I've noticed that duct tape, sewing kits, leather kits & weapon repair kits all seem to have randomised changeable use values now. it does seem to change day to day. but now ballistic vests are fixable with leather kits and suppressors with weapon kits, so they've stepped up there game with alternative methods to fix items. Maybe the devs are tweaking these values occasionally server side to test balancing and spawn rates for all repair items. It was only a matter of time before we got a bit of dev push back after everyone and there dog were abusing the duct tape exploit, it makes it very hard to balance spawn rate and location and how effective repair items should be when everyone just starts carrying a one fix all never ending repairable ;'3

when you reload a gun you remove the empty mag first & place it in the clothing container or bag that your also grabbing the fresh magazine from. So without the 3 slots for AR mag, 2 Slots free for pistol mag in said container then you'll be blocked from changing magazine. Unless you manually remove mag in hands inventory by selecting it and holding Y to drop then reload or combine with B on a fresh mag. It has been this way since console launch & as far as i know is designed to operate as such. hopefully this helps. once we gain the ability to minimise a clothing container within the inventory without it bugging out the ability to scroll up & down so that no other picked up items accidentally fill up saved slots for fast reloads then make sure you are constantly checking freshly picked up items are blocking this function. Id advise using effective micromanagement and keeping a specific piece of clothing just for Mags & bandages, i tend to use the top piece of clothing like a vest or jacket as its the easiest to access fast in inventory for when a new item tries to c*ck block your reload. hope this helps

yep there sweet af

nice update dudes, some great QOL changes & fixes. And some great additions too. anyone got servers running yet? still no servers for me.

If you have an Elite controller I'd advise remapping LB & RB to the underside paddles, that way you can free up LB & RB for reassigning Freelook (Right thumbstick push) and maybe B (crouch) or X (pickup, interact) i've found this a lot more fluid and you'll spend far less time with your fingers of the thumbsticks and triggers. hope this helps any elite users

nice to see someone helping out a new player, this method for micromanagement can also be used within your own inventory to move objects to wherever you like from on clothing container to another (currently its bugged so you can only scroll down whilst holding A, but if you scroll past the bottom of any inventory you will return to the top) hope this helps :)

The only difference between the xbox and PC version is the addition of a Night Vision scope and a few extra melee weapons currently. Bows, Bikes , helicopter, fishing, throwing mechanic, tanning etc are now planned to be added after 1.0 release across all platforms. if you've seen such items in-game on PC you may have been watching content/stream of an Arma DayZ Mod or a DayZ SA Modded server. Hope this helps the OP.

You could download & play for an hour as a free test. Those download figures may have got included in official figure for players even without a full purchase. Hope this helps ?

Somebody doesn't get the point me thinks. And again another OG poster who whines abit toxic posting whilst being passive aggressive in 90% of there posts. There's this thing called constructive criticism but apparently in your world BI Can do no wrong. The programmes already exist with the functionality I've already stated, there not even expensive or hard to implement. Plus your attempts at humerous sarcasm whilst the majority of consumers are still unhappy with a product they've paid for is kinda gross dude, but you do you fella.

Sometimes when servers reset they mess up, is anyone else on the server? I usually wait till the next reset and then I can join againhenever it happens to me

Thought everyone was using DZSA launcher rather than the official launcher as the official ones garbage and doesn't auto download required mods for servers properly. Pretty much every DayZ streamer has been plugging it as the easiest most functional launcher. Might wanna give that a try dude. Hope this helps you and your server, I guess just direct your players to launch through DZSA instead and it'll auto download required files and simply login once done .

They could be using these systems as standard operating procedure on PC Vanilla servers to, but why bother when the devs has already clearly stated on stream that modders and private hive/shard owners backup there servers more frequently than vanilla servers & can offer servers with options players have requested for five or more years, ie x2 loot table, no stamina, adding back in weapons, etc. Why spend customers cash on improving a product fast when you can let the community do it for free right? But what do I know, I'm only a 36yr old network engineer.

The programmes already exist and most private hive servers already use them. But while people are still buying the product in it's current state why spend money unnecessarily right?

You'll need to stack sticks in your hand to create a stack of four, take sticks to hand and press B on others sticks in your inventory to combine them. This works for all stackable items & is very useful for creating space in your inventory. You can also split stacks by pressing X on stacks. Hope this helps, just make sure you only have a stack of four sticks though me the craftable option will not appear, enjoy.

