Probably the worst take I’ve ever seen. Persistent games are straight garbage when they don’t wipe. Resource hoarding and asset/construction lag becomes abysmal. Sure, it might be fine on a server that sees the same traffic as a dirt road in rural Alabama, but when servers have literally thousands of logins and resource interactions, not to mention the accumulated loot, it’s godawful.

The only way I can play the game is if my Xbox has just been fully shut down and I have not loaded any other games beforehand. If either of these conditions are not met, the game freezes indefinitely on the 'Press A to Start the game' portion of the title screen. This also applies if I have played DayZ earlier. For example, I play DayZ for a little while. Then, I exit the game to eat lunch but leave my Xbox on. If I try to load the game again, it freezes on this screen. The problem has persisted through multiple installs. I am current on all system and game updates (XB1X). Anyone else ever experienced this issue in some capacity?
