But for 30$ you do not only buy an alpha. You buy the future finnish product:) For 6$ you get a old game with expansions and a mod thats very glitchy and not user friendly. So i recomend to pay for the standalone.. Even its still in alpha, and will be for a long time..But eventually the standalone will be amazing..:)

Hi, So i have been playing for a few hours now, and since i was fully geared i had nothing much to do. So i decided to go down to the coast to see if i could interact with some people there. I had a spare gun in my backpack so i came up with the idea to make an experiment. And that was that i should give this gun, fully loaded to the first new spawn i saw and see what happens. So i found this guy in the outskirts of Electro looting buildings (that was clearly looted 10 times before in the last hour). He was a new spawn by the looks of it since he was running around in he's starter gear. After going up to him he told me that he was running for 10 minutes to get there, so he begged me not to shoot him. He was dehydrated and hungry, and he was a little upset that he haven't found any good loot yet. This was a perfect time to try out my experiment to life. I told him i had some extra gear and that he could get food, water, a loaded gun and a extra mag. All he had to do was to promise not to kill me after he got the stuff. He seemed very happy and he promised to not kill me. Since this man only had four slots to carry stuff i gave him my assault west with a loaded gun, 40 extra rounds, a open can of beans and a full canteen. What do you think happen less then a minute later? You guessed right. He pulled out the gun and fired 5 rounds. But here is the part that you didn't guess. He shot and killed a guy running towards me from behind with he's axe held high. The guy i just gave a gun, used it and saved my life. We went trough the city together, talking about football, and we also found some good loot on the way. The story ended tragically when he fell off a ladder at the fire station and died. At the very least i got my gear back..lol So this was a very successful experiment, and i felt like sharing the story for you guys. Hopefully this can give someone inspiration to try the same thing or something else beside killing strangers. Remember, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet..;-) So, do you dare to give a random a loaded gun?

I think the log out timer should be 3 minutes. And if the are a very good way to make this combat flag that someone was talking about, i would like it to be 10-15 minutes. Why? Well, 3 minutes are forever if someone know you position. That means if someone is interacting with you, and if you take the pussy way out, then they have plenty of time to take all your stuff and then kill you. Thats perfect and this will prevent combat logging. all together. And this will make sure of its possible to hold up players and rob them. KoS will be less of a problem because holding up players is the only way to make sure that you get prestine stuff from the other player. If you shoot him, the stuff might be ruined. Also this will make life much more painful for server hoppers. Imagine they sadness in their eyes when they have to wait 3 minutes between every server change. You say its a problem when you just want to quit because your character is exposed for 3 minutes? Well, this is not a problem. 1. There will be possible to make camps in this game, and i'm sure you will be safe if you log out in you camp. 2. Plan your exit. I know thats not possible everytime, but in 99% of the time it really is. So if you know you have to quit playing soon, run to a location where you do not think anyone will find you for the next 3 minutes. Wait a few seconds and make sure you are not followed and log out. Very simple, and very fair for everyone. There must be a system like this, and i'm sure its coming soon. In the meanwhile, KoS will be the way most people choose to interact. But this will change a lot with the log out timer:) I think...:-)

Ok, i do not know if anyone will read this post, but i found out what is triggering the teleport back to previous position bug. At leas in my case. It only happens when i sprint. If i'm walking or jogging i will be fine, and i have no issue what so ever. But if i sprint, i will teleport back to the position where i was starting to sprint. The teleport take place after about 3-4 minutes of sprinting. Taking pauses during the sprint will not help at all, its just delay the teleport. So hopefully some of who have been facing the same problem can find a solution by reading this post. Good luck to you all.

If you where in my spot it would bug the crap out of you. I can promise you that:) I'm been stuck in a small village up north all day. I have tried to run out of the village in all directions but after 5 min i teleport back to the village and i have to Alt-F4 and start over. Its a nice village, but i would really like to move on soon..hehe Gonna try again, but this time i will walk. Hopefully that will help.

