    • Feel like its unplayable at times as a solo. I enjoy the extreme nature of it, its what brings me back to it but the reward is not worth it. With how long it takes to gather what you need for a base, to see a wall go down in one explosion is pretty poor but not just that with almost every one you meet theres likr 2 to 4 against you at times. Very rarely meet anyone on their own besides new spawns. Base building is obviously pointless when you get 3 or 4 raiding your base. They oftrn have vehicles because theres 3 or 4 of them going loooking for them. Do enjoy the game but unless youre playing in groups, it feels pretty pointless. Always dont mind losing loot and trying to survive again early doors but when you put hours into it to come up against a team of 3 or 4 either making it a near impossiblr fight or taking your base that you spent hours putting up to take it down through sheer numbers is meh. Feel like there could be things done to increase travelling speed to make it a little better, like bikes for instance
    • Yes, you can set those higher when you want more cars overall. I just set it lower for controlling the server performance. Most important are the trigger values that activate the car event triggers for the DayZ Vehicle Spawner. These values allow for all car spawn points to be used and for cars to spawn quickly and numerously.
    • After installing steamcmd and the DayZ server on Linux, the restart cycle can be configured through a server shutdown time in messages.xml.
      To restart the DayZ server software automatically after a timed shutdown a Linux service is needed.
      This is a systemd configuration file of a DayZ Service on a Linux Server. The DayZServer startup command itself is pretty much the same, as always.
      The nice value is set to -19, so that the OS treats the DayZ service with the highest priority possible. In this thread I will describe controlling the service and other details.

    • i was thinking more of an animation, instead of just spamming
    • Your problem that you have no dea what's the Viver/Picatinny Rail System (RS) which is working on military firearms and Dovetail. First was designed for military usage and then was quite fastly adapted to civilian usage coz army is army but civilian firearm market is the way bigger and Viver/Picatinny RS fastly replaced the "old traditional" Dovetail Hunting scope RS. Youes still there's many companies that makes civil firearms with Dovetail and don't want to switch to Viver/Pica RS but it can be changed in the future. So the game has the same situation, but bad approach or mount systems. It seems that BI devs never get to weapons shops for checking that Optics is optics and mount system is mount system and both of them are sepparated from each other. You can get any optics and mount with one type of rings fitted to the type of scope (25mm, 30mm, 34mm) and RM system of firearm (Viver/Pica, Dovetail). They even don't know that there's adaptors for Kochetov Mount system (Mosin, SKS) and Soviet East-block mount system (AKs, VSS, AS VAL, Vikhr, SVD) from East to Viver/Pica. You are right it's not really hard to implement, just add to optics the inventorySlot for necessary type and you're free to go. What that SVD and AKs accept the hunting optics - not a big deal, asme as allow hunting scopes to be mounted on Viver/Pica. But devs cannot create it idk fōlly or l@zine$$, but nevertheless if community love to eat the 3 scopes 1 smg and no new mechanics related to the DZ world then that community is the bunch of fōôls. DZ could be the good game, but it will never happened, coz everything new here is only duplicate or previous things. Sadly but all the same.
    • Amazing update 🙂 I may take the time to write a detailed list of the things I like and why. I think it would be cool if the guns which take the hunting scope could also take the new sniper scope, and the other way around. I heard this is possible IRL. It would be a cool bit of realism, choices to make and options when modding your guns 🙂  
    • It's a bug that happens to many. Some people just say that you have to open all the ports of DayZ, both in the firewall and in the router... I tried many, in the router (I haven't used the Firewall for years), all those that I found listed online, but I couldn't. And I'm sure of how I set up the router because I use other services with direct external communication that see my PC without problems. For many others, however, it works. I don't know what it depends on... bad luck?
      However, I was able to enter my server by providing the current IP of the connection and my friends entered directly via IP (a function of the launcher).
      However, a lot of patches have passed since that time.
      Try to search for all the ports that are attributed to DayZ and make sure they are open in the router and not blocked by the firewall (if you use it).
      Also check the settings of the server configuration files (even in this I have read various ones, at the time).
      Otherwise you just have to try to provide your current IP (and be sure your router or provider does not update the connection) and let them enter directly.
      It seems to me that it only works with the vanilla launcher, DZSA does not have that function... but I could be wrong, I do not have the gaming PC at hand to check. If you find a possible solution, post it, it could be useful to someone.
    • I moved to community servers a long time ago. I haven't liked any of the official updates in a long long time.  It's controversial but my main complaint is the backpack space shrinking, the item sizes increasing, and the stamina system.    I'd be fine with the stamina system, IF cars were more accessible and didn't require a week to acquire parts and tools to get running. Or if they'd add bicycles. 10 years ago I would have the time to jog across the map. I now have a wife, house to maintain, and two kids. I'm lucky to get on for a few hours each week. I need the unlimited stamina or at least the nerfed stamina for sprinting, so I cna actually play the game.  I don't mind the sparse loot of official, getting sick, etc. But the inventory shrink, item size increase, and severely limited stamina are just deal breakers for me for official.
