I just finished checking every helicrash; probably checked about half of them twice. I'm pretty confused. I can make a run along the coast from Kamenka to Berezhki, but I have a feeling that trucks are somehow broken on this server. After checking every spawn, and the debug zone, as well as all the helicrashes, and a number of secluded areas that they would likely be stashed, I might be ready to submit a bug report. I'm interested to hear if anyone else has found a server seemingly devoid of vehicles...

Damage is just about fine where it is at. Don't you go and hang up that hat just yet; at least not until the game lets us trade zombies a shoe for 112 ounces of puddin'.

My scroll finger hurts.

Pro tip here: nothing related to persistence works quite as intended, and it may also vary server-to-server. You can never "know" but that which you can verify for yourself. I just spent around 18 hours over this last week verifying that there are likely no more available trucks on my chosen official public server; but backpack stashes are persisting longer than the proscribed three days, so I got that goin for me. Juuuuussst to be nice, I'll say it should be 45 days (this patch only) for barrels and tents, and 3 days for bags. Anything else is left for the bugs to eat when they see fit. Or if you prefer, you can confer with the Horse's Mouth.

I'm starting to think they had all been hoarded off somewhere. I only have the two northern spawns left to check, but I haven't seen a single truck on my server since the one parked in the middle of the road just west of Ratnoe last week. That's kinda why I started this topic, I been doing too much running, I'm starting to wonder if they had switched back to dynamic spawns. Looks like I get a long walk up north.

Hopefully, 2-3 minutes is a gross exaggeration. 30 seconds is about how long a regular potato should take to get to the "I Understand" button.

So far, only the northern spawns left to check. Can't imagine where they all have gone; especially since I've seen zero batteries. Might be time to trade, or try a different server.

Checked, checked all over, hence the new topic. I've been through terminus a few times, never a single truck; nor at Lopatino/Vavliovo. I really don't want to go searching debug plains for trucks on foot.

Thanks for the standard list. Now what I really want to know, is how many have you visually confirmed since .58 went stable?

I'm just a little bit hurt that you think I wouldn't have done that first. I've put a lot of miles on my boots, and so far, have only been able to locate the one in Stary Sobor Ag complex. Was starting to become suspicious that the spawns have changed, after having checked the entire western side of the map a few times over. Perhaps it's just that people be hoppin with batteries, but I've never heard a truck rumbling past. Let's just assume that I created this new topic because I wanted a place to aggregate new and current information related to truck spawns, rather than trusting months-old resources.

If it is on the ground, outside of a persistent container, it is a part of CLE. If you pick it up and take it to another server, then it should not reflect on the CLE budget of the original server. AFAIK, the CLE should only deal with spawned items, and ignore both camps and player inventories. How else could it work, given the public hive system?

I thought it was standard practice to not hang around if things are taking too long. That's why I never log in when I gotta piss. Please wait? No thanks.

Everything I've read recommends setting max frames ahead to 1, as well as detected frames to 1. Is there something that we should know about this setting that hasn't made it out into common knowledge yet?

$49.99 US seems a little on the cheap side. I'm suspicious.

It's okay. I blame you.

Tents and barrels are set to 45 days for the duration of .58; becoming reduced to 7 days thereafter. Backpacks are supposed to be 3 days, but I'm not sure if their decay timers were extended for .58.

So does this mean that when my framerate drops down to the single digits, I should be going and shaking nearby trees to look for treasures?

If you would like some orienteering training, I would be happy to help. I play on US Central 1-55. I'll be somewhere near the middle of the map most of the time.

It now takes a while for your characters vision to adjust to the light, so everything remains black for the first few seconds after you spawn in. .58 was pushed to stable this week, so that may be the wipe that you mentioned.

Rational self-interest: the root of all DayZ kindness.

How about googling tactical bacon and discovering that it is actually a real thing? Tactical bacon from Newegg: $21.90 Shipping: $8.49 That feeling you get when you realize you incorrectly rebuked a peer on an internet forum: Whatever my time is worth for having to explain it to you. XD

Anyone wanna test its efficacy as a fist pack? That stuff is a great way to pull off a sneaky one hit KO punch in game.

I've mostly tried to play on a single public server, and just run around that one server and see what's up. I don't really see lots of server hoppers, but I think the one I chose to make my camps on is usually a low-pop hop-stop. Once I can confirm that they have fixed persistence, I'll try posting taunting messages getting people to come look for camps and care packages, to help populate the server. I prefer the public servers mostly because I can always just log on and play when I get time. I am interested in trying a private server, but I'm having trouble selecting one that I want to stick with, because of the potential waste of time if it goes dark. Anyone have any good recommendations for private servers/hives?

We need higher definition map coordinates. There are a lot of errors currently.

Waiting for devs to add the new item "eyepatch" so I can get my buckles properly swashed in low light or bright conditions.
