    My Car Experience

    [There's a lot of text with criticism at the end] Meanwhile I only play on a little visited 60 slot server (always low). There were just too many assholes on the road who hate life and just kill everything that comes their way, even if you show that you are not interested in conflict. I want to be fair: there was actually one player who asked at our encounter: are you friendly? Thanks, these players still exist... On the new server, after some time, I found an Olga 24 at a base in a small village. But this base seemed to be abandoned, because nothing was locked and many wooden boxes were lying around. Three tires of the car were ruined, probably shot, one tire, battery, radiator and spark plug were missing. I decided to repair the car. This took a lot of time and food. I had to walk over 2 km every time for one tire, of course interrupted by rain showers again and again! The tank was still filled with about 40% gasoline, radiator about 75%, I thought! Then came the big moment: I started the ignition for the first time. The engine was running! Carefully put back and put the car on the road. In the past you had to be careful in the mod version that the server did not simply "correct" the position of the car while driving and you suddenly hit an obstacle. I drove the first meters, but the engine symbol already turned yellow. Why that? I drove slowly on the road. Since it was very dark and I was driving slowly without any light, I didn't notice the smoke from the engine that bad. Only when the engine symbol changed to orange I got the idea that something was seriously wrong with the cooling. So I poured two bottles of water into the radiator. Then I started the engine again and drove a few meters. The engine symbol changed to red, I braked immediately. Still not enough water? I left the car on the road and drove back to the village, where there was also a well to fill up the bottles again. Back to the car again and put the two bottles of water into it. Then I remembered that I also needed water for myself. So back to the well to fill up the bottles again. When I came back to the place with the car, the car was gone! And of course all my things I had put into the trunk! 😕 Red probably means "engine damaged" and there is only little time left to save things from the trunk. In another session I started again in a city to collect items. This time I also collected things for a car in advance in the assumption that I will find a new one again someday, so that I don't have to start searching when I get to see a car again. And indeed, after several hours, instead of a scrap car, there was an Ada 4x4 at a farm house. This time only a tire and a canister had to be found. And this time I filled up the radiator completely with a found canister! But the water level indicator seems to be mirror-inverted. When the radiator is full of water, the indicator is at 0 and not at 100. Or does the pointer show the temperature? But you could have thought that it is the amount of water that is displayed. Because in a car that stands for days, the water cannot have a high temperature! That's why I thought with the first car, it's the water quantity of 75% and not the temperature. From my "base", I had the opportunity to drive up and down a stretch of road between two cities and side roads to become familiar with how to control the car. I also found a shed where I could park the car, where I thought that the car would not be found so quickly. The next day the car was already stolen. When leaving the server I always took out the spark plug to make it not so easy for a finder. Small comfort were my buried wooden boxes with spare parts for a car. I wanted to check what actually happened to the places where I had found the two cars, whether there was a scrap car there or the area remained empty. When I came back to the village where I found the first car, I suddenly saw another car standing in the forest, but not far away from the road. It was a Civilian Sedan. But the car was standing so strangely between the trees that I asked myself: how did the driver manage to park the car here undamaged? The car was fully roadworthy. Nothing important was missing, the tyres were all ok. Huh? I lose a finished car and in the same session I find a new finished car elsewhere? Is the server going crazy? But there were items in the trunk of the Sedan that another player must have collected. Maybe an overtired player had parked the car there at night and didn't know what it looked like there during the day. But maybe it was also a player from the abandoned base? I might go there and wait to see if the base was abandoned after all. I took the car to my "base". I will check if it is still there 🙂 Letz play car sharing ... But there is one criticism I have to get rid of: why is driving the cars so uncomfortable even on paved roads? First, it sounds as if the cars have no shock absorbers. It rumbles again and again with loud basses. And then, what I think is really bad: the visibility wobbles too much while driving and even when stopping the car the screen just doesn't stand still! It makes me really dizzy! Is this intentional to make car driving harder than it should be or is it just not getting better? Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

    dayz tries to burn your cpu?

