From memory, press "0" (zero) and a menu will come up - follow the options available, there is a option to not use the tinting.
 

[Cons]

can anyone help me? for some reason I cannot download things from dayz commander... i get a little red triangle instead. i tried re-installing Arma 2 OA and it still didnt work. Should I try to re-install Arma 2?

[joelo2214]

go to your internet connection and properties section. then go to internet protocol and click "use the following dns server direccions". preferred dns server put this 8.8.8.8 and alternative dns server put 8.8.4.4  Try this it helped me

I landed next to the lighthouse went to Kamyshovo, then all the way to Elektrozavodsk and explored almost all of it for loot... NOTHING AT ALL!

I slept for an hour in my tent (the only thing I found [the first house I checked in Kamyshovo]) hoping it'd reset loot or something.

Walked around for 20 minutes with no luck and realized... I had seen 0 Zed's, 0 AI, and 1 cow since I left Kamyshovo (there were a lot of Zeds there [and 0 bandits]).

Also the first time I played this I walked into Kamyshovo and was immediately killed by a bandit 10 minutes into playing.

My character is currently dying of dehidration, starvation, and he's freezing. He's at about 30%-45% health.

I have Support call and the ammunition tab is empty (which is where bullets, food, drinks, and medical stuff goes.) but the camping tent I found goes in the ammunition tab so I have no idea.

Black is where I died the first time & Red is where I've been so far...

Same thing here, I ran around for 45 minutes or so before getting killed by some bandits (no loot), restarted and found a gas can, then ran around for another 45 minutes while a seemingly invisible bandit took shots at me every 30 seconds (still no loot).

Maybe the latest OA beta patch?
Make sure you're using this one : 103.718

That may be the problem. I always use the beta with DaiZy so that could be the problem... I'll test it and reply.

I'll also try the beta patch 103.781

[FaithRM]

Playing with full OA rather than the beta fixed the problem...
Big complaint! add a tiny bit more fuel to the plane. I didn't even make it to Skalisty Proliv and my temp dropped to nothing half way swimming before I even could get on land! By the time I got to Kamyshovo I was almost 3/4 blood. I got to Elektrozavodsk with a little more than half blood. FINALLY found matches to make a fire which I didn't even need at that point because of the weather. I got to sneak up on a bandit with a rusty m4a1 and got a couple medical supplies and backpack. Then I died from...

Starvation, hypothermia from having to swim to land, 2 zombie hits (through a wall & floor), and wound infection. I used drinks, bandages, morphine, wipes (for wounds), painkillers, and a fire throughout that life.

Also I don't know if you enabled using a bloodbag but I hope that they're enabled if I find one.

Also you should look into why I can't spawn items like ammunition, blood bags, bandages, morphine, heatpacks, matches, food, water in Support Call. I can spawn everything except items/loot.

Keep me updated; people haven't reported those kind of issues in a long time - and it was usually related to mismatched beta patches.

Anyway, once the Arma3 project is released (*), I might make one last big update to 2018 & Factions. I have learned quite a lot while modding Arma3 and today I'm a bit ashamed when I look at my DaiZy releases! ^^'
There's so much that needs to be redone, optimized - some of the work-arounds I used have "noob" written all over them...
Since I began modding with DayZ, I was quite overwhelmed with the complexity of the mod, thinking that many issues couldn't really be dealt with (like the game slowing down other time).
Since then I've realised that many more could be done to achieve a 100% playable and stable "dayz SP mod"; but it needs time & motivation (and I lack the former, but certainly not the latter ^^).
If it happens, the install process will be much more user-friendly, as well as mission-making on DaiZy! ;)


* By the way, for those who are waiting on the "Ravage" project : I couldn't acquire permission to use DayZmod assets in Arma3 (both Razor and BI are telling that none of them can grant me such permission, I do wonder who can then...), I'm in the process of replacing/creating all those assets - wich includes zombie animations & sounds amongst other things - I'm sorry to say that this is gonna take a long time. :(


@FaithRM : You are not meant to keep the plane, nor have time to land : just look for land and eject (don't forget to manually open the parachute with the action menu!).
Keep in mind that 2018 is much, much harder than Factions (and no, there's no bloodbags, see the first pages about that).

I'd suggest changing the first post specifying the 103718 patch as the one to use, same for the Dayz version - this could explain features misbehaving.

FaithRM - once you start the game, start climbing gently, the plane can glide quite some distance once in runs out of fuel. You should easily reach Elektro. I may spawned in a strange place but I once actually managed to land the plane at Balota. Rather pleased with myself, I exited the plane, walking away and it exploded behind me...

I switched off of the beta (which was the latest version) but now I'm getting an entirely different error:

http://prntscr.com/639h5v

I coped/recopied all the files multiple times. Was getting the same thing with factions till I gave up on it. Figured it was corrupted files in the mod download. I was not getting any error messaged with 2018 when I used the beta, just broken spawns.

EDIT: Through some google work I've discovered that I might be an idiot. I just ran a standard arma and OA mission and it worked. Still gives me an error message about a vehicle missing (new error) upon starting the mission, but it runs. Will start a new game and see if spawns and such are fixed.

[Eric the Viking]

Hey cushseth,

I believe you'll see this error if you don't use the Beta patch.

You can download the correct 103718 patch here. I'm pretty sure it's fine to just run it and it will overwrite the existing patch.
 

[cushseth]

I go it to work, thanks. The game ran when I used beta, but had no loot. I fixed the problem when using the non-beta version and loot is back, everything seems to be going smoothly now.

Got Factions running, but now it's having the loot problem lol, but that's a headache for another day.

[Lurchington]

Is this compatible with Support Call?
