And on console after 1.14 dropped Takeaway? BI still hasn't done anything to fix the biggest issue facing DayZ. Do you think if they ignore it enough, it will just go away? If you are thinking about buying DayZ, please understand cars have been broken for many, MANY years now. And BI has done little, if anything, to fix them. The videos posted all in this thread shows you the CURRENT state of vehicles and the state has been current three years and going. But hey, you can carry animal carcasses now....

MEANWHILE.... on console before 1.14 dropped.....

If you want a survival challenge, play a properly run Namalsk server.

Meanwhile on console..... Truly, the developers have blessed us with such amazing vehicle physics. I am so looking forward to carrying animal carcasses... I hope the physics work just as well as these amazing vehicles.

And THERE YOU HAVE IT. So anyone that comes on the forum to vomit that a handful of community servers have cars working perfectly IGNORE the fact that those servers have to pay big money for OVERKILL servers to make this game work for their communities. I run a Dayz server on a dedicated 6700K 32GB SSD Drive Windows 2013 server. This is way more than what is recommended by BI.It is the only thing on the server and when pop hits 15, cars start to become unusable. Even on low pop, less than 8, you can still have hiccups. The server FPS will be in the thousands and STILL you will have wobbles and drops while driving. Server is tied to a Google Fiber backend in Kansas City, my average ping is under 30 from my home machine with an average 100MB/s cable modem on a 5800X AMD proc with 32GB memory. So in short, the issue is not the equipment... it IS THE BAD DEVELOPMENT DECISION that has gotten us in this mess. Just because someone has a bunch of cash to burn to "fix" the problem, is not really fixing anything. They are simply saying "I GOT MINE" and everyone else can deal with it. Not much different from the way it is currently being handled by BI. They know there is a problem, they have tried to fix it, so they say, but we just have to deal with it while we pick up our animal carcasses. Just ignore the flying cars, eat your Bear Steak and love it.

Were you playing on an official server, Parazight?

Meanwhile, the vast majority of communities AND Official and XBOX and Playstation servers all suffer from a terrible decision made by developers. Again, their are a few communities who had to OVERBUILD servers beyond spec to accomodate for bad development decisions. Good that they can afford it, too bad the majority of players will never be a part of it. I would think people that actually care about this game would want the problem resolved instead of being a forum twerp saying "I GOT MINE!" and not working to alert everyone of the REAL situation at hand.

It's not weird at all. They can choose to ignore who they want or what is being said at will on twitter and facebook. Not so much here on the official forums. You can't ignore the truth when it happens here. It's harder for people to find the truth on Facebook and Twitter because of all the noise. They just choose to ignore the entire forum here, it doesn't go away, but more importantly... people wanting to play the game come to the forum to see what is REALLY up with the game. You don't get that kind of information on FB or Twitter.

Meanwhile again on PC.....

Seems they forgot to mention they fixed the vehicles after nearly 3 years.... wait... what?.... they didn't forget? Oh, yeah, picking up animal carcasses is much more important than having stable working vehicles. Good Job BI. You do such a great job listening to your player base. Everyone has been pandering for picking those carcasses up... adds so much more realism to the game. BI DEVELOPER: "HEY GUYS!" OTHER DEVS: "HEYA. GOOD MORNING!" BI DEVELOPER: "NEW IDEA! LET'S LET PLAYERS PICK UP ANIMAL CARCASSES!" OTHER DEVS: "YEAH, THAT IS SO BAD ASS!" BI DEVELOPER: "I MEAN, YOU KNOW OUR VEHICLES ARE WORKING PERFECTLY. THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO PUT SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRUNK, RIGHT?!?" OTHER DEVS: "YES, TELL THE EXECS TO GIVE THIS DUDE A HUUUUUGE RAISE AND BRING THE HOOKERS AND BLOW IN! PARTY TIME!!" Meanwhile.... on PC....

Check your surroundings and where you step OFTEN. Stop being attached to your gear.

Not to mention that they haven't fixed vehicles in over three years.... you're right, it's very sad.

Glad you pointed that out Parazight since I put the trolling moron on ignore. Best thing is to never feed the trolls. They are like Gremlins, feeding then ANYTIME causes them to multiply.

Yes, the cars work perfectly according to the local troll. And no the videos I post are not mine, they are from the dozens and dozens of youtube videos that get posted daily about how shitty cars are from people all over the world. This guy got lucky. Console cars are even worse than PC. That much is for certain.

I call anything you say as "fart". Clearly, you are full of gas. Taking my own advice and placing this gasbag on ignore.

I just starteda new survival/PvP Namalsk server, running an 8700K and 32 GB of memory and 1 TB NVME drive running Windows Server 2012. We have about 7 people on the server now. last night with 3 people on cars started bouncing. Only 6 cars spawn on Namalsk... SIX. Server has been up 4 days now. Server is on a 100GB fiber connection in Kansas City, plugged straight into Google's backbone there. I got a consistent 24 ms ping. Cars and their physics are SCREWED. End of discussion.

Gamerwarrior is a troll. And not even a good one. Notice how he conveniently didn't mention anything about the flying cars or the car going underground earlier or hell, ANY of the many examples I have laid out here. Best thing is to set him to ignore.

OT: And the console experience on DayZ is not exactly unicorns and rainbows....

There's nothing contentious about why cars are server side. The devs said why, TO FIGHT HACKERS because their sanity checks were a lie and Battleye doesn't work worth a shit in most cases. it Hackers are still a problem on many high pop servers, thus the reason Anarchy is popular with his killing DayZ hacker videos. Cars don't fly in reality. And through no fault of your own, your car will eventually fly and you will die and lose your progression. That is why I continue to bring this subject to light. Wait patiently, you say? Look at the date I joined vs you. We have waited long enough for this issue to be resolved. Like I said, my intent for this thread is to show new or potential new DayZ players how bad one of the major features of this game is broken and they can make an informed purchasing decision. This is what server side cars gets you....

So yeah.... 1.14 has zero car fixes. Is anybody surprised by this? No? Good. Neither am I. Let's enjoy just how wonderful these machines are currently and ask ourselves if it's within the realm of possibility BI will ever figure out how vehicles actually work....

Desperately looking for vehicle fixes..... None to be found.... back to updating the AWESOME VEHICLE THREAD!

I've encountered this one time on PC and thought it was a one off UNTIL I saw THIS video from a PS4 player. Shooting invisible drivers does nothing....until they appear after getting out of the vehicle. I wonder how often this bug happens?

Well.... surely this is not supposed to happen driving slowly over railroad tracks. As Biden says "C'mon man!"

This just in.... cars are even worse on console!

Very likely a map issue. How likely do you think it will get fixed?
