Yes, I am hoping framerate for the new Xbox Series Consoles will be better and at least at 60FPS. I stopped playing on my Xbox One X console because of poor framerates and not being able to easily control the character. I briefly did try DayZ on my new Xbox Series X and I initially am seeing better performance. However I need to play on more crowded servers to get a better overall impression. If the frame rate and controller responsiveness is improved on the newer consoles I will be playing more and encouraging friends to also join me.

I just played DayZ on my new Xbox Series X and the game seems to be running much better with higher frame rates and better controller responsiveness. The game looks and plays like a better version of DayZ compared to my old Xbox One X play time. I would be interested to hear from the developers on the improved performance they are experiencing with the DayZ game on the new Xbox Series X and S consoles.

Thank you for the answer to my question on unequipping items!

Hi, is there a quick way with PC controls to unequip and item held in your hands back to inventory without going back into the inventory screen? This would be for items not in your hotbar. Thanks.

I do not want to ruin the hard core immersion however I am curious: is there a plan to add more feedback into the game to register when you are taking hits from gun fire or melee attacks? Many times you can hear maybe a shot then you just die with very little feedback that you are actually getting hit even though there are many shots. Also, if you are in inventory and Zombies are hitting you it is not easy to be aware of the hits until getting out of inventory screen. In a real life situation taking melee hits you would know it! Would it ruin the immersion or would it benefit play to possibly add either more sound, controller vibration or some type of indicator when taking fire or melee?

For the community on reloading topic: I just did a test and put all my extra M4 magazines in one storage area and maxed out that same are with other items. I think it was my character's pants. I then tried to reload the M4 in my hands by just pressing Y in the main HUD (outside of inventory menu) and the M4 would not reload even though other storage items were not full such as backpack. I then went back and made room in my pants so this inventory space was not maxed out but still had the magazines for M4. Went back to main HUD with M4 in hands, pressed Y and I was able to reload. The issue of not being able to reload by pressing Y is caused by maxing out the inventory space holding the extra magazines. Kynero

Anyone else notice that Xbox bug reporting site may be not working properly? I logged 2 bugs today but did not get confirmation email like usual and also noticed that the last bug post on main page was Sept. 29? there may be an issue with the Bug reporting software.

Robbie, See my response I agree this is not a ghost bullet topic it has to do with doing a simple reload. See my comments on this: I believe reloading a new clip into weapon "not working" is tied to how full your inventory space is and if the magazine you want to load is in an inventory slot that is full. You can not reload the weapon in hand by just pressing the Y button in this instance. I have noticed that when my inventory is full or almost full if I try to reload my weapon by pressing the Y button only it will not reload unless I go into the inventory menu while holding gun in hands, then I micromanage to the magazine in my hands and press Y on magazine to remove it. Then I have to highlight the full magazine in the inventory space and hit B to combine then it reloads. However, if my inventory in well below the maximum capacity and I have a full magazine in inventory I can reload simply by pressing Y button while weapon is in my hands. Hope this helps.

I have reported this on Bug site but wanted to inform community in case it is helpful: I noticed that normally you can quickly switch weapons or items in your hands that have been assigned to the quick slot menu by just holding Y repeatedly. However, I think I found a bug: if you have the compass equipped in the quick slot menu, when you equip it to your hands by holding Y button to cycle to it you can not move past to the next item. Further holding Y continually just opens and closes the compass.

The freezing issue while in inventory screen seems to be permanent for me. I have waited for a minute or so and while in inventory you can not back out or do anything except hit glowing Xbox controller button to go back to main Xbox screen and then shut game app down. The freezing occurs when using R trigger to switch between inventory items on character such as backpack, pants etc...and only happens for me when you R trigger down to last inventory item on the character I have reported this in Bug section but for some reason the Bug section for Xbox is not updating to show my log.

I play on Xbox One X and have noticed major frame rate slow down and stutter in large cities as well an did report this on bug site. 1. I have noticed frame rate stutter and slow down to the point of game freezing in Novodmitrovsk and Zelenogorsk recently. This has happened in other cities also. I do not have a screen shot. 2. I have noticed it happening when I initially log into the city or even if I have been playing a while. 3. I have noticed this both when alone but more when playing with friends, 1 or 2 other people in Xbox party in same area. 4. It seems to happen more when I aim down site with an ACOG equipped on M4 or PSO-1 equipped on AKM. Hope this is helpful.

Baty, I just messaged you directly through this system with player ID about game freezing. Let me know if you received it. Kynero

I did read the post you mention from Peter on skills...Thank you. Is this implemented and working in the current Xbox version of DayZ? Precisions versus rough skills?

Thank you I will read it!

Can you elaborate on soft skills? I have had same question on this bar above stamina bar. Is the bar working at moment or is it for future update and please explain soft skills further?

Permanent freeze. I have also had this happen to me playing game then go into inventory and cycle down using Left or Right Triggers to bottom of screen and it permanently freezes. Have to quit game by using glowing Xbox center button to get into Xbox menu.

Many of the weapons you mention are not in the game yet. There should be more weapons in the future. Currently you have to make an improvised suppressor with water bottle and duct tape for M4. There is an East suppressor for AKM and a pistol suppressor for submachine guns and pistols in game now.

I agree buying an Xbox One X for this game is worth it!

Yes more zombies would be better for game play in general and make it more interesting coupled with the PvP!

I also have not found a heli crash site yet even after going to locations on the iZurvive map. I did see smoke at the NW airfield and went over to it and there was no helicopter underneath just smoke coming out of ground. I think this is a bug and was not showing the helicopter?

I have submitted a bug report but wanted to post for community to see as well in case it may be helpful: Xbox version 63.148795 Switching between party and game chat seems to have improved since the 9-25-2018 update however there is still a bug our party found. When switching from party to game chat by going through Xbox menu then pressing down on D pad the microphone icon shows in HUD and game chat seems to be working. However, if you go back to party chat by using the Xbox menu while leaving the microphone icon on in the HUD and then try to switch back to game chat again through Xbox menu the game chat does not work. We tried this several times and got same result. To fix this, we found out that when in game chat you must first turn off the microphone HUD icon by double pressing down on D pad before switching to party chat. Then switch to party chat. Then when you switch back to game chat you can turn on microphone with D pad and game chat will work. So you have to keep turning game chat microphone off before switching so it does not cause a problem. I hope the Developers find a way to improve this so it is a simple switch between the two chat systems without a possibility of an bug happening. The easiest for player would simply be pressing down on D pad to go into game chat from party chat and bypassing the Xbox menu.

I submitted a bug report on switching between party and game chat. I agree switching from party chat to game chat is still not working reliably even when you follow proper steps by switching through Xbox menu then pressing down on D pad. Our party had several problems with this over past several days.

YetiBum, Yes thanks I have submitted a bug report on this item.
