[-Rusty-]

[QUOTE=Vasili;38358979]okay I found a pistol in the air base and a hatchet and stoked up with loads of food and water, now I'm just gonna try getting to a safe zone without dying.[/QUOTE]

Why don't you play with us man?

[MoarFunz]

God damn it nooo...

[eddy-tt-]

[QUOTE=Vasili;38359109]okay so I logged into a new server and the air tower was filled with shotguns, pistols, food, backpacks, water, helmets etc, literally tons of dupes.[/QUOTE]

Grab it all. :v:

[BlackMac]

Anyone willing to team up? It's hard to work alone.
If anyone is interested feel free to add me on Steam.
And I don't have much to let you know, I've have been killed and killed all over again.

[QUOTE=WolfeClaw;38356685]When I see people getting chased by zombies, I actually take the driver seat and drive that train away from them. :v:

Sometimes I think I'm too nice in this damn game.[/QUOTE]

Drive a train?

I'd hate to think of the consequences of being a passenger on your train

[QUOTE=Vasili;38358006]you know you'd think a military air base would have more guns in it, so far I have only found a large collection of hats.[/QUOTE]

If there was an evacuation, you'd take every damn gun i'm sure, especially if there were a number of soldiers there.

That doesn't stop them forgetting a bit of ammo or at least one weapon, however.

[Vasili]

I jugged it all the way to a city only to be caught off guard and gang raped by 3 bandits whelp

[Jattl]

Does anyone have a spare code? I play a lot of DayZ, and I'll probably buy this soon. I just have to see if it's worth it or not.

[TannerDrummer]

If anyone wants to play, I'm on server 69! Name is Friendly Zombie.

[Waffuru]

By the time I get there, you'll be dead and have logged off to get another char.

                            // exit the program
                            return;
                        }
                    }

                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Step 2):
- Open a command prompt

- Start Menu->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt OR just type "cmd" into the search bar when pressing the windows icon.

- Now copy/paste this long command in and hit enter. The quotes are important.

Code:

%windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.5\csc /platform:x86 "/out:%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\War Z.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\War Z.txt"

It should give you the following message, with no errors:

Code:

Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2008 Compiler version 3.5.30729.5420
for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 3.5
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

- For advanced users: you don't have to use v3.5, I just picked v3.5 because I think almost everyone will have that directory, you can use any that has a csc.exe in it

- csc is the c# compiler if you were wondering

- There should now be a War Z.exe on your desktop. You can exit out of the command prompt.

Step 3:
- Now that you have an exe, move it into your War Z's home directory. The home directory is the one with War Z's WarZlauncher.exe in it

- An example War Z home directory is:

C:\Users\username\Documents\The War Z

- Go into steam and do the normal 'add non-steam game' and browse to the exe you just placed in War Z's home directory and add it (the one with the space! NOT WarZ.exe)

Step 4 (Optional):
- Right click on the newly made game in steam's library and go to properties
- Click Choose Icon and browse to War Z's WarZlauncher.exe and select it to get the War Z icon

If everything is working right, when you launch War Z.exe from steam, two command prompts will pop up. One will say, "Waiting for our other program to finish...", and the other will say, "Waiting for launcher to start War Z...". Then War Z's launcher will start. Log in to the launcher like normal, then when you hit the Play button, both of the command prompts should go away. Then the game should start and you should have the steam overlay.

If you try it and the steam overlay still doesn't work, then try exiting steam entirely and running steam in admin-mode then try again.
I know it is alot but i THINK it does fix it, Enjoy!

METHOD 2!

1 - Download WarZ Steam Overlay Easy Install.rar via MediaFire.

LINK:[url]http://www.mediafire.com/?v6abueaywsbup2z[/url]

2 - Extract the WarZ Steam Overlay Easy Install folder inside of the .rar to your desktop.

3 - Open it and run Extracting Operation.bat. It should be self explanatory from there.

What's Mumble?

[werewolf0020]

had a fucking great session with blackmacky

in short we went with new chars to the closest town we found ( lucky enough he had a pistol and he gave me a shotty) so we go on ith voice chat on steam, first we found a guy we tried to find him but we couldnt so we loot the town for a while make sure its safe

then we run to the ranch where i almost got killed becouse of FUCKING ZOMBIES

then we haded back to the same town but there was a guy ( thank god blackmacky has fucking hawk eyes) so he told me to go first, he diestracted the guy with his shots while i went behind a face i suppose he was in thir dperson becouse i saw his gun clip trough the wall, So in short i go back to the fence look at him for a sec and then BAM!

suddenly a MOTHERFUCKING LOOT MOUNTAIN CAME!

like literally he had a shit load of shotgun and rifle ammo and god knows what else

so i covered blackmatty while he looted the stuff we haded to the safezone when we saw a newbie with a pistol of course black shoots him but we never found the corpose so we go to the safezone

i gave him some mag i cant remember and he dropped a 9mm pistal with a m16 rifle i pick the rifle and the mag but when im about to pick the pistal

KICKED OFF SERVER DUE TO THE PATCH

head to my inventory only to see i only have the shotty and the m16

FFF

but well it was worth it the adrenaline came pretty fuucking hard after i killed the guy :p

I don't know if the temp ban for it is delayed or if my method is different, but I've duplicated a bunch of items an hour ago and my account is still fine.
