Are you kidding me? I've almost got fired because of this. Don't even start the "playing a lot" subject.
Why do you think I'm so pissed? Rage

I said that I'm out, not that I'm stupid or something.

I'll admit that I've probably overreacted a bit about the graphics, controls and interface. There's no way to tell anyway until it's out if it will impact the gameplay much.

Its the steam shit that pissed me off. I have my reasons not to wish to install steam. I hate that I am forced to deal with some bullshit I don't want in order to be able to have access to something I love!

It's the facebook shit all over again.

I heard something on a stream from a very populair DayZ streamer, lyric or something, that EA is going to publish the standalone.
I doubt this however, as i couldn't find anything about it, but who knows...

Go to sleep, saus, you're tired Laughing. Rocket said Valve helped a lot, I don't suspect him of signing a pact with the devil and pulling a stunt over Gabe..

just think of it as the auto-update service for the game
cos that's what it is, plus other infrastructure required to make the game standalone
i have a problem with steam too and there's no way in hell i would install it natively on my system
so sandbox it
it can wank around in there as much as it wants to and the real OS stays unpoisoned

I know I have been very quiet lately. So this will be really all I'll say for the moment.

I've been pretty depressed about the whole situation. From a personal standpoint, this whole "saga" of the development made me seriously question if I wanted to be involved in the industry and I gave serious thought to cutting my losses and not being involved in the project.

At my Army Discharge medical this week, they noted I now have high blood pressure. Some things in life just aren't worth worrying about.

I've been getting hammered by a massive amount with requests for information about DayZ release, interviews and my reactions to this and stuff and such - but for my own sanity I retreated and have kept to myself. Right now I'm just at home doing bits and pieces on the DayZ development. The rest of the DayZ team is doing the same.

I realize that I went back on my word about releasing an update, but went back into my shell for a bit last week, and I'll come out when the dust is all settled.

there are games on steam that install starforce
i've had enough of shit like that corrupting my windows thank you very much
and as the whole warz debacle showed, valve doesn't really screen the shit that goes on steam
i don't expect there to be intentionally malicious stuff there, but games installing stuff like video codecs or virtual drivers can really fuck up the OS on non-gaming related things
it's not as much an issue of security as it is of software hygiene

Well i have played most games that are released.
Untill last pc upgrade, i ran the very first win7 version that came out back then.
So in those years, till last month (when i upgraded to win8), i had ZERO problems of those things you are talking about. No game install EVER fucked up my windows (atleast not since win95 anymore)...

So i donno what bullshit you are talking about, but it all sounds like horsecrap to me.

I think I'm dumb or something... I forgot how to install the whole thing, or I'm doing something wrong.

Installed Arma 2, was trying to patch it to 1.11 but I'm getting errors while patching. And then I've tried to install OA in the same directory, but I'm getting tons of error messages. installed the 1.62 patch, loaded up dayzcommander and installed dayz, joined a server and got kicked + got some ingame error messages (missing files & etc.)

DAFUQ? haaaalp Exclamation

Arma2 and OA are installed in seperate folders as seperate games. they just draw off each place they are installed for assets.

1. install arma2
2. install arma2 OA (no patches in between necessary)
3. install 1.62
4. dayzcommander, inside which install latest beta patch and dayz

check that the patch can actually write to the arma folder
if it's at program files you must run the patch as admin (though i think it does anyway)
if all else fails, delete everything and search and delete everything 'bohemia' in registry and try again

well, they install fine together in one folder
it gets really confusing if there's multiple folders for one game

but thats how it installs if you bought arma2 then bought OA.. if you bought CO that might be a different kettle of fish? im not sure dont have that package. And its how it is in my steam folder, you havd to install arma2 first then install OA, and they are in own install dir's, then run each game in turn to reg entry the keys then you could launch then as a combined ops (CO) type of thing.

either way for dayz if he just wants to piss about in dayz there is plenty of servers with no BE and NOCD etc if he is not fussed where he plays Very Happy

It was probably because Arma 2 hadn't built up a registry entry. You need to run it once to create the registry entry, some games/programs are like that!

The trick is...

Install ArmA2
Install ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead
Close Steam (Only if you got it on Steam, obviously)
Start Steam as an Administrator (Only if you got it on Steam, obviously)
Start ArmA2 and close it again from the Menu (Very important)
Start ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead and close it again from the Menu (Very important)

Install Mods/Patches/SixUpdater/DayZCommander

private hives have widely varying levels of changes
some stay vanilla, some add guns, some add vehicles etc
the whole community has splintered now and there is no "one dayz" anymore, apart form the official mod releases and official hive
i still prefer the vanilla version though - adding weapons turn it even more into deathmatch

You spawn with a gun only on some servers, and only private hives, to be clear. It's not set by default. And usually you spawn with a pistol - Makarov/Revolver/M1911 or even an M9SD.