    Today a flat temperature line after login (observed zombies and players fighting each other, room temperature 27°C) Thanks for disabling the cpu burner!
  3. The CPU temperature rises for about 10 seconds every 40 seconds after a login. My 5900X reaches up to 75°C because the 3 CPU fans are already rotating at 80% of maximum power. That's really annoying. It doesn't even matter what you're doing in the game. You can also just stand still in a closed shed or whatever, the calculations that the CPU has to perform don't match the gameplay at all! I have to assume that there is another intention behind this. These calculations are also carried out again a few minutes later, but no measurements have been taken here. During the game, my CPU fans (iCue H150i Pro XT) usually only run at 40% power and I can hardly hear them. So, what is happening in the background? Is the CPU being misused for other things?

    DayZ is a tech demo not a game

    Survival game against cheaters. Are the developers really so stupid or is it really impossible to detect and ban cheaters for ever? This game should be renamed "Who is the best cheater" Why do developers of hacks feel so secure and create entire websites with hack offers? Sometimes I think the developers of the game are the hack developers themselves, because you can make more money with them than with the actual game.

    dayz tries to burn your cpu?

    Here is the temperature curve of my cpu since dayz login. The yellow rectangle shows the rising temperature about 40 seconds after login. In the bios settings I adjusted the fans so that it only begins to increase rpm from 40% to 80% at 70°C - 75°C. That's why I noticed it and I'm wondering what it's all about, because it doesn't fit in with the game at all. My system is not overclocked and I only play at 60fps in full hd. During the rest of the line, I was sitting in a bush. When I use Cinebench23 max temperature is 62°C. So this calculations in the game are aggressive.

    dayz tries to burn your cpu?

    Now the sudden and inappropriate CPU load is around 120 seconds. It can therefore be adjusted on the server side. Obviously they are trying to cover up the scam. The best thing to do is to turn this crap off completely.

    Your game is BROKEN!

    But the netcode is indead a bug. When a server is empty or very low you can drive a car like on rails. But as soon as a handful of players are on the server, driving becomes very unpleasant and bumpy. As soon as you get in as a driver, the car starts dancing on the spot, even though the engine hasn't started yet. And then the server always slows down the car or wants to correct the position, just to keep it in sync and to give players nearby the real position of the car. But this synchronization obligation makes driving a car a pain.

    You are dead!

    I drove my car slowly over a level crossing in Topolin. The car lay on its side. Then it seemed to explode: You're dead! Speed may be was at 20 km/h. But I know that it is possible to cross it with 50 km/h without problems. But a moment before I ran over some zombies with my car. Instant karma? Sometimes I have the impression that I'm playing against a server admin in the background, who sees exactly what you're doing (screencopy-forwarding) and can create events at the push of a button with a tool: "Car rollover and explosion", "Let car drive against an obstacle", "Get car off the road.", "Bring six wolves in without howling", "Let it rain for one hour", "Let the player just die for no reason", "Send an invisble speed hack bear, but bear roars, just one hit for unconsciousness" etc.

    You are dead!

    And you don't know why! I left a dearstand to go back to huta, sun set almost dark. No shot, no player. My body armor (press) had the status prestine. You suddenly see the message you re dead. The message "you re dead" with the black screen is fraud! I want an explanation: You were shot by the player ... You re killed by a bear trap, mine or granade. Something like that. And I want back the dead animation. Falling down to ground, slowly losing the consciousness to have a chance to see there was a player or smoke from detonation.

    Your game is BROKEN!

    No, your communication to the server is broken. Try another server with low ping. DayZ always tries to be synchron with the server. When I get a "bug" you discribe I leave the server and relog again. This can happen sometime. Last time I was running on the road when another player with car drove by and stopped to give me a ride to the next town. But first he got out to axt some zombies. When he tried to enter the car again, he couldnt interact with the car any more. He logged out and came back after some time. He could enter the car again.

    Start parameters obsolet?

    My first observation was not entirely correct. Certain parameters are being ignored. But I can actually use the task manager to determine how many cores the program can use. I have now set it so that Core 0 should remain free for the system. Process priority to high. This is also indicated by the workload display in Afterburner. I no longer use the parameters "-cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxMem=8192 -maxVRAM=2047 -malloc=system". The workload is now distributed over 5 cores (50%-70%). Actually the game seems to be quite well optimized by now, otherwise it seems to be smooth. But is there any info about whether the game will be optimized for Dx12 to benefit from more "draw calls"? Or doesn't that make sense because the game remains rather cpu intensive?

