Yep not seen or heard one in game since update, ever friendly survivor I've seen I ask I'df they've seen any either. I'm pretty experienced map wise and have travelled around a lot & I've come across a lot of other savvy survivors too & not a single sniff of a car. But it's so hard to tell if there spawning with there being so many tucked away spawns in the middle of nowhere. Please oh mighty devs/community manager please throw us a bone as let us know if the search is unnecessary for now.

I'd usually agree but I was on a high pop server, had to queue for ages to get in as it's one of the few That aren't bugged. Blessed be the day time free from rain! Some server hoppers are not only coward but also dumb enough to waste there time hopping into max capacity servers. Bless there cotton socks

Not spotted the dreaded mythical goat sucker but I was on my way along the green hiking trial from Gorka to Gzodno , was about halfway there and drinking from a stream when all of a sudden I hear bushes rusling next to me, I look up and I'm staring into the eyes of a gigantic boar which proceeds to squeel so loudly I though my ear drums would p*ss blood & very nearly p*ssed my pants . Needless to say I dispatched of it post haste and turned it into a stylish bag full if it's own meat. Karmas a bitch

Yep I feel ya, but once you get used to the map you'll be flying my man. I'd advise grabbing a compass as soon as possible ingame and try learnin direct routes rather than filling roads it'll save you a lot of food and water. Also always worth fillin your stomach when you find a water source and eating everything you find when a fresh spawn instead of Saving it to get to full calorie level

Yep I've been shot at a few times by people campin up there, guess your more likely to find easy targets as most people will have an ij pistol, or BK-18 & other low tier weapons so if your into KOS it's a low risk gunfight ifyour rocking an AR with a long range scope, I'm personally not into KOS and never stay in one place to long unless I'm starting a fire to dry out or cook, base build etc. But I get bored liein in the grass hard scoping into military bases for an hour hoping to kill an unaware low geared dude. But thats the appeal of DayZ , many ways to play but server hoppers are subhuman as far as I'm concerned lmao

Yep wish console had the option for private servers but that's a long way away if it comes at all. Maybe after 1.0 they'll implement some servers where characters are locked to that specific server, those servers will separate the men from the boys ;)

Probably a side effect of the servers being bugged out currently . No word on a server fix yet but I'm sure it'll drop before a stability path does as it's something they should be able to work on and change at there end without a patch going through Microsoft. No word as of yet though so it must be a tricky issue to fix

Any word on a server fix for night and rain? I know the devs have only been back a day so not expecting miracles as it could be a tricky server setting problem. Also has there been any confirmation that the lada 4x4 is actually spawning by a community manager or BI team member since they've been back in office? Just curious, I've searched high & low but not found one yet but there a rare spawn I should imagine. anyway hope the dev same not suffering from migraines and nose bleeds today as the bugs fix list must look like an insurmountable task, I'll be playing regardless of a fix for servers or bugs , dayZ addict confirmed lol

Are you definitely only holding one netting and combining with a stack of two burlap strips? Also yes you only get one burlap strip from a sack, weird I know but thinks it's meant to say burlap strips. Just make sure you're not trying to combine all your strips and all your nets at the same time as recipes require specific stacks of each in order to give the prompt. If your using to many in a stack or too little it won't give a recipe crafting prompt.

Well I've just played for 24hours solid and my brain can't take anymore of being awake, even thought the internal loot goblin is dying to continue. Good luck BI dev team with hunting out those server bugs & hopefully finding some solutions. Whether you iron the servers out or not by the time I wake up I'll still be loading and adventuring around chernarus

I feel ya dude and trust me I wish it ran better too, but just try and remember game preview is games bug testing essentially , with an update added multiple new larges mechanics & items plus map changes there's always gonna be a tonne of bugs. But truly unplayeable would be crashing out to menu on launch 100% of the time, not wanting to play & report bugs because of increased rendering time & fps/sound hitching isn't unplayable it's just aggravating if games testing isn't your jam. And that totally okay, just take a break for a few weeks , come back & I'm sure it'll be more stable and less prone to cause brain bleeding lol. I'm not cussing you out or deeming your opinion less valid than mine either, if you aren't having fun and want to have fun on dayz just accept that you gonna have to leave it awhile, but unfortunately this is how game preview and games in development to sometimes, those who risk failing big are the ones who stand to gain great success , unfortunately it doesn't always pan out.

