Would be amazing if the dev team really grows and we see bigger and better updates.
The game just makes me wish we had a proper stand alone game with a good engine. A game based on DayZ without the awful awful bugs/lag/glitches/errors would be AMAZING.