My friend has the same problem, she can't open any submenus in the emote wheel but has an elite controller like me & I have no issue. Very unusual bug that seems profile specific as no matter what controller we try she still can't open submenus

Shame they don't backup servers on console then until a fix is in place, not that hard to implement an automatic system to do this regularly. Plus they get paid to develop , consumers pay so arguably they have it easier.

Maybe the mods don't clean up anymore because even they've stopped playing , or have given up completely on vanilla servers as Modding is making dayz actually fun to play now , I've even had a mod like comments I've made that are constructively critical of Dayz and it's development. Just be thankful you guys can hold your breathe, lean, unjam weapons, cycle internal rounds for weapons & have servers that offer atleast some backup for persistency crashes. We don't get any of that over on console. Feels bad man

Maybe next time don't tell people to be polite and in the same breathe insult them by saying 'most people left that behaviour in the school yard' . Most new posters don't even know you can search for forum threads, the forums already dead with next to nobody posting because of this classic welcome of abuse over duplicates threads, nobody cares about duplicated threads when there literally the same ten people posting/responding to comments. and OP unfortunately persistency will never be stable until every mechanic/item is added back to the game atleast, so far every single mechanic added back in causes server crashes through bugs, cars cause crashes still, building causes crashes still depending on certain factors being aligned. Hell people where crashing servers purposefully with the wire in wall crash . Basically don't hold your breathe for persistency . We don't have private servers on console & even if we do get them we would be hiring them through a third party company most likely so guess what no access to backup server files consistently Incase of persistency crashes like PC server owners can. If vanilla BI servers on console auto backed up files every 30 mins Incase of a crash we wouldn't be havin this conversation as the server would roll back server data to nearest backup, but they don't do that so F*ck us I guess

That's a PC status update , no way to backup server files for xbox so whenever a server crashes all persistency gets wiped as BI don't practise what they preach on console.

It's Letting me join NL servers now.

Most of the issues with controls missing on console aren't an issue on PC, Plus now modded servers are out on PC we get way more options for weapons, server settings and map changes etc. Sh*t that I doubt will ever come to console unfortunately.

Someone posted about them not working a few hours back so maybe they've been down all night. Last time this happened it took till mid afternoon for anyone at BI to even comment in it then they went back up about 4pm GMT.

If your looking for silencers for dealing with infected whilst in combat with other players then id advice carrying a .45 cal pistol for it's one tap zombie potential, pistol suppressors have a higher spawn chance in new and old police stations and guard houses but currently do spawn in mil locations too but that comes with added risk of dealing with players looking to PvP. M4 and AKM suppressors are rarer spawns ATM and are largely ineffective against infected as even when suppressed AR's will aggro infected at quite a large distance, where as suppressed pistols will deal with infected quick sharp and not aggro other nearby infected. suppressors for AR's especially for the M4 can be hard to spot due to there size so if you are hitting up mil bases he sure to check vicinity inventory when next to beds in barracks as they can sometimes spawn inside the bunk bed models rather than on them. another rule of thumb is that yes certain buildings spawn certain loot categories but the higher north you proceed the higher the loot quality in said category will be, so the further north you go the higher the chance of finding suppressors, but that being said RNG rules the day and you could get lucky and find what your looking for on the coast. Objective wise only you can answer that question, ifyou want friendly player interaction then head for the coast or larger cities but be careful how you approach people and use that non directional VoIP to your advantage and talk from solid cover before trusting anyone, if you want PvP head to a mil zone or the NWAF. If you wish to minimise being killed on sight wear civilian clothing and appear as unarmed as possible but this is no guarantee to survival. at the moment end game objectives from the mod days don't really exist yet for any play style except maybe crafting a Ghillie suit, if that's your jam try hitting up cherno docks crimson containers or crimson containers anywhere for netting and all industrial areas for burlap cos you'll need a lot of burlap. no matter your objective I hope you have fun and enjoy the experience & once you grow bored hit up a SA launcher and try some modded servers for extra weapons, no stamina bar, PvP speciality servers , etc.

Gotta love that RNG loot table

Sh*t you guys in PC get to customise your character? Yet another thing us console plebs don't get, hell I'll add that to not being able to hold breathe, unjam weapons, lean..................