So, your camping an building that is likely to be used for server hopping so you can KoS whoever pops in? Well, have fun mate. Sound extremely boring too me, but if that's how you want to spend your gameing time, thats fine for me. To server hoppers out there: Spawn outside of the building and be careful walking in. You never know who's camping behind the door. The real solution to server hopping: Log out timer. This will dramatically increase time consumption during server hopping, and it will be far less frequent. This will also totaly remove combat logging, and that means it will be possible to hold up other players again and rob them for their gear. And i also think that will further reduce server hopping. Personally i hope for a 3-5 min log out timer..

My had problems at first i tried to play today, but after i removed two medkits from my backpack the issue was completely gone. Maybe there is something with the theory that the kits are buged..:) Either way, I'm glad i can play again. I hope it also will be better for the rest of you having problems:)

As long as the next patch fixes the desync issue, i will be very happy:) Can't wait til i can play this game again. Right now i can't interact with anything in the game, and that's not cool, bro! And a log out timer would also be nice. Difficult to interact with people when they just "teleport to another dimension" when you say hello.. And its total impossible to hold up other players and rob them. If they don't log out after "hello", they will sure as hell do it after "lay down your backpack".

This is also a problem for me. I have tried for one hour now to find a server that i can play on. I have no lag, and i can run around just fine. But i can not use my item like for example bandage. When i click it, it just saying "receiving" and i can not use it. I also have problems to interact with doors and loot. So right now, the game is unplayable for me. This server issues should be fixed asap. I know like everyone else its a alpha, but if you cant interact with the content thats already in the alpha its totally useless. Even for an alpha. Zombies through walls, low content, randomly deaths, loosing gear and stuff like this is ok in a alpha. But server issues that makes the entire alpha unplayable is not ok.

He is not complaining. He is just describing a problem he have been facing. Thats two different things. And there must be allowed to discuss errors and bugs in the game to, even its just an alpha build. So get yourself together..

Thanks man. First time i see this models, so its fun to see what will be in the game later on. Hope it come soon, because its not to much stuff in the game atm. More stuff FTW.

I have played for 29 hours, but i have not killed a single person yet. Not that i didn't wanted to, but the people i have come across have been pointless to kill. And i don't do pointless kills. The only time i really wanted to kill someone was when i run into a guy at the military tent camp near Cherno. He had a lot of gear i was looking for. But for some reason i had a empty mag in my pistol. And when he told me it was nice to not be shot for once, i didn't have the heart to kill him anymore. So we looted the camp together and went our separated way after..

I also had insane problems with this yesterday and earlier today. My character was going i large circles, and he even went through buildings on hes way. He could also teleport a small distance sometimes. I had some problems about every second minute, so for me the game has not been playable for the last two days. But i did try the game for about 20 minutes after the newest patch, witch steam automaticly downloaded for aboud 1,5 hours ago, and i'm happy to say i did not have any problems what so ever. To early for me to say that the problem is gone for me, but its looking very promising. I'm looking forward to test it out for real tomorrow. Now its work for me. Good luck to all of you, and i hope your problems will be gone too.

Anyone else having insane lag after the newest build that come yesterday? Right now i can run for a minute, and then its lag for the next 3-5 sec. My character starts to move in circles and i go through buildings and everything before he finally stops. I have trouble to use items an pick up items and sometimes zombies just pop out of nowhere.. The game is pretty much unplayable right now for me. I notice that when i browse for servers i get a huge list of servers with ping between 25-80. Wich is normal. But after clicking on a server the ping suddenly jumps to 250-350, and even up to 500. And then it can jump down again to below 100, before jumping up again. I guess this is the problem and this is the reason for the lag. But do anyone have an idea why its like this, and why it started with the newest update? I have been playing Standalone since late December without any problems, and my internet connection is good. I can also play other games with good ping. So its not my internet connection and its not my PC. So, do anyone else have big lag and ping problems on Dayz SA after the newest build??? And is there any solutions?
