played in the dark for 2 hours last night,with some uk guys. they picked me up in a Humvee and we did repair runs all night, and the cars have heat so your temp goes up while cruising. Mybe i just ran into a nice group but we save allot of people last night to, never had any help on a us server.

fixed the white grass issue. went to the ArmA2OA..cfg file and set ATOC=0. graphics are fine now.
I completed removed mouse smoothing in the game settings on my desktop pc and it works better for the mouse there, however it hasn't made a difference for my laptop. though.
I started near Elektro and ran across the mountain and now i see another coast, lol. then it started raining, so now i'm sitting under a porch roof waiting for it to stop raining. found some ammo for guns i don't have yet.

Haven't had a chance to try it myself yet, but if you only game late at night in the USA, try one of the European servers.

Dan suggested looking for an "inverse daylight" server to me last night, as he discovered there were a few servers setup to be daylight at night and vice versa.
I ended up playing on a Dallas server last night that was daylight. I ended up on a beach by Elektro, so I crawled through the town over to the power plant and ended up with some chem sticks and a mini-gps! I then went up on top of the plant to scope things out since it was daylight and just about shit my pants when I saw how many Zombies were walking around the outside of the town! I ended up making it to the deer stand to the east and got a PDW. Made it over to the Rog Castle and found a pair of Binocs! Not paying attention, I heard some zombies running around so I dropped to prone and started crawling down the stairs of the castle. This is where shit got real. I encountered a glitch of some sort and ended up breaking my leg(s?), couldn't stand up, and was bleeding profusely! I ended up bandaging myself but was down to about 3k units of blood. I ended up having to CRAWL from Rog Castle all the way up to Staroye. This ended up taking about an Hour and a Half!
I crawled over to the house that had the water spigot and couldn't get it to work, so I turned around and saw the door in the house was opened. I tried getting in the door but seemed to get stuck so I hit the C key to stand up, which only makes you fall back down to prone, and was able to make it through the door but a zombie heard me. I had to dispatch him, but not before he got a chunk out of me and cost me some more blood. Luckily I had another bandage, but I ended up with 1200 units of blood. I then crawled over to the barn that was down the street. There, my friends, I had a break through!
Overjoyed, I was able to find 2 morphine injectors which healed my broken leg and was even able to get a crossbow for my trouble!
Funny side story, as I was crawling into town, I noticed to the east on the hill, 3 guys running from 2 zombies. It was pretty funny to watch them get chased around by these zombies lol. Don't know how they ended up, though.
Anyway, AWESOME mod and very immersive! I hope all of you end up joining the AT DayZ steam group and we can roll around the map together, helping out other survivors and wiping out them asshole bandits!

Whoever told you to avoid towns, probably didn't mean to avoid ALL the towns. Rather, just avoid the main cities on the coast (Cherno and Elektro) as that's where scumbag bandits usually prey. Pretty much everywhere further inland is safe. I've found some really fine loot in tiny inland towns, without having to worry about anyone else ganking me.
Unless they meant "avoid towns", as in, all towns have zombies. Which yeah... they do. That's the conundrum: There's no zombies out in the forests, but there's no loot there either. You'll only find loot inside of towns and villages, but that's also where the zombies are. Risk/reward, etc.
Yup. There are a few UTC +4 servers, in Virginia I think, where it's daytime during regular US nighttime. That's where I try to play since I usually only game in the evenings.

Going prone in the wrong place can break your legs, I have had it happen with fences and walls of buildings before.
When navigating stairs it is best to use crouch walk (x and then shift), you make the same amount of noise as being prone and are only a bit more visible to zombies.
I often play with a group of friends on the Virginia, Ohio, Dallas and US inverse daylight servers. I use the same name as I do here.

You can download it directly from the main site: http://www.dayzmod.com/downloads.php
Not sure why you'd use a torrent.

I'm pretty excited about this.
Not so much because of where it's at in its current alpha state, but where I can see it going.
Bohemia appears to be on-board (they're seeing dollar signs, after all), and with ArmA III slated for release in Q4 this year, the modders are going to have a vastly improved engine, and a whole new set of assets to build on.
I hope the mod stays active and enough interest and support keep it going to that point.

F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!
I was doing pretty well, surviving, although I had next to no supplies. I was on a roof in elektro and found some medical supplies. logged out and then logged back in later and someone started shooting at me. i'm like where the hell is this guy at that he can shoot me on the roof? There wasn't a higher roof anywhere else.
i'm prone looking around trying to figure out where this came from and I remember there is a small area right above me that you can climb up to. i turn around and look up and see him him at the ledge and pump several shot into him with my Mak.
I thought I was dead but i couldn't do anything. finally it came up and i was still alive! i heard flies buzzing and look up and see the bad guy lying on the roof bleeding. I'm hurt really bad so i use a painkiller and a bandage but blood is less like 1100 and its all black and white, shaky, and i'm passing out like every 30 seconds or so. had 1 can of food that brought me up to 1300. I had nothing else to get my blood back up.
afraid the other guy wasn't dead either i head up and i can see he's dead and can loot him. he has no food or anything that I can use to heal myself.
I loot his weapons (winchester 1866 and a 1911 and some ammo). He has a watch and some other stuff I took.
Sitting there asking for someone to help but no one offers. I'm screwed, I think to myself. can barely see and passing out every minute or so. I remember seeing an open building a house down and across the street. I muster some courage and decide to try to make it there, hoping I don't pass out while on the ladder...
carefully make it across the street and into the building. i find a sh*t ton of supplies, more ammo, etc. I find some food but not enough to really help. get up to about 1700 blood but still passing out and B&W screen, etc. keep searching and decide to climb up the roof there.
a gunshot hits next to me and another. i try backing up but the 3rd shot hit me and killed me... all that f*cking work for nothing!! I guess maybe he really put me out of my misery?
Dunno what happened with that first guy though, he shot at me like 15 times and didn't hit me until i saw him and shot him too. lol
And I got a damn murder count too, so i must have hit him first, even though he was shooting at me first.
oh whoa! this is odd. i logged back in and i'm inside the building I got shot on top of and I still have all the gear I looted. till in bad shape, but at least not dead...

create a new profile. i think it's an option under the main menu
well the shaking stopped but the screen is still B&W and had to see. haven't passed out in a while either. the server i'm on has no zombies atm, lol. running around the cities trying to find food and gear but not having much luck.
definitely died for good that time. found a map on my new character but thats it. i guess the servers are super borked right now.
just died of starvation. could not find any f-ing food. found a cow, killed it but I couldn't cut it up (had a knife). lets see what happens when i log back in.

Pontifex, something to know, zombies = loot nearby. No zombies, no loot.
I do think that the game will only spawn zombies in an area if someone is close by and may despawn them if there is no one in the area to save on resources. Hence why you see the server wide number fluctuate.

that would make sense. although the other players said they were finding stuff, so not sure what the deal is.
