As of writing this I have been locked in database 5 times. I have been able too use 2 small work arounds to play again. First and easiest which has worked in 1 or 2 tries. Having a friend join server then sending a party invite to game has gotten me in without any issues. 2nd is clearing your MAC address in settings nd restarting Xbox. I have only tested these with a Xbox one X/S models. for the second u may need to keep rejoining the same server a few times but my group has been using these 2 methods and have played all weekend Hope it helps!

I get this and yes this can happen anytime u exit a server abruptly and rejoin within a small window. But regardless it has no direct reference for server hoping,duping or whatever. it's for someone who paid for a game that can not play it.

getting kicked from server restarts nd rejoining is sever hopping? is rejoining when the game crashes server hoping to? Go complain somewhere else this was a small piece of help 4anyone with this issue which the Devs are trying to fix. not people server hopping.

Bruh, I had the issue 5 times over weekend I never said in a row, also I never once said it happened too my squad 5 times I said we played all weekend read first then repost

Let start with anything I'm saying to you is a personal opinion only as person who owned this game on Xbox and PC. And b4 anyone says yes this was my choice to purchase into an alpha game/preview. This game has been on a very unstable road since long b4 DeanHall left this project. Most faults and bugs have been here since launching it. Now I understand making a game is not an easy task but when you charge people to buy your game to be your bug testers then you have allocated yourself more man power to solve issues or bugs which should reduce your time frame on building a stable useable product now we are 5yrs down the road and things are slightly better then they were. Now as game developer your JOB is supply a ready usable product in proper time frames. Now before you fanboys and defenders of BI attack me or call me wrong please read what I have to say then make your own judgements as all I'm doing is validating my own opinion. 1.Long time in development hell. This is the worst all issue a team with hundreds of people reporting and testing bugs for a game stolen from a mod does not take 5yrs to finish. Similar games and projects that had more in there games out less time have managed to do this yet Bi can't finish PC let alone port a product over. 2. Lack of accountability. The refusal by this company on admitting they can't finish this game or even release the product as promised. Please see there recent status report stating there going to have no items moving into 1.0 this not the product we were sold. 3. Lack of openness or communication. This kinda under accountability as well but didn't want it all to be jumbled up. You post your fuckin info on Twitter more then your own forums, i dont wanna go on a social media website to to get information. you answer select people on there only the ones who praise you for all your hard work. WTF hard work has this company done this is a game stolen from a mod that they can't even complete or make stable. This game is heading in the same direction as H1Z1s survival game. They will release and then state due to lack of funds or trying to create something they clearly couldn't dayZ will b closing down. This post will not have acknowledgement from the dev team or even there fake community leader @Baty Alquawen. I have returned my Xbox copy. I was approved yesterday anyone else wondering how to do this feel free to reach out and I'll explain how you can get yours always well. In closing I had the highest of hopes for this game I purchased on PC at launch and got for my Xbox also at launch and I'm sadden to see we will never get the game that was promised. I truly hope a real company picks this game up so it can have a bright future

I'll respect that. Any ignorance I've shown to any of you I apologize

First point I own it on PC and Xbox, returned Xbox so by logic I still own it on PC. Ps.. if your read the first line of my comment you would know that.(but your clearly can't read just a typical fanboy hence your name) 2nd I'm sorry my sentence was too poorly rewritten for you but you can't seem to read so maybe that's not my fault :)

Your statement lacks any forum of sound logic? Because I have owned a game 5yrs in development hell and pissed they haven't done anything means I don't have a life? Where do those 2 things intersect? By that logic your posting in response too me so can't I say the same for you can I not get some friends, maybe don't post on forum, go breathe fresh air , go post on reddit see how I took your statement and said the same things and they have no connection

Another defender who can't read ! As I stated right at the start. the words are my opinion are right there. but the keyboard warriors r out without reading a post to defend a company they are just a consumer of. seeing as I'm a consumer of there product as well. I'm more then within the bounds to make any complaints or opinions based on how they handle the product they make im using/purchased

