I died after I got all looted up (or at least I thought so at the time...) I was running up and down the coast, no knowing where what was. Thought that everything had been looted, since the two cities I went through had all doors open and all the scraps were already in my mountain backpack. This guy runs up to me and we have a nice conversation. We run down the tracks when a zombie runs up to us. I get out my axe, and start (trying) to hit it. He takes out his shotgun and fires once, breaking my leg. I hear him say sorry when he fires again. "You are dead". :D

So, I was running around in Severograd with my friends, just having fun. I decided to loot around a bit, and near the west side of the town, there is a two story building, I think it's blue. It's the building with the blue doors, two stairs. The top floor has these iron shelves, there was nothing on them. When you go up the stairs, you have two doors, only one opens. The one that opens had sofa and closet in it, this room brings death to your character. It's much like the Camo/prison buildings. You stand somewhere and you break your leg. There was a raincoat there, I looked at it, suddenly "You are dead". All I saw was one message "My leg is painful". I called it out to my mates, they went to my body but couldn't loot it. Nobody around... Sad panda. :(

What's a lot? It was a 30 person server, I think like 20 in use? The game is great, I love it to death. Dying is part of the game, I have come to accept that, KOS, firefights and losing. But these kinds of deaths (especially when out with friends, and then forced into another solo adventure) really bum me out. Ah well. Geared up already, ready to go again tonight. :)

Well, I'm nowhere near there now, but my friend was running around there just fine. Think it's random, like breaking your legs on the first floor of the camo building? 9 out of 10 times you can go there without issues, but sometimes your legs break for no reason. Been in those buildings a hundred times, and have broken my legs on four seperate occasions. Also died once in the same way I did yesterday in that two story building.

Improvised leather backpack all the way! :)

Ugh. Logged in with my geared character yesterday. My friend was coming too. I was there first, appears I logged out in a spot surrounded by trees. I noticed it was night, time of the server was 2.00am, nice, change of the normal daytime servers. I went prone, to wait for my friend, I couldn't make out anything anyway... All of a sudden, without the sound of gunfire, my character squirms and moans, I see "My arm is in pain, my arm is in extreme pain" a few times in the bottom left corner of the screen, and it turns black. "You are dead". I respawn and I try to look where I am. All of a sudden I see a player teleporting and he shoots me in the leg. He then just leaves me there, I can't go anywhere, leg broken... FFS. My friend logs in and I was yelling on TS for him to get out, but he died as well, he actually saw my body, already stripped down to it's undies, and then noticed a player appear in front of him. I can see why cleaning the game and deleting all characters and loot from the game in the upcoming 0.49 patch would be helpful to remove duped and hacked items, but hacks like this, the teleporting and the ability to just see through objects and walls and apparently even seeing in the dark, they need to be addressed with higher priority.

Too bad that most of the time, you only identify a player as a hacker when one or more players from the group have already fallen victim to the hack. :(

This. When you get hit in the legs, your pants go. When it's your chest, vests and shirts etc go. That's the way it would work in real life, so why not in game. Spread out your gear and you 'll be more likely to have stuff after fights.

I've seen people on the roofs in berezino. The ones you're not supposed to be on. Also have seen people teleport around, and seemingly not dying. (I believe this has something to do with carrying a tent, but idk every detail) I really hope lots of these issues will be addressed quickly. Right now, it's even possible to be shot without hearing sound, but it's a legit bug, the other person has to reload in order to hear the shot... I'm just at the point where dying is like, oh well, back to looting... It makes great game moments a bit more sparse though...

Specially on the persistent servers, wait until the time is 14:01. If it stays on 14:00 the server is bugged. Other than that, character wipes happen when the server is rebooted outside it's restart cycle. So either there was an event on the server which caused it to go down (character gets wiped when this happens) or it was a manual reset. (In which case your character gets wiped a lot as well) Tough luck dude, :(

I have not experienced this, maybe it's your aiming deadzone setting? I don't know what to say, other than I never have any issues with it. Is there some video explaining what it is?

I use dxtory with some legartith something lossless codec. Recorded almost an hour yesterday on 720P, filesize: 92GB. Also drops less frames than fraps does. It's great software, but somewhat a performance hog. Files it generates are HUGE.

They might be rare, but on non persistent servers they are there after a restart in the usual places. (Under those blue carts, in police stations, piano houses, even barracks now...) Long range scopes are found in garages, buildings with the bar in it, the yellow houses with the storage shelves. Can also spawn in ATC, hangars, pretty much everywhere...