    Start parameters obsolet?

    Hello, I would like to know if the following start parameters are still usefull for dayz sa. I ve found them on other sites. The reason why I was testing them out, is, that the game stutters sometime, when it loads items or zombies into game. So I thought that may be the amount of threads is not optimal for my old system. My system is: Win 10 pro, CPU i7 3930K @ 3,8 (6 core, HT disabled), 16 GB RAM, GTX 980 4 GB vRAM, game installed on Crucial SSD 1 TB, virtual memory on a non system ssd fixed size. My start parameters are: -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxMem=8192 -maxVRAM=2047 -malloc=system -noBenchmark -noLogs -noSplash -noPause Today I ve installed MSI afterburner and I could see that dayz is always using all cores and more RAM / vRAM than I tried to limit with the start parameters. In the taskmanager I even have disabled core 0 and 1 for the dayz_x64.exe, but no change. I tried to limit the core use just to keep two core free for the os and other stuff. Are the parameters outdated and not used by dayz anymore?

    You are dead!

    This type of "hacker" death is not the first time on this server. It usually happens on Saturdays. I use just two server only, one low player and one high player 60 slot official server. I wonder why this server is often occupied despite the hackers. Hackers are a great nuisance and yet the players are not driven away. This server is usually very busy. I switched back to this server after a long time, because it got a bit boring on the other server with the small number of players. The official servers are not maintained by admins, right? So it is not possible that an admin does not want me on this server?

    My new friend is a hacker.

    The developers of the game are the hackers themselves. I have received confirmation of this today. I have really good hiding places. However, yesterday I found out that a hacker has stolen items from my boxes again, even though it was impossible to find them! I therefore moved yesterday. I hid all the crates somewhere else in a 2 km distance by car. And only a few hours later the car is gone and a whole lot of the items. On a server with only a handful of players! I would like to warn everyone and ask them not to invest more time in this game! This game belongs on the scrap heap!
  17. He found my base, consisting of a car and wooden boxes in the dense forest in the south. That could have been a coincidence. But I think he gave himself away by replacing my assault boots in a wooden box with Bambie sport shoes that were "pristine"! My base is located somewhere in the southern forests. The Bambie shoes should have been at least " worn" status. I think he teleported there directly. He stole my car and some items from my wooden crates that seemed important to him. My new friend is funny, too. I had all the wooden boxes moved and also buried. Because of higher grass I could not recognize them from a short distance. Again he found all the wooden boxes and dug them up, left them there and took some utensils with him. With this he makes me understand that it is not worthwhile to bury the crates, because he will find them anyway. Boots were also replaced by simple shoes again. He doesn't take everything, but only the useful items, because he is too lazy to go looking for them himself after a death. I always wonder why I often find empty wooden crates outside of seemingly abandoned bases during my hikes. Nobody leaves wooden crates lying there unburied. But hackers also find the buried wooden crates. I have now hidden my crates somewhere else once again. If he finds them again, I won't use any more crates either. I have already given up cars, because first of all driving is the absolute torture and secondly they are found quickly. Well, then there's not much more to do than to play the game as death match. But I have not seen my new friend yet.

    My Car Experience

    I decided to make a big tour with my car today. When I passed Kolembrody I saw a Bambi fighting with zombies. I drove by them slowly. I heard his voice: "Hey, please wait." I stopped to pick him up. He had only fought the zombies with his fists. He got in and I drove off. He asked me to bring him to Topolin. ok, Topolin was on my way 🙂 But I had to stop, he was bleeding. He had to put on bandages. At Brena there was a big base on the road blocking the "traffic". I had to take a detour. Finally we arrived in Topolin. When I stopped to let him get out, we were already being shot from behind. So I had to accelerate again. The rear and front windows were shot, but we were not wounded. I drove on for 300 meters, stopped and he could jump out. He said: "Thank you, you re a good person"! 🙂 I drove on and came through Zalesie. I saw only one Zombie running behind my car and I couldnt say if the Zombie was already there because of me or of another player. When I left the village I stopped to check the damages. A rear car tire was heavily damaged. Of course I had repair kit in the trunk. The shooter in Topolin had also tried to shoot the tires. When the tire was fixed, someone fired at me. The first shot missed. My reflex was to get into the car and drive off. When starting the engine, the other player hit me. I died. Not fair, is it? 🙂 Well, it won't be my last car. Maybe it would have been better to pick up a gun and shoot too. The car could have covered me.

