Are you trying 1.7.0 servers Latvian?

i think i tried all of servers with ping less than 100 :d

1.7.0 fixed the time it takes to get into a ingame(if you get into a server now, it's almost guaranteed you get ingame), reduced ingame lagg(including stuff taking forever to get into your backpack). Added a few new small bugs, but hey, DayZ has been suffering from server problems ever since it boomed, if he finally got rid of that it means he can actually start working on the game, instead of on the servers.

You need to first get the Arma 2 beta patch, it's all explained in the dayz forums 1.7.0 patch thread (under announcements)

Well, I'm getting stuck at "Loading" now, too. Was fine earlier today. Guess there might be another database failure like before when it reached 1 million characters.

is there any way to make a something like stash? for example hide bag in the forest and store stuff there?  i bet it is not would be cool though....

Yes, you can set up a tent. After you find one.

does that tent "travels" through servers? or it is only staying in one exact server where you set it up?

[Xant]

Only one server, of course, otherwise there'd be tents everywhere.

here comes next question   ...prepare...... is there any way to remove that spam on left side of joining leaving connecting  etc players?
