    Stable Update 1.19

    4 YEARS GUY! That's how long cars have been broken. That's right, they have been broken long before the words Covid-19 became part of our lexicon. You think cutting them any slack is going to make a difference? My goal has been to educate every potential player looking to buy the game. They should know cars work maybe 25% of the time, they should know serverr exploits due to the lack of database security wrecks community and official servers. They should know hackers thrive on ESP in the game. I will not stop asking questions. I will not stop holding BI's feet to the fire when they continuously do the same crap over adn over again. Launch a piss poor excuse of a patch and expect everything to be smoothed over with a shiny new weapon they added. They do this ALL THE TIME. Look, I run DayZ servers, I have over 20,000 hours in the game between two steam accounts. I am a DayZ junkie. I love the game in SPITE of BI's lackluster development. I'm putting together a killer server on the Chiemsee map. We've come up with a great way to keep bases under control and our mod developer is finalizing this cool mod we are going 5to use on our server then give it to the community for FREE. No one is forcing me to play this... I don't need a reset, I am clear eyed what is happening, I've been involved here since the mod days so if you choose to look at DayZ with rose-colored glasses, that's YOUR PROBLEM. Don't try to play off real concerns shared by many as "the devs are doing their best cut them some slack." Dude... that ship definitely sailed with the one month Beta, then Release debacle. You need to do some research and KNOW the history of the development of the game, it played out RIGHT here and on Reddit.

    Wring Your Gloves

    That has been a thing for a long time. We combat that by putting up one or two strategic street lamps in early tier 1 and 2 towns and increased the number of flash lights and glow sticks in those areas as well. Solved that problem.

    So what would you change to nights to make them less flawed and inspiring?

    Playing on a server by yourself is not a very good test of the new vehicles... just sayin'

    You know it's bad when Summit, who just got back into streaming DayZ says, "It's like development went back 3 years with this patch." BOOM! Truth!

    Stable Update 1.19

    When have cars ever been normal? It's like, the developers have decided that they can put out huge maps and just throw in cars that will either get destroyed if they encounter a flea in the air, or fly like they have been summoned by Harry Potter, or just outright kill the player for no reason at all. I've been at this so long that I honestly think they sit around a campfire at night and smoke weed and laugh their asses off at all the videos of players dying by vehicles. Give them hope, then slap them down! Hey Spanel, pass that blunt! <takes a toke> Yeah, that's good shit right there. Stupid players thinking a car is useful.... LOL!!!!! HAHAHA <cough><cough>!

    Welcome to DayZ development... enjoy the ride. Our vehicles fly and our bullets magically get stopped by tree branches. Have fun!

    But @Parazight! The casuals don't have attention spans longer than that. That's why they are on their phones constantly swiping up on Tic Tok, they are conditioned for this type of gameplay. it's important, that's what DayZ is all about now. Don't say anything to the contrary or the mean ol mods here may take offense.

    Stable Update 1.19

    OH! How wrong you are! Today, they fixed the misalignment of Widgets on the quickbar! (/sarcasm off) I get what you are saying, I've stuck through this BS for almost 9 years now. I don't understand why they released this patch with so many issues not ironed out, ESPECIALLY WITH THE VEHICLES, again, they are nearly unusable, and the answer is for server owners to make sure they spawn with tires. LOL! This is not the first time they have recommended this to server owners and I find it funny that they claim to make a step forwards only to take steps backward simply because they didn't fully vet this patch.... YET AGAIN. I know software development is hard, I work in IT. I was a software project manager for many years, and one thing I learned is that if the customers are constantly yelling at you that you are giving them crap, you need to fix your internal testing methodology. What you guys are and have been doing is a complete joke. You are your own worst enemy. Please stop this vicious cycle of fix, test 5 minutes and release. I know this patch was on experimental for awhile, and should have STAYED on it until the vehicles worked reliably.

    GLITCH: Looking Through Walls (PS5)

    But that's not what he is talking about. The big problem is when you first log in on console, many times you can see through walls for several seconds because the server is lagged to shit, most of the official console servers are absolute garbage spec wise and over provisioned. I bet quite a few of them use spinning disks rather than SSD's, but they are pretty much garbage and so the game takes forever to load everything in and you can watch people moving around and call out their locations to your buddies simply by logging out and logging back in. The other is you can either lay or stand a certain way against a wall and push your weapon through and kill someone on the other side of the wall. This was fixed on PC. example:

    Why don't use real values in weapon ballistics?

    I could not agree more, you can substitute any exec from the company when I say BI, and yes, Spanel especially.

    Why don't use real values in weapon ballistics?

    Not to derail this thread, but it is true that the direction of this game, the direction players (meaning PC Players) wanted and were in lock step with the original development team on, suddenly change when the console money grab occurred to a more watered down direction, because DayZ has always been a long play game.... not a casual play game. But there was no way BI could hope for success on Console without making serious changes, not only in game mechanics but in the direction of the game itself to get the casuals on board. Many people have argued with me about this, and I stress, go back and read the old posts, they are still on this forum in black and white and you can CLEARLY see the transition and how the hardcore community built around the game lambasted BI for this 180. Of all the mistakes this development has made over the last 9 years, console inclusion was the WORST! The game has suffered, the gameplay has suffered. DayZ has and always will be an "almost" great game. It will never truly live up to it's potential. That is a cold, hard fact.

    What's the plan, ScottyB???

    All great questions..... And one I will add... when will the server exploit be fixed that has caused MUCH harm to community servers where ANYONE with a third grade education can connect to the server and write junk to the database? Many community servers are being held hostage by scripting asshats because there is a mind boggling simple tool out there free in the wild that lets them takeover and shut down servers because there is no database security in place. And like Parazight asked... when will the cars be fixed? (a question that has been out there for 4 years now?)

    Stable Update 1.19

    We were warned by WOBO that on servers with high pop and poor performance that this would happen, But on the server we are about to launch, with FPS running at a buttery smooth 8700, we got flying vehicles. No bases, nothing wierd, about 10 vehicles spawn on the server, and while we were testing yesterday, the car hit a fence and went out of sight in the air. I was watching server FPS at the time at happened. Nobody was lagging, my ping is 20 ms because the server is on my network. BI sure knows how to instill confidence in it's player base with these amazing patches.

    Does that answer your question?

    Gunbashing is unbeatable in melee

    There is no way to balance base building and raiding in Vanilla..... NONE! It takes a while to build a base, and doesn't take much in the way of explosives to enter one. Concrete and metal building should have made it to vanilla to counter explosives, but oh well, BI! Always leaving it up to modders to do the real work. I work really hard to make base raiding challenging on my servers. But I have to mod the shit out of it to make it fair.

    You won today... @Riddick_2K That has got to be the single best description of DayZ I have seen in a long time. Beans bro... beans.

    I guess I will NEVER see the day I can actually remove what is written in my signature.

    BI, this does NOT inspire confidence

    OK... so the new physics engine is in place. There are a crap ton of community servers that are possibly going to suffer worse now with this engine switch. Vehicles and security exploits have been my main problem with DayZ, and while supposedly making vehicles try to run better with an engine switch, it better not be a final step. We need some optimizations done on the server exe.

    Yep, a bunch of children were making cars fly.... BI's response, screw the script kiddies, we will make our own cars fly!

    Yeah, I screwed that up. I will fix it.
