Riddick_2K

Hello. Sorry to hear your problems, it reminds me of what I went through with ArmA3 (and I haven't solved it yet, but abandoned... at the moment). What I can assure is that I too have been a PC user since 1991 with DOS 3.3 and I hate forced updates. For me, the best S.O. of M$ was W2K. WXP was not bad ... but other than that, every time I updated it was just out of necessity ... but I don't want to do a novel about it. At the moment I still use "happily" (after all it's not a bad S.O., when you know a little bit) Windows 7 Pro x64, without anti virus and firewall (I abandoned them many years ago, if you know how to fix your PC and how to use it, they are not really essential. I have NEVER caught a virus or trojan that is one). On DayZ it works regularly ... with "usual" defects of DayZ, of course; every now and then it freezes on startup because "DirectX" breaks down and it's a problem to kill the process because it blocks my mouse (but I can do it from the keyboard, I always open "resource manager")... sometime it just doesn't start and I have to try again... 40% of the time I get to the game I have the brightness locked to the minimum and the contrast "shot", I have to do a procedure to unlock the bar and the contrast and get back a "visible" game , and all the defects of the game, of course ... but it works "regularly" (let's say) on W7x64pro. I have NEVER opened any port to the PC (I disabled the firewall immediately as soon as the OS was installed) not even to the router. Only when I start my personal server and I want to let someone in, I open the router ports directed to l gaming PC. Also this with the "usual" defects of DayZ, because it is NOT visible in the Community window, but I have to provide the IP for direct access, otherwise no one can access it ... and this is annoying because dedicated hardware is a lot best of all the suppliers I have tried so far. But if I can't show it to the outside, it's pretty much unmanageable as a "public server". What I can suggest, which is what I had thought for try to "fix" ArmA3, is to change S.O. and go to W10. But I haven't had time to do it yet and I don't know if, at least in my case, it could be decisive. But when you try everything and you know that, in any case, it works for many others, you only think of an "unfortunate" combination of Hardware, S.O. and drivers. Try changing something of this combination. For Drivers it's easier. S.O. it's much more "annoying" as well as time-consuming ... Hardware is very expensive. For this I would try the easiest and cheapest thing first: change driver version... all. Then, if it didn't work, try another S.O. (I found a W10 license for little money. The problem is that it's a shitty OS for so many reasons, and from what I see it will get worse and worse with "spy drivers / services", forced updates, etc). But if you want to try using DayZ (like me with ArmA3) maybe this is the last resort. Best wishes 😉 P.S. Sorry for my bad english, but I must use Google 🙁 P.S.2 A suggestion, even if "trivial" (if you know how to use PCs you will already know it): Use a "test" HD and take an image of the partition with the OS, driver and game with some software like "Ghost" (I use a version 11 which is fine). It saves you a ton of time if the test you did doesn't work and you have to go back to the starting situation for another test. Maybe it can also be a useful suggestion to other "less experienced" PCs

Just to add the conclusion of the story. The next day it was all as if nothing had happened. The server in question had resumed working as before. Boh?!? This is also "DayZ"... 😶

As in the title. I've been playing for a while on an official server in Bohemia, and tonight I can't log in due to this error: Connection failed (0x0002000C) From DZSA I see that it is populated and has low ping. I also did a "ping -t" from the console and it's always low and constant (45 & 46 ms constant indefinitely), so it's not a hardware or network problem. And I see others play with it. Does it happen to anyone else too? Do you know if there is a system to fix the problem? Thanks for any news/suggestions. P.S. I DON'T try other Official servers because I don't want to lose the spawn point... at the moment I need to stay there. And the only modded I've been playing lately is dead.

All this lucubrations about network, latency, ISP, etc... is just hot air. The question is very simple: Do you also have these problems with other video games? YES = You have a crap PC or network. NO = DayZ is shit. I wrote it "raw", but that's the gist of things. Then it would also be so much to quibble about the "personal server" (run on the same PC, so should go perfect if all the problems were "only" the network, but NOT run "perfect", just because the "problem" is DayZ, NOT "only the network" ! ), but I don't feel like it right now. Maybe in a few days I'll add a link to a post on this topic I made in another thread, but I don't have time to look it up right now.

I've never seen wolves attack the Zs, on the contrary... I remember having them outside the house, wolves and Zs, all interested only in me... Instead I often saw the Zs chasing cows or goats... and sometimes I had to kill the Zs in order to then kill and eat some animals. DayZ is a very fun game, but it's done poorly and with feet (to be nice). 🙁

OK... I often forget, I also (still) have a second account. Only "NL 366.38.55" won't let me in, not even with the 2nd account. While "SA-SP 6452" I access normally and play, even if with a high ping... This server PING story should also be resolved once and for all... as hardware ("ping -t" from PC console) I always ping much less and it is stable, not a dancer. In DayZ the pings are always higher and dancers and every now and then I get kicked for pings over 500/600 on European servers where as Hardware I ping 50/60 maximum. And now, too, the servers that are "unresponsive" at all... What a mess of a game, man... 🙄

Official bohemian servers or modded community servers? If they are community modded, probably a problem with mods or game file settings, you should talk to whoever manages the server. If it's an "official" server Vanilla could: If it's heavily populated be a cheater with ESP . If it is sparsely populated (but by now, since the "Public/Veterans" have closed, they are all full... ) it could also be a "strange" bug. To me, personally, until now, in an "official" one, I have always found my barrels submerged. Now I'm returning to one of these for verification, maybe in a few days, I'll update you... but I'm not aware of any "bugs" about it. Not to such a widespread extent (maybe one by accident... but 4 in a row seems strange to me). I too would be curious about other experiences of other players on this topic...

Hello. I don't know if it can answer your question, but read what I wrote about a similar problem Read this (https : //forums.dayz.com/topic/252172-dedicated-server-hosting-requirements/?do=findComment&comment=2478554 )

You are a "fake" account in the pay of the B.I. or are you really convinced of what you are writing? If the first is true: ha ha ha... 😕 If the second is true: I recommend a visit to a "good" psychiatrist or "detox" from video games, they have a bad effect on you... 😕

In the update notes it says: "The player can now drown when submerged for too long" Since I don't understand English and I have to use Google (which is painful), I wanted to make sure it was just like I understood: if you spend too much time in the water you can drown.

But ... did I get it wrong or now you can't swim for more than a certain time or do you die? If so, can't "Debug Island" be attempted anymore?!? Is it correct or I misunderstood?

I don't like Livonia. I played on a server with "Banov" (similar), but I don't like that either, I miss a bit of the sea and I miss the Alps, like behind where I live. Deer Isle is a good map, but a lot depends on the server what MOD's puts in and how it's set up.

Thank you But they put a lot of effort into trying to ruin this "wretch" of the game... With absolutely useless and unrealistically stupid things... 😡

I had read that it was enough to leave well full of food and water with firefighter clothes that are warm and waterproof and what you carried in your backpack was to prepare for the return swim. I never did, but I had it planned. Now, if I understand correctly, you can not stay long in the water that you drown or die of cold? I got it right?

Watch this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1597140327 Winter Chernarus is beautiful. Unfortunately the "vanilla base" version, as we all know, is what it is, luckily there are MODs that fix the game and add what is missing. Unfortunately, many servers abuse it, but it's also a matter of taste. The situation of DayZ is this, unfortunately get over it, grit your teeth and move on... I don't see other alternatives. Find a "decent" server using this mod or open one in person and hope other players like it too. I, in my spare time, am following the second one, and this mod is one that I would like to use... when I have also fixed the rest (without a "mall" style trader, in DayZ the objects are searched for the map!)

I hope those ridiculous, out of context and almost immortal mummies are ONLY for Halloween and disappear forever after! 🙄

I am trying to play in an official server "NL 366.38.55" but it is impossible: lag, disconnections and, every now and then, it kicks many players in groups. In the evening with the server almost full, almost everyone kicks and I find myself with the server that was 50 players turned into 5 players and very long lines to return. Then, often, when returning, it kicks due to too high latency, and it is a problem with the server NOT on my line. I had seen these problems before in DayZ, but never as serious as after this patch. Some servers where I played before, in America, I had a ping between 140 and 220... always playable, now I see them over 350. I keep seeing that I take every path the game gets worse and worse... 😠 P.S. A note. If I do the "tracert" from the PC I arrive at the server in 10 jumps with 44ms. The "problem" is NOT with the hardware server or packet routing, but with the game itself... 😡

The apotheosis of uselessness

Why not ?!? At least one vehicle that works decently. Have you ever tried the others? Are you old to drive? Have you ever driven a real vehicle? Did you realize the difference between real vehicles and these crap in the game (little power, little torque, no wheel grip, absurd gear ratios, etc.) I would be curious to see a Hummer going uphill on a lawn, if it really works like reality.

And a small electronic circuit in stand-by does not consume much, in my opinion, for a month, a charged 9v battery would be enough. Maybe it wears out more with each opening/hatching. Car/truck batteries and wire ropes can be used if desired Then it's "just a game", isn't it? With all the unrealistic absurdities that have been made (unusable tents and fences in the woods, exaggerated consumption of everything, backpacks that cannot be filed when full, etc...) this would be the "minimum wage" for this game.

But that's right. Who would ever dream of punching a person with a gun? A drug addict or a kamikaze. Already this game is a hodgepodge of illogical and unrealistic bullshits and absurdity, let's not add any more, come on ... In any case, a lot should depend on the caliber of the shot. From a .22 it is logical to expect it to pass through the body without serious consequences (except taking vital organs or the brain), a .357 is logical to expect severe damage and shock even if taken to an arm or leg. And don't tell me "it's just a game and we need balance", that this is just the classic excuse to try to justify some bullshit that spoils the immersion in the game!

Hi. If the problem was reinstalling everything but you didn't want to delete your previous installation, it would have been enough to clone the partition to another HD. I use 2 different PCs: 1 x daily activities and the 2nd for games. Even 2 different HDs on the same PC can do the job. it's a good habit that I learned with Windows 98 / Windows NT4 Workstation and even now that I only use W7x64, I always keep the 2 different uses separate, and also for games, I have + HD for different games. I know it may sound complicated and expensive, but it protects you for cases like this. Sorry to suggest it late, but I hope it will be useful to others in the future too.

This is the best place where (maybe) you will find the solution. Best wishes. I, with ArmA3, have not found solutions anywhere ... https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/2/

I saw the video... very interesting like most of the Wobo videos. Always the same story, with the patches, since I started playing in 2020: they fix something, they break something else, they add uselessness and the main flaws remain as always. 😠 The B.I. is a "rock" of uselessness and incompetence... 😔

I saw in the server browser that all Public/Veteran servers hosted by GameServers.com will be closed and never updated to 1.19. Can anyone tell me why? Or a link that explains it? Thank you
