Blackheart 5.56

How is it that Dayz knows exactly what you are looking for, and makes it ridiculously hard to find, and then when you are not looking for it, it's all over the place (almost). The other day I was finding lock picks galore and now that I want one... nada. Although, looking for lock picks and found a pristine hunter backpack, so I guess it's not so bad :D

How long were they on the ground without interaction? I have quite a few improvised backpacks and as far as I can tell they are all still there, but I mess with them every day or so. Sounds like with the new exp build backpacks and guns on ground clean up a lot faster. Gonna have to prioritize my barrel inventories. Probably start using a few more tents as well. Wish the civilian tent wasn't so attention grabbing. A small military camo pup tent would be nice as well, like the ones in tent cities that are just for show.

Wolf packs - large mean Siberian type wolves would be awesome. But if we have to deal with them, we should be able to skin and quarter them, and end up with meat and a nice fur wolf pelt we can make into coats, hats, etc.

I had a fireplace the other day with rocks around it, a cooking tripod and cooking pot. Broke it all down later, including the tripod.

Hmm, so maybe all the unpacking ammo and seeds, moving mags out of barrels and backpacks and moving shit around did it then. Although it didn't seem like it. After I logged out of Dayz completely and it synced on my computer I logged back in and the lag was gone. Whatever it was, I'm just glad my camp is functional again. Gonna make a big bonfire and drink some peach moonshine. :P

Looks like the hotfix was applied to stable branch as well. I now have zero lag in my camp, and can move the trucks around with no problem. :) Correction: I have a small amount of lag still, but I can now move the two trucks that have been stuck in my camp. Barrel lids still not showing open or closed properly. Have to check on other things but I'm pretty happy I can now move the trucks!

God I hope not!

Do you have canned food and sodas in backpacks or barrels? I wonder how far down the rabbit hole we have to go. Ammo boxes, packets of seeds, canned food, canteens/water bottles, sodas, all are basically containers right? I moved all my loaded mags out of barrels and backpacks and am now unpacking ammo boxes.

So containers with items in them, inside of other containers seems to be the culprit. I wonder if full mags in containers is also causing lag. Because I have removed all full containers in containers, except loaded mags in barrels and backpacks and I still have lag and sessions lost. Gonna try moving loaded mags out of camp next and see if that helps. Or maybe just drop them on the ground in camp first and see if it makes a difference.

Also got stuck in some rocks at Karmanovka. Google fu told me to try running at the rocks and disconnect internet, which I did and it worked. By the time I got reconnected I was outside the rocks about 30 meters away.

Interesting. I hadn't cleaned out my camp of all containers in backpacks... no containers in containers but had a pot, pan and full ammo can in different backpacks spread around, 3 full barrels 1 empty barrel and some guns on the ground and lag was so so. Barrels opening or closing had lag. Didn't really want to spread my stuff out 500+ meters away, as I already got squirrely with one of my packs and it took me forever to find again. So against that backdrop I unwisely drove a truck into camp. Major lag again. Nothing in truck cargo, just camp stuff nearby. Read about shooting the tires out so it slides downhill, except I have a whole bunch of trees in the way of downhill so I thought I would try and push it out of camp with another truck. Now I have two g*dmned trucks stuck in my camp, which I have nicknamed Camp LagAlot. Sigh. Guess it's back to another server until the hotfix comes out.

That would work but let's get some Javelin missile systems spawning at NATO heli crashes. Add a little pizzazz to the game! While we're at it, once base building and barricading is in let's have some AT4-CS in game as well. Heck I'd even settle for RPG's.

The private hive I spend the most time on seems to have a decent amount of loot. Probably only about 2-4 people on at one time max, out of about 10 people I've seen on the player list. When my camp was frozen up I went to another private with 20+ other players on at the time and holy crap, I was finding way more loot. Must have to do with more people picking up stuff all over the map, thus spawning more stuff all over the map. Went back to my normal server, got my camp working again and the difference in loot is very noticeable. Although, I'm geared up enough and with enough seeds, gardening stuff, rabbit snares, fish hooks, etc. that I don't really ever need to go into a town again. Until the next wipe that is. Kind of at loose ends as to want to do now. Think maybe I will start hunting for the elusive boar, so I can make a leather improvised backpack.

