Wait, will server hopping be possible in the future versions of the game? I thought it's only temporary. There's no wayyyy I'm gonna play DayZ if this will continue. I mean, what's the point? Last time I died (was explaining to my friend how to suicide, clicked Y by mistake) I geared up in 1 hour like nothing happened, all all thanks to the hopping methodology we developed. This is how xbox players play DayZ today:

I found a Skorpion in a police car. I thought it was a pizza delivery car at first... but it just didn't make any sense. I wonder if anybody found a mag for the Skorpion ? Edit: I found mags for Skorpion and for MP5 on the top of a radio antenna somewhere.

You will need a pickaxe to mine large stones out of boulders. https://dayz.gamepedia.com/Pickaxe But I'm pretty sure that pickaxes are not in the game yet (xbox version at least).

Tripods are not implemented yet in xbox. You can put the pot, logs, sticks, rags, etc. Inside the fireplace using the micromanagement (hold A and drop).

Thanks for the info @Bombarding Whether the server restarts every 2 or 5 hours, time is not moving forward in the xbox version. Just observe the sun and shadows and you will see that they are at the same place for the entire session. I have DayZ on PC and on Xbox and I did the comparison. I wish someone would prove I'm wrong, though.

When the sun will set, And and the moon will be shy, Seize the moment and flee, And leave others to die. - Tarkules, "DayZ, DayZ, I'm half crazy", 2018 ♧

You're right, that wasn't a real answer and I should have answered it straight forward since it is the "Troubleshooting" thread. So I apologize. The issue you're describing has been discussed here, It is a bug in the M68 scope (red dot), among with few more scope-related bugs mainly missing textures, that have been discussed in the Xbox thread few times. I still suggest to search the forum for the issue, if you cant find it, you can report it as bug to BI.

Can you sharpen your knives with small stones, in the current build in xbox?

Not bugged. It just not implemented yet in Xbox.

A real survivor doesn't need a red dot. I suggest to remove the battery and use the M68 scope without the red dot. You will be a pro in no-time. And this bug was already reported maybe 10 times in the last 3 weeks, searching the forum before posting will probably save your time and lead you to the right answers, which is, in this case - just be patient.

Like! GG

This post is just my way to say thank you BI. So, I just realized that rain soaks my clothes and my backpack, and it makes you very heavy because of it. I was running with a friend and it started to rain. After maybe 10 min I couldn't jump or sprint anymore.. eventually we figured out that we are soaked wet! We found a house, made a nice fire, and dried our stuff. Finally, a game with logic. Whoever came up with this idea and decided to implement it, and to all the programmers - you have my respect guys. Thank you.

First, gather up some peace keepers. Then, take over a city on a specific server and make it your base. This means you clean the streets of zombies by UN patrol, whatever is needed to make it safe as long as possible. Then expand your patrols to some known spawn locations and help and rescue those who are in trouble. If you do all that, only then, the UN can be recognized as a "peace keeper" force in Cherno. You don't need to ask for recognition, you do whatever is needed to be recognized. If you do that - you'll have even my support, I like the idea.

If you see a bunch of players wearing army clothes, it doesn't mean anything regards their personality. It only gives away the fact they have been to a military base. Maybe they are hyped to pop you, maybe not. You can wear a dress and travel light and give headshots to whoever says "Hey mate, you friendly?" Boom. And you take his beans. The only way to survive for long is to move undercover, observe the players and find out if they have a group and how they behave. You will be amazed by the horrors kids are capable of, and how many nice players with army camo or glaring red/orange/green backpacks and helmets are hiding out there. Clothes got nothing to do with it.

The restraining system is not implemented yet in xbox.

Hi, Are you using an XBOX Kinect controller ? Those have a different headset connector (not a 3.5 mm jack) with only 1 ear piece and a mic. If so - I think maybe they were not meant to output the game's sound at all. I have one of those and can't make it happen.

The servers are restarting every few hours, but the time is not moving forward at all. You've been playing the same second from day 1. If it was moving - the sky light would have changed as the sun moves in its course until sunset. Night time is a very unique experience, there is also a moon and it has its lunar cycle which means there are full moon nights and pitch black nights. Rain is random.

They do exist in xbox, and can be found (actually, they find you..) in the north. If you kill 3 of them, the rest will flee. I got attacked twice. Then I ate the pack leader.. but I also brought my pistol to the party so it was brief, but still, scary.

- Hold your gun / pistol - Navigate to to your spare magazine - Click B to combine. If it doesn't work (bug): - Hold your gun / pistol - Navigate to your EMPTY magazine inside the weapon - Hold Y to throw away - Navigate to your spare mag - Click B to combine. (Don't forget to collect the empty mag) * Putting the mag inside the weapon with micromanagement will not work in case #2. You will have to try again until its loaded. Maybe it's a lag thing.

Yup. Was playing with a friend, we got kicked together after 2 hours, then after much less, maybe 30-60 min. Then we got kicked separately for 3 times, at one time the game crashed completely for me. But mostly it was pure fun.

I was standing over a water stream holding a bottle, it was half full. I was going to fill it up, but a new action appeared: "Empty bottle". Why can't I empty it everywhere? Also, why can't I empty the canteen? It's really not a big issue at the moment, but I am trying to get used to drinking only clean water. I noticed that sometimes, after drinking water from a bottle I just found, raises my "disease" indicator. I should be able to empty it right away.

Anyway... Try to delete your local saved data and restart the game. Can be found in the xbox manage menu of the game.

Damn, I missed that line.. :|

Make a fireplace, don't light it up, pick it up and aim with it at the fireplace. It will put it inside. Add wood if needed. Light the fire. Take pot, fill with water, add chicken, mushrooms, or apples. Add salt as needed. Put on fire. Serve hot. Dishes: 1-4 Difficulty level: easy Est. Prep time: 3 min if you're a pro, 7 trees if your are new. Cooking time: 30 seconds

The only way to solve this, is by adding more wells to most town and villages, but they should be a different type of a functioning well, and should collect rain water automatically when it rains. After all, soda cans should not exist for long time in an post-apocalyptic world. As for food - more animal spawns and the "to-be-implemented" wooden bow. And/or fruits and veggies, whatever it is - it should grow naturally. And get a knife. That's all you need.
