I'm going to go one a limb and guess you're asking because you're on a budget, if you are buy a finished game, this is not. I bought it for potential from a PC modders stand point based on previous titles and 4 years later they're still not producing on giving even the sandbox an pieces they promised "soon" let alone a finished game. It has a steep learning curve that will change, glitches, it's grindy, the community can be supremely toxic, no cross play I'm aware of. It's a PVP clusterfuck right now because survival isn't really implemented at all, next week it might be freezing to death over and over simulator again, who knows. I've been playing for four years with a rage quit break and it's been half dozen different games in that time some I hated, some I really liked, just starting to like it again. I have something stupid like 2000 hours but I'm a glutton for repetitive things and frustration, most people aren't.

In case anyone cares I answered my own question, the EXP version of server has it in the configDZ along with a few other features I didn't notice prior to Monday's patch.

I'm running my own 1-2 player server with the current EXP version. I have my server screen beside my client screen to monitor performance as I play but I don't need to know my FPS and me usage ever second, makes other info hard to catch as it flys by. Is there a way I can get that check every 10-30 seconds instead?

Wait until temperature and disease comes back, there was builds where you'd get more excited about finding a raincoat or matches than and M4 and mags and spend two hours getting to the brink of death from food poisoning and have to lay low for another hour while you blood came back up. I'm a mostly off the grid player and have more deaths due to elements and disease than players and infected combined in my 2000+ hours from the "good ole days".

I've been around awhile, the survival elements used to be brutal (fun for me) in certain builds over the years. My theory is they peaked taking money from the survival game guys and now they're trying to pull players from pubg and fortnight and get their money now so pew-pew>survival. The little bit I've participated in the console discussions proves that if a game isn't about "moar gunz" and "wrecking" other players your average console mongoloid can't stay engaged. My $0.02.

Wow, that was a super concise explanation. I'm playing on a closed in home server with almost zero latency now and I'm not seeing any of the glitchy behaviour, I'm thinking that is discrepancies between server and client and being a multiplayer game the server wins those arguments after the fact and corrections look weird. With so much more in the game (not finished) I doubt they're going to make huge changes to make their behaviours more diverse or complicated at this point although BI game tend to mature for several years after they are "done". The quoted portion, I was very, very vocally "that guy" form 2015-2017, I just came back expecting a finished game and got this so.... not so much anymore.

Linking to a Facebook image works too.

I was wondering the same, never played the mod but have 2000+ hours in the .60s version of SA and coming back after a year the new infected are a treat playing solo PVE on my home server, granted all my deaths in my recent 20ish hours are legit mistakes on my part and being mobbed, I haven't been in any of the glitch situations I've read about. Their sensory range seems a little short at times but they feel more alive than ever giving cues of their awareness zig-zagging flanking attack instead of the oh so predictable straight line to your face. Back in the .60 playing with even my youngest kids we could clear a town from the outskirts without breaking a sweat by dropping the two closest ones with a "three two one" snipe and then shooting the oncoming conga line.

Come on bro, trying to get back into this and that just made me sad considering how business are run these days. M4s on the beach and bullets galore and call it Fortnight2? I could see it going that way, lol.

Poor wording I guess, I doubt they're considering things like changing the feel of the input to make it feel more comfortable for players used to twitch shooters at this point, I hope. Been screwed buying a game and having development go ninety degrees on what I was sold before too, I think that was me trying to be positive, lol.

That might be a more of a feature actually, BI games usually feel clunky and burdened to simulate gear weight and situation instead of being a terminator robot that can turn and change direction on a dime. If you care there is a suggestions forum but I don't think and developers read it it's just for venting because the road-map for development is pretty set in stone as far as I understand though.

Yes, I was being cheeky at that point. I've had a PC for over 30 years, parents wouldn't let us have a Nintendo so I got used to gaming with wasd and mouse in my formative years and don't have the fine motor skills for a controller, TBH. Cool thing about DayZ now on PC, I can run my own server and client on one machine and just play the way I want in my own little world now. 😉

Yeah I suppose getting called the n-word or incessant your momma jokes from 13 year olds has its charm, not my cup of tea though. **pinky finger extended snobbishly as I sip**

Cute, no butthurt here princess. I don't have to play with you console plebs anyway, thank god. You asked and I answered your question with the facts of how the game was intended to turn out versus what you saw as development progressed, I've been around for awhile. I did add my personal feelings about COD and Fortnight rejects trying to turn a survival game into twitch shooter when there's so many already on the market. My opinion but emotionally indifferent seeing as how I have my own server, pew pew away in console land fucker. You seem butthurt if anything with the "help me I want it now" mentality because you suck at actually working for stuff and not getting an easy answer? Maybe got lost in translation?

Look at my post count and join date, it has been getting better for a long time, the duping we had in the "good ole days" was ridiculous. One thing I've learned about BI is it takes them years and years to dial a game in. Not sure how it works on consoles, but you'll have the age old cry cry about "how hard they worked" for stuff resisting wipes when the biggest complainers are the ones not wanting their exploits taken away. If you're intending to play the game as it was intended community servers are where it's at but again not sure how console servers work.

Used to. There were never meant to be enough of them everyone could just find one except for in various testing versions of the game, it's a survival game not a military shooter game. I'm on my own PC server all by myself and have seen one KA-M in a tent at the small military camps in 12 hours, as it should be. Not sure how X-box works as far as modding but PC will have modded server for for dummies who need an M4 to pew-pew away on maybe you guys will too?

Not sure if a restart fixed it or it was just slow to populate, I logged out in the military camp in Cherno before I posted. As I ran back to my barrels I saw one then two together and it finally came back up to about the levels I'd been seeing in the area.

Thanks, no mods or tweaks of any kind here, just 1:1 time, won't jump the gun on deleting my database then.

Not sure how it went for you guys, I don't seem to have any infected, going to validate both my server and client before I delete my storage files?

That's possible, I didn't think to look at that myself.

The guy who told me about it says there may be issues with using our existing DB files, I'm going to try it anyway.

In tools, where you downloaded the server files and tools. Right click "Dayz server" and you have the option.

Credit to @chambersenator, I didn't figure this one out myself, he answered my Q in the EXP thread.

Home server, the OP and I are running a server and client on our machine or another PC in our house. Yes you can, I just did.

@No One With That Name Switch your server to beta in tools just like you did your client, apparently.
