The Riddler (DayZ)

I assume you're running the game from a standard HD and not an SSD? Defragging on a traditional HD is just fine and can certainly improve performance, but I do not recommend anybody defragging their SSD as it doesn't improve performance and can in some cases damage the SSD. Below is a bit more info on this topic: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2047513/fragging-wonderful-the-truth-about-defragging-your-ssd.html As mentioned above, delete your DayZ.cfg as that should help and from there you can tweak your settings more. Post up your progress if you make any and we'll try to help some more.

I am working on repeating these steps to bury a truck underground and will record the whole thing for the Dev's to take a look at. It typically happens off road more than on road from my experiences. One tip I can share that I've noticed; when driving on a road, whether it be paved or dirt, try and stay away from over hanging trees. Even if you think you're not going to drive even part of the truck under the branches, make sure the truck is completely clear of these trees/branches. No matter what speed i've been traveling at, Its like they "close line" the truck and make the truck dip below the road if I drive part of the truck under the tree. I have not gotten the truck completely stuck in the ground this way, but I thought I was a goner the first time this happened. As the OP is i'm sure aware of this, never get attached to your gear, especially if you get into a V3S at this stage in development.

Thanks to support from our community we were able to report another hacker incident. Below is the video we captured of the said hacker(s) from Sunday.

Kamyshovo has become a hot spot for KOS. Beware when entering this area as of now.....

Crazy weekend playing .53. Had a lot of fun meeting new folks. Thanks for playing here!!!

Thanks man! We've exploded in population the last 2 weeks. Its been awesome but I sure wish we had an admin whitelist or something to hold us a slot. Its been tough getting into our own server :(

TS has been packed as of late. Thanks for joining us to play and thank you for making this server your home!!

Something I noticed at the end of the video when you got killed is the fact that you shot first, yet the guy was still able to get a shot or two off and kill you. This happened to me yesterday at the new Prison Island and its annoying to me from a game mechanics point of view. Getting shot point blank with a handgun is going to (in most cases) prevent that person from firing back. IMHO that guy you were shooting should have at least gone unconscious. Cool video. Enjoyed watching.

Great shot with the island in the background. Thanks for sharing the church and graveyard info. I love WWII history so I'm gonna have to research the memorial info. Clearly something regarding the soldiers who fought between 41 and 45. Be neat to see exactly what its all about. :beans:

Now that .53 has been released to stable and in the known issues of the Change Log it states "Server Freezes" , lets keep this thread going on reporting issues. Let's see if we can find any correlation to the lockup/freezes we saw in .52 and help report data through the feedback tracker for the Dev's to see. Only played .53 for a few hours so far but I saw our server perform restarts as it should with no freeze ups or temporary hangs like we saw quite a bit in .52. I'll keep reporting based on what we see or get reported to us on our TS.

Thanks man! .53 has been fun so far!!! You're always welcome to come on TS @ dal-voice1.fragnet.net:9991 Larger groups will be on TS at night and on the weekends. See you out there!

We are LIVE! on .53!!! ENJOYING THE PRISON!!!!

Thanks for playing with us!!! Had some fun server gatherings in Kamishovo!!!

Silly cheaters!!!!! No tolerance for that!!!! Thank you for reporting and getting us video evidence!!! From all the admins, we thank you very much!!! Add us to your favorites!!!

Thank you for coming on our TS to report hackers with video evidence!!! It really helps when reporting!!! Thanks to all who play here!!!

Yes, the entire public hive will be reset so everybody will start as a new spawn. Its awesome to hear discussion about cheaters and hackers in detail. As a server co-owner/admin I am very excited to have logs and have more control over the server when it comes to dealing with cheaters. Of course I understand we won't always be free of cheaters and hackers but its very nice to know the security team has been hard at work. :beans:

Elektro continues to be a killing ground. If you read this and play on our server, treat Elektro as KOS. Trying to be friendly has gotten me killed every time so no more mr. nice guy while in Elektro this guy. If you are in Elektro, hop on our TS via dal-voice1.fragnet.net:9991 and let us know. We can team up or simply avoid one another so not to accidentally kill someone who isn't hostile.

From my experience, this is a restart forced by your GSP. I've seen Fragnet restart our server shortly after our scheduler performed the restart. Fragnet has mentioned before they run a script to look for servers running over 4 hours and force restart it. How often do you have your server set to restart? I'm having trouble with my login again with the feedback tracker. I have Acco (admin on here) looking into but this is what I get when I view my account :( (see below). I will log this info as soon as I have a fix!!!! APPLICATION ERROR #12 This account is protected. You are not allowed to access this until the account protection is lifted.

We are now ranked 22nd!!! That's up from 49th at the start of last week. Thank you to all who make your home on our server!! YOU are why we exist!!!!

Crazy weekend in the Coastal cities. Lots of PVP in Elektro and massive gun fights in Cherno. Thanks to all of those who came on our TS to report cheaters/hackers. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and if at all possible, please remember to record said player(s). We can retrieve that video from you via our FTP as we'll give you access to upload your video to us. We then evaluate the video and send it on to the Admins here on these forums if it indeed looks like its a player who is cheating/hacking.

Good info here guys. Has anybody sent a feedback tracker into the Dev's? If not, I'll volunteer to do so with information based in this thread. I'll also make sure and give credit where credit is due by mentioning forum names in that feedback tracker. Just lemme know as I'll be happy to submit this info. :thumbsup:

Ok so here's something interesting to follow what Sinnaman was discussing above. Last night as the server was full we had a player in TS spamming connect to try and get in. As he finally started to connect we noticed the server hang up (unable to open doors, do anything with inventory etc) as his name had an hourglass next to it as well as another player right below him in the list with an hourglass next to his name as well. They were the very last two spots in the list (bottom). Player on TS mentioned he was stuck on "Please Wait" so with the server as it was I asked him to disconnect, and almost immediately we noticed the server started responding again. The player in the list that was below him connected as well. Its only one example so I'll keep an eye on it tonight as we play and fill up after a restart to see what happens. I have a feeling it does have something to do with the server allowing 2 players to connect at once into possibly the same slot. I'll keep you updated Sinnaman

My thoughts as well owning the same set of headphones. Its a good idea but in reality this would be so hard to keep pure while in the game. Somebody is always going to be able to mute or find a way to communicate outside of the game. I too am soooooo ready for the new sound engine to be introduced. I used to be so paranoid when I first played b/c I thought I heard a door close when at that time there was no door closing sound actually in the game. :D

Thanks man!!! We've been enjoying 10 more players on the server and I hope those who patiently wait for a free slot enjoy it too!!

We are now a 50 player server!!!! Thanks for all the support from the community. Enjoy!!!!
