The Riddler (DayZ)

I've noticed the FPS drop as well. Its quite possible they've made more changes than just the loot spawns that I mentioned above. I also noticed last night that rain seems to be turned back on? I joined a server and it was pouring down. They were chasing me along the coast and I've seen them inland as well. Might have just gotten (un)lucky not seeing any?

I can confirm this as well. Here are two shots of my gear spawning in Cherno. First shot is of the loot I got from a Guard House in Cherno Industrial Area including the backpack. I dId not find the heat pack .22 ammo, .308 or hat there but still rather different gear than prior. 2nd is up at the Apartments north of Cherno (ones closest to Balota Airfield). As you can see there is a lot of good stuff. Was there any notice of this on social media or here?

Yes its been there for too long if you ask me for as much reporting that has gone into the feedback tracker I linked. Its clearly a difficult issue to tackle it seems. Don't forget the Spiral Staircase at Prison Island. I went up that thing once and never came down. Screen started flickering grey, next my legs broke, and "you are dead" :)

While on a somewhat empty server making my way to a static chopper crash I saw a glow in the direction of what I was pretty sure was the location of the crash. As I got closer I quickly realized the glow was the lights from a Cargo Truck. My heart began to race as there had to be at least someone at the site. Not wanting to get too close I patiently waited to see shadows or silhouettes in the truck lights.........but nothing. Nobody was near the chopper. The wait was killing me and my nerves were stretched. I thought to myself "I honestly don't need anything from the chopper". So I decided not to go any closer. However I did take these screen shots and wanted to share. If anybody wants a full size image (1920 x 1080) just PM me and I'll send you a link.

My thoughts exactly. With nobody at the actual crash site, there had to be someone in the trees waiting. I wasn't about to find out though :D Thanks for the beans!

Multiplay is working with us to switch to another server.....again. We are destroying the memory on the server we're on and thus having performance issues because of it. We will be giving in game notices of the NEW IP and when we plan to swap over. We will give at least a weeks notice before we swap the server over to another machine. As always, thanks for our loyal fan base. The server is full every single day. Thank you! Regards,

Indeed I do good sir. I went ahead and made a note on this issue here: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=5169 I didn't want to start a new one as I believe that ID is related to the issue I saw the other day. I fully plan to test this again on a full server while recording and will add that note to the tracker. If anybody else dies suddenly while in the upper floors of a building, please add a note to the above TRACKER. I've noticed that too. Frames drop down in the 20's for me but the moment I leave that building it bumps right back up. I stay on the ground floor mostly just in the gymnasium to pickup a pair of hunting paints if I need them and then i'm outta there.

We're still here. Server is usually full. Just search for Welcome the Jungle and you'll find us in the server browser. Regards,

So I played a little this weekend. Honestly missed playing even with the conditions of this patch. Decided i'll just do some PVP since no persistence etc. So got pretty damn geared pretty quick on the coast (military clothes and weapons). Decided while on Welcome to the Jungle which was full at 50 players to go check out Berezino and its new layout. Let me say, I really really LOVE!! the new layout and added buildings. I nearly got my head taken off by somebody taking in the sites. :D Seriously, really well done dev's. ANYWAYS, I wanted to see if anybody else has had issues while in the upper floors of buildings? I decided to go hide out in an old place while hearing lots of gun shots in Berezino and after about 10 minutes of hanging out upstairs I was suddenly dead. I was crouched on the third floor of the building off the main road next to the pub closest to the coast. The server was performing poorly as well I noticed lag/desync in my movements so maybe I just somehow fell out of the building? I heard a younger kid close to me saying "hello" right before I died but the building i'm in has floors that make it very obvious when somebody is inside with you. I waited about 2 mins on the "You are Dead" screen just to see if I could hear somebody come loot me but never heard anything. I plan to go back inside that building again recording my game play to see if its indeed the building (kinda like fire stations used to be) but thought i'd see if anybody else experienced this. THANKS!!!

