OK, so the scorpion won't reload mags now. It breaks the mag in the gun and which ever one it tried to swap with. For crying out loud, with every fix comes a new broken thing, just FIX YOUR GAME 🤬🤬🤬

In the grand scheme of things, I really hope the devs don't focus resources on fixing that 😄

Oh my god. Daylight has arrived. I step out my tent, try to pick up the cable reel that's been left behind, and it's immediately stuck in my hand. Now I'll need to reboot the server. Seriously, I've logged on, hit a bug within a few seconds, had to wait for day time, only to immediately hit another bug that requires a full server restart. I've not done anything yet, it's a private server with nobody on it, and the game has broken within seconds of my booting it up. How the hell do software companies get away with this. Somebody should start a class action and at this point we should be looking at getting our money back. This isn't a game preview anymore, and it still plays like a broken mess of a pre alpha build. We've all been used as a cash cow and been blatantly ripped off. It's not even like we've been impatient, the game is years old now and nothing changes, it's still a broken mess.

Well, I've logged back onto my server for the first time in a week (work life and all that) and its night time. Surprise sur god damn surprise, all the lights have despawned along with the generators. 5 seconds I've been on and POW first bug hits me right away. Now I'm sat staring at a black screen unable to do anything. I don't want to turn night off but I really don't see any other solution. This game really is a total sh1t show. I dream of the day a developer with talent brings out a similar alternative game that works. Soon as that happens DayZ servers will be empty overnight.

And I've just got back to my base, and again I've had to reset the server. Generators have vanished, some that haven't won't switch on, I can't switch any of the lights on, a cable reel got stuck in my hand and I couldn't out it down. Inventory stuck in the car. Reset the server, sorted a couple things, headed out of my base, and the games crashed. Restarted, come back on, none of my weapons will aim down site or fire, when I press the right trigger my guys walks instead. The list goes on and on and on and on!!!

I've long stopped bothering with public servers so can't comment on how they are right now, I'm on a private server. The game experience is still horrific. Inventory management still entirely broken and constant server restarts required as often as every few minutes at times. Zombies still glitch through walls. Lost 2 more cars due to lag and death is a regualry risk from just bugs and glitches alone. Trying to manage inventory, which is a core game mechanic, has you tearing your hair out at times with things getting de-sync'd, items getting locked in crates, and the game loses track of where things are constantly, I mean you can't even scroll around without it losing track of where you're trying to scroll to. How no progress is being made with these things is baffling, we can only assume the devs lack the necessary talent to fix this. Only reason I'm posting this is because Ive again had to log off and reboot the server. The developers need to stop work on this game NOW. Hire in the necessary talent, and start work on Dayz 2 on a totally new game engine that will actually work. Either this or they should just give up because it's getting beyond a joke now, how patient do we really need to be!

Pretty sure duping is still rife. I've stopped playing on public servers they're a complete waste of time and generally populated by PvP players that only KOS, and groups that are stashing a ton of gear (presumably duping it) completely messing up the spawning. I've seen servers with 20-30 car tents all pitched to form some sort of base, no way that's legit.

Just tap right on the D-pad and it usually fixes it. Another new bug I know, but a workable one.

Not had this issue, but have noticed a new bug in this update where a fire appears to keep burning after is supposed to have run out. You can't use it or do anything with it, but it does look like it's burning. As other have mentioned as well, I've noticed more server crashes. We turned zombies off to try help but it didn't seem to make any difference. Gotta be honest, the general player experience is worse with this update.

It does rain a lot but I like the rain. OK so maybe it rains a bit too much but its hardly the biggest issue. I've had a day playing since the update and so far none of the usual bugs have been resolved and the game performance is worse than before the update. The frame rate is terrible now. Textures take a few seconds to load constantly. Inventory still gets stuck, de-syncs, or doesn't move around properly. Cars are still a total mess and stuff depawns when it's not supposed to. Zombies are spawning on roof tops and inside buildings in rooms with no way in or out. The bandage bug is still there and generally all the major bugs are still as alive and well as they ever where, including some dropped items totally vanishing. I'm on a private server with all the zombies turned off and the game performance is still choppy as heck. Yup, the rain is the least of the games problems, but truth be told they obviously can't fix all that stuff and it's basically how the game is.

Public servers are always like this and always will be, you have to accept it. The alternative is to rent a private server where there's nothing going on at all.

Well, inventory is broken exactly as it always was, cars are still super glitchy plus your character takes damage most time you try exit the vehicle. General performance seems much worse with constant persistent texture loading visible at all times, terrible framerates, and now there's a door in one of the buildings that's is now broken and flys across a room. I've also had my character carry items nobody else can see and I appear to have no arms, and items flopping about when putting them down which is strange. I'd not played for a while and came on to see all the nice new improvements, as I usually do after I get fed up of all the bugs. If I'm honest it seems worse and can't see any improvements, not a big deal as it was pretty much expected at this point I suppose. All this was within the first couple hours of coming back on so it seems business as usual. Any idea when 1.08 will be released?

Don't think this will ever get resolved, the devs seem to handle the games inability to properly maintain inventory and bases by making sure everything breaks easy or just disappears on its own. If you want a virtually impregnable base, simply face 2 car tents opposite each other. On the EU server 1492 in Brena there is a base with maybe 20 or more car tents all set out that way. It's pretty lame. Pointing out these things on the forums will result in your ability to reply to or start new threads being removed (I can no longer post in the general forum). I stopped playing for a while and came back on yesterday, in a 4 hour session I found a base I was able to break into within a few seconds, but worse was the fact all the same bugs are still alive and well. Inventory desync, inability to use bandages when trying to heal resulting in a rush to relog only to find all my bandages weren't even in my inventory. By the end of the session I'd found barely any weapons (I assume the guys in Brena are duping and that's not been fixed yet either), and was eventually killed by a guy that took 2 or 3 shots to the face at point blank range from an SK I'd picked up, and killed me with a single shovel hit to the face. I am honestly baffled by how the devs manage this game and in what universe exactly a shovel hit is more powerful than at least 2 x 7.62mm rounds to the face from a couple metres range. You've really just got to accept the game as it and suck it up if you want to keep playing. There are some decent alternatives on the horizon that I think might kill this game off if these fundamentals of the game stay forever fubar'd.

That's not what I said is it. Run along.....

I think he wants someone to touch his noodle.... FWIW, 2 of the supposed main fixes, the crashes and character updates I never really had an issue with before the latest update. This weekend just gone I played most of the Sunday and suffered multiple regular game crashes and my log screen character was almost always out of sync with my character server side, so these 2 supposed fixes have actually made these 2 specific things much worse for me. Just another case of an update breaking as much as it was supposed to fix. I keep saying this is one of the most badly put together games I've seen in recent memory, and every update seems to keep proving that. I keep persevering with it because I don't want to have wasted my money, but I'm starting to lose hope, and interest. Not a single person on my xbox FL that I used to play with bother with this game anymore, and despite the higher purchase price, the game is so far behind the PC version it still feels like early access, despite the 'full release' and £50 price tag!
