Weyland Yutani (DayZ)

Did you try logging out and logging back in?

Its 10 minutes. Don't forget, bodies slide and can still be hidden. Best of luck!

Logs show nothing related to hacks. If you're worried about admin abuse, maybe its time to find another server. I for one want more detailed information. Exploits like loot farming aren't policeable and they need to be. Logs work like this. Player w/ID connected.Player w/ID disconnected.Player w/ID hit player.Player w/ID shot player.Player w/ID killed player.Player w/ID said ___.Player w/ID has fallen into unconsciousness.Player w/ID STARTS BLEEDINGSTATUS S::xxxx B::xxxx H::xxxx HP::xAdmins have very little tools to police a server.

In before locked. Always wanted to say that.

Wouldn't that make said loot contaminated?

Your tick-rates are off. Nespesney addressed this several Status Reports ago.

Agreed. Remove it altogether. Players should be forced into ADS, not some BS Counter Strike hip fire malarky.

Alpha. Optimization is during Beta. Renderer isn't in it. Swapping old engine for new engine they're developing as they develop the game. Better CPU might help, but won't remedy. Be patient, it'll get better.

Not really imo. NWAF, Myshkino, and Berezino are very well traveled places. I know you mentioned the identification of NWAF and Myshkino being commonly traveled spots, but Berezino is pretty popular. Now if you would report that you were in out of the way places like Stary Yar, Berezhki, Sinistok, Tisy, Kamenka type zones...I would say that was a bit strange indeed.

Not only is the hotfix deployed for persistence and etc, but for server renters with MPGS there is a hotfix for the auto-restart feature not working. Special thanks to Tatanko for the academic guesswork on deployment this morning. EDIT: MPGS said there would be a player and world wipe. I've got reports of our players NOT being wiped on our private shards.

So the auto-restart bug with MPGS is still happening. Manual restarts are still a reality.

Totally and I'm glad! Came home from a long day at work and surprised to see so much bickering in what I thought was going to end up as a positive thread. Jeesh. Its like majority of posts here is bitching and moaning about one thing or another. We're doing some event planning and lost like 10 tents, 4 barrels, 3 trucks, 5 swords and 8 maces. I don't really care about losing items. I'm just relieved the hotfix came in and we got this auto-restart bug fixed. Devs can't do anything right and I honestly feel bad for them. This is broke, FIX IT. You fixed it w/o telling me! Come on guys, is this what these forums have really turned into FFS? Dang...

Thanks for the input guys. Looking forward to tanning leather black!

Same.

Buddy? That has a condescending tone. Yes, you were rude as seen below. I brought up DayZRP because you said you were a respected player there and used the community as a character witness. Well, I brought that up and shed some light that the owner is a jerk so you being respected there doesn't mean anything. Saying someones mind is little, is rude. Have your little man last word, I'm done.

If you can't take legitimate concerns and scrutiny, maybe you're in the wrong business. You got rude, got called out, and apparently can't handle it. I'm not a troll here, check my posting history. I have been in the occasional dispute, but 95% of my posts are positive. Maybe thats something you should incorporate before jumping down someones throat. Also, you're acting like 2 pages is something to brag about. Take it easy son. My head IS out of the sand and I'm typing this message FROM home. Nobody is shitting on your work, there are legitimate concerns and as a developer you need to get on board with. Otherwise you're going to make everyone even more suspicious. Nobody here knows you from a hole the wall, you drop an .exe and expect everyone to eat it up and not question security? Nobody knows you're a nice kid as Klesh indicated because there is no baseline for interpretation. So yea, prepare for scrutiny. I don't know how to make and application and I don't care to. Like you're better than someone else because you do? Very mature of you. As far as DayZRP goes, stick a fork in them because they're done. They recently had as many as 5 servers, now its 2 and mostly numbers are low. The guy running the forum openly calls people "retards"...sounds like a role model to me. Nice community you got there. I question any dedicated player from DayZRP. Maybe someone has a disabled child and reads that. Very mature. SOURCE: http://www.dayzrp.com/t-New-rule-Impersonation