    Oh no, I died in my base. I forgot to log out when writing the last message and I had a real meal after that. It seems as if it started raining again in the meantime, which then led to an undercooling. Stupid me...

    My Car Experience

    Wow, new car made a somersault on the road, when I wanted to start a tour. Front tires, hood, one front side door ruined, radiator damaged. Is it possible to repair a radiator? I found a description of someone who fixed it with epoxy in the past. But it doesnt work.
  21. slowfast70

    My Car Experience

    Don't you think that the developers are overdoing it a bit with the damage to the car? I've had to leave two cars behind in the meantime. I started to lurch with both cars and as luck would have it, one of them ended up exactly at a road sign. I was still able to brake down to about 10-15 km, but I couldn't prevent the collision. But then both front tires, the hood, the radiator and the front doors were ruined. The road sign however did not get a scratch. A bit exaggerated for the fact that it can take quite a long time to get all the parts for a car together, right? When I had to sit out a rain in a damaged car, two players drove past and stopped. To be on the safe side, I ran away despite the heavy rain. But then they could take all the spare parts and utensils. They must have laughed their heads off when they saw me in the car in front of the road sign. But maybe they had some pity, because the car was still there and wasn't missing that much.

    My Car Experience

    Hello, I have to fix a new car, because somebody killed me when passing the checkpoint between Gieraltow and Wrzeszc. When the player fired at me, the car was directed against the sandbags and I could not get out... I have to ask again about the rules for repairing a car to prevent the server from not placing the car somewhere else after a restart. I had found a car and I only had to find a tire and the radiator to get the car ready to drive. After that I drove the car into a forest and then went to the next village to look for a fuel canister, because the fuel gauge was in the red area. I searched for a long time and came also back to the place where I repaired the car. There was the same car again! So I went back to the forest where I had actually parked the car and the car was actually not there anymore! In the meantime the server had reset the car after a restart. Why? There was only little fuel in the car and the doors, hood and trunk lid were missing. But otherwise everything was ok, no damages! Please look at the following picture with another car. I had parked this car there about three days ago and used all spare parts for another car with less damage. Here all tires are missing, battery, spark plug, radiator. The hood and the driver's door are ruined! So, why does the server leave this car on the picture there and put the car I made ready to drive today back to its origin place (without radiator)??? I just can't figure out what must not be missing or broken to not lose the car through the server.

    My Car Experience

    I am back with car. This was really a hard tour to get a car. I even walked from Topolin, Zalesie, Polana, Nadbor and had fight with wolfs. They always wound you and ruin your clothes. And the zombies seem to be stronger now with better KI. At different places I used wooden crates to store items temporaly. Now I am driving a tour to collect the crates. Here I use one headlight only Sometimes the car rolls over for no apparent reason. So I always drive slowly. And when the message appears: No message received within x seconds, then I brake immediately and wait. Maybe a synchronization is possible again. But what really is annoying is this constant rumbling while driving, as if the car has no shock absorbers.

    How to craft wooden crate?

    Here the girl Jasgaba explains how to craft a wooden crate (YT-Link). You just need to take the planks into your hands and combine the nails.
  25. One player shot at me but he did not hit me because I was running with fast directional changes. But the zombies didn't run to him, they ran to me. Among these zombies was a player as Bambi, who led the zombies and brought them to me again and again, estimated with triple speed. I had no chance. Seems that the free weekend brings also back the cheater 😕 And the guy who shot at me was the same player in terms of clothing, who kindly gave me two pieces of steak about 15 minutes before, when I mentioned at the first encounter that there was no food at all in the village. I think he wanted his steaks back. But I had already roasted and eaten them, because I was starved 🙂
