Hi, I'm likely one of the very few people using a controller on DayZ, possibly even the only person doing this since there are so many controls and it takes a lot of time to map them: I'd like to send my mapping and suggest some changes from it that I'm unable to alter, this is specifically for the PS4 controller and they could even be used on the PS4 platform... I've had major success with most basic functions in game apart from a few things - the format I have does include a few more features than the current model support from what I know - There is no official map of the controls already provided though to tell exactly. Due to DS4 (PS4 controller) having more buttons than the Xbow One controller as far as I know... I have a bias for towards the DS4 controller in terms of mapping the controls that the Xbow One controller (or older models - sony too) wouldn't be able to fit - all I can say to this - if you want to play DayZ on PC - PS4 controller is realistically the way to go because there are too many buttons, you need as many as possible and especially to compete with keyboard gamers. Before I list the controls: [SC] = Scan Code, using DS4windows "scan-code" is an option to override the game's controls function. (works sometimes but other controls aren't so simple since [SC] can conflict with [SC] here and there.) [AA] = Already assigned via the current controller support. ✕ = R [SC] (cock the firearm) - this is manageable but would prefer something more practical... honestly for controller... tapping R1 (shoot/melee) again would be better here (so R1 is both shoot and cocking - freeing this button) - the aim moves slightly off with the analogue naturally while moving the thumb (the index finger can't press the 4 picture keys comfortably - the thumb will be needed on R3 while aiming) - this gives none-controller players an advantage over the controller player - this is also true with having to stand-still after each cocking action. ◎ = crouch (tap), prone (hold) & stand (tap/hold) ([AA] but moved from X). (the way it currently is except moved from ✕ to here on the current controller support) ☐ = action (basically the F key), and reload when there's no magazine/change empty magazine to a full magazine. [AA] - An addition feature that would be nice here is if it could be used in the start/server menu as "action" too but that's not an issue in-game. (to select stuff) △ = (hop over fences) This would feel much better if it was on X instead after adjusting the first change - but I had to put it here simply because cocking the firearm is much worse here as there's a further thumb-distance to travel). Options = Tab [SC] (I think this was already the case but after my changes it was more optimised and can't remember what collision it fixed at the time) - an issue to point out here is that I can't search while running, I believe that's what I tried to change but it didn't work... this is a problem with the left-analogue for running where I attempted to assign WASP with scan-codes but that hadn't worked. Share = Back [AA] basically what it is already and again, same as the ☐ feature in the start/server menu, this could also be a "back-out" feature despite not an in-game issue. ↑ = scoll-up [AA] - this I tried to also simultaneously assign "zero in" and failed. ↓ = scroll-down [AA] - likewise I tried to also assign "zero out" but failed. (DS4's "Special Actions" doesn't work or maybe the keys collide when I tried to make the control also do another button simultaneously) ← = 1 [SC] - hotkey, It would be better if ← and → allowed you to select through each hot-key through a wheel mode and then hit with say △ to select which one... specifically; ← for left and → for 2 right. Hold △ could also be unequipped any held items if an item is held. Holding △ when nothing is held could be "1" by default also. → = 2 [SC] - hotkey again. PS = Guide (just the controller button to turn it off and on... standard) L1 = Right Mouse Button (aim) R1 = Left Mouse Button (shoot/melee) L2 = Left Bumper (zoom in - unsure what I re-arranged this from... but fits with aim (L1) much better for me) R2 = Space [SC] - raise/lower weapon (goes hand in hand with preparing to shoot/integrating well as a similar action to R1 in the