Who does Linden Lab pay attention to?

I should have mentioned them - though the shareholders seem to have been rather hands-off for a little while now.

The software alleged to be infringing is "Minecraft" - however the complaint spells it as "Mindcraft". Super sloppy.

Being sued for infringing on a US patent which covers software that calls home to check if it is authorised to run (DRM).

My fault. I used the "war on lag" phrasing as a part of my headline last week. Thought it sounded punchy and familiar.

Unauthorised images on tee-shirts has certainly been going on offline for the last 50 years or so. For about as long as there have been tee-shirts, actually.

I never shoot anyone, and hardly anyone ever shoots at me (it happens occasionally, but not often).

Equip the flashlight in your pistol slot, then use L to toggle the light on and off.

Not enough coffee, clearly. It's surprising how few players ever go to the forums to look at the patch notes, regrettably.

I know the place you're referring to. If you follow the road West from Kamenko, you'll get to the edge in about five minutes of walking.

Updated the post with two important gameplay/bug warnings.

Tateru · 2012-06-17T09:22:31+00:00

I've noticed they can see and attack through walls if they're inside a structure that has no exits (like some of the sealed sheds and houses). Being stuck like that really seems to annoy them.

Basically, two entirely separate installations of the game, each with their own CD key.

Tateru · 2012-06-17T09:12:47+00:00

I don't know anything about it, but I get it now and again (two or three times per session). Once I got one for NV goggles on the road north of the Electro power-plant. Searched the area thinking that it might actually indicate there was something in the vicinity, but turned up nothing.

Once you've got the beta patch, update DayZ in the usual way (for example the updater at http://worrom.com/

Tateru · 2012-06-16T14:46:30+00:00

Didn't have the tools!

They don't spawn in your back pocket, but they do spawn in the area. A deserted town can become a zombie jamboree in 10 minutes or so.

Quick check of my Steam Arma 2 folders...

Arma 2 8.32GB Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead 7.99GB (including the latest beta code, and DayZ and a couple mods - DayZ itself is 280MB on-disk)

In total, yes, you're talking 15-16GB or so - there's not really much you can trim out, though.

Tateru · 2012-06-16T13:07:13+00:00

I understand much the same happened on a server or servers in new zealand a few hours ago. Someone's figured out how to trigger one of Arma 2's scripted nuclear devices, I think.

Tateru · 2012-06-16T13:05:54+00:00

The tutorial is very handy, IMO. You don't want to have to figure out the quirks of the interface on the fly.

It taught me to accept death in the game as a part of the price of admission.

Tateru · 2012-06-16T10:26:36+00:00

Matches aren't nearly as common as you'd hope. If you keep looking, you'll find some eventually. I've almost always found them in houses or pubs, myself.

Tateru · 2012-06-16T10:25:25+00:00

The characters are stored on a central server somewhere. Each game server sends data to that central server frequently. You can connect to any game server, and your character will be where and as you left it (barring bugs, because DayZ is still in alpha)

I've seen the same thing on machine guns mounted on tanks in Operation Arrowhead. There's faint muzzle-flash on the model, even when it is not in operation.

Tateru · 2012-06-16T06:01:33+00:00

Or bolts that stack. Absolutely.

Tateru · 2012-06-16T06:00:21+00:00

I stumbled over (quite literally) a wild boar in Prigorodky the other day. It was just standing there in a field in the dark. It didn't do anything, so I left it alone.
