Long live the Village. Cheers!

1.0 Character, Private hive

A little festive post. Happy holidays! Merry Christmas DayZ!

How, then you might have some issues. Try deleting your dayz_config files and check if it's still happening, because I had no issue doing normal attacks with simple left click and heavy attacks while holding shift, either on experimental yesterday or stable today. Played for 3-4 hours, killed many infected, no problems with melee for me.

Hi fellas! Congrats DEVs on the 1.0 launch! Enjoying every bit of it!! Wanted to wish a merry Christmas to everyone!! Safe travels survivors! See you in Chernarus!!

It's already fixed on experimental and it works great. This post is invalid.

For the past 5 years we could move while in the inventory, but it was recently change with the new animation system. I liked having access to it while moving, but it was too "arcade" style, while DayZ was aiming for a more authentic experience, so I understand the switch, and I've learned to really appreciate it.

I downloaded CrazyMike's mod and found a server with it. Enjoying some winter wonderland. Now they just need to update stable with the latest experimental branch and it'll be perfect!!

Back on topic, again. After some search I found some snowfall on a private server, so it's not only restricted to public hive.

If anyone find a server with the correct dates set, let me know. I've been searching for a while, but didn't find any so far. Cheers!

I will start my search! Do we know if it's only on public hive? Or on the community servers too? Cause right now I'm on the experimental branch and there's no snow even if we have Christmas trees and presents.

Check file integrity just to be sure, as suggested in the patch notes.

??? Please clarify?

Very nice to see the trees and gifts in-time for Christmas, but would it be possible to add the already in-game xmas lights to the trees?? I've been asking for this for the past 4 years... :P Happy holidays to all!! Cheers!!

I agree. Just a few versions ago it was still unplayable on the experimental branch at night, but now it's a totally different story, and it feels great. It's a bit weird though, it almost feels like the old ArmA 2 DayZ mod when I play at night using the weapon flashlight. Feels great.

Normal un-modded private server. They are rare, but they are there. I also found some on public servers, but they didn't give me an early christmas like that one.

So far I played for 4-5 hours without any crashes, lag or fps drops. Performance was very good, and the tweaked lighting helped a lot at night. After a few hours on public official servers I decided to jump in the community servers. First crash site I encounter gave me a nice little treat. Can't wait for the night on this server to try it out!!

KNOWN ISSUES Server crashes can cause a persistence wipe. So especially for server owners, try to work with regular persistence backups and if you encounter server crashes, report with your crash dumps to our Feedback Tracker. If you have any proven reproduction steps for persistence wipes, let us know. The team is working on a long-term solution, which unfortunately will take some time.

Let's just face it fellas, the industry's standard doesn't apply to DayZ. Back on topic. I do find that the nights are too dark when the moon is up, it should be brighter. At least so we can navigate in the forest. If there's lots of clouds or no moon, then granted it should be almost pitch black. It's been stated that we should be able to navigate at night using the stars, but right now the stars are not bright enough at night, and we don't see them much. Since there's no light pollution from the city lights, there should be a brightly lit sky with lots of stars showing up, much more than right now.

You need a green can of spray paint, but it was removed in 0.63. You need to wait till it gets brought back in-game. Some modded servers on PC re-added it, but nothing official for now.

Made it past 3000 hours. Cheers everyone. Safe travels.

Why? Why does the "release" is so important to you? Why do you want more players to come NOW? I played DayZ since the very beginning, and had my share of fun. If there's more players getting interested in the game and getting it, good for them, but right now as of December 10th 2018, it's not gonna change one single thing for DayZ. The way the process went, people have already set their minds that DayZ is nothing but trash. If some of them change their mind, like so many No Man Sky players who totally trashed the game when it was release, and are now praising it and playing the game. I've been here for too long to think that 1.0 is gonna change anything. I enjoy DayZ. That's it. Now back on topic fellas. Not the release, but EXPERIMENTAL 0.63.149840 discussion.

Few observations so far. Didn't have any issues with the new server browser. I didn't see any stutter or slow downs. Took about 10 secs to show 2431 servers in the community tab. The new inventory space for items is pretty "squared up" but seem to carry more than before for some clothing. Making casual civilian clothing more viable on the long term, which is good. The cargo pants and AKM mag have textures problems though. If the mag isn't attached to the weapon it's ok, but the textures are all messed up when attached.

Another one...

Cheers. Happy holidays. Cry babies... cry babies everywhere.... Fellas, if you are so fed up about DayZ and it's development, leave. A lot of you are saying that you "love" the game, but it sounds like the other side of the medal, you really seem to "hate" it. Bye! Have a wonderful time!