Hey thanks for the couple of updates on the thread this morning, the games a bit janked right now but it's not unplayeable aslong as you don't hang around big towns so it's all gravy as far as I'm concerned. I think once the servers are running correctly people will calm down and enjoy testing base building and looting for new items etc, I think most if the negative responses were people who were on 24/7 pitch black servers with the endless rain. I for one have actually enjoyed this update but obviously the fps drops, sound bug etc aren't great but I've seen worse in game issue with other games in testing phase before. oh and server NL 3663933 has been one of the few constant clear skies daytime servers over the weekend. Hope that helps & good luck to the team rectifying bugs etc In The upcoming weeks, all issues will be quickly forgotten by the community once some engine stability is restored im sure.

I've crafted the ghillie hat and ghillie wrap for rifles a few times now. You need normal netting not camo netting and two burlap strips (2 burlap sacks torn cut up) then just combine one netting with a stack of two strips. You'll have to tap RT to switch to the gun ghillie wrap though as the first recipe is the ghillie hat. Hope that helps

Doesn't work for me, shows no range when looking through it. The whole point of a range finder is that it bounces a laser of your target and gives you a digital read out of distance for zeroing your weapon sight. You can look through it but there not read out, so it ain't working. With or without battery.

I like the way your mind works, but if your conspiracy theory were true my respect for BI would actually increase with admiration for such genius tactical trolling ;)

If you want geared PvP go to North west airfield , if you want to be a doosch go to berezino , electro or cherno for the perpetual carnage of fresh spawn versus assault rifle wielding maniacs.

All if seen in status reports and development posts is that there internally trying to think of the best way to deal with this issue. The best way would be placeable safes with combinations for your best loot but I think were a long long way from that being added. And the whole re-spawn radius and base radius mechanic would e a nightmare to implement. Another easy fix would be characters locked to servers to prevent server hopping completely but again until the games full release and stable with full persistency that's not a viable option. It's a tough one but it's safe to say any fix will take a long long time

The headlamp is currently bugged. If worn on head after turning the power on in hands it'll actually shine the light beam out of the back of your head, you can only see it if your playing with another player as even in 3rd person the beam goes directly past your line of sight behind you. But it'll work in hand like a normal torch with a 9v battery combined with it.

There is no fix for this issue in game or by uninstalling and reinstalling unfortunately. Until a stability patch is done it will be a reoccurring problem. There are a few things you can do too minimise the problem, keep a right inventory of items so as not to cause crashes, less items cases less issues & also don't pick up the new shotgun as it's bugged ATM and cause crashes f it's in your inventory. Hope this helps

Yep ladders have claimed more lives than bullets in chernarus lol, was even worse back in the old engine on PC, a small fall or a trip over some uneven ground would cause a leg break and if you didn't have a splint or morphine you were in for a long crawl to help or death lmao. Still though ladders are the enemy and I for one heed your friends advice.

Exact same thing happened to me, servers are buggy as he ATM and there doesn't seem to be a server reset timer. To be fair though the devs did state that persistency for bases isn't a thing yet and that there prone to despawning at random or on server resets. They specifically said don't get to attached, especially as they'll most likely be doing a full server reset after the weekend to sort the constant night and rain out on 99% of servers as that an unintentional bug, plus at somepoint next week I'm sure there will be another patch for a lot of the hugs this update has with fps and rendering. I feel your pain though but atleast we will get a head start in knowing how to build once the game gets stable and releases as a 1.0 version :)

Don't thank me too soon it's just started raining :D lol, but atleast it's daytime.

Nice thanks for the info dude.

I feel your pain, I've found one of the few servers with daylight and clear skies but the last update is causing so many crashes that I'm spending more time queuing to get back in than I am playing. It seems the masses have also discovered this rare server with a glowing fiery orb in the sky as well, the queues still 30 strong at 3am ;)

I try my friend, I'm not always successful though lol. It's always best to subscribe to all the DayZ social media outlets like twitter, Facebook and reddit. It can be very difficult to keep upto date with dayz info as it occurs. Also the community manager is called M60 RAPTOR. If you search him on the forum and follow him it's always worth seeing what he has to say as it's usually his role to deal with damage limitation when updates go a bit crazy.