You're puzzled because your facts aren't straight. Hall didn't simply just vanish. Everyone got the heads up in 2/2014 (SOURCE: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-02-24-dean-hall-to-leave-bohemia-and-step-down-as-leader-of-dayz). Then he left late that year (SOURCE: http://www.polygon.com/2014/12/9/7360349/dean-hall-launches-new-studio-promises-to-continue-helping-with-dayz). Hall was active before leaving. Not sure how you get 2 years as its not even been a full year since he left. Its actually been around 9 months. He left because his work was done. Concept wise, DayZ is complete. Did Hall need to stay around until every line of code was written? He also laid out the reasoning behind his departure which was multi-faceted. He actually did start his own company, Rocketwerkz. They had issues being in NZ with labor laws which he spent a bunch of money on trying to resolve. He lost the case and moved his studio to London I believe?

Totally agree. I would say you did a little bit more than "just countered" a question as indicated by the quote below. Why would you highly doubt someone going through a lot of work then putting in a backdoor for personal gain? Thats how the internet works so get your head of out the sand. A bit rude, dude.

DayZ SA is my first Alpha experience and wow, what a ride. I love it! New updates (stable as well as exp) are like Christmas to me. I understand the concept of pre-alpha, alpha, beta, release. Not all that complicated, very cut and dry imho. I run a community with a few thousand people in it. I, as well as my staff team of administrators (they all have a high level of education) and moderators deal with certain issues on a daily basis. Needless to say, we see a lot of issues. Some issues are new, most of them aren't new. A recurring issue I can't seem to grasp is: alpha development related complaints. They all know its alpha, but at the same time its like they don't. There is a perpetual state of forced ignorance. I know a certain pre-alpha tester here that just so happens to have a degree in Sociology. I posed this question to him. His answer was: they payed money for SA and have inherent expectations. Is this really the case? Despite warnings and detailed info plastered all over the place, all of which gets ignored? Surely there has to be more to it than that? Is the current generation consumer really that simple, surely not? I want to learn and understand this phenomenon. Looking forward to a healthy deduction here.

Everyone in our community as well as myself has been dying for persistence. Well, we got persistence and the lag that comes with it is breaking the servers. Players can't interact with inventory, doors, storage, items, etc. I'm at a loss as to why persistence would be released with these caveats. The devs knew this which is why they're allowing us GSP renters to wipe the world. What makes it worse is loot farmers are speeding up the process of getting the server load into the red. With the amount of time they've spent trying to get persistence working, I'm starting to question if its ever going to work. :(

Thanks for the details R.Neville.

All three. US-3 just got world wiped so we're testing the areas in question for data. We've had players on pub servers getting the same issues. I played on US-2 a few days ago and it was fine, at that time camps weren't built yet. People have had the time to get camps going and we're now experiencing issues. US-1 population has dropped massively and guessing why isn't difficult. I'm sure they're working on it. But, I'm pretty sure they knew about this use because they've given renters the power to wipe the server for performance related issues. Up until then it was by request only, now the power is in the renters hands and imo its for a reason.

Either your on low pop servers or the admins are wiping the world on a consistent basis. Stand in front of a door for several minutes, no door icon. Get a door icon, open it as much as you like (I've done it 50x) and it doesn't open. Move an item out of your inventory takes 30-60 seconds. Can't drink from a well. Gets bad enough: lost session. Login/logout over and over and you might get to interact. Playing exp doesn't mean much because the population is low and people aren't stock-piling goods server wide. Also, they wiped the world several x during exp with the 14 different updates. Its not a big base bug, its persistence. I've personally tested one barrel with a few items in it. We've got the item interaction issues on all 3 of our servers and we have players testing this on public servers with the same exact issue. There are also posts in the forum about it. Its not an isolated incident.

Our community is having the same exact problem. Thanks for posting. I read that but this is happening with 2 barrels.

If the devs are doing an update per month and the updates are 0.54, 0.55, 0.56, etc...does that mean by 0.63 that SA will be in beta? Just curious. :)
