No One With That Name

That's my mistake about creating the new - similar post. I didn't know there was "merge process". Thanks for the advice. I do have a capture device on this PC. I'll make use of it. I've viewed Twitch... but have never streamed to Twitch. I have need to look into that. Thanks

I made a post last week about wolves entering a closed house. Today... I watched a wolf run right through a wall of a building then run out of the building while attacking a zed. Earlier, I also saw a (wounded) crawling zed go through a closed door into a house... where I then shot him. All in all the newest update seems to be good... but the newest (beta) update seems to have introduced a few bugs as well. In previous updates I saw glitching where zeds could "reached" through a door and hurt you... and it was always a door - not a wall... I never saw one just "go through a door" as if the door wasn't there. and this update... (sometimes)... wolves and zeds just "go through" something that is visually not there. but programmatically it is. Kinda like the barrel issue where it can't figure out if it's open or closed.

As a following to this post: Here's a video. Quality is not good. It was record with my cell phone. http://izombie.info/dayz/dayz-190211-zeds-enters-closed-building.mp4 Bug report already submitted. Was curious if others had encountered this. I've seen this happen 4 times in 2 days.

Seems to be a slight issue with the Discussion Forum. I have an image... how to do you attach a local image ?

@Weyland Yutani - You seem to have a serious anger management issue. Take a pill or something. You are taking this minor thing way overboard. Your whole argument (because that's what you are trying to create - an argument)... is based on me saying ""Seems to be a slight issue with the Discussion Forum."... and that's enough justification for you to create a head-on-collision with me ? How pitiful of a life do you have - that you have bully your way around and act like you are a know-it-all ? And if you took the time check - you might see I joined this community on January 28th. Just go away... I was providing feedback about the product. If you don't care about that... nothing I can do. I had some respect before this. Not now. And you do owe me an apology. Whether or not you actually provide one is an clear indication of what type of adult you are. You want to cancel my account ? Go right ahead.

What I was trying to figure out... was how to upload an image to this specific forum. Did I know - that feature was not available on this site ? No. That's why I was asking. I had a screenshot of a bug in the application. So... I don't really know why you are stating... "Instead of blaming the site"... because - I never did blamed "the site". I was simply asking a question. I did however respond to another person... who had a similarly sarcastic non-helpful response. Thanks for the video though. It was amusing.

I exited the game (night time) about 2 hours ago. I make it a habit to close all doors before I exit. With that said... I've seen (previously) closed doors - be open when I re-enter the map. But back to the topic: With this issue - I just re-entered the game 10 minutes ago. I spawned into the same location I had exited from. All doors were closed. I could hear a zed. Sounded like it was in the house. I switched to a shotgun and opened the door - and there's Mr Zed. In the house. He was not there when I previously exited. He spawned when I re-entered the map. I put him down with one 12ga slug... so a 12ga will put a zed down as it should (based on distance and aiming). I previously mentioned it took 3 bullets... but that was from hand guns and rifles. So the shot gun seems to work working. Not yet sure about hand guns or rifles. Sorry if I'm jumping around a bit. As for the zeds on the roof... they are still there. Saw on yesterday. As for the server... I'm literally riding the server. I'm getting 0 to 5ms latency. Most of the slow downs I'm seeing are right at the beginning after the game displays... but seems to post-load some items. AI Sounds are still kinda screwy. In the woods... the wind... or when it rains and you hear water coming into gutter or something like that. It starts off really low - then gradually increases to a loud sound - then all the sudden cuts off. I've got cell phone video... basically it's just me opening the door and putting down the zed... so it doesn't show exit or re-enter parts. But again... I know he was a fresh spawn.

Pilgrim. I've been trying to get a screen shot / video... but basically - you are inside a building with closed doors - you are looking at a wall - and the wolf literally runs through it. Obviously, a wall is a physical barrier that things are "not suppose to go through"... in either direction. If a wolf can go through a wall - then the AI thinks there is no wall there... even though it's draws a wall you can see - or there is a collision aspect that allows the wolf to "somehow" go though a wall... even though the AI knows a wolf cannot go through a wall. It's a frustrating issue. You spend an incredible amount of time in the game... to simply die because of a bug. I understand it's experimental. You just have to deal with it. But it's frustrating no less. My job allows me to put in about 2 hours a day intermixed throughout the day... And I've encountered some really strange issues... I still like the game though. I think it's comes a long way... but still has a long ways to go. For example... (totally different issue) I'm still trying to out the hit / damage ratio weapons (guns, hatches, etc) make. In the previous update... I could mostly zeds with 1 bullet from any gun. Now it seems to take 3 bullets. Regardless of the gun / rifle / I use. And since I'm dead again... because of the wolf.. I have to start over... but again - I understand that. And it is still fun. Especially when I have something like a hundred barrels spread out across the map.

Instead of blaming the operator... perhaps provide a little assistance and tell the operator what they are doing wrong. From what I can see... and from what 2 other replies are stating - you have to upload the image to an alternate host - then link to it.

Yes. Solved now. Thanks. Reading back through the thread I see you did provided the steps to correct. It's difficult playing this game with braille ! The zeds think I'm messing with them ! 😉

Awesome. I didn't realize the Server had an Experimental version as well. Have switched the Server to Experimental. And it loads. However... instant severe Server lag. So far taking well over a minute for the surrounding environment to load. Maybe a caching issue. Will keep messing with it. Now I can get my daily fix ! Thanks again !

Not sure where to report this... Just installed an update to via Steam. to v.1.0.150408 After this update... the game loads but every time I select the "Play" option... give it a couple seconds - and it displays "Connecting Failed". Game was running just fine for weeks - even after multiple updates.

ah. Yes I did miss the link. Thanks.

