Barbed wire still does not work for me on either the fence, gate or ground level of watchtowers, hope this can be fixed soon.

Yes it does not work on this EXP patch 1.03.151.511, which is this topic we are talking in.

New EXP patch.

Yes the code did remain the same for me last patch, I just tried again on the new patch and its does indeed seem that the combination no longer works, also I can no longer add the lock to the gate anymore, same for both lock types, sigh.

The 4 code lock is working for me even after restart it remained locked,.. the buildings, houses, other doors and gates dont remain locked after restart even when its stated to do so in the serverDZ file.

Its quite hard for me to find the disassemble icon to remove a part, say I made a wooden upper wall and needed it to be metal while I was in the process of building a watchtower and for the life of me I couldnt remove it to replace with a metal one, this was 2nd floor so I couldnt destroy from the otherside, and yes no damage from barbedwire either.

Does barbed wire actually deploy on gates/fences/watchtowers for anyone?, when i add to any of these it just sits on the ground coiled up. Also if I was to deploy it normally on a 'very' level surface my character can move through it and doesnt get blocked or take any damage. Will be testing the "attach" feature to see if I can make one long piece (if this is implemented I did have the option to).

Ok I have basebuilding working... seems the pickaxe is bugged. Really need some protection from falling off the watchtower stairs side as its really easy to fall from there, Placement of basebuilding items should be easier to do,.. ground has to be so level for it to place down its silly, Gates get bugged sometimes and cannot move through them, my work around was place camo net on it and remove or vice versa if it has one already, Buildings doors and gates still dont stay locked after a restart, really want that to work, I see where the devs are going with the night speckles but it really kills my eyes with the starry white static, at least minimize this effect please, liking the weapon melee so far, havnt tried a stab with bayonet yet and would love a stealthy throat slice takedown kill from behind with a knife kinda thing would make people really watch their back and back into corners regularly, that would really make DayZ fun again.

Before I even test this version IS base building functional??, Nobody answered me on the last patch discussion, so maybe someone can verify it is working?? also,.. Regarding that, I think BEC can have a name not allowed rule or ban that name forcing people to change it before joining server, I havnt tried this yet, and/or direct players on how to change their name by going into Documents\DayZ\USERNAME_settings.DayZProfile and adding the line,.. playerName="NAME_YOU_WANT_TO_USE"; and save it then you are known in-game by that name no matter what server you join. Devs should of sorted this out by now, Its only a matter of making character selection menu add the given names you set for each character eg.. PlayerName1""; PlayerName2""; setting in the settings.DayZProfile config, If we all ban the name survivor* on our servers maybe then they will act promptly to correct this.

Can anyone confirm this? I need to know if its just me or the whole exp version. Also wearing gasmask and scoping with pso1 on svd results in clipping and blocking scope view.

Just giving this a run through,.. is the base building broken? I cant build a fence/gate or watchtower, All I can do is set the placement, then add logs and thats it I cant do anything else, unless Im missing something here?

I understand completely, I really do, I only have what I have because I never let go of the determination for it, Yes it maybe stressful, but such is life, I learnt to do many things myself and saved a small fortune that I didnt really have to start off with, I have a family with 3 children a shit tonne of bills and well no mortgage and I barely make ends meet on a weekly basis but I never spent anywhere near 5k for my PC, back in 2014 when I built it I only spent maybe 2k if that on it over a period of 8 months or so to get all the bits and pieces and built it myself over a period of a week or so in my free time, anything is possible when you set your mind to it, Thats what Ive learnt, and a small army will make it their mission to keep you from thinking for yourself as long as you pay them to do it cos in their minds you are only the drone ant of sorts and they want you to do as they say and pay cos they "know" better, Thats how bad the world is now even though their is lots of good left in it still, In essence I frown on consoles today as it distracts and addicts the shit out of young peoples minds, and they grow up that way always being distracted from the real world and in their own world at 30yo with parents that are still too busy to spend time with them, I see it all the time, not to mention how people are with smart phones... omfg, which is why I dont own one. There are not enough pages on the internet to type it all out as it never ending, infinite, But I guarantee you their will be a troll for every word we type for them to comment on but we might of just made their day. Do what you gotta do but do it wisely I say.

