I've tried clearing mac address, hard rebooting, uninstalling/reinstalling, 2 different mics and 2 different controllers... all with no luck I've got an open nat as well.

As the title says... No I'm not in party chat and yes , I'm pressing/holding down on the dpad. The talk icon comes up but no one can hear me. Tested with multiple friends, mic works fine in other games and party chat... Any ideas?

Tires can be repaired and have been able to for some time now...

Given the current state of vehicles and their propensity to lag into static objects, this is long overdue...

Negative ghost rider, its compatible with both. https://www.plantronics.com/us/en/product/rig-500-pro-hx

This is my headset. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/plantronics-rig-500-pro-hs-wired-gaming-headset-for-playstation-4-black/6258497.p?skuId=6258497&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=1131&ref=212&loc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1268661&ds_rl=1269132&gclid=Cj0KCQiAl5zwBRCTARIsAIrukdNUvjqK3HEtPpDAjakDMniGr9HX-SicWjwHKlgFOaain1kR8-kF7HkaAs07EALw_wcB I've tried 3 different servers, 3 different characters all with no luck.

Yeah, everyone else's game chat works fine.

Clearing mac address and uninstalling/reinstalling did not help.

Does anyone know if I uninstall/reinstall, will my characters still be saved?

Dude, awesomezombi gave you straight up false info... 1. Loot refreshes based on if there is A) an item in the loot spawn and B) proximity of player(s) to that loot spawn. Each item has a timer on it as well as to how long it will be there before it despawned, different types of items gave different values ranging from 15 minutes to several hours. Server resets in no way "refresh" loot. 2. Admins have no control over loot spawns on console. 3. Doors will generally be closed upon a reset, but in my experience it is largely randomized. 10% or so of doors can still be open, I've seen it happen on freshly wiped servers. 4. In my experience you have a 90%+ chance of being killed on sight in public servers.

I just cant do it anymore...

Nice try...

Enlighten me then as to what to call the above...

U know its persistence is different than barrels/crates right?

Has anyone else experienced this? It seems to be happening more frequently lately for me. Cant seem to figure what could be causing or contributing to it. It happens on foot and in cars. Really sucks when it happens while driving because as you could imagine.. ruined car and sometimes death...

A lack of weapons isn't always attributable to duping. On any server there will reach a point when the loot economy becomes strained by weapons in persistent stashes. Once a server is a week old after a wipe, your chances of finding a spawned AR are virtually nil. People look for weapons in dayz, at a certain point all those weapons will have been found and put in stashes. Duping can exacerbate this but it isn't the main cause for a lack if weapons. The higher tier weapons are meant to be rare and on any established server this will certainly be the case. Just because you make a trip to NWAF or Tisy doesn't mean you're going to get an AR. At this point, you need to play the game with what you can find. Whether it's a mosin, sks or shotgun. Alter your tactics based on the weapons you have and dont put yourself in a situation where your weapons or position will put you at a disadvantage. Look for bases and stashes, this will give you a better return on finding weapons than going to military bases. TLDR: look for bases and stashes to get guns instead of complaining that they are not spawning at military bases.

If the car has dark smoke coming from the engine, its fucked and will despawn.

I am wondering because 5+ people have been searching on a private server (non wiped) and haven't found any if the new items. One of them wiped his personal 10 man server and found the glock in the cherno police station in minutes. Is a wipe necessary for the new loot?

I am literally speechless. If you deplete your stamina, it wont regenerate unless you drop a heavy item... How on earth did they roll this patch out? Is there any internal testing done at all? It took me 30 seconds to notice this...

So as far as I can tell, if you have less than 20ish% percent on your stamina bar and you deplete it, your stamina will not regen until you drop a heavy item and pick it back up.

Yeah, stamina regen is kind of a big deal.

There's alot hinging on this update for a large portion of the playerbase...