I agree. Idaho Potato is the absolute minimum. Below that - the results are just absurd.

OLD: I encountered this issue as well (with the last update) (zeds glitching through doors)... but for me - it was a wolf. A wolf glitched into house and started kissing me before I realized it was actually killing me. I'm slow that way sometimes. I haven't been able to get the current update to work. Connecting Failed error. ============================================================== UPDATE: This issue has been corrected. I didn't realize the Server version now has an Experimental mode. I was attempting to run the Game (Experimental) with the Server (Stable). Both are now in Experimental Mode and every thing loads. Seems to be some severe lag though. Still playing with it to see where it goes.

This update killed the game for me on a local server. Game loads ok but when you select Play... it eventually displays a "Connecting Failed" error message. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling - did not fix the problem. Issue started immediately after update was downloaded / installed / executed. (Side Note when I switched to Stable) I know it's a different build (with a local server) - everything worked ok - but lost all Keyboard and Mouse controls. I switched back to Experimental - and the original issue (Connecting Failed) returned. All files validated.

I nominate Guy Smiley as Best Actor and Survivor1431 as Best Victim for the upcoming Oscars Awards.

I don't think this classifies OP - as the "Best Player" in DayZ... more like a bottom of barrel scrape the crud off my shoe type of player. Maybe a quarter step above a Duper. But that's just my opinion.

HaseDesTodes - I understand everything you said. And everything you said appears to be correct. I provided the additional information - in case someone was able to catch something I missed. I've tried setting up DayZ (game) in both Stable and Experimental. DayZ (server) is running on a local / dedicated server. It's right next to me... or under my desk to be more specific. To restate... (hoping someone find something): When DayZ (game) is set to stable... the game loads and starts properly. I just have no keyboard or mouse controls. When DayZ (game) is set to experimental... the game loads but when I select Play - it produces the "Connecting Failed" error message. This literally started yesterday. Steam automatically downloaded an update to DayZ (game). After the update... that's when I started encountered the "Connecting Failed" issue. I didn't know about the loss of Keyboard / Mouse controls when setting DayZ (game) to Stable. I discovered that - today. Prior to yesterday... there were no issues. This appears to be an issue / bug with the new DayZ (game) update... as it no longer communicates with DayZ (server) properly. When checking to what (DayZ) servers are available... my local / dedicated server is visible... pings at 0ms - and selectable. I'm still curious that BI / DayZ doesn't have a tech support / bug reporting process ?

I have DayZ running through Steam in Experimental mode. Also wanted to state - NO MODS. Plain Vanilla DayZ. I just "opted out of all Betas"... and this forced Steam to re-download DayZ. ----------> (To opt-out of beta... I had to open Steam / right-click on DayZ / select Properties / select Betas / select Opt Out). The DayZ server is a separate application outside of Steam that I have to run before loading the game. ---------> I thought you had to be in Experimental mode - in order to run the local DayZ server. =============================== (long wait for the game to re-download) So - now that the download (via Steam) is done (non beta mode)... here's a test: =============================== TEST 1 1) Start DayZ server (load successful) 2) (After DayZ Server has started)..... Start Steam (load successful) 3) Start DayZ (load successful) 4) Select Play --------> (game starts successfully. I spawned in the location I was at when I last exited... so location / item database appears to be ok) RESULT: Even though everything seems to have worked... I have NO KEYBOARD and NO MOUSE controls. Nothing. I can't even exit the game without using ALT + TAB to force kill the game. =============================== TEST 2 - Everything loaded ok. Same results. NO KEYBOARD / NO MOUSE controls. =============================== Reselect beta mode (via Steam). Interesting that it doesn't require you to enter the beta code. Selecting "Check Code" does nothing... but it re-queue an update... so I'm guessing it will re-download the Experimental version. (long wait for the game to re-download) After re-download (Experimental mode)... Steam immediately RE-QUEUE ANOTHER UPDATE... --------> now downloading the 2nd update... which I'm hoping doesn't throw me right back into the original problem... (long wait for the game to re-download) =============================== and... here goes... TEST 3 - Same as original results. The game does not connect... and displays a "Connecting Failed" error message. =============================== IN CONCLUSION In non-experimental mode everything loads but player does not have any keyboard or mouse. In experimental mode everything loads but cannot connect. =============================== Is there no way to contact BI / DayZ support ?

This wasn't a clipping issue. The wolf was completely inside the house biting me. I was able to shoot and kill the wolf - but not after taking substantial damage - and passing out. Then I died.

Not sure where to post this question. Today... I ran into a pack of wolves and fired off a shotgun round. This attracted a swarm of zombies. In the confusion... I was able to get into a house and close all the entry points. The wolves and zombies are having a hayday with each other... and I eventually exited the game. Several times laters... I re-entered the game to find the wolves and zombies... still going at it. On the last re-entry into the game... I wolf spawn inside the closed house. I was able to get a couple shots off but ultimately died. I didn't realize wolves could spawn inside a closed house. Got me thinking... can zombies spawn inside a closed house ?

All the files validated. I thought running a local server required the experimental mode. If can't run the local server... then basically there's no point to the game for me. Which sucks. Because I like the game 😞

It the exp build. That loads without issue. The game itself loads - gets to the Main Menu. But selecting Play just fails every time now. Have tried restarting the computer / reinstalling the files... no go.

There is persistence on the server. At least until now. Received on update today and the game no longer starts. Keep getting a "Connection Failed" error.