Stairs are deathtraps in this game. The ladders on the outside of ATC is also bugged, not to mention the staircase in the camo prison buildings, hell even the place you usually glitched through the wall seems to have a bear trap, just standing there will break your leg. Top of the fire station, barns, and the list goes on. If you stand on a staircase that doesn't have anything on the side, switching weapons might "push" you off. These are all known bugs, most of them are in the tracker, and there are videos about them. I think it's on the developers radar, we just have to wait for a fix :)

There is no loot because of issues with the loot persistence. I've seen the experimental servers "hang" on 14.00 because of the dupe glitches with military spawns. Because of the stacks of loot in several places of the map, no new loot spawns in other places, which makes it hard to come across anything really... I think that leaving your stuff there is a nice idea, maybe people still loot on experimental :D

Happens a lot on the military base south of NW airfield as well. Yesterday it was an issue on 5 of the experimental servers during the maintenance. You could see the servers jumping from 8.00 to 14.00, people joining, and then the server resetting to 8.00 again.

They seem to be rare on "persistent loot" servers. Don't spawn back into the buildings you normally find them... But then again, the loot system is pretty broken at the moment on those servers, not a lot of anything to find in any of the populair cities.

Feeling? Or graphical? The mouse input is the same down the scope, might be in your settings... I've disabled mouse smoothing all together.

Hi all. I'm surprised that the DayZ standalone doesn't allow you to select a sound output device. I have a soundcard, and it's connected to my speakers. I use the speakers for everyday use, but for games, especially in DayZ, I use a USB headset. This USB headset is registered as a seperate output device, and I need to make it the default output device when I want to play DayZ. It would be so much easier, if the game would just have an option to select the output device. Sometimes I launch the game and I forget to set it to the headset, making me have to quit the game and change it, because changing it while in game, doesn't work.

Well, seems they have confirmed it is an issue, I'm sure it was somewhere in release notes or developer tweets, but can't find it back now. A clanmate of mine recited this from somewhere when it first happened. Stated we should log off and wait some time to reconnect. And just to state the obvious, when we encounter bugs, we of course have to post them to the feedback tracker. At least, I know I do, especially when playing experimental (it even states so in the battlesomething red messages). Lot's of players have been hit by this, and even though it is probably because of the loot changes and such, it could have been revealed during experimental, before they pushed to stable. I've seen several complaints of this happening even on official servers, so it seems the issue is big, and we don't get messages stating that there was a problem during loading of your character. And several wipes in a session (reconnects, session lost, etc) tells us there are problems with saving character states in general. I'm glad the problem is as big as it is now, as they can easily obtain data in order to get to the root cause, and more importantly, a solution. :)

I agree with some of the people stating that you should not be complaining when your character gets reset. Imho, sometimes it might be required for balancing, and I expect it on experimental branch. How can it be that this is still an issue so far in development? I mean, losing your character several times during a playing session (3-4 hours?), that's just unacceptable. How are you supposed to make progress or find bugs to enter into the feedback tracker, if you can't even normally acquire some gear? I'll stay on official servers for the moment, I expect them to release some hotfix coming Wednesday to fix some issues.

I had the same issue, three of my clanmates as well. No messages about hives, no message about what to do... Logged on to several other servers, including one that had persistent items on, but doesn't bring back my gear... So, we just decided to take this chance to loot as freshspawns, and we get some gear. Then the server reset, and we all got reset again. I've tried once again, but this time kept the little gear I had. I'm reluctant to gear up now, as it seems that your stuff can easily dissapear :(

Just spraypainted a folding buttstock for the AKM. Used damaged black spraycan, it turned my buttstock into a wooden one :D

Happened to me again, on the ladder at NE airfield. This is a real thing, saw this youtube video today where the exact same thing happened on the ladder at the ATC tower... https://www.youtube.com/embed/VJfGN1patkI?rel=0&start=929&end=956&autoplay=1

I had this yesterday as well. Was running around the airfield, 3 players on the server, me included. One guy was trying to kill me, he was camping above, so I shot him with my mosin, and he was on the ground. I went up the stairs on the outside, the airstrip side of the building. When I got up, I saw "my leg is extremely painful" and a split second after that "you are dead". Think it's indeed a glitch... Ah well, fun running around for hours on end again to get some loot.