Just dropping in to say hello and catch up on .57 feedback. I played a little this past weekend and after having issues already described in this thread and having checked the feedback tracker; I've "put the game back on the shelf" for now and will continue to watch and read from the nose bleed section of the bleachers as development continues (I hope). To me, the game is more "Alpha" now than it has ever has been; just too many issues for it to be enjoyable for me. ^^^^Please don't take that last statement as an attack on development; its simply my opinion when trying to play this game. Here's to hope and hoping the developers finish up the 3rd quarter strong. I look forward to playing this game again.

Server IP was changed .....again. Multiplay did a great job of explaining it and even gave us a discount for the troubles. Server is out there somewhere........a lot of us are kind standing idle while in wait for the next patch or two.

Well.....I've decided now is a good time to step back from this game; I've had enough for now. Our GSP change our IP on our server....YET AGAIN thus causing us to lose our traffic and rank. On top of that it is my opinion that this game's performance drastically needs improving. I know we've been reading from the Dev's that they are taking drastic steps to improve performance, so I truly hope we see it in the future. As I mentioned in the status report thread, if taking out the zed's means more server/client performance, so be it, but in my opinion the true test will be when they reintroduce them back into stable and we see what performance is like. Until then I'm ready to take a break. I'll be watching from the nose bleed section on how the next few updates effect the game's performance and hope for the best. Had my character commit suicide as I felt it was the proper thing to do since there is a wipe in the near future anyway :P Good luck survivor's and thanks to those of you who made "Welcome to the Jungle // 24/7 Daytime!!" your home.

Won't be anything in the logs as they are currently to indicate who hit you unfortunately. Its frustrating :(

Good stuff. Enjoyed that!

Slowly climbing the ranks!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH DAYZ COMMUNITY!!! Special shout out to the streamers who frequent the Jungle!!!!!!! hundredcardhero C4MINO

For me, this is really going to be a test to see if they really can squeeze out more performance b/c right now as we all know its pretty bad. I'm really going to be paying attention to these performance increases with my 50 POP server. Performance sometimes as it is now with 50 players is just a joke. I just simply have to log out and walk away from playing or find a lower pop server, but would rather play on my own server so its frustrating at times. If removing Zombies helps clear the way to better performance and overall better zed's in the long haul; SO BE IT.

Server was down for less than 5 mins and back up on new hardware!

Multiplay has contacted us to let us know they are upgrading the hardware for our Server. We may have some downtime today or tonight Central Standard Time (US). Once the server is back up it will be better than it was!

slow but steady, we are climbing back up in rank!!! We have broken into the TOP 50 thanks to players like you!!!!!!

LOL! I foresaw a comment of this type coming my way :) Weather is cool; it just used to rain so god damn much on our server .....maybe that's really why I named it "The Jungle" :rolleyes:

Has the rain been turned back on? I understand its bugged in .55. Honestly hope its still bugged in .56 :)

X2. I just got done talking to one of my admins about this exactly. Agreed and I believe the Dev's know this too. At least experimental is up for you boys to enjoy and test. Wish I could join but I only have enough time to read the forums right now.

So I got stuck in a rock back in the .54 update down near Kami. I tried rolling, I tried crouching, I tried running.......I tried ok? Nothing would allow me to exit the rock..... ......then it dawned on me that DayZ is just like a Ride. It goes up and down, round and round, it has thrills and chills and its fun.....for a while......so it inspired me to make this quick little video. Enjoy and let this be a reminder to all of you...... DON'T GET ATTACHED TO YOUR GEAR ;)

While I appreciate the advise and warning, I'd prefer not to remove files just to get out of a rock. It was just easier to commit suicide and try again. Having the option to submit a ticket and have your character moved would be the preferred method over deleting/removing :) In the end, I really don't care about my gear :P

Saw some really strange stuff this weekend with trucks I have not seen before in this patch. Apologies if it was already reported or its already known, but I was driving a truck on several occasions in the center of the road and all of a sudden I was off the road by a good 30 - 40 feet. I crashed a few times b/c of this and all I can think of is the truck dysnc'd or my player did? Hard to replicate, but annoying when it happened.
