Yes i tried other servers, same result everywhere. I've played on servers that have indeed higher ping the lag is even worse there, for me it seems like all player movement is calculated on the server (while it should only be the client synching stats with the server), so this makes the network gigantic and the load on the server EXTREME. I will try the fixes you suggested and let you know if that helps in any way. What i also noticed: i keep hearing sounds (like zombie) very short (or ammo splitting) all over the server quite often. I tried this with friends and even tho they were on the other half of the map they heard the same noises. So the global sound bug still seems to be present. Another thing: Zombies animation is completely unaccurate. When you fight one and go a few steps back and the animation clearly misses you you still get hit. So running in circles is a must when fighting zombies melee. This is easy to dodge and i am not complaining about the difficulty, but its just annoying if the animation doesnt fit. Also when you kill a zombie it keeps moving for some reason Last thing: When killing another player, the loot seems waaay off the body. I would say 2-3 feet in worst case situation, so its kinda hard to loot bodies if the loot is not where the body is

I have a quite big problem right now with the game. I haven't played for some patches and started again a few days ago. Since then I am getting HORRIBLE lags especially when close to northern cities, but also in general. Tuning my graphic settings didn't work (i used to play on very high) tried normal + low, but still lagging a lot. Same applies for people that I have met, everyone seems to be having those lags which make it unplayable. (I have talked to random strangers who thankfully didnt kos and also friends i was playing with and they all have the same problem) I sadly can't blame my setup, as this works fine for many other games playing on high graphic settings, but here it goes Gforce GTX 760 16 GB RAM Intel Core i7 3820 What i can see is that the DayZ process is taking up 3GB memory (which is insane) when playing on "low" quality. I have also seen that somehow my mouse seems to be on the second monitor (still ingame + moving) so it seems like the fullscreen is broken Any suggestions?

Well today i experienced a problem which is sooo annoying. I died because 5 guys gang-banged me near Berenzino (so far so good), im used to die, nothing to worry. But now the annoying part: Server restarts, i get to wait 200 seconds, ok fine. Then my game crashes shortly after, 300 seconds again. Same thing repeats about 4 times today...

Well that might be only you ! I am not impatient, but when i play a game i want to play and not wait.

joined a random server.. got kicked cause server rebooted at the same time.. waiting 300 seconds now...

And again.. game keeps crashing... new patch gg and goodbye DayZ. Got hit 4 times by a zombie and almost died, i couldnt even pull my weapon (cause guess what BUG), after i waited 500 seconds. At least i survived. I thought they were testing these patches on experimental? Took ages to get out this patch which bugs even more. I got graphics bug and so on, and yet no improvement of night time or anything. Just new features. Other alphas try to satisfy their users at least and this was a waste of money.

Thats a joke.. just got kicked cause of server restart.. 200 seconds again.. .

I just experienced a 500 seconds timer. I had a massive bug where my graphic wouldn't load proper, so i had to restart.. its a joke i gotta wait 500 seocnds for that shit.

So I've recently noticed that quite a lot of servers kick people for no reason at all, so i suppose that they are up for loot, which is not legal (as far as I am informed). You can only kick for massive verbal abuse or something similar. Same applies for servers which have names in them like "do not join", "private server no joining", "character will be reset on joining" (this is obviously a trick to keep people out) and so on. Going to the forums to report server is so annoying and too much work for too many people. A simple button to report a server (and send all the details required, so no longer typos in reports *yay*) with a short field (100 characters) where you can describe what the problem is, would be sufficient. With that they can keep out the abusing admins and the abuse will get less as they would be afraid of getting their server reported and therefor banned. Thanks for reading, let me know what comes to your mind.

Well of course those reports should be investigated and not blindly followed. A server gets a hidden reputation. For each report it gets this score increase and at a certain level admins are informed about their server being reported. If the reports keep coming in for some reason, some of the DayZ staff would have to check (like they do in the forums atm) if the reports are valid and if action is needed.

I join servers where the admin randomly kicks me for no reason, happens over and over. I know i should report them somewhere else, but this is so annoying. There should be a report server button which make sit easier. Its just a joke that people get kicked so the admin can gear up. Anyways, this keeps getting me a timer. My internet connection breaks regularly thats just how it is, it happens frequently, i lose connection and have to wait 500 seconds again. I have been server hopping as well and still do it sometimes. The 500 timer doesnt stop any person that rly wants to do it. You just live with it and wait the time. Server hoppers are delayed but not stopped. I think the logout timer to stop combat logging is sooo nice. I really love it. For a permanent solution i would suggest to not have server start at round times and not display players on the server when less than 10 people. Might be stupid, but when I was hopping i searched for low-population servers that recently restarted, having them restart at 8:39 rather then 08:00 will make a segnificant impact, because you cannot tell if a server is already up long. Same applies to low-populated server, you are just not able to tell anymore if the server is freshly restarted, therefor hopping for loot wouldn't work good.

