You keep denying it, but so much of this game changed to cater to the console market, it's not even funny. The money grab was too tempting and so much of this game has suffered over the years because of it. One of the challenges is keeping parity across three different platforms.... I will speculate that the reason it is taking so long to fix the vehicle simulation is because of having parity. It has to work everywhere and there has to be good performance on all three platforms. Many times to make that happen, you have to make compromises, and on the surface that makes sense, but if you only had to support ONE platform, as the game was originally designed, then you could tailor the performance much, MUCH easier. But hey, MONEY! Meanwhile, PC Fans have to suffer through a bunch of nonsense that should have never happened.

Because consoles really are inferior and always will be to the PC. You can argue their graphics are close to being on par with PC, but you will never have the same level of performance you can get with PC, Consoles always have to make compromises and oh yeah, they are limited to waht the manufacturer puts in them. For some people, they buy Apple and enjoy a closed system and Apple tells them what they can and cannot do, and for those that really want a powerful phone with many more options and a bit more freedom, they buy Android. To each their own, but I'll take freedom over control any day of the week.

Seeing the word "TRADER" in the title of ANY server just means skipping that server. Traders suck and create aweful communities of players.

It's a long standing problem for BI to have communications all over the damn place. A roadmap is not a promise, it's intent, what, and when. Things change, we are in post-live period, this shouldn't be hard.

No, it's not. https:// gtfothegame .com/ roadmap (remove the spaces) That is an example of a publicly digestible road map. The details, goals and deadlines are CRUCIAL in understanding said roadmap.

@Parazight There has been this huge push to get people away from the forum and have everyone move over to their podcast, where they literally can screen questions and not have to take difficult ones like we ask. And they are calling the information about the update for 1.16 the roadmap. They give political answers. Uncommitted and void of details. So there you have it, you were patted on the head and summarily dismissed... LOL!

And you haven't been put in DayZ Jail yet? This system is rigged, much like our own Justice System here in the States.

You have to go to Battleye for help. No help given here for bans.

I worked in software development for years and did project management a number of those years, and I can assure you, you CAN engage with your customer on a daily or even weekly basis and KEEP THEM INFORMED of what is going on. People do realize that shit happens. The problem with BI over the years is that they ran their mouth and didn't deliver much of what they said, THEN they took the opposite road of not saying anything and delivering very little. I appreciate you engaging with us, but you really should read the old threads on this forum for a full of understanding of how things have been compared to now. BI is virtually neglecting it's fan base. Livestreams that few people even know about don't count. The non-update update announcements we get don't cut it. We are in the dark and no one there gives two shits at this point because there is no accountability. Oh I'm sure the suits hold people accountable, but I mean accountability to the people that support and buy your product. You guys are yiour own worst enemies at this point and nobody there gives a damn about it because why should they. You made a ton of money and that's it. Look at Hello Games, they screwed the pooch on their launch so bad, I mean it was one of the worst launches in video game history, and look at them now. Are you guys just not capable of demanding more of yourselves? Are you not capable of weekly communications with players outside the influencer bubble that you have continually been counting on? Why can't the devs explain why the client/server security is so lax? Why can't they let community server owners know they are working on fixing it? Why can't they give updates on their progress on all aspects weekly? An update on progress is not the same as making promises or even saying release dates. Hello Games turned out to be masters at doing that and engaging with the fan base CONTINUALLY and that is a small company. We expect better of you guys, and you continually let us down. We love this game, but as a development company, BI is simply not anything special at this point. Please DO BETTER. AND FIX THE SECURITY EXPLOITS AND VEHICLES.

I have to agree with Parazight here. But my argument is that if you can't make your game secure with the most BASIC of security checks (ie make sure a client and ONLY a client can connect to your server), then how in the world are we to expect you to fix complex physics and calculations involved in such. I mean we have gone BEYOND meme status, joke status at this point. All of this speculation come from Bi going silent since going Beta. They have essentially stopped communicating with their fans and now only do these livestreams that few people even know about. Again, I point out Hello Games as the defacto ultimate example of what EVERY game company should strive for, ESPECIALLY when your product turns into a shit sandwich. After a stupendously horrible launch with No Man's Sky, they not only delivered on their early promises, they are OVER DELIVERING. They had a shit sandwich and now it's the finest piece of Wagyu steak for gamers to enjoy. BI has yet to hold a candle to them. All we get are cryptic responses from DayZ community people and non-announcement announcements from the devs. Look, I want DayZ to be amazing, I want it to succeed, but if I want in one hand and crap in the other, all I'm left with is a gooey shit-covered hand. Only BI can fix this debacle. They haven't done it since 2014, I'm hoping they will at least offer us a towel to wipe this mess off. Until then, we get to enjoy the stink excreted for us.

