Maybe fix is the wrong word to use. You are right, alot of the solutions such as the Anti-virus and Dropping buggy items are work arounds. Changes made to BE are defo in the right direction of a fix but i don't think we will see a fix until both Dayz and Battleye release patches that target this issue and its causes It would be a safe assumption that if someone says the issue is fixed for them and they don't return to update us then the issue is really fixed for them. Many people only come here when an issue arises but once fixed for their situation they don't come back and probably just play the game until they need help/info again. Your particular issue seems different from the rest. The ping should be spiking, Bandwidth should be falling to very low numbers and your desync rise to 100k.Your ping being low and the same throughout and the high bandwidths suggests you don't have any network issue or anti-virus related issue but something else very much game specfic.

Could i remind everyone that you spawn in with 100k desync which clears shortly afterwards and also throughout your time on the server yourself and other people will experience what i call "natural" desync which: Should last no more than a couple of minutes,Should not happen frequenetly (like every 10min or constant) andYour ping should not spike up from what is normal for you. E.g you get around 20-40 ping on server but you desync for about 15-60 seconds at random but very infrequent and your ping stays at 20-40 during this time.The issue being discussed in this topic is someone who gets a constant 1-100K desync with a spiked ping (Generally 200+) and is unable to see other players movements or intereact with the world. There is plenty of feedback of Anti-Virus removal being a fix so should never be ruled out until tried. People are being affected by different causes no matter how similar your systems are and in many cases it appears that pople have a combination of causes that all need to be resolved before the issue subsides. I still believe we have not found some other causes which are affecting a smaller number of people. Battleye fixes implemented yesterday seem to have fixed the issue for many but by no way means its fixed for all for the combination of issues as ive already mentioned.

Today my freind has not had an issue all day on various servers (30-40/40 players) and by different hosts. If this keeps up along with the positive feedback being recieved here we are close to calling this issue fixed :o. All though i think theres still some work to be done dayz dev side regarding the use of ammo boxes etc.

You have a seperate rubber banding issue not related to the discussion here. However, i can tell you that the developers are aware of your issue and will be fixed in a future patch.

Please read here regarding desync: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164323-update-141-player-proximity-desync-issue-possible-solutions/ The hotbar has its seperate response issues too but what your describing as a whole sounds like the desync issue.

This issue has been acknowleaged by the devs and a fix will be coming in a future patch.

Please see here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164323-update-141-player-proximity-desync-issue-possible-solutions/ Also, the fact your taking so long to join a server could mean you have ISP/local network problems.

My friends issue has been fixed by sticking to UK Multiplay servers which we started doing yesterday. Joined a non uk multiplay server today with a high ping so we could play with a freind from new zeland who also had a high ping and the game ran prefect for 3 hours the server maxed out with players during this time also. Will try a non multiplay server where we have had issues before and let you know.

I suggest you seach or even just look at the many topics in this section with the word "desync" in it. You will find what's going on and that theres a few plausable fixes but nothing concrete. Devs are aparently aware of the issue and investigating.

There are multiple causes for this issue. One is AVG and uninstalling AVG completely could fix, but there is also some sort of ammo box/p case bug that can cause desync problems. Also, try find out what country servers are on and stick to severs hosted in your country.

Did you try to join a server and it got stuck on please wait or wait for host and would not move on to loading your character? Quite often if you quit the game or cancel the loading while these black screens are there your character will reset. Can also happen randomly or the devs dilebratly clearing characters for balance and security purposes. Its in "Alpha" after all and this a bug that will be fixed eventually.

How long have you played since? We are finding all the fixes are only fixing it for a few hours.

Wow, Such a great response so far. The poll has definetly proven it was nothing to do with your hardware, location on map or if you were in a building or not. There is a new topic with a new poll and updated causes/fixes at http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164323-update-player-proximity-desync-issue-need-your-help-again/ Here is the lastest possible causes: Battleye and Anti-Virus (AVG is one thats standing out) not playing nice with each otherSome sort of bug with either Ammo Boxes, Protector cases, and First Aid Kits or all of them and the affected players either have these on them or in fact its the players they are close to that are causing the issue for them by having them.General ISP and your own network issues.More on all of this can be found at the new topic and being developed further in the posts being made in it.

Update: Ah dam. To update, i myself removed my ammo box from my backpack took the ammo and joined my friend on a server but this seemed to only fix the issue for a few hours (about 3hrs) then my friend was again badly desynced for a long period. He then uninstalled his AVG completely and lauched the game and this fixed the issue for another few hours but it returned like a pestering wasp wanting food. There seems to be many different causes at play here. I think the current list of the issues is as follows: Battleye and Anti-Virus (AVG is one thats standing out) not playing nice with each otherSome sort of bug with either Ammo Boxes, Protector cases, and First Aid Kits or all of them and the affected players either have these on them or in fact its the players they are close to that are causing the issue for them by having them.General ISP and your own network issues.If any of these are present they seem to cause affected players a high ping (200-999) which in turn leads to desync rising to 100,000 rendering them only able to move and unable to interact with the world. The only true fix for my friend and I and partly suggested in the poll is playing on non Battleye Servers connected to the same public hive and running the same current build. In these servers we have played for over 10 hours without any desync issues (jumping into a battleye server at the time would have caused instant desync), with ammo boxes etc and with 40/40 players. Infact these have provided the best standalone experience since battleye was introduced tbh with some of the best pings ive ever seen for my friends and i in varying locations. It was unfortunate that we have been put off playing on them thanks to being shot through walls in one instance (definate hacker) which is the downside of playing on such servers. This is the sole reason i believe Battleye and/or assosiated files which are removed in non battleye servers is the cause for some people experiencing major desync issues BUT i would like to stress, i don't believe its the same scenario for all players having the desync issue and that the issue might not be the coding of battleye itself but how other programs such as anti-viruses are veiwing/interacting with it. Whats starting to annoy me more than the issue itself is the complete silence from the Dev Team. It dosen't matter if they have a fix or not but atleast telling us they are aware that an issue exsists and are investigating would be great to know.
