    Spawn with friends system

    TBH my best memories about this game are everytime I struggled and laughed with friends when they discover the map for the first time and butcher every city names/spelling while trying to figure it out on izurvive 😀 so it should definitly stay like this on vanilla imo but you have plenty of modded servers that allow you to choose your spawn location if you want to team up quickly

    Returning Player

    OK good to know. For the mags I already have plenty. Every single time I looted Tisy MB, I found several ones.

    Returning Player

    I think there is smoke on West heli spawn only, not on East (but not 100% sure, long time I didn't see a East crash site, I think it was on 1.0 ...) BTW the 3 West heli crash sites I found in 1.01 were not very generous. It was mostly basic military clothes (patrol pants, military vest) but no weapons/ammo at all. But on one of them I found a mil-tent, which was a good confort. I'm still looking for an East crash site, in hope to find the holy SVD 🤗

    Console Noob help

    If you want a build just for DayZ you don't need a huge setup, if you have a low budget you can probably mount one for cheap with used parts. My setup is 7 (or 8 may be) years old : i5-2500K CPU, GTX570 GPU, 8Go RAM, Corsair Force3 SSD. Sure I don't set all the graphics in game at maximum quality, but everything is at least medium or high, and performances are decent.

    So... 4x4 car. Lets talk about it for a tiny bit.

    I honestly don't think so. Well ok sure it's not perfect, but I own 3 cars and use them on a daily basis, on various types of road/area. I didn't had the "bounce" bug that often. Only once or twice the car started to act a bit bouncy, just stop it, get out and get in and it's fine. Sure it's not very powerfull, especially when you tru to climb a pretty serious slope or when offroad, but slowly and surely you will get where your aiming. On the coastal highway you can hit the 100Km/h quickly. If you hit an obstacle at less than 25Km/h damages are very rare, but if you hit at 50Km/h or more sure your beautiful ride will be fine for the junkyard... The biggest risk for te car imho is when you going down a slope and hit a tree or a fence. The car may be not powerfull enough to climb the slop backward in reverse gear, and the car will be stuck forever as you can't push it or tract it. And the biggest risk for players is getting in the passenger seat while the car is still running very slowly or just stopped with engine still runnning. The guy might get launched 5-10m meters in the air. I recommand stopping the engine before any passenger get in. It needs to be handled carefully, but it's a wonderfull tool in the game and I'm having a lot fun with it. 😁

    Car tents

    Hi there, Is there favorite places for car tents spawn ? Didn't saw a single one since 1.01 (but found few civilian and military tents) thx
  9. yes a backpack can be ruined too if you have a ruined clothes (backpack or any other clothes) on you , it still works fine as long as you don't remove it. If you remove it (or if you find it already ruined, like on another guy corpse), you will not be able to wear it again

    Offroad Hatchback Black Screen

    Hi, I got that 2 times and it didn"t went well : - the car was half into the ground. I got in, then car crash sound, black screen aaaaaand... I'm dead... The car despawned in the process - I was driving next to the nothern border of the map, thinking myself "why not driving in the debug zone, should be faster" (yeaah I'm dumb sometimes....). Crash sound, black screen, character dead, car despawned. Are you able to get out of the car alive ?

    Option to place barrel - bug ?

    all the inventory inventory glitches are from far the most annoying bugs introduced by 1.01... I hope this will be fix on the next patch

    Option to place barrel - bug ?

    it works fine for me (vanilla server), but its very picky with the environnement you try to place the barrel flat ground, not too close to trees/bushes/rocks, sometimes even in high grass it doesn't work. Pretty much the same constraint than placing tents I guess but yeah just dropping it works fine as well, I don't think it changes the persistance duration of the barrel
  13. have my beans friend I'm going a bit further and would like to be able to attach a glow stick to the backpack straps (and may be to a combat/tactical vest as well), and be able to carry your rifle in the meantime. If I remember well this was possible in the mod, and this is absolutly realistic (most of glow sticks have a small hook exactly for this use) Obviously this should work for glowstick only, and not for torch or flare

    Sound glitch- anyone else hear it?

    I get that quite often too. When I log back next to my base, approx 15-20s after the login, I hear the sound of a tent or barel opening.

