Pixel Crisis

Just throwing this in to this post ... double tapping "Y" makes a gun shot sound that can be heard by other players but not you ... though it doesn't actually fire a round.

Xbox 1 X - wired - open nat (cone) Need to be able to log in to servers as well - has been a major issue for all of us. Alos, the game lags and almost freezes when opening a dead players loot when they have a lot of items ...

https://dayz.com/blog/status-report-28-august-2018 DayZ will unlock at 7PM CEST on August 29. You can use this tool to check your local time for the release. Hopefully my relink of the "tool" didn't make it so everyone see's Florida when they click it lol. If so, just click "change your location" on the bottom of the right box.

+1 well put :)

Yes, have you never looked back over your shoulder while hiking / running / etc? It's not a full 180 degrees but you can do it ...

Nice, thanks for the read :) Been wondering about this for years!

Or asking on the games' forum, which is what I did. Though I appreciate the seemingly half-cocked response to my question...they don't need defending - I just had a question. And as mentioned PUBG has no issues binding auto run, free look, and emotes to a controller. I realize everything that goes in to controlling DayZ on mouse and keyboard so I'm sure it's a big task to get this all working on controller - but those options are a big part of the game - not having them implemented from Test Day 1 for Xbox is just silly. Have a source for that information by chance?

Would be cool but I doubt it. I figured they'd just be getting more of my money so just a few people can work on this title yet again. What I'm hoping for is that a ton of people buy this game on console and Bohemia finally gets the game the resources it needs to become a complete and finished version - quickly. I've been playing DayZ since the mod was first released as well. We rented our own server back in the day, whitelisted it and modded it all out - anyone remember "Candy Mountain" :). I purchased Arma 3 just to play better versions of the various mods and even picked up the Standalone before my PC crapped out. I came across the news that this was coming to console just a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. But the fun for us was building (big walled in bases), boating, flying and trading in the mods (chainsawing down trees for wood and other fun gathering that was in the mods and working perfectly years ago), huge firefights etc., and from what I've read, this version, like the standalone - is still so far away from what was created by gamers modding Arma 6 years ago that everyone is still concerned about the final product. I'm just crossing my fingers that this will be what we're hoping it will be - and that it becomes that idea sooner rather than later - I want it to succeed.

Ummm wow really? Is there an autorun key as well or is that missing too ... this will be terrible for the players if you can't autorun and watch your back at the same time as you run 30 minutes across the map. Hopefully they'll just use the pubg button mapping if it's been an issue figuring out how to assign them for some reason. Why would this be missing?

This is kind of a throwback to when the DayZ mod was first released and I like the idea of this. You start off with a Makarov on the shore and hope to get out of the city. It also gave you something to fight back with against the kitted players that have been on the server for a while and that will be farming the shoreline for noobies eventually. The joy of winning a firefight against a kitted player with just the starting pistol was awesome.

This would be a bad change IMO. Sitting around the campfire with friends before logging out was a fun aside and helped with immersion.

Welp, didn't die last night! Did everything the same as I've been doing ACCEPT ... I had a fire axe and I didn't aim where the dot was, I aimed where it seemed that the axe was in the physical space when swinging it ... so that's the game changer I guess. With this epiphany, I'd have to say that some major tweaking of melee weapon damage and hit boxes needs to be done. ;) Thanks for the tips guys!

Right on guys, thanks for the bits of info. Between your comments and the reading over those couple of posts I found, I guess it's just the current state of affairs in-game. Zombies were buffed and my lag / server side hit registration are likely the culprits as I'm probably getting body shots even though it looks like head shots. I'll try varying where I hit the Zeds and I'll just have to run like the wind when the eagle eyed Zeds come at me from 100+ yards away while I'm already crouching behind a bush ... that, or I'll continue my circle strafing around them until I figure out where on my screen I have to hit them. Any other tips / tricks?

Found these topics where other players touch on the points I brought up ... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/182234-post-patch-zombie-feedback/#entry1871615 http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/181496-it-has-happened/

Has anyone tried Large Address Aware with this for the 32 bit app that can't use more than 2 GB of RAM? If so, did it help? http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/
