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.

Yeah picking up backpacks can be wonky. Sometimes if the pack is in a loot pile with other stuff, you need to remove everything else from the pile before you can pick it up.

Decided that from now on, No Mumble, No non-game map and Direct Only (whether it works or not). Had a great couple of hours just running around lost scavenging for supplies :) Much nicer when you don't know where you are.

I don't know if I could do this all the time, but doing this half the time would make for a more interesting experience for me. I ordered the physical Chernarus map, but I'm going to modify your rule of "No non-game map" and only use the physical one when I have the in-game one. Mark down deerstands, stores, landmarks on it.

Ive read the OP and maybe I am being dense but is there a free version to play this or do I need to purchase ARMA II first? I know this is a dumb question.

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, 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!!!

Yeah, and you would probably be better holding off. Lots of bugs.

Also, our mumble server got put up on some random dutch forum apparently.

I completely deleted ARMA2 from my PC to try and restart my DayZ installation.

There's no actual password for our mumble, so it's just likely they're using it. Not much they can do outside of create a ton of temporary rooms or take up all of the slots.

Looking at mumble right now.. there's a group of 5 people in the DayZ side party that I've never seen before:

I'm going to idle all up in their shit. Maybe I'll learn dutch in the process.

On a serious note, it seems like people prefer TX8 to Dallas 19. The plan was never to run two indefinitely, but to get a feel for having access to the desktop itself over just admining. Is it safe to say we'll just renew the TX8?

That sounds like a good thing to me. TX8 has proven to be more stable and better overall than Dallas 19.

I saw you pop into the channel they're in and then leave. I keep sending random messages to their channel at varying intervals. Not sure if they have Text to Speech on though.

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.

Are you the Feature dude on Mumble with the other dutchies?

Just talked to Nabs quickly; he's looking into it - I assumed the server is semi-private and for GAF use only. If it goes on long enough they could end up taking it over and using more than just the other rooms. Especially if it's being paid for by GAF members/donations etc...

Feature may be legit, because it could be and probably is the same Feature who just recently posted in this very thread. This game creates paranoia even in mumble.

Yeah, it's no big deal. It's not an official gaf server, so as long as there is no bs, everything is cool.

Yes guys, it was me. Sorry, didn't know it wasn't allowed to give other people the mumble. Was just a couple of my friends in real life. We weren't trying to take over the server don't worry and no new room making. Sorry again!

It's perfectly fine. Use the server as much as you'd like.

Yeah, no problem, I just thought that the first guy who had come in had said that he pulled it off of a dutch forum, so I was just worried we were not going to be able to get in if there was a huge influx of other users.

Okay thanks man! I didn't have text to speech on so I didn't hear you guys, only one guy came in saying we had to leave because it was tha gaf server and some other guy came in talking german :p . Surprised so many recognized us talking dutch because some (mainly I) have a heavy dialect and many mistake dutch for german.

No problem man, like I said I wasn't sure if the people paying would have an issue or what was really going on. Didn't mean to call you out on it.

The first guy was me :p I didn't think anyone would understand me anyway, so I apologize! I was only slightly serious anyway.

Yeah, our concern was just that randoms were about to clog it up. We haven't had very good experience with outsiders and DayZ lol.

WELCOME DUTCHIES!

It was worth the paranoia. Gibs sat in on your conversation and heard "Zombies" and "firehouse". He reports back to me with "They're just dutch people having fun killing zombies in a firehouse."

I'm sorry I couldn't get to you in time with the bloopack. I got disconnected and since there is no server history, thank you gamepsy, I couldn't find the server again.

I'm sorry. :(

I've been contemplating picking this up after watching a few days of videos. Being an old schooler sandbox rpg player, I miss the days where games actually caused anxiety and you had to watch over your shoulder.

Only thing I am hesitant on is spending the $30 on Arma II, mostly because I just picked up a bunch of other games and am not sure if I want to spend more for this. If I can get a few people I know to play I may just have to get it though.

Yes, we took over the airfield up top of the map and were looting when all of a sudden we had huge agro from zombies. We all ran in this building with red doors and camped there but they kept coming. I managed to get out and my friends too, but heavely damaged. We called it a night after that fight.

We also ambushed some loner that was killing a pig. A guy from our 4 man squad sat miles away covering us while we were looting a barn. Someone from our squad noticed him and the sniper hit him once. The guy crawling for his life didn't notice the other 3 of us standing 10 yards from him so while he was bandaging himself we executed him. he immedeatly disconnected. Also another guy raged very hard at me when I came across him on the way to meet up with my team, and I shot him in the back and stole his goods. Good times.

Had a pretty fun game with you guys on Mumble. Will probably do this more often seeing as how AusGAF are being boring by having jobs, or playing Dota, or something that isn't zambie murderin'.

Any tips on how to share a PC/have more than one account?

My son is bitching that he's built up a load of stuff and doesn't want me to lose it all...before I do that (just to spite him) I thought I'd ask if I can create my own account...seems to be hard to find details, we'll not be playing at the same time (yet - maybe one day...)

anyone looked into this?

I know you can make different profiles in the game, but I think dayz is locked on CD-KEY.

I bought Arma X - so I guess I could buy another copy, have different windows log-ins, re-install (in a different folder) and then that should work?

I wonder - which key is the one used tho - Arma & OA have keys...maybe it's just Arma 2, in which case I could get away with just buying another copy of that?
