@drgullen Thanks for sharing your experience. This would explain everything. Either you already have important parts with you or you have to go and look for them. In my case, I would have had to drive from place to place with the car and the broken tires to the scrap cars. It gets difficult when it has just gotten dark. I also noticed that a server doesn't want to give you any tires at all! I once walked from scrap car to scrap car of the same brand for a very long time (5 scrap gunters in Sitnik). At some point, of course, you give up. Only after I logged out and logged in again after a certain time, I finally found some. In your case you even cant drive with a ruined radiator to secure your car, you need to fill it with water first. The engine gets ruined quite fast. I think we need more time to replace a damaged part, as your example with the radiator shows. Do the hood, doors and headlights count as important parts that have to be replaced ? DayZ developer: please give us more time to repair a car.

I was driving with my car yesterday. Suddenly behind a curve there was a tree on the road and I could not brake in time. The two front tyres were ruined. But I managed to drive carefully in first gear to my base to fix it there again. I secured some items from the trunk in my boxes. Then I walked to the next village to look for two tires. It took a few hours until I was back at my base with two tires. The car was not there anymore! It is almost impossible that players drove away with the car because I took the ruined tires off. A finder would also have had to look for tires, unless he had tires in his luggage - very unlikely in the southern forests. Will the server automatically place the car somewhere again if it has a damage? How much time do I have to repair a car? Two tires but no car...

This must have been very painful 😉

New try new chance. Here is my new car. It was not my intention to repair a car. But then I found this car on the road near Brena. Gas was very low and spark plug was missing. I dont know why someone stopped and left the car there. May be someone decided to get gas at the gasstation (500 m distance). But you would hide it first, right?

Ok, I have to accept that you dont want me to play this game. After my message I tabbed back to the game and see the message: you re dead! I give up. I have to say: Good bye!

I was looking for a jerry can in Lukow and got tired and logged out. Now when I logged in again I got the same message: Timer prolonged and position might be altered due to server change. The server spawned me at Bielawa now. What is wrong? Why is DayZ fooling around with me. Why is my gaming experience so ruined?

It was the same server, because I use the IP address to filter for my server and I startet not as a bambi. May be it is a failover-ip that was switched to a backup-server because the active server crashed. I dont know how good active server are mirrored.

I logged in same server and I got the following message: Timer prolonged and position might be altered due to server change (95 seconds). The car was in Gieraltow where I logged out hours ago. Now the server spawned me at Lukow. NOT FUNNY!

Hello, I found a car on the road, but it's on the side. It seems someone was driving too fast and lost control. Is it possible to straighten the car up again, like it was possible in the past with the mod version, or will this car accidentally be spawned somewhere in the landscape at the next server restart?

Wouldn't it be possible to implement an alarm system for cars and bases via email, so that players could be informed of attempted break-ins and takeovers if they were not logged in? For example, when I repair and start a car, the system registers that I am the owner with a stored email address. If now another player finds the car and gets into the car, he becomes the owner. But the last owner who used the car e.g. in the last 5 days will receive an info mail. As a former owner I would have the possibility to log in and check if the car is still there. If the car is still there and I don't see anyone, I would assume that the other player will try to get missing items for the car. In the meantime, I would have the option of securing the car, since I usually have the missing parts in my bag. As soon as I get back into the car, I am the owner again, the other player will get a message if he is not logged in. If the thief is still at the location, there would probably be a shooting. And you could do that for a base that is secured with a lock. The one who puts the lock on is the official owner of the base. Should someone succeed in picking the lock or be able to damage the base, the player would also receive an info mail via email. If you are not logged in at the time of the takeover and have no possibility to check the situation, you will at least know from the info mail at what time the takeover happened.

Hello, do admins of a server know your activities? Each time I log in, my newly repaired car is gone! Third time and different places. This cant be possible! I now interpret this as the admin does not want me on the server and I should look for another server. Each time I could repair a car without player contact on a low 60 slot server and it costs me serveral hours to repair a car! But when I log in after a while (yes, I have to sleep and work too), then my hidden car is gone. Absolutely ridiculous!

I ve found first jerry can for next car... 🙂

Where can I find the rules. It s an official server. When I click on the server in the official server list, I just see the settings of the server.

If admins know what you are doing and where you are, they could log in with a character and go to your locations. Maybe I unconsciously annoyed the admin because I found his base, which seemed to be abandoned, and took things with me. And now he wants to annoy me with the cars. I'm gonna give it one more try, otherwise I'm gonna give up. With a car I actually want to explore the whole landscape at last.