sense of engagement whether that be lower or raise weapon) L3 button = Sprint (no change) - please remove the tilt while aiming here though... I would far rather sprint 100% and I assigned a tilt to the tilt controls. (I couldn't manually change this - removing the tilt.) R3 button = 3rd person - please remove tilt here too - if it instead hit 3rd person ready for when I begin to un-aim... this would be a massive hand in combat sharing what PC users have access to. (I couldn't manually change this either - with the tilt.) L3 analogue = left stick (movement) [AA] - much preferably, It would be better if this was like the keyboard to reduce the motion-sickness feeling that occurs, basically on keyboard you can hold down "W and A" or "W and D" the camera is fixed on the same position on keyboard but with controller you're forced to look where you angle the control and this can be very sickly after a while. R3 analogue = right stick (look around) [AA] - This could use a slight sensitivity reduction when aiming... anywhere closer to other PS3/PS4 games... not too much so you're disadvantaged in a fight but at the moment - if I'm going to shoot at a very long range I shimmy rather than tilt the analogue... this really needs a look into - probably the best suggestion is - when you "zoom in [L2]" while aiming... sensitivity of aim is reduced a tad more. But, with controller... a very slight movement from the center usually did a minuscule of movement... and this rapidly increased with further movement - every tilt-angle counted but I'm not getting that feeling with the current support. Left Touch = K (SC) - I assigned K to double-cap-lock so I could speak in-game... there's external issues to the game though... in-game doesn't sync with the mic I selected on windows (i.e. just the keyboard mic)... in-game it auto-picks the controller microphone/headphone no matter what and I don't use headphones with my controller. If there's anyway to change this, this is a huge help as double-clicking cap-lock or k while on controller isn't practical on the move. Right Touch = Multiply (SC) which is assigned to "Fix Camera (double-tap-alt normally)"... one major request for this and even "Left Touch" is to remove the mouse (on mouse-pad) on the PS4 controller outside of inventory - it unfocuses your view which can be somewhat needed to be kept in place at times - also within inventory... if R1 selected an item (held) and R2 deselected, L1 moves the item (after moving there and hitting L1), L2 inspected/de-inspects the item... this would make inventory possible on PS4 controller while also sharing similarity to the format in outer-world (non-inventory play) Multi-touch = ignored. Upper-touch = middle-mouse button but really ignored... this and multi-touch are pretty difficult to use in general. I've only used these in other games to open character books like games such as Arx Fatalis and the Witcher I think - they're really situational to 100% no risk scenarios and can only be barely used functions. Tilt Up - Unassigned Tilt Down - Unassigned Tilt Left - Q (scan code) - note: I removed "lock tilt" though which will be important to not get stuck in tilt. Tilt Right - E (scan code) - both work great. 100% Mouse-pad: I've already spoke about this being disabled while outside of inventory but it would be nice it it could work in the start/server menu too. Another couple suggestions for more controls are; holding the direction button (rather than tapping) for the F(number) keys... i.e.: hold ↑ while tapping ✕, ◎, ☐, △, R1 or L1 for 6 keys... hold ↓ while tapping ✕, ◎, ☐, △, R1 or L1 for 6 more keys (one of these could active walk-mode which could be disabled with sprint or holding either ↑ or ↓ as this would reactive key selection - this because there are 11 F(number) keys. For Xbow One to have tilt... L2 (zoom in) and R2 (raise weapon) could be tapped but when held this means the character tilts. I'm not sure if the 0.63 player controller covers a lot of this anyway but thought it'd be worth posting the listed issues to be included with the update in the future. So yeah in summary, a mix of fallout/call of duty/new set controls for DayZ. I hope I've done some help here aswell as fixing issues for myself in the future.