Hello forum warrior here! You clearly didn't read my post. And just interjected your 2cents to defend the game. I'm glad you saw your friend playing and are new to the party! Those of us who have waited and been here for an unfinished product with false promises are just tired of it. Also since your new take a gander at the post I linked :)

I play plenty of other games sir :) . If we all waited on this company we would die of old age . As I've stated I've owned since PC release so 5years.that is a lot of waiting and taking breaks. 43 was a far better state then this broken mess. The amount of content and lies/promises made would b why it's dying. Also you know why there rushing a 1.0 deadline? To put a shit game on PS4 cause they need more money Sony doesn't have preview program like Xbox. So they need to use Beta or 1.0 to get it over there watch Q1 2019 it will b in There store

If this time frame is real I'd throw a party. But ultimately this will boil down too you guy releasing a statement less then a month away saying due to unforseen bugs 1.0 won't launch till mid 2019. This has been the case with your company since back in patch .41 when duping was still very popular.

So this post isn't here to attack BI it's to inform you as the community how we can start forcing change on games in "preview or early access". This is far to much a case with games anymore company's are slapping early access on saying please expect bugs or it not too work at all. Which is just horseshit flat out were paying the devs half the cost to be glorified bug testers. Now this can be a good thing don't get me wrong as we get our hands on products b4 others but the downside is paying to do a company's work for them with no reward or clear direction of the issues being worked on by the development team. Now that my rant is over we can get my main point forcing change on preview or early access. We tend to run to this forum and complain it's broke it doesn't work which what you paid 35$ to due test there game for bugs. but when creators see this they tend to go into hiding until there internal team has time to focus on an issue they missed . Now that great but when the community has no clear definition of what's being done to fix it there's more of an issue. Now dayZ has been plagued by this since PC launch then knowing there was an incomplete product they went and launch a whole other game right b4 releasing DayZ to the Xbox game preview which proves money talks so as the people paying for there products and working on there testing the developers need to be held accountable for this and the way to due that is take there money away request a refund it's that simple even if you have had the game since launch all you need to due is ask to speak with someone from microsoft explain to them the development team isn't holding true to there values they arnt being open or communicating with there plans to get there product to an acceptable standards. If Microsoft sees a trend or BI or whatever developer is making the game there going to be forced to remove the production till it can be brought up to acceptable standards.

I think i caught 2 spelling mistakes in this post sorry. ill go pretty it up in a few moments on a phone.

This may be how they handle things but this doesn't have anything to do with how there addressing bugs or any content for Xbox my point is for them be clear and open. Im glad they want push things from PC to xbox great but that's a port over this will not account for bugs that will plague a game port over as opposed to a game made for certain console. Not to compare Apple's to oranges but take one of biggest let downs for direct port over/ preview game pubg. Both games launch with bugs that cripple game since start , both games have had critical lack of openness with there communities causing backlash in angry fans. both have made a direct port to console which has caused critical game breaking features.both have made promises Which they couldn't keep. Which has now proved taking a game porting to a new console doesn't work unless your a AAA game developer and can allocate resources for it. So bringing us back around to the start your telling me PC is focus and I'll even agree to understand that to a point but your telling me your company now has launched a port over which you don't have a focus to support fully until you get the PC fixed or lets be nice and say working while launching a new game "vigor I'm looking at you" but you don't have resources to have your development team give status updates about your plans to fix bugs ?