    Adding different coordinate spawns

    you should get in touch with this guy :

    Where do civilian tents spawn?

    yeah sure, it's my ali*** caverns: mosin, shotgun, CR571, shotgun/mosin ammo, food/drink/veggie, cooking pot (and of course plenty of useless clothes like everywhere). I also like the house painted yellow and green with 2 doors. Pretty much same loot.
  17. The one with "Customize character" is the default character you can customize yourself, and that should be used when you log on a new hive. So it's not a real character, more like a template. But anyway there is a known bug and your customized character is never used, when you kill you character (or connect to a new hive) the game just choose a random guy/girl. When you have "rename" it's a character that exists in a hive (but I don't think you can know which one) It really looks like your are connected to the same hive than previously, but your first character just died (or wiped because of a bug eventually). If you really had to characters on 2 differents hives, you should see 3 guys on the main screen : - the customized "template" that is not a real character and is useless right now - the first char on hive n°1 (1PP for example) - the second char on hive n°2 (3PP for example) I have 4 char right now on my main screen : customized, 1PP stable, 3PP stable and on from a private community server with it's own hive. If I select one of the 3 "real" char and I click "Play" it will automatically connect to the last used server attached to the hive of the char (so last 1PP stable, last 3PP stable, or the private server dedicated hive) so the char selection screen is pretty much like a shortcut to help you connect to the good hive. If you go browse a server manually, depending of the hive the server you choose is using, you will automaticaly log with your char if you have one on this hive, or it will create a new one if it's the first time you connect to this hive. I don't think you can because your char is not stored locally on your computer. But from my experience the char selection is not bugged, just a bit strange and not very intuitive. But once you understand how it works (see above) you'll see it's reliable. That said, with your description I'm pretty sure your fist char died, and that might be a bug if your sure you were not killed when logging out (you always wait the 15s or you press "Right now" without waiting the timeout ?) But I think the char selection screen has nothing to do with that

    Where do civilian tents spawn?

    I found few in civilian houses (the red one with 2 doors, and the green one with a door up to stairs). Also found one in a small shack (the smallest shack made of rusty metal panels, that are usually in the backyard of houses, or in fields).

    Stable Update 1.0150627

    This is not only with ammo, same behavior with all items that you can pile (got the same thing with burlap strips or with planks)
  20. Your just out of luck, I've seen a shitload of it, mostly in small industrial buildings (like garage, or repair stations). They often have flashlight in it by the way. But the CLE is definitly an IA trying to turn us crazy. Since 1.01, I spent 10 days (not joking) without seeing a single hacksaw to get planks. Then I found out that planks can be harvested with an axe as well... (*insert Red Forman "Dumbass" joke here*). The very next day I started to found hacksaw everywhere and now have 4 in my stashes... PS : @Eno , love your Helpy Helpers stories in "How was your Dayz" topic dude, waiting for the next one 😉

    Keep items in safe

    Same on my own server. The last wipe was when 1.01 update was applied (not really sure it was linked tho), but I was able to restore with the function provided by the GSP. Since then everything is going pretty smoothly. But to be 100% honnest, I'm almost the only one to use this server on a regular basis. From what I see on the logs, almost only hoppers come in/out. So except my own bases and stashs (not that much), there are probably close to no others persistant objects. I'm pretty sure the number of persistent items on a single server have a big impact on performances/wipes/crashes. But anyway, even if it would be no persistance issues in the future (I hope so) you can still have others survivors finding your hidden stash/tent and loot it. So not getting attached to your stuff is still the most valuable advice for DayZ IMHO 😉

    Keep items in safe

    or just find a barrel/tent and hide it somewhere far from high traffic area. but hey, don't forget it's dayz ! you will sooner or later experience a persistance wipe, and loose you stash. So don't get to attached to your stuff 😉

    Barrel GUI glitch anyone know a fix?

    same here, especially if you have several barrels close together or/and to trees, and/or other storage (tent, car) 2 differents behavior : - I only see the left part of the inventory (like described by Birds and Eno). This seems to be less likely to occur if you have 2 barrels opened at the same time (but still happend some time with 2 or 3 barrels opened). - I don't see the inventory at all (like if I hide it), just see the others sub-sections for dieing/washing etc. Usually I clic twice on the "crate icon" and it will appear. I also have plenty of display bugs in inventory when there are several watchtowers close together. When pressing Tab, I can't see the slots where you can put nails/planks. I can't really see any scroll bar, but if I click the scroll bar anyway and go down, eventually very very far on the bottom I'll see the materials slots. But most of the time I can't even interact with the slots from this menu (I put the materials in my hands, and face the side I want to build in order to have the "Attach" action on screen). Finally, similar display/scrollbar bug but in player inventory: the scrollbar was moved from right to left side of the inventory. The hit zone position of the inventory scroll bar is not exactly the same than the scroll bar itself. I mean if I clic exactly on the center of the scroll bar, it's not working. If I clic slightly more on the right (so not exactly on the scroll bar anymore, but on the void space between the scroll bar and the inventory, it works fine). The hit zone of the scroll bar on the left side (any storage like car, barrel etc) is much larger, and much more confortable to use. All these bugs were introduced in 1.01