Edit: with another program (Joy2Key) I fixed the zeroing for the scopes and I fixed the running animation - I still however, can't fix the L3 tilting... months ago this used to not be a problem because I used a PS3 controller - which after heavy use you the analogues would stick anyway... but yeah.. I really would like a solution to this please devs.

I've come to see how the games doing after several months, I'm stuck in a building on the bottom floor (that's inaccessible - only the top floor is accessible) - reasonably geared, tried getting out manually and my shoes went from prestine to ruined... I sent a message in the feedback tracker... does anyone know how soon help will likely come? I asked if I could get a replacement combat boots... is the chances of this happening likely too?

I'm hoping someone could answer this, on the feedback site I can only view up till wednesday and not back to sunday, so only reason I'm asking... I'm pretty hyped to continue the game (stuck in a building bug) but dunno if I should play another game in the meantime expecting a response probs tomorrow.

My character is moved now so all good :) - Morphine and search for apple tree fast Lol.

Will this reset my bonestat too? I'm carrying morphine too but I'd pref like to use for combat situations/store some if I manage to get a tent.

I tried this... somehow my character spawned back in with a red flash, couldn't stand, shoes ruined. No indicator to what the problem is :P

It says on the weblink that the devs managed to move someone who was in a vehicle off the map back into the map... Looks like they can teleport us.

I made a post on here... https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/profile/2/... I never gave my person's location... I don't really know exactly where they are... I'm actually worried I could die of starvation but I was on the way to tisy... somewhere between the airport and there. Could be anywhere. Are you sure that's required or think I'll be okay? Cheers for the response on this though - was helpful.

0.61, The spawns got moved to the east. All the best loot is generally in the North-West with loot roots on the way east and south from there. Instead of the spawns being east, can they be moved crossways - A line starting from South-West to North East and perhaps the South-East could be like a Tisy (Skalisty Island could be turned into a gold-mine with nice stuff on the way) - The reason being for this is to reduce great lengths of trying to find your friends on the map since you'll then mostly be central when you spawn. Both ends of the map (tisy and skalisty could spawn each a separate very rare item or 2 prolonging the will of living with the character - as you can have a great time playing after reaching both ends of the map.)

Already made a thread somewhere on why I'm not buying another Bohemia game. I'll never buy another one for sure if they don't get their act together. I already suspected all these poor decisions were a marketing tactic to make people purchase Arma 3. This seems like the most legitimate reason why they made such an awful game here. No way am I giving them anymore money. "Be part of the development"... more like get the most whiny babies trying to tell you Bohemia is right despite no one buys the bull. If they want to make money they have to earn it like everyone else and do what they promised. It's their reputation on the line - heck if they put just as much effort as you guys do trying to derail anyone who comes here and did the mod seperately later after - the development would have probably been finished by 2016.

Don't get butt-hurt. If you don't like it, delete your comment and move on. Don't be a little bitch :0

Got to love the stupidity of thinking most people around you are stupid yet failing to realise that supporting a mod generally means: improve graphics, improve interface, prevent hacking, remove bugs & add modding support... Not add random content that can be done a mod separately later. Those (the most important factors) weren't of first concern... no wonder people weren't happy. And no, people didn't react with same with other beta's... ie; minecraft... because there was no time-wasting... since they came up with the idea and stayed true to it you can tell it's fine. But when it's a company that's already off it's feet, I suppose it doesn't care as much and is willing to abuse people's time.

I can't find any recent info on this. Graphics overhaul is done for the most part. Interface, bugs, Interface (the super slow aim and de-aim + your character holds the gun like he has a spider on his shoulder).... Just died to a camper because I had lower ping trying to storm him after waiting 30 minutes... I had a .22 sporter with no mag and he had an automatic which got pretty established when he sprayed and prayed missing emptying a whole mag... there's no honour in this game and the interface doesn't help. I don't know if player controller fixes this or adds support for a game controller (ps4/xbox) etc. An online game really needs full controller support... you can move more accurately with a mouse because you control the movement speed with how far you drag - not the case with unsupported analogue... it's one movement speed no matter how lightly or how far you tug the analogue. (Only fine for solo play games) Had my gun aiming at his shoulder... clicked fire when I heard his shot (cuz knew it was too soon, had to pray for neck shot and using the controller really sucks right now and I want to practice.) He wasn't positioned to shoot my upper body but I still die and the shot didn't fire. I actually had a real chance of winning there with him dead and me with broken legs bleeding.

I never 360 no scoped... G3, MP5, M249, W1200, M21... The difficult guns... I'd use skill... of all the problems COD may have had... it faired much better than this game lol. If you couldn't kill the wannabe no-scopers then I can see why you hated cod. I have friends in other countries... ping doesn't give a huge advantage unless it's clunky mechanics combined with camping (camping you just got to get the cross hair lined with where they're aiming and the non-clunky mechanics follow). I waited outside in the rain with zombies for 30 mins while he hid in a building. There's no real incentive to live when you're a fresh-spawn beginning in the communist east-side of the map who died finding all the DayZ bugs.

