No, I have some video but I've yet to edit it down. It's not something that can really be captured in a screen shot. The character experiencing the glitch will appear normal to himself but to others he will appear to move sliding across the landscape while moving his arms as if switching inventory items over and over and over again. I'm thinking now that it may have something to do with switching to certain items while crouched but once you complete another action the bug stops. It's an elusive one, but I have witnessed it happening while watching other players as well.

I've tried to start reporting these bugs. They are difficult because the player that you see "glitching" doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, so lone wolf players will never know anything is wrong. I realized yesterday that when switching to the .45 my player appears stuck in a weapon changing loop to nearby players. I reported it here, please feel free to upvote and leave comments. Though these bugs seem elusive, there is a reason that they are happening. Placing them all under the same umbrella of "player / zed glitch through wall ugh!!" does nothing to help development. So try to take note of every thing that is going on with both characters in the scene and the scene itself and make your bug report as detailed as possible. Thanks!

What's your favorite house/building in the game to acquire items?

That's a gif not a meme sir, get it straight or go back to looking at cat videos . I like gifs especially this one. -
What's your favorite house/building in the game to acquire items?
Dr. Goner replied to Johnny Depth's topic in General Discussion
Memes should die. I like the one story yellow houses, they have wood siding on the back. They have a kitchen that normally has lots of food. I find a bag of rice every time I go into one of those. They're my main objective as a fresh spawn in order to get my healthy status. Here's the room: Here's the house: -
Changelog: Stable Branch: 0.34.115106
Dr. Goner replied to mattlightfoot's topic in News & Announcements
Make an official bug report and attach a small video link with examples of the sound if you really want to help out. Here's where: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/bug_report_page.php -
I only get the timer when I try to log into a server that I just logged out of. I can switch servers without experiencing it. I think, now you have me questioning my sanity because I thought that feature was implemented to prevent ghosting. EDIT: Also, just from following rocket on twitter, reddit, twitch streams, and here, it seems the main priorities at the moment are zombie and loot respawning. While they work on these larger issues, they are fixing bugs, adding items, and making improvements to the mechanics where they can. Honestly, I play a lot of alpha games and this one is rolling along much better than most.
-
Try this thread. That issue is being worked on as well but very few people are experiencing it. Rocket is suggesting that it may be due to a firewall setting on your machine and or router. This one is difficult because most aren't experiencing it and it can't be reproduced by the devs. Discussion here with Rocket's comments: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164323-update-161-player-proximity-desync-issue-solutionsworkarounds/ This is being worked on and there is currently a fix being tested in experimental. Many many many people experienced this and it didn't take long to resolve at all. Should be pushed to stable on Wednesday or before.
-
You don't have to wait two days. You can switch to experimental or drop your stuff and have fun getting geared up again. As far as the walking is concerned, have you tried right clicking? Not trying to be rude, I understand that it can be counter intuitive when the character is stuck slow walking.

Deans wants to bring Base Building Mechanics from Dead Linger - video
Dr. Goner replied to TEST_SUBJECT_83's topic in General Discussion
I really hope they go with a fortification system similar to Project Zomboid. Basically, you would have the ability to bar doors and windows, build fences, things like that. You would be editing current structures as opposed to building entirely new ones. Of course, you would also be able to tear them down. -
Seems like what they found, and why my fix worked was due to the fact that if you were in proximity to anyone with the same item in the same state as yourself there was general chaos, this is why dumping my gear fixed my problem: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1xibwg/number_1_priority_for_the_dayz_today_10feb14/cfbrt8h The link I posted originally to the steam FPS improvement topic will also still help to greatly improve FPS.

I've been thinking about going sans back pack. Just a tac vest, shirt, and cargo pants. Yesterday, due to questionable bugged gear, I started only carrying a hunting rifle for self defense. I want to try and keep all my survival essentials in my clothing and fill a back pack with medical and star doing the reddit rescue force stuff.

To others who think I'm trolling this is Matt Lighfoot working on the issue on reddit. This issue is directly related to pre patch gear and players proximity to it. Here's the link: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1xbygt/fps_drop_is_caused_by_pre_115106_gear/cfblhwq?context=1 EDIT: Best official bug report I've found: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=8308 Also, Rocket is talking about it on twitter. I'm not trying to be a jerk here but those of you who accused me of trolling and not knowing what I'm talking about need to take time to analytically evaluate things from time to time. Just because something inconveniences you or doesn't fit into your world view doesn't mean it is not a problem. Here's where to attach the files that are requested in Matt's reddit comment: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=8477

Changelog: Stable Branch: 0.34.115106
Dr. Goner replied to mattlightfoot's topic in News & Announcements
This is definitely correct. I have a thread going here if anyone would like to contribute. There is some new info out there that it may only be "badly damaged" pre patch stuff. I wasn't able to test every item. Are the devs going to comment on this soon? No rush, there's just a lot of speculation going on right now. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172768-how-i-fixed-fps/page-2 -
I'm not trolling anyone. This fix has helped a lot of people and I clearly stated that I wasn't able to test each individual item so the best bet is just to dump it all and make sure those you play near dump all there gear. A lot of folks on reddit are saying that the "badly damaged" textures are corrupt and causing the issue, so you could start with those. The other link I posted is just a good general tool for improving FPS.
-
I tested this on two separate characters. Hardcore and regular servers. I think the FPS guide definitely helped but I have yet to have a massive frame drop or a crash since ditching that old gear. Keep in mind when playing with my pre patch gear I was generally "fine" it wasn't until grouping up with several others that the problems started and mass crashing ensued. EDIT: Also should note that after making these changes I did experience massive drops while playing near a friend with pre patch gear. When he logged off my frames spiked immediately and stabilized.
-
This is actually recommended in the guide link I posted. And if you're not having problems, it seems like you have nothing to worry about. Just keep doing what you're doing. But this did work for me and several others have reported the same thing under other names (flickering gear etc.) Rocket himself said he was going to look into it on a reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1xbygt/fps_drop_is_caused_by_pre_115106_gear/ His comment is about half way down and he usually doesn't respond to "really bad trolls".

New Patch Memory Leak: Possible fix/workaround
Dr. Goner replied to antykain's topic in General Discussion
I just logged into a hardcore server for the first time since patch. Game completely stopped responding after five minutes. I logged back in and ran to the woods, got rid of all gear (all prepatch as I hadn't played harcore since early last week) now I'm running around Cherno for half an hour or more, naked, at 30 fps which was normal for me pre patch. -
FPS DROPS LAST PATCH - MORE INFORMATION (SPAM TO DEVS)

Critical Unplanned Update of 0.34 to Stable 7 February 2014
Dr. Goner replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
Not sure what's going on. Pre patch and playing the current version on experimental I was fine, but now my frames just slowly start creeping down over the course of 30 minutes. After that, if I don't go near a town I can play at around 30 in the woods with occasional drops into the teens. Like I said I never had trouble before this patch went to stable and normally I was getting better frames than most of the people I play with. I would love to know the reason why some people are not experiencing this. Basically, people have suggested that it's everything from a GPU memory leak (nothing I can fix) to drop all your gear, but I've died since the patch so I just can't see that being the problem. Any actual information would be greatly appreciated. -

Get back under your bridge and clean your shorts like a good little troll. -
Thanks but you really should make it known that editing .pbo files could result in a VAC ban.

Got rid of flickering items. Played for thirty minutes and the game crashes. Also, picked up items after server restart and they are now flickering. It has nothing to do with flickering items. If anything, the flickering is just a symptom of the larger problem.