Pristine Jerry can despawned in front of me while I was fiddling with some other stuff. Pristine car battery despawned within like 15 minutes while I was fiddling with stuff around camp. Gonna have to stop fiddling so much!

I think containers in containers might be an issue, and possibly items in containers. Had deer steaks in a frying pan in a frying pan, and Cmags in a pot. Took everything out of containers and got control of my toon back. Went from 1 fps to average of 15fps. No problem moving or interacting. Got back to my camp, froze and lost session again. Gonna see what other containers I have with items in them, or at least containers in containers. Maybe try and move that tire out of camp as well.

No stacked clothes, or clothes with items inside. Going to log back on to that toon and see if I have any containers in my backpack and if so, if getting rid of them helps.

So, I am well over a kilometer away from my camp and still have 1 fps. Must be something with the client as well, as I'm taking the lag with me? Gonna have to play on a different server for a while.

Well I finally got my camp more or less manageable, lag not horribly bad with 3 barrels, some backpacks and guns on the ground, and other stuff stashed about 300 meters away. Then I tried to bring a truck into camp. Didn't even make it in to camp, truck rolled over on a hill nearby. Took a wheel to stash as a spare (incurable horder disorder), got into camp, stashed the wheel in a tree and that's when all lag hell broke loose. 1 fps, frozen screen, Sessions lost, relog and stuck at Please Wait screen, relog and got 1-6 fps, toon frozen, then running, then frozen. Appeared that while I am seeing toon as frozen, the game is still registering him as running, as when he finally breaks free from lag again he is often 200 meters away or more. I was frozen in a forest, then after lag stopped was down by a road and some houses. Truck was probably about 250 meters from camp. Wheel dropped right in camp. Private server which is still restarting every couple of hours. Hopefully the truck is upright again and I can move it away, if somebody else hasn't already. The wheel in camp was definitely not a good idea, hopefully I can move that, or even better would be the devs issuing a hotfix on Wed.

Also hope they sort out cooked meat and fish making you sick. Have a ton of steak to throw on the BBQ but don't really want to get sick. Have charcoal tabs though so I probably will anyway just to have something to do. Speaking of which seems like we should be able to make our own charcoal for use in fires or when sick. I'm sure everyone on here, including the devs have burned wood fires at some point, and ended up with leftover charcoal bits, right?

Two barrels and a few backpacks seems to be the key to less camp lag. After I cleared out all backpacks that had containers, and moved a few guns from the ground my first two barrels functioned pretty well. After adding a third barrel (even empty) it seemed to induce lag again. Main thing is barrel lids not showing open or closed icon (barrel open, close it and it still looks open, but menu gives option to open). filled third barrel up no issues other than that. Leaving area to tend garden 500 meters away and upon return barrel lids show proper state. Have not Lost session again yet. Hopefully they will sort out whatever is causing the issue. I like having a metric ton of stuff in one place.

Holy smokes, camp got ridiculously bad lag, almost couldn't clean it out, kept getting Session lost. Finally moved enough improvised backpacks, one SPOSN and a few weapons on the ground far enough away from camp that I can now access the barrels without lag. Was feeling pretty happy with that achievement.... and then got Session lost again, while far from camp. :( This is really cramping my hording style. Also, I can't find one of the first improvised backpacks I moved, before I settled on another cluster of trees. Doh! :blush:

My camp is still laggy as hell but I only moved the improvised backpacks (with containers) to nearby trees. Guess I'll have to drag them a good several hundred meters away to know for sure. Damn Dayz is not letting me be Lazy!

Have to check that when I get back to camp. Think I had containers (pots and pans) in the improvised backpacks. Good catch if that's the culprit! :beans:

I had the dreaded camp lag a little earlier. Two full barrels, two improvised backpacks, one sposn, and a few rifles on the ground. Slow laggy response and barrels didn't want to open. Lost session then tried moving the improvised packs to surrounding trees, seemed to help a little bit. How long does it take to tan cow pelts? Ran across another herd doing laps above Stary Sabor, up the hill and back down again. Emptied out a barrel, added water, lime and 3 pelts, closed lid and clicked option to tan pelts. Now all I can do is View contents and Inspect. Don't tell me DayZ is suddenly going for realism and it's going to take a week? Or did I screw something up? :o