Wow voodoo cards.. what did you play duke nukem and doom? 5k these days will get you a hella beast of a PC that will last 5-10yrs easy when looked after and still play games better then a console, the gaming industry is making the games using beast PC's primarily for a younger generation teens and younger, Ive had all consoles up to xbox one and ps4, started with ataris, lynx etc and super nes, segas, sony ps, i was just a kid then and now I run a beefy PC that is well getting old 5+yrs but still plays games sweet like Star Citizen eg.. running a gtx1080 and 16gb ddr3, trust me I only have pity because adults on consoles are missing out or they just cant be bothered, either way if they wish to be trapped or held down by minority tech its each to their own, I just leave consoles to young children really as they cant build a PC thats all, though it wont be quite the same playing with a keyboard and mouse on a console,.. ugh that just dont feel right, like watching an animal take a shit kinda weird.

Definately true, there were soo many people still playing and at the same time complaining about its malfunction, this was the peak time I saw this game played the most, when everyone almost, was complaining but playing onward, when lada's would randomly shoot hundreds of meters upwards if you so much as tapped it with your foot... then watching where it was going to land so as to make sure you were not near it, ahh the DayZ days..

Im sorry to hurt your console feelings and yes intelligence points for noticing I posted in the wrong section, but still my comments stand true for either platform, So my post is still valid, this game is meant to be played on a PC with the many keybindings it has, not squashed down into maybe 10 keybinds overlapping for the controller, maybe you should of spent your money on a PC and not a console?, I "seen the light" years ago and left console to the children, I pity those who are not children and are still mentally trapped by the notion consoles rein supreme over PC, as my children left them also when they turned 15yo... here is where the conversation forwards for the game, Creative criticism is the only way to ensure even and liberal understanding and action.

Haa yea....... dont quit your day job now. XD

From my perspective it feels like its dying indeed, when you have 50+ people you met in Dayz on your friends list and each of them now no longer play much if at all it makes you wonder how many others have this same symptom also, its like the xmas tree effect if you know what I mean, I have watched this game evolve you might say from the staff side to the in game changes and such like the engine coding period which is where I noticed the decline in player base when it was buggy af nothing new and a few minor tweaks here and there, I think thats the era in which players lost all interest, Im a dedicated player will stick with the game till its dying minute and will also watch it grow up like my children have, from rigged twitch streams and the stupid branding of hype train etc.. it makes the game look like a phase in which will soon be over type feel, But reality is the style of approach to popularize the game again has failed, all the devs need to do as I said in my previous post is quit with the ignorance and denial and not just crap on about how they hear what the players are saying in acknowledgement, but actually do what we advise for play-ability aspects as its us that will be playing the game, the streamers are not actual representatives of playerbase nor should they be widely heard just because they have tones of viewers, Some streamers are just visual reviewers/critics (mostly the popular ones), anyone can speculate while watching something including their viewers, actually being immersed in the game itself is completely different, they are just doing it for the money, fame and the so-called love of the game.. oh and they are supported by unknown third parties/viewers.. cough cough.. if the devs can make changes as they have done previously with no real enthusiasm from the real players, (not known players/streamers etc..) they too can listen and change open request from us, the real players, the normal players, as I have seen with the reiteration of tab while moving, (even though its not the full revert), but they changed it back somewhat because of backlash from us, if they listen and act like this completely people will return and encourage others to play and the growing of the game will sprout once again with all the new sides with in it, Im not a fan of 12yo kids playing this game, its more for 15yo+ as I have found most of the younger children either spend hours trying to understand the game partially and asking for help from others or get a gun and shoot other players, very very rarely I have seen any of this age group actually shoot zeds or play as the game is meant to be played as broad as it can be played to me xbox porting is a cash grab to get parents to pay for the game for their 12yo children, adults who still play on console, well, thats just not cool man IMO, This game is meant to be played by PC and keyboard should be superior, So for those of us who still jump on the dev fanboy band wagon to stick up for the devs, please its not getting us or the game itself anywhere as a whole, 2015-2016 were the peak days of the game, I know as I was in the thick of it all I have met literally thousands of different players in game over that time, I really want to see actual changes/reverts as well as new changes as long as it does not hinder the previous state of gameplay, eg ruined night time etc.. So we all can play the game with the new engine etc.. and have that same feeling back when we were 1000hrs deep in gameplay.

