At the end of the video Ivan says "Hope to see you on the new Chernarus map this week"
Does that mean StandAlone will be out sometime this weekend? ...I want to believe...
Do you need to download the latest Arma 2 patch before you download DayZ too?Yeah. Steam has to install the direct x distros and configure a few things in the game directory before the install is actually complete, and that only happens when you run both the base game and its expansion at least once. The mod relies on a few of these files in order to work, so you've gotta do that before you install DayZ, even through commander. Delete all your local files via steam and clean up anything remaining in the ArmA 2 folders manually, then redownload and try again.
Thats what it sounds like. And people seem to be calling it out in the comments as well.
Although I cant imagine them releasing SA with Rocket still climbing mountains. And all information leading up to this would suggest otherwise. This is literally the only info saying SA wont release in June/July.
Like I said before, I want to believe sooooo hard.

As long as DayZ is chained to the janky as hell ArmA engine and interface, I really can't get that excited about DayZ standalone.
Yeah, it was probably a slipup. Like saying "I love you" at the end of a tech support call.
lol whaaaaa
I never done that!
Footage seems to show that they've made the movement a lot more fluid in the standalone, and that they recognise it's an issue that needs to be solved.
I think ladders are the worst thing in the mod at present. While I've learned how to compensate for it, I still remember the fun times I had trying to get back down them and falling off buildings because the game didn't register that I wanted to get on it.
Ever call your teacher 'Mom'? Shit is the worst.
When youre at a restaurant and they bring your food and say "Enjoy your meal" and you reply "You too".
Still having issues with the 'bad version. Server rejected connection.' error.
I have:
-Uninstalled Arma 2, OA and DayZ
-Removed all related files from my PC
-Downloaded and installed Arma 2 and OA again
-Started them both up and played for a bit
-Updated Arma 2 with the latest patch (103419)
-Downloaded DayZ
Yet, I can't join a server which also runs Arma 2 with patch 103419 and has DayZ 1.7.6.1 just like me. I managed to join on random official server. BattleEye is also up to date.
1. Download the A2 and OA.(I dont know if you need to play them both or not but try it both ways.)
2. Download DayZ Commander
3. Update/Download mods you want.
DayZ Commander will check to see if everything is set up right. Even if you are mixing steam version and non steam version(like me).
You sure you don't accidentally have some weird server filter option selected?
So.. can I just jump in and have some fun allone or will I be overwhelmed and/or shot in the first second? I am actually more scared of the players than of the zombies.

Tried joining that server and got the 'Bad version' error. Maybe I'm missing something?
Start alone. Getting into group play spoils some of the initial wonder imo.

Do you have the Arma II Beta Patch downloaded and installed? You might want to launch that manually at least once before joining a server that requires it. After installing it you'll find it in the Operation Arrowhead directory as "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch".
If you have it up to date on DayZ commander then you probably already have it installed.
I have no idea if that would fix it.

I think that fixed it. Managed to join a server which I couldn't join yesterday.Now that I thinjk about it, in settings there's an option aout replacing steam files or something likethat.
You should try activate/deactivate it, and see if that works.

So I get onto servers and then it tells me I can't play the mission without the expansion, but everything seems fine?
Welcome to Arma 2
As long as you can still get in-game, those warnings don't mean much, typically.
Oh okay... thanks! Now it's pitch black and I have no idea what i'm doing and don't know the controls. fun times ahead.
What's the current state of DayZ? It's okay to link me to a posting that elaborates on that. I see there are lots of new maps and shit. Hackers, griefers? Patch bull? Performance?
It sucks that you can barely enter any of the buildings. Going through an entire village with not a single loot spawn location is lame.
Also, you should try out Taviana, very good map and a lot more open buildings.
Y'all should try the servers with AI squads/bandits. There are random bandits in some towns, and also military units. Someone on the server said they saw a chopper drop off AI troops at an airfield
AI servers, I've found, have far less cheaters, for some reason.
Taviana, for some reason, just feels more empty than Cherno for me. Maybe it's because the actual geography is pretty boring (I've only explored the main island, btw).
Otherwise, yes, lots more to do there.
I think they're only on mercenaries and origins, right? Not in the normal map, i believe.
What's the reason to hack/cheat in this game?

i see... well I have not yet encountered anyone. I'm gonna hit the wiki before I bother you guys with too much questions you already answered - but how would one play together, if even possible?
Alright, thanks! It's a shame.Still a bunch of Hackers. I haven't played in a while but I watch DayZ youtubers pretty often and they always get hacked or the whole server starts dancing etc.
Best thing lately is DayZ origins, which scans your computer before you play and if you have ever EVER used a hack it perma-bans you no matter when you used the hack. So it's like DayZ when it launched and it's a lot more fun it would seem. Also the zombies have terrifying new screams in it lol
