This game has made more than enough to hire an army of programmers, but still they decide content is more valuable than stability. personally, if they were to patch even ONE bug, and release it EVERY wednesday, i'm sure the majority of people would be happy. instead we have to wait months on end just to have content (that isn't really even needed ATM) added to the still broken game. I mean, ooooooohhhh physics system! that's niice! [sarcasm] too bad we don't have any means of storing items over long term periods... if only there were a...hmm... deployable item maybe? that you could stash somewhere? hmm... i don't think anything exists like that in anything ever related to dayz. Seriously though, with all of the copy-pasted content from arma 2/3, you think a simple tent would be fairly easy. I mean seriously, dayz, i love you, but you're dying. /endrant

You may want to look at your firewall, both router and windows. try temporarily shutting off the Windows firewall, and combine that with adding the ports to the forwarding list on your router, see if that helps anything. There's plenty of guides you can find to show you how to do it. :thumbsup:

If private hives were implemented, they would have no server to "Hop" to, since the only gear they would have, is gear they acquired on that specific server. That's what a private hive is, essentially a separate database. So, separate database, separate character. Like switching between Hardcore and Regular servers, but server specific, instead of difficulty.

Dayz requires far more network communication than wasteland for example. If wasteland had shitloads of ai wandering the map, and well, doing everything that the zombies do, plus all of the loot, it would be different. The server architecture for dayz is different than any of the other arma mods, especially SA, almost everything in game is handled server-side, which requires the client to communicate, more and rapidly with the server. it's not a problem with netcode optimization, it's a problem with the internet speed.

i would start with disabling any launch parameters you have on the properties, closing and re-launching steam, and if that doesn't work, verify integrity of game files. if THAT doesn't work, delete and re-download it. :( :thumbsup:

are you using Push-to-talk? you may want to go Voice activated. My buddy used to have this issue as well. hmm... and if you have it, disable the ACRE mod for teamspeak as well.

close steam all the way, and launch/login again. i had this error last night, there was a steam update i've been cancelling. After i downloaded it, it ran fine. :thumbsup:

That's about how night time works on DayZ. For the best gamma trick results, clouds should be on any setting other than disabled, shadows, off and HDR on low, gamma and brightness all the way up, and it's about as good as you'll get. if the moon is out on the game, it will be like a black and white movie. if not, a very dark black and white movie.

Is your config file read-only? that would make sense, btw what kind of code are you talking about?

I started having this problem when i overclocked my GPU memory clock, if you've OC'd yours, try incrementally turning it down until the problem goes away. :) :thumbsup:

The experimental branch is a separate database, so no, your character will not save when it goes live, you'll have the character that you have had on stable.

It's possible you just got shot, even though no shot was heard as the audio in game is not very well done, at all. It's happened to quite a few people, myself included.

Well, you've reached the end game for now there aren't a whole lot of options. You can suicide/get murdered, or you can be one of the 98% and go kill any fresh spawn you see. You could help some newbies, show them where to get gear, maybe even do a little protection service. Since Global Chat is not in the game, hunting down bandits is not very easy. But, Pro Tip, don't get attached to your gear. Have less, lose less, is what i live by on DayZ. :thumbsup:

If you use -winxp as a launch parameter, take it off. it should work then.

That's where the Bug Reports comes into play. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/83-bug-reports/ DeSync my good sir. I've seen some horrible things when it comes to desync. :thumbsup:
