Validate both your Arma 2 and OA install, you'll need to re-run Arma 2 then OA - then you should be able to launch CO again. I had the same issue, seems that it only downloaded part of the update fsr.
I've not said you were hackers, i just said that using a hacked weapon is bad form - but it is hard to know what is and what isn't without specifically checking the wiki before picking it up. I know I've almost been caught out by it a couple of times.
I also know that now you've been told its a hacked weapon that you'll throw it away, because you're not hackers.
HandOfBlood posted a screenshot on the 1st page of this thread showing that he had the M4A1 with 203 + suppressor, I hadn't seen it in DayZ before, and so went to check the Wiki just to make sure. There's not that many variants of the M4 in the game, but basically the only silenced M4 is the one with the red dot.
But I've seen people with the VSS, or the SVD with a night scope on. There be some dodgy chunts around.
i love my m4a1 , and ill happily shoot you in the face with it.
It is a hacked weapon, whether you hacked it in or not doesn't matter. It should, in theory, be replaced by a Makarov at some point.
The question is, now that you know it's a hacked weapon, will you drop it? Bearing in mind that although you probably won't get a global ban for using it a couple of times, you might after continuous use.
Today has been a pretty rubbish day for our group.
Lost my AS50 due to some bad inventory management on my part - dropped on ground, think a tree ate it.
Almost got capped in a supermarket while looking at my map, thankfully a mate was just behind me and was able to shoot the guy before he got me.
2 of our group got killed at the NW airfield, first guy was killed in a horrible friendly fire incident (note to him : Comms are there for a reason), and then the 2nd guy got killed while guarding the first blokes body. Lost a mk48, NVGs, GPS.
They then both spawned at the Elektro, fixed a car up, drove north to Vybor to meet up with the rest of us and promptly got killed by a guy with a DMR (who we then killed).
It might be a case of having to roll back to 1.7.0... but then I think that had issues too... either way, from reading the DayZ forums 1.7.1.2 is broke.
Current Changelog: * [FIXED] Server item cleanup error (thanks Dwarden for identifying) * [FIXED] Server weighted random object error (thanks Dwarden for identifying) * [REVERT] 5 second delay for disconnecting (will need to wait till new method developed) * [REVERT] Disabling of interior raycasting (will mean some buildings you will be invisible/can't be hit in for the moment as they don't have view LODs) * [REVERT] Infected sight based on head not body direction (infected glace around alot, this meant that they had super view directions. Now locked at body direction) * [FIXED] Area not checked for existing infected before spawning new ones ("blind faith" that it had not made a mistake didn't work) * [FIXED] Crippling performance issues caused by loot items never being cleaned up (loot now cleaned up) * [FIXED] Tent pitching (Who the hell codes tent location checks TWICE before pitching? Oh apparently I do) * [NEW] Marakov spawn rate increased * [NEW] Small chance Mararov ammo will spawn on an infected * [FIXED] Converting magazines didn't work if you had MORE than one of that magazine type (now works as intended) * [NEW] Tweaked audibility and visibility values for kneel walking * [REVERT] Secret nerf of prone (you noticed) * [NEW] Can select gender for each new character * [FIXED] Toolboxes aren't spawning (classname error in loot table) * [NEW] Small tweaks to AI zombie routines to improve performance * [REVERT] New spawn timer mechanism (back to the old one for now)
Good job you didn't try to take the ATV over the Dam. Hots and Heenan (mostly Heenan), took our fully loaded 4x4 over it, got to the end and blew up. We'd just raided a large camp and came away with 2 vehicles, 2 sets of NVGs, Mk48 LMG. Heenan died instantly in the explosion and hots needed patching up. We then logged onto another server to meet up with another of our group, and found an ATV already on the Dam.
Was it a grey Marines Huey? Cos those ones can't be fixed - they're meant to contain 'uber' loot, AS50, L85s, NVGs etc, but they've been broken now for a few patches (I've yet to ever find anything either in or around them). I've heard that they're fixed in servers running the latest OA Beta Patch and 1.7, but I've yet to confirm that.
The choppers that can be repaired look exactly like the one I posted up there - with no external damage, except for the broken windscreen.
The best way to find vehicles is to search the places that most likely contain tents - they also usually have cars etc located close by, particularly if its a large camp. Biggest score our group found was about 8 or so tents containing various type of military grade stuff, and 3 cars. Naturally, we emptied the tents into the back of the cars, then ran over the tents with the vehicles before driving off. Sadly (karma if you will), when we logged back in the next day the tents and cars had disappeared from where we saved them
The cars / choppers are set spawn points tho, and will always spawn in the same place on each server. They are limited, and one would have to be destroyed before it gets respawned. In a bit of searching, I found 3 fixable choppers in exactly the same spot on 3 different servers.
Yup, wont be able to play on 1.6.0.1 servers with the 1.7 files - but its a simple case of downloading the 1.6.0.1 code file and overwriting the 1.7 one. Easy!
Problem with 1.7 is that its kind of an unfinished patch, Rocket released it before going to E3 but it introduced a fair few bugs (no backpacks spawning being a big one).
Alive almost 2 weeks now, ran out of food two nights ago so didnt want to play but login today to find spawned back at the coast lucky for there was a goat nearby then as I was running north I also found a pig so got plenty of meat now.
Errr..... is that your screenshot HandofBlood?
Because the weapon you have there isn't included as default in DayZ. There's a silenced M4 - the M4A1 CCO SD - but it comes without the torch and the grenade launcher, it also has a red dot scope. Yours has the holographic one (and is an M4A1 HOLO SD). If you picked it up off a dead body, you might wanna get rid of it (if you haven't already), and if you obtained it another way - you might wanna get rid of it.
Using weapons not in the game can get you banned permanently.