Hi, you're not alone. I suggest that you play on a server with few players first, to get to know everything and to try things out. In the beginning I was always on a server with 60 players, where I died, where I didn't even get to see the players. There are these psychopaths out there who seem to really enjoy just wiping lives out. You get more and more careful with time. I am now on a 60 slot server, but always low. I'm currently busy keeping a car for a longer period of time. Although low, two cars have already been stolen from me. I have just put together a new car and hope that my hiding place is better now. But on the server I can walk over big fields with a heavy tire without getting shot down. I don't miss these players at all, it's enough for me to know that someone could suddenly be standing in front of you. The other day I was running towards a city and I look to the right while running. There was a player standing in his shed in front of an oil barrel (it was his base). Apparently he was sorting his equipment in it. I made louder noises with my shoes. He looked up in my direction and ran back and forth. I just kept running. No shooting. This was the only encounter on the server so far. But I always find clues that other players exist when exploring the surroundings. So I stay cautious.

Oh, I only have Livonia, no coast there. And all streams you can see on the map have dried up. There is a river in the north, but I try to explore the map. With little luck I find a pond.

Is it normal that the fishing hook doesn't work that long? I think it breaks down pretty quickly. Okay, once I fished a rusty cooking pot out of a pond. The fishhook was damaged instantly. And in the beginning I had always accidentally fished without bait because I didn't understand how to get a worm on the hook. But even after every time I catch a carp with a bait, the hook seems to wear out quickly. Can the fishing hook be repaired? Or do I have to look for a new one every time. Luckily I had collected three hooks in an oil barrel near a village, because they were more common there. But now I only have one left. Fishing is still my best way to get food. Then another question: how long does a fireplace exist if it has been improved with stones? Only a few hours, or even days? Because you don't get stones together that quickly every time. How is the persistence of a stone oven?

Another problem is the tourist map. Most of the ponds on the map just doesnt exist or may be the pond layer on the map is displaced. If you need to go fishing because food is getting low you get into a emergency situation. For the absolute emergency I always carry a pack of rice with me.

I try to survive by escaping 😉 So even the wolves should not find you if you re sitting in the edge of a one room house at night and dont make any noise.

Can admins change the location of wolves? For two weeks I had no wolves in a peaceful place. Since today I get wolves after every login, even when it rains! And they always find you, no matter how well you hide in the forest in the bush or something. Am I forced to kill the beautiful animals? Edit: When I heard the howling of the wolves again, I fled to a house. It was dark. They couldn't see me or hear me. But they always stayed near the house. Wolves panic me, it must be a genetic thing.

Ok, but I dont like to kill the beautiful wild animals 😞

When I logged in today, I was standing between two fir trees, holding a drybag in my hand. I tried to put the bag down on the floor. Again and again the bag was hanging up in the branches. I already noticed that I was dealing with it for too long and got a restless feeling. Suddenly I heard a muffled noise next to me in the fir. It was the boots of another player. He crept through the undergrowth and found himself in the same big fir tree as I was. Shock! With the bag in my hand I ran through the firs as fast as I could. At one point I stopped shortly to throw the bag off. Then I went to the next fir tree and stood inside, finally with a gun in my hand. I waited to see if the player was following me. Nothing happened for ten minutes. It got darker and misty. Then I saw the player to my right running in the direction he thought I was going. He must have thought that I was running to the ruins of a village. Hey, I faced the situation and did not log out 🙂 But my pulse rate had probably doubled while running away. It's the unexpected moments that make my pulse beat faster. Now I need a heather feather asmr session...

Hello, I have been playing Dayz Livonia for a few days now. The last time I played Dayz was about five years ago. It was still a Dayz Mod and I had lost the desire for it because of the cheat problems. I like DayZ Livonia very much as a re-entry so far. Now I have a question about leaving a server. Am I allowed to leave the server during a player confrontation without losing the character? Earlier I was standing at a big bush to observe a city reasonably protected. Suddenly I got a shock. It felt as if someone was punching me in the neck from behind. I turned around but only saw the bush. At first I thought it might have been a warning because I might have been standing in one place for too long. Then I thought that it could also be a cheater in the invisible Godmod. Then I heard a shot from far away, I could hear the cartridge hitting next to me. I turned around again and could then see a player approaching. Distance estimated 250 m. Because of the DayZ experience of that time my spontaneous reaction was to leave the server immediately. Did I lose my character? I have not logged back in since then. It must have been a sniper with a large sight who could only see me from a distance because details of the plants were hidden. Because actually he didn't have a clear view. A little unfair. The first shot must have been a hit without really hurting me, because I was wearing a light body armour. And maybe the player also used a silencer first. Ok, but is this a legal move? Probably I would have escaped too, if I had run away to hide somewhere.