Game has terminal cancer and is dying unless drastic changes/reverts are made, not to mention the lost cause of porting to xbox... The implemented night time anti gamma speckely nonsense is shyt, especially when playing at 3440x1440 on a 35" monitor with gtx1080... noises are over exaggerated... fluidity of gameplay and mechanics is too restrictive, stamina, encumbrance, no inventory while running etc.. I have given this game well over 3000hrs of intense gameplay since mid 0.50 ish and I am so disappointed at what it is now, from its direction before, it deviated grossly from what its meant to be, All the excuses under the sun from the devs for why this is, is just a load of crap, I stopped playing as a result of darkness being unplayable, I used to farking really enjoy the dark god dammit!, now its just a colored wash of specks and dots over my screen that farks with my eyes and I cant bear the pain of blurriness and teariness it causes as a result of it, the noises are unrealistic and makes one feel like no matter how hard you try to be quiet, they rigged the game in a way so you fail everytime, Id throw another 10k hours at this game if things were changed to reflect its former self of all the good parts it had, no bullshyt I would. I miss the game that this used to be, now it is only a empty shell of its former self, Thats why players are dropping off, Thats why many players are upset at how it is now, Devs dont sit back and wonder why cause you know why and its only denial and ignorance that is preventing you from understanding this, The game was great, but not now, The game can still redeem itself and be the game we all knew, its down to you, the devs to look past your denial's and ignorance's and return the game, rebuilt, revamped and cleaned up to represent how we felt for it before this waywardness overshadowed it. I will always play it on PC only because its primarily a PC game IMHO. We can all only hope the right decision is made on these aspects of issues I and many others have shed light on. "I stand on my own side and observe and report, for those within do not see from my perspective and should not undermine ones comments of condition on the fact."

Server crashed and when I read the crash log Im seeing an instance of a possible glitch/bug/exploit/cheat that crashes server. Log entry is as follows, [cheat] HandleInputData man=SurvivorBase<426b66e0> is cheating with cmd=Hand_Event event=HandEventForceSwap<61b10660> Class: 'DayZPlayerInventory' Function: 'Error' Stack Trace: scripts/1_Core/proto\endebug.c.44 scripts/4_World/systems\dayzplayerInventory.c.375 scripts/4_World/systems\dayzplayerinventory.c.283 This seems like the player was trying to enable debug or some type of cheat via cmd? Not exactly sure but I thought Id raise the issue here any info on it would be great I banned the person for a day just because in the log its viewed as a "cheat".

Definitely not doing that unless it can be done for the specific program only....

Just some info for you, running your server at home please take some security precautions, ONLY open ports in router needed to allow players to connect and server report to steam eg, 2302 game port and 27015 steam query TCP/UPD on both, others being open is not needed and considered a security risk. If your server is running on port 2302 then only allow that port number to be open, you dont need 2302-2308 etc to be open unless you are running many a server (stil I would set it individually anyhow), query ports you can use main ones like 27015 to 27020 again you only need one to be open per server instance. Even if you have a dynamic ip these settings wont need to be changed. To set a static Query port for your server (effective in a case of running multiple servers or just want solid settings) state in each of your ServerDZ.cfg file at the top this entry,.. eg query port can be any of your choosing as long as they are recognized as steam query ports, common ones are 27015 -27020.. //Steam Query Port SteamQueryPort=27015; That way only that server will run on that port as defined in the ServerDZ.cfg file, otherwise the server will sometime choose a random query port to report to. Always take note of what ports you have open and what ports NEED to be open, if its a server/system just to run the game server its no biggie but if you are running it from your daily machine you need to be cautious, having these settings will help keep your security and privacy along with your connection clear from unwanted or malicious activity. btw putting your system in a DMZ zone is a no go unless you dont care what is seen by the outside or are confident you have settings in place to have control on what is seen and what is not seen. Take care and good luck with game server hosting.

A little update for those who have the server crash and the restarter not restarting it because its still seen as running in task manager. A simple solution,... Add this to you starter/crash restarter script taskkill /fi "IMAGENAME eq DayZServer_x64.exe" /fi "memusage lt 1000" This will look to see if the server is using a small amount of memory indicating a crash, ie I notice when my server has the crash and has box popped up saying "DayZ has Stopped Working" it shows as using little to no memory at that time so I figured it would be a good trigger for the restarter. Devs need to apply better monitoring code in the server exe so it knows its crashed and states it in the task manager. Also made this post here

Ban them they are doing it on purpose as IMT said. 2 warnings/kicks/1 day ban with me, 3rd time they on the perm list.