Look at Steam's purchase page... really not a good idea to encourage devs to ignore those thumbs down.

And the sway blocking your vision... far from justifiable.

Talking 1-3 meters, yeah the recoil would take getting used to - never made my self out to be a marksman

Probably because you don't have a reason then?

My mental state - judging by how he shot at me was fully engaged to kill the guy... doing the world of DayZ a favour. I've fired training BB guns very accurately from early on... I missed a few shots then it's always bang on (I'm not from a gun country)... I had the full element of surprise on him due to patiences and that's like claiming blitzkrieg strategy is null. I was in the top 10 clans on COD4 at a point when I was younger... I know how to shoot on video games - anyone can shoot a .22 or low cal rifle fairly well at 1-3 meters at someone. I don't shoot unless it's a critical hit. I clicked the R1 later than him only because the lack of controller support where I'd have got a pin-point on his head sooner. - Also done paint-balling and shot people 40 meters away (they're very innacurate)... 20 meters I completely painted an opponents gun (I was young - touche on that move) and that was in a little crevice and technically irl he'd have damaged his gun so they more abused the system. Still I learned from it. There has been official dates so it's not as simple as "Game'll be done when it's done". You want someone to not kill you, reward them for dealing with your zombie for you or try talking. Any other game that guy was dead. I had the headshot if he were crouching... I'll aim down if he's prone and he'd be unable to line a critical hit if I move forward. Didn't have loads of gear either.

In real life.... there is practically no sway with a gun unless you're shaking with fear. The problem is how you handle the kick which adjusts where the shot landed. 1st shot should be dead accurate and then they should start shacking fast when you spam fire or go onto automatic for too long. Double-tapping would be hard in real life... SAS/Body guards had to train constantly for that. I just don't see why the first shot is made to be very impracticable.

You can't PvP fairly in 0.61... I like PvP and PvE but the latter really throws me off the game when they made it the only option. I saw a vids of people getting makerov's no problem when they spawned. That's PvP - A crap weapon that can kill so you can defend yourself or attempt to loot.

I had a similar problem just earlier - I could only place a tent in the opposite direction from where I wanted... I had one in the direction I wanted a week ago, I moved it today thinking I could place 2 near the spot facing that same direction but then I couldn't even place the 1st tent back in it's spot. (So no tents to direction I wanted) :P Ended up throwing a tent underground too after multiple attempts and missing that F key.

I had a brainwave here, a current problem arises where, once a base has it's ammo looted, it's basically all gone (undesirable) for 24 hours apart from one or two boxes if you're lucky enough. This problem isn't as big for weapons because you can generally only carry 2 weapons meaning the first looter can't grab all. Magazines aren't as big as a problem as ammo I think but they fair a little harder than their weapon sometimes. The solution I think is to make the majority of ammunition spawn on zombies; - maybe with a 10% chance that it spawns in a magazine. I realise zombies have a chance to spawn ammo as it is, but I was thinking... enough to suite a player if they do loot-run and wasn't as fast as other players and maybe counter-balance this with some less ammo spawning at bases. Police Zombies: Civilian ammo or mag with ammo (high chance) Army Zombies: Military ammo or mag with ammo (high chance) There could also be an increase level of how many of these zombies spawn aswell - whatever works best. Maybe there could be a similar looting system with doctors/fireman etc. (ie: morphines on nurses) That way once a zombie is killed... it respawns ammo for the next player.

I've seen this a lot... But just yesterday I found an AKM with 6 mags lying around with all ammo inside. No Bullshit, I would like to see a tweak on the distribution system if it's possible... Instead, maybe somehow make it work so I instead found an AK74 and AKM both with a few mags each. With civilian weapons it seems like you can at best - find a gun with a mag and that same gun lying around (which isn't much help). The problem with too much of the same ammo spawned in one area - it means people are gonna loot the all ammo in that area. :P
