  1. Dear Survivors, yesterday's 1.07 Update regrettably introduced several new issues to the game. To be as transparent as possible with you, we would like to go into some detail on those problems and what we intend to do about them. The game crash (blue screen on PS4), that most of you are currently experiencing, is a consequence of the recent work that was put into the inventory. However, as our inventory is quite complicated with countless options of switching and swapping on both the PC and console inventory, this error occurred on the consoles, as a result from the fixes. Our programmers are currently going through all interactions that are moving items to adjust them. We have also seen a server crash appear which is most likely tied to the physics-based dropping of large items. This issue also seems to appear more often on console servers. So we will most likely revert the change temporarily, until a more solid solution is found. An issue not as game-breaking, but certainly frustrating, is the voice-chat being triggered during inventory navigation. While we are currently prioritizing the crashes, we will fix it as soon as possible. Last, but not least, we have received your reports of FPS-drops during the gameplay. But as we haven't been able to find their cause yet, we would ask you to provide us with some data on where you are experiencing the lag. Critical information is here: The location your character is at The server you are playing on If there is anything unusual about this location, be it a player-made base, large amounts of loot, or just many structures We will continue to focus on these priority issues, and hope to have fixes tested and ready for release by the beginning of next week. We apologise for the inconveniences and hope to have the problems resolved swiftly. - Tim

    BLACK SCREEN

    @Vitaliy Prulis/ @Billy Kruger could you give us some basic information on the hardware you are using? If you've already tried to: Verify your game files via Steam Re-install the game You can also try to delete the DayZ folder in your documents manually go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps and delete appmanifest_221100.acf - afterwards verify your game files more advanced: go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata and make a backup of that folder (in case something goes wrong, you never know). Afterwards, you can dive in and delete data with the number 221100 in the name. Afterwards verify your game files and try again If this still does not work, we recommend you to contact our feedback tracker at feedback.dayz.com with a private ticket. Please include your crash report and your DxDiag report.

    DAYZ WON'T LAUNCH

    Hi, lets try to cover the basics first. Did you already verify your game files via Steam? Do you have any launch parameters active in the launcher? If yes, try to remove them first, and try again. Did you play on any modded servers before? --- If this does not help you can try to: Navigate in to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\*SteamID*\ Then there should be multiple folders, the ones relevant to DayZ are 221100 for stable 1024020 for experimental delete both of them Let me know how it goes 🙂

    What's the point?

    To add some explanation to @TheCreeper (DayZ)'s comment, this is what DayZ is about. Players are supposed to discover things by themselves, and have free choosing on what to do. The world out there is tough, and if someone manages to stay alive and gear themselves up, they gain power to engage other players, making it harder for them. Now there are multiple ways to approach this situation: Respawn and try to make it better. That can be achieved in multiple ways. Maybe you were too open positioned, because even if you have found some nice friends, you need to stay aware of your surroundings. As you learned, not everyone is that nice. Chose who you trust and how you engage other players. Some kill everyone instantly because they fear they get killed instead. Some have a more tactical approach. Some just like to kill, die and respawn. If you discover that this constant thread of looming insta death is not for you, there are several community servers out there, that have rules that enforce friendly, or at least roleplay behaviour, meaning players have to introduce themselves first or create a conflict before actually shooting you. What we mean to say is that what you experienced is DayZ in its purest. Not everyone is friendly. But there are some friendly people out there which make it worth it. It's up to you to find your own stile to live (and eventually die, that's the reality) in this world.

    If you have been wrongfully banned, please contact the BattlEye support. Trying to come up with methods to circumvent the ban is not going to help you, and might result in further penalization.

    State of the 1.07 Console Issues

    Today we deployed the first round of fixes for the Xbox version of the DayZ 1.07 update. Today's hotfix included a fix for the most common server crash, which appeared due to an error in the physics-based item dropping. We have reverted this change and put it back in the garage to fix it up, before we re-deploy it in the future. Then there is a couple of issues involving the console inventory and its synchronisation. This results most visibly in game crashes, as well as desynchronisation between the players and the server (example: seeing a player with a different item in hands than they actually have). With today's fix, we are tackling the most frequent game client crashes, related to item swapping. However, this still leaves us with several instances of desync, which might be more prominent now, that your game will crash less. We are working on further solutions for this and will keep you posted on our progress. Sadly those fixes also introduced a new server crash that now appears frequently. We aim to resolve this swiftly. We have addressed an issue with the voice chat being activated in the inventory. Regarding the FPS drops, we are investigating both the lighting changes, as well as certain inventory behaviour as possible reasons for this change. Further feedback on this is very welcome (be sure to include the console you are playing on, as well as the circumstances listed in our last update on this issue). So, while this hotfix addresses certain issues, we still have more problems to be corrected. For that, we apologise. - Tim

    Graceful shutdown of server

    The steps described above should still work, both the taskkill without /f and the manual shutdown by just closing the server process with X.
  13. Not sure if that is your problem, but sliding down ladders without gloves or running around without shoes and with ruined shoes can cause your hands/feet to bleed. Also your health might go down if your body temperature drops too low. If that's not your issue, please try to describe your circumstances a bit more precise (are you losing blood or health, does bandaging help immediately, how are your character values, etc).

    Global ban

    As written in our guidelines, DayZ Staff can not and do not have access to BattlEye global or VAC bans, and can not revoke them in any way possible. You MUST contact the BattlEye or STEAM support about any bans issued on you. Closing the topic.

    Persistence off

    "Persistence OFF" means in this case that we may shut this server down at any point in time, so do not be surprised if it disappears from one day to another.
  16. As written in our guidelines, DayZ Staff can not and do not have access to BattlEye global or VAC bans, and can not revoke them in any way possible. You MUST contact the BattlEye or STEAM support about any bans issued on you. Regular procedure in the case of a hacked account is that when you get the account back from Steam, you can contact BattlEye with that proof and they will unban you as well. While we understand your frustration about the situation, reposting is not the way to go. Locking the topic.

    Revenue idea for ImpulZ

    We will enable further options for server customisation with due time. We do not intend to hide them behind a paywall.
  19. We are aware of the crashes happening on PlayStation 4 since the release of the update 1.05, and currently working on resolving them. We haven't found the roots of these GPU related crashes yet. It appears, they have multiple causes and there are no reliable reproduction steps, at this point. We will keep you updated on this thread. 30/10/2019 UPDATE: We released an update that aims to mitigate the crashes affecting some PlayStation 4 players. Tweaked Memory distribution on PS4 Changed Updated the texture streaming system to be more resilient against texture allocation failures Applied compression to several textures Please, let us know if you keep experiencing crashes on the PlayStation 4, while providing as many details as possible.
  20. Hello survivors, We have now concluded the process of switching all our official DayZ servers to new machines. While the number stays intact, their location might change. See below for the affected servers. Your characters, in-game stashes and bases should not be affected: Xbox One: PlayStation 4:

    My character is gone....

    This is probably related to this issue: Could you give us some more details on what exactly was lost (stashes, character or base for example), and in what time frame it must've happened?