I'm still just sitting here waiting for news about what there "testing or fixing" but don't forget to check Twitter why do we have forums if u feel the need too tell us to go check a social media platform for information this is your website put the information in black white right here not somewhere your trying to glorify the PR that u need

This kinda adds too my point I saw marginal to nothing about Xbox other then the hit box issue sadly . How about the how the phantom bullets in magazines? How about the server integrity? Players stuck in database? The invisible silhouette of players appearing as a little ball, even any information on content being added to the game just general QOL things for us console players to look forward too. Why even mention Xbox if you have nothing to share other then we know hit box is bad then your right back to PC info I'm a console player I don't care about PC

And btw I take nothing away from BI I love dayZ's concept since it was taken from arma mod. I believe it can and someday will be a good product but 5 plus years of sitting in alpha so they can avoid the PR shit storm. if it was a full game released the way it was let's face it dayZ would have never made past 3months so this was placed to give the consumer knowledge how to return a game preview if there truly unhappy with what was purchased

So to set something's straight anyone telling me look at what you buy or getting into I can direct you too my steam page where I bought dayZ(the day it came out nd have 2k hrs) ark pubg or any other preview game not to mention the the copies on my Xbox account so I'm very familiar with how a preview works. Now the ones that posting the Microsoft terms of service for returns I'm glad you believe what an automated system can do I'm assuming you never worked a retail environment where directly speaking with a human gets u a lot further then looking at link or online system .But regardless we all have our ways of handling things. My hope was the mods who patrol the forums could let dev know people are frustrated nd feel they need better communication or clear direction of there product. if not the ones u see on the forum who r complaining or getting frustrated would use my suggestion and if enough people did it, this would light a fire under the devs asses for the Xbox side of things.

I dnt believe vest is unless it's only heli spawns but that I know high cap and assault are only vests that hold things atm

Hello I've been playing the game preview since launch and know we have all been plagued with of the same bugs this more of help too on some solutions I found to fix them.First this isn't a post to come bitch about issues for a game in preview this is a topic I'm making to try and help people solve issues there having from solutions I've found 1.Shooting blank rounds - this is a tricky one as my solution works 8 out of 10 times when shooting a rifle or any gun you can here the rounds from the gun but no amount of ammo fired lands. from what I can tell the game isn't registering the bullet in the mag what has fixes this is placing gun on ground emptying mag moving 2feet away or else it tries to reload the same mag emptying mag and filling all but 1 round it seems to clear the jam. 2. Character won't stand up and move rubber bands around but crouching seems to have charecter sprinting at super speed. This is a simple relog issue. 3. Items disappearing this I have nothing on it just seems going into a server and back out too fast seems to duplicate certain items and replace them with another item in your bag mainly it seems to duplicate knifes and mags for me and remove food or matches or other utility items. 4. Hand clipping into your gun on jumping . This one speaks for it's self if u jump while scoping your gun clips into your hand. I've found either a relog or repeating same process fixes this now the upside to this if u do the same thing with the compass I found it makes the compass readable actually 5. Compass issues. This one seems to be more to due with character model interfering with the compass I've found if u stand in a door and look over your shoulder you can read the compass a little bit enough to find out where at least 2 directions are anyway lol. 6. Character locked in database. If you get this issue simple fix is to click home button on the dayZ game app manage game and add-ons locate the part that says saved info and delete it this clears the character u have stuck in que without deleting game it's self Again just something's that have worked for me with some known issues. feel free too add anything you guys have found again I know this a game preview regardless of long the game has been being made let's not make this you hating on the game for the bugs enjoy it for what it is and can become

The compass issue is when u open compass u can't see the directions because it sits in front of the player model the shadow pointing northwest would deff be great way for new players to get there bearings though

I mean I guesd u can do that 2lol . Or take the 2mins too delete saved info either way works I guess

I don't believe the attachment is. only the vest atm there only found at heli crash if im correct the only vest we have are Assault vest High capacity vest Ballistic vest, police vest and press vest I know the smerch bag is in game unsure if the attachment is though

Hello, long time dayZ player firstly I'd like too say this isn't a post ment bash Devs as i love the core mechanics of the game as it is. but I feel like the Xbox side is sitting in the dark about updates what's too come how the devs are fixing bugs nd issues. And b4 anyone says it yes I know they put information on Twitter but that's not clear definition on there over all plan for this game or whats comming can we have a form section made about features to come or just an update of what the dev team is working on for us
