I had trouble with DayZ when I first got my USB headset too, try this: Load up DayZ and then alt-tab back to desktop. First right-click your windows audio down by the clock, select Playback Devices. Confirm that your wireless headset is set to default. Now right-click windows audio again and select Volume Mixer. Confirm that DayZ is there under Applications and see if the slider is down. If so ^^^

Inventory seems to be fixed, but on that note I did notice something related: I have my Tilde key (~) bound to turn the hot-bar on and off, and the Tab key will bring up my inventory which also displays the hot-bar below (I believe this is default configuration but I may have changed it in the past). So, my Tab key hotbar shows a different set of items than my Tilde key hotbar (which seems to be missing my pitchfork and my blaze). They seem to be out of sync. My pitchfork is bound to 1 and it seems to work just fine. Has anyone else noticed this? For the record, I was being particularly hard with inventory slots trying to stress it by loot cycling Skalisty Island a bunch of times, using jackets as containers, throwing stuff all over, and trying to create cle chaos.

Dang it!

Anyone flaming you as a nub hasn't been around long enough to know your contributions, Mookie. After 5000 hours of doing anything you'll need a vacation, you should definitely take one before your burnout completely. Hope to see you come back in the future, good luck to you.

I was informed by IMT that there is a quick workaround for this: Removing your backpack (or your article of clothing with the slot issues) and placing it in your hands, then back onto your character fixes the inventory chaos. Just a temporary workaround but it's easier than relogging. Also, Welcome! edit - nice fire barrel, haven't seen one of those used in quite a while. It's a great use of a barrel if it stays persistent, but it's a waste otherwise. Did it stay persistent through a restart?

Hunted to the brink of extinction, the DayZ cow has been designated an endangered species since patch 0.61.137302. It is rumored that a small but ravenous group of Van Halen adoring hunters are primarily responsible for the plummeting bovine populations throughout Chernarus. Please think of the starving cawadoodys in Dolina! And don't let those delicious rib eye's go to waste in the next persistence wipe.

I would check your settings and confirm that your W key isn't bound to a secondary action. If that doesn't work I would delete the file that saves your keybinds: C:\Users\(your_username)\Documents\DayZ\(your_username).DayZProfile Shut down Dayz then delete that file above. The next time you start up DayZ a fresh new default file will be created. You'll lose a few of your settings but if you were already willing to do a full reinstall, then what the heck it's worth a try.

Oh my bad you did say thermal not night vision. Personally, I'm glad there's no plan for that, same for nv weapon optics. I think they'd stack the odds way too much.

Night vision goggles are indeed on the dayz trello presently as a work in progress. https://trello.com/c/eNJF0JNf/87-military-grade-night-vision-wip However, I suppose it's possible that the devs have changed their minds about adding it into vanilla.

They've moved the spawn points to test whatever voodoo they need data on, as they have done before and they will likely do again. But relax grasshopper, it's not permanent.

ts.welcometothejungledayz.com Thanks Riddler!

Yeah those Tisy tents are Thurman's handy work, you can have whatever loot might be left - just don't move the tents! Thurman treats exact tent placement like it's an emerging art form. Someone removed a tent and messed up the whole feng shui.

until we confuse ourselves completely and revert back to the traditional names :)

For a only handful of players we've hit that server pretty hard and done some out-of-the-ordinary things. Frequent vehicle carnage for one. Big tent camps dead-smack in the middle of mil zones seem to disrupt the CLE (even though from how we understand the CLE, it shouldn't). Camps elsewhere loaded with prime loot we've moved from one location across the map to another ... I don't even know how many tents we've set up altogether. I wouldn't be surprised if the server is acting up - but I just checked and I logged on and everything seems to be working right. I did a quick run-around and just found another FN FAL in a car trunk to add to our growing FAL tent (no mag) when I eventually get back to SH or DD.

The chair is against the wall .... John has a long mustache...

I don't believe your DayZ is jacked - it's just a streak of bad luck. If you're seeing any loot at all (shirts, hats, pants) then you are connected to the hive and you'll be seeing the same loot that everyone else is seeing. If you're only desire right now is an automatic rifle then you should probably just focus on military installations, forget towns, houses and cars. I wouldn't waste time milling around in one area either or returning to the same zone repeatedly. It's a bit dangerous but my advice would be just eat, drink and keep moving between military bases. Scope them out good, loot them thoroughly and quickly - then get out. Move on to the next military area. Eventually you'll find and automatic rifle. If you did one loop of Myshkino tents, the new tents at the NorthWestern roadblock, Tisy base and Kamensk base and didn't find an automatic rifle I would be very surprised. Good luck.

FWIW: Dayz crashing to desktop then seems to restart itself, never seen that one before. Both 32 and 64 bit. When manually exiting it errors out with memory could not be written 0x00000000 / 0x00000000. Windows error report logs show the above DayZ_64.exe crash and BEDaisy.sys installing and unloading successfully. A steam update did come in for me this morning, maybe that's got something to do with it?

bind key="L", command="spawn Red_Lambo" LLLLLLLLLL

Well which is it?

Good eye! iirc that light blue character screen was caused by one of those archaic launch options, -skipintro or -nosplash

I would take HaseDesTodes suggestion and try Tisy. Today at Tisy base I saw an m4 in a conex, an akm on top of the new building by the xmas tree, an ak101 in the tent section and an ak74, and mags for all except the akm. I don't see how reinstalling would help anything as the loot is determined by the CLE which has nothing to do with your client. Also, I have seen the VSS spawn out there several times too (but unfortunately never with a mag). As far as I can tell the VSS only spawns atop the tower next to the guard shack at 010/014. You may also find tactical bacon in the immediate area!

I'd guess most times it probably is a server restart but something on your own end (like accidentally unplugging your network cable or your own router is acting up) could give the same message. I think "no message received" is just a generic network disconnection.

Haha classic! He's a regular on the server we play on. A mysterious and squirrelly camp ransacker with an unquenchable bloodlust for our crew. It has resulted in more than a few comical deaths. Seeing how the 1PP Exp servers are kind of empty right now, it's a welcome distraction.

Whoever he is I give him credit for his determination, a lesser opponent would've switched servers by now.