Hm im still not sure what to think about the changes. On one site i really enjoyed it as it was so hard to finally get them off once you fired a gun and they are coming for you, also i got scared off zombies for the first time in this game (running at fullspeed at you) and i start worrying when hearing zombie sounds. Also another thing that i really like is that snipers / campers that hide somewhere to kill you won't have an easy life. They need to be careful after revealing their location as the zombies might make a run for them. So if you live after a few shots, they need to focus on surviving themselves and therefor camping does not become the supreme tactic. On the other side, i cannot even eat something anymore and start bleeding quite fast, when badging myself i am unable to interrupt and get hit again because they are so fast. You can just stay there shoot and hope you don't bleed out and they stop spawning before that so you can finally badge yourself. Same goes for eating and all that stuff. Also i think the "seeking" range is quite too much as of right now. People should be able when moving silently ( not running) and hiding to avoid zombies, as of right now it is just a disaster, they see you anyways. I really like the aspect that its scaring, but there should be some changes such as vision range for zombies and probably an ability to cancel your action faster (like dropping that beacon even tho it tastes delicious), so like in real life, if you're in a real hurry just drop it and run. I think drop & run would save us a lot and would give us back some possibilities fighting fast zombies while still acting carefully.

If you would actually read through the reddit post you would actually see what the problem is / was, some information cannot be shared as it might be gamebreaking (maybe the bug already exists) and so on and so on. We get a ETA around 2-5h before the patch. If they find a fix they will post it in the release notes, anything else wouldnt matter anyways

Hello Okeebc, Your character will not reset when a server is restarted. All the characters are stored in the "hive", which is why you can have the same character on ALL servers. So basically you can join other servers (bc yours is down atm) and keep playing. Above explains 2nd question as well.

Well basically there are a lot of servers that insta-kick you (and even have it mentioned in their title) when you join and you are not member, as far as I am aware, they are not allowed to do that?! I think its just a joke, and we should get rid of these servers...

Amphibia is made for hunting, i do not expect it to be a weapon for fight scenarios. Also you might have lagged / missed, also it could be a bug as you play on experimental, don't forget this is a alpha's alpha.

This might be interesting: http://dayzdev.tumbl...g-bugs-for-0-37 What I have heard from trusted sources is that it was pushed back "a few days", so no update tonight. Sorry. Spread the word.

It would be nice to get some information about what happened now (because the update was promised 3h ago) and we did not get any update on the situation, the changelog just changes to version 0.42 without any specific reason or commentary, we want to be informed. I don't mind waiting a few more days or even weeks, but I was so looking forward to this update, so at least let us know whats happening

Yes, as i said, dying is point of the game, even if its quite unpleasant when you just get grouped on. But the respawning and just endless waiting sucks.. :/

Hi folks, so i was sitting around the south airfield guarding the area (in case that someone comes in I can scare them off and we can run) for one friend who tried to loot the airport. So as I have recently picked up my SKS with a 3,5scope i thought i would try it on a zombie to see how i can shoot it over a longer distance (around 500 meters at this time) so i gave a few shots (about 5) to the zombie it did not fall, but another player which is quite fully geared (as far as i could tell, 500m is a lot) he must have thought that i tried to shoot him and ran off into the direction of Komarovo, he must have been scared. (Sorry for that friend!!!) So we keep looting the airport and i keep lying there in the grass guarding my friend, boom someone shot me, my heart rate increases rapidly, my screen turns gray, boom next one hits me unconscious. I asked my friend to run off as i was pretty sure by the time he arrives here I am fully looted and not get himself into danger. I am pretty sure the guy who shot me is the one who ran off before and I am pretty sure that he could have killed me right there but after a few minutes of being unconscious I wake up everything is gray and i go for a run. I make it to Chapaevsk where me and my friend meet again. He provide me with some food as mine is ruined and helps me get up again, screen still gray and I have no saline bag on me nor has my friend, so we think we just go around a bit and play it safe until I am back to full health. But then the zombies are after us, as I do not want to face a zombie in melee combat as I am already in a bad condition i get my FNX out and shoot the hell out of it. More zombies more pressure, i reload the FNX but my other magazine is ruined, so i make a run, put out the SKS and make the hell out of zombies, then one behind me hits me i start bleeding, i think this is when i die, i get bandaged, i eat and we camp the house until i get better. Freaking love this game, even tho it gives me heart attacks !
