Uncle Zed

In the zombie_territories.xml file, you have static zombies (smin and smax) and dynamic zombies (dmin and dmax). Does anyone know how these actually function? Is the static zombies the number that will always be there and the dynamic zombies have a chance of spawning and if they do, they are between the dmin and dmax numbers?

I did all that, but I still don't feel like I'm getting the level of zedz that I want.

I'm not sure that dynamic works too well. There's places where I put a min of 10 zombies and there's hardly any there...

They released an update earlier today, and it was for BE. BE was causing the crashes. If someone's PC broke from a BSOD, they must have already had a jacked up system.

After this post, I would BSOD after 10 minutes of playing, every time. The folks at BE finally sent me a new file for BE and now I'm not crashing, at least not during my short 20 minute sessions I've had time for since I replaced the file.

Are you sure that server hasn't been upgraded to Stable?

Stable and Experimental are currently on the same version.

Escape still works for me.

I haven't been monitoring this closely, but I just noticed for the second time that my server time acceleration doesn't seem to me working. My in-game start time is 6am, which means it's 6am every time the server restarts. I have serverTimeAcceleration=6; in the config. It's now about 2 1/2 hours after the last restart, so it should be night time by now by the server ti is just after 9:30am, which means time is moving at a 1:1 ratio. Has anyone else noticed this?

I found out that with serverTimePersistent=1 enabled, time acceleration doesn't work. I switched that to 0 and it worked fine again.

Have you uninstalled and reinstall the game?

My client for DayZ updated to 149464. I ran the Steam update on my GSP rented server and it said it completed but when the server starts, it's still on 149442. I ran the Steam update again and it said it was already up to date. Why would Steam fail to update my DayZ SA server to the current version? It worked for previous versions but not this one.

I talked to my server host. It appears that all this time, my server's been on Stable branch (0.63) but I've been able to play on it with the Experimental client files.

Ok, so this is interesting. My client version is on Experimental but it seems I've been playing on my server, which appears to have been on Stable. The version in my server log is 0.63.149442. My client version, which is Experimental according to Steam is 0.63.149.464. I thought Experimental went to 0.64? I'm really confused about this.

Where did you get your server config file? It must be missing this line: instanceId = 1; // DayZ server instance id to identify number of instances per box and their storage folders with persistence files

I don't have to drink every 10 minutes. I keep 3 canteens and 1 water bottle and rarely do I end up draining more than 2 of them before I have a chance to fill them up again. Thirst isn't an issue like it used to be.

I set serverTimePersistent=1; in my server config but when I restart the server, it goes back to the time set in serverTime. Here's the lines that have to do with server time: serverTime="2018/7/27/06/00"; // Initial in-game time of the server. "SystemTime" means the local time of the machine. Another possibility is to set the time to some value in "YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM" format, f.e. "2015/4/8/17/23" . serverTimeAcceleration=6; // Accelerated Time (value 0-24)// This is a time multiplier for in-game time. In this case, the time would move 24 times faster than normal, so an entire day would pass in one hour. serverTimePersistent=1; // Persistent Time (value 0-1)// The actual server time is saved to storage, so when active, the next server start will use the saved time value. Does serverTimePersistent not work? Am I doing it wrong?

That would kind of defeat the purpose. If you set it to SystemTime, then it'll always be whatever the time is on the box it's hosted on, so then the time will be persistent. I want to start the server at 6am and have a full 24 hour cycle in the 4 hours before I restart, which it's doing now, but if I need to restart the server during it's 4 hour cycle, I want it to go back to the time it was before I manually restarted it.

It's a known bug:

Cars are buggy. By default, no cars spawn in the current version so if they are spawning on the server you are on, the server owner added them. You shouldn't expect them to work properly yet.

I haven't had any problem finding an appropriate amount of loot in the military buildings.

These are disabled by BI. Is there a reason they've disabled them? Are they not stable?

GTX Gaming has been great since I switched to them and their prices are reasonable.

Only thing that I experienced was that when I spawned in after the update, my players thirst was flashing red and my hunger was solid red. It wasn't that way before the update.

LOUD NOISES!
