DayZ: Arma 2 Zombie Apocalypse Mod
Discussion
Wow, interesting evening! I found how brutal the game is when I ended up out of water and with a broken leg in the middle of nowhere, I had to suicide as it was taking too long to die of thirst!
Next I ended up with an AKM in Electro and had quite a successful looting trip. I then heard another play creeping around when I was in the pub, I couldn't risk death after grabbing some nice stuff for the first time ever, so I assumed enemy and pumped him full of the (only) AKM clip. Fortunately for me, he had lots of nice gear so I now have an Enfield with lots of ammo (AKM was out), M1911, lots of food and drink, and A MAP!!
The map is quite a let down though as it doesn't show position (am I doing it wrong?) but it makes me feel good![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)
I feel ready to actually play now that I have no need to find anything for a while, my only problem is that I lost a lot of blood.
I'll have some fun on my own exploring the more interesting places like the airports, then I might be ready to join TS and party up![shoot](/inc/images/shoot.gif)

You have to figure out your own position on the map using landmarks ![tongue out](/inc/images/tongue.gif)
Don't shoot the Lee Enfield anywhere near zombies, you'll draw hundreds of them to you!
I got lost and I have no idea where I am, I have no water, no food, and I'd just found an L85A2 AWS on a crashed helicopter so I'm narked because it's a great gun and I don't want to lose it! When I log in it says "Wilderness" which isn't encouraging...

Logged back in a bit later and it does have the position marked now, pretty handy ![tongue out](/inc/images/tongue.gif)

Wow, nice find! You can find north via stars, the sun position and things like that so I guess if you head SE you should come across something?Oddly, the map didn't show my position today - odd! I died to zombies unfortunately, random hit from nowhere knocked me unconscious and I didn't wake before death. I had even built my blood back up to near enough 12000, I was knocked out for ages!
I found a compass and some good kit and headed up to Stary, where I was quickly sniped.
Now have a Ghillie and I'm considering heading north a bit later for some more exploring.
ETA This game is so addictive![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

Does anyone else keep getting stuck at the "loading" screen once you join a server? I can hear the SFX so I seem to have connected but I'm stuck at this point. So far i'vr only managed to connect once to any server.
I had this initially, I *think* the fix was to do the following:- backup the original Arma2oa.exe file (default C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\)
- copy the beta Arma2oa.exe file (default <snip>\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\beta\) to the location of the original (<snip>\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\)
It's a good idea to use SixLauncher if you are not already.

Server setting I think. Most servers will not show your location but once you know where you are it's quite easy to follow roads to get around, even without a compass.
I agree, the map is a bit pointless as there are better versions online. I find the compass is very handy for short cutting through woods rather than following landmarks/edges/roads.Nearly died again after heading north, survived with 150 blood

I found it in a pub in Cherno! I've also found a normal camo suit in a pub in Elektro previously so they can't be all that rare. I do like visiting the pub ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

I fixed the loading screen problem by downloading and installing the arma2 oa patch 1.60 update from