They can't get to all the spam messages because they are too busy silencing dissenters and those not drinking the BI Koolaid. I was in BI Jail for quite awhile, and it wasn't the first time either. They do not like me calling them out on the vehicle debacle they created. At first, I wasn't going to post, but I messaged Impulse about a vehicle that turned out to be bogus and he "graciously" allowed me to post again. The rules on this forum are the worst joke ever, almost as bad as the acting in their Reforger launch video. God, that was embarrasing. Literally, our local podunk theater group could have done a better job. So the forum is cluttered with people name calling and spam, and I get put in jail for reminding BI at every turn how shitty their car physics are and the fact that server exploit STILL exists in the game. Some servers are still getting shit on via this stupidly simple exploit. Nice going guys. It makes so much sense.

Careful Parazite. You will quickly find yourself in DayZ Jail as I have several times here for stating any truth (ie CRITICISM) of the establishment here.

Yeah... ok.

Can someone explain how new math works because those numbers don't add up using regular math. 50,000 hours in 3 years is an impossibility. I guess I'd be "board" too trying to find the missing 24,000 hours or so.

Just run it on different ports with the same IP. It's really simple if you just use Omega Manager. It will practically do everything for you, just make sure the ports are open on your Windows Firewall, that is all.

Based on your username alone, I am certain you will get quality people to help.

And just so we are clear... I've been thinking since 2014. 😉

Spot on. I think you meant to say "Game devs are worse than politicians." 🙂

So what is the information regarding the vehicle simulation? Was it just to tell us that it looks promising but it's not included in this patch? That is extremely, EXTREMELY lame. Could you not have just made a separate announcement about that and maybe give a few details. Why do you consistently show something shiny and new like a new gun, or hat, but then slap everyone down by "oh, that feature that has been broken for years, and years, well, it's still broken, maybe next time.... duh...huh...huh." I know I have been very critical of you guys, but you constantly do the same thing over and over... here's something shiny and new, but the thing you really want is still cooking, and then GIVE NO INFORMATION as to what it is that you are doing about it. My signature is still relevant today as it was in 2018.

Go to an old backup, or delete them and start over. There are no utilities to fix broken files. Are you on a Hard Drive, SSD, or NVME drive?

Your files are corrupt,

The standard has been set by Hello Games. That company and their biggest game went from a complete disaster to a full tilt community driven masterpiece. The devs are all over the community answering questions, working on issues in tandem with end users. I mean, they created a lemon shitshow and turned it into a first class lemonade Vegas act. but with BI, it's wish in one hand and crap in the other to see which on gets filled faster when it comes communication.

The title is a bit of sarcasm. Based on the response from Impulz to my and others arguments within the Experimental thread, I have moved the conversation about just how awful vehicles are in their current state here. Console players, feel free to join in as I know you guys are suffering as well. My entire argument is we have been told that vehicles would be fixed and let's hope before the end of the year as it was pointed out by Parazight that support for the game lasts through the end of this year and we have not been told if BI will support it further. Vehicles have been broken for years and little if anything has been done to address the issue. This is fact, nobody should blow up over this statement as a given truth about DayZ. In general, vehicles work OK as long as the pop stays low and their are not a lot of bases in the vehicle vicinity. But vehicles can and will move around even on low pop servers. If two people are in a vehicle and one has a crappy internet connection, in my experience in particular if it is the driver, you can expect to be launched and die eventually. Many community servers are using mods to work around the terrible results from the current vehicle implementation. They use mods like "No Vehicle Damage" or "Car Cover" to keep vehicles from getting destroyed along with their occupants/gear and to remove the vehicle from the simulation so it doesn't move around or disappear until you are ready to use it. The purpose for this thread is for the community to demonstrate just how horrible vehicles are so that new players thinking about buying DayZ can look at what BI calls a finished product and understand just exactly what they will be getting into. So feel free to post videos and tell us your horrible vehicle stories. I would encourage community server admins and hosters to put their two cents in as well. If you've experienced nothing but good things about vehicles, then feel free to tell us. To help gather information, please include what the server pop was, were their bases nearby, did people have crappy internet? As much detail as possible. To start with, here's a video with the current state of DayZ vehicle in 2021.

Ummm... the flying vehicle issue in Reforger is TOTALLY different than DayZ. Since BI doesn't communicate with it's community any longer the best theory going is this is a bug where if the driver disconnects while currently moving the vehicle will maintain velocity and continue to move in the direction it was until another player gets in the driver seat to resume physics simulation ecause even after the player leaves, the vehicle does not return to the server's ownership and continues to give the player ownership and, in doing so, input even though they no longer exist. Completely different from waht is happening in DayZ where vehicles are client side PERIOD as it exists today. Seriously, I jsut want to see them fix something of substance in DayZ. The 1.18 patch does not address Vehicles or even more importantly, Server Exploits.
