Hi, is this what you are looking for? This may help you. 1) I can confirm "Disable Multi Account Mitigation" is now working for community servers on consoles. 2) We are looking into this option but I have no info for now. Seems like those issues: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T172640 https://feedback.bistudio.com/T172637 There should be fix present on the Experimental servers already. If you are on Xbox, you can try it out. Sorry, I don"t understand your question. Could you please elaborate?

Hello Survivors, Nitrado will be conducting server maintenance on our Brazilian servers Date: 14th of June Maintenance starts: 06:00 UTC Maintenance ends: 12:00 UTC During the mentioned time period, a loss of network connectivity is possible for a maximum of 3 minutes. Thank you for your understanding.

Hey Survivors, Spring and the experimental update have come and gone. Now it’s summer all of a sudden and medieval update 1.21 is finally out! We sent our sincerest regards to those who contributed to the update by submitting feedback tickets and bug reports, setting up their own experimental community servers to test out the new assets, and informing the rest of the community about the changes. We hope this update will provide a breath of fresh air to the community’s content creation game. We can already see a glimpse of it this month. Read the full article here.

Dear Survivors, Another maintenance is planned on the US Multiplay servers. Date: 5.6.2023 Start time: 11:00 CEST End time: 15:00 CEST (Expected downtime is ~4 hour) Affected servers

Dear Survivors We will be conducting server maintenance on the US Multiplay servers below. Date: 31st of May - 1st of June 2023 Start time: 11:30 AM CEST End time: 12:30 PM CEST (Expected downtime is ~1 hour) Affected servers 31.5. 1.6. Canceled

Hi, this is already being looked into.👍 Which offline server do you mean? If you mean the mods, the best is to check with the owners. Hi, would you have a ticket number that I could look into?

"theoretically" - I won't go any further as you wrote it yourself. What you think is written there is actually not written there. I can also say that the "open world sandbox online game" explains the wipes... DayZ is not a perfect game, but it's a unique one. Once again, I appreciate your feedback and will continue reading it, but maybe try to believe that the developers love the game as much as you do and they want the game to be better. And If some things are not the way you want, that is normal. And that is also why the devs keep doing the changes based on feedback because we all know that what one thinks is the best for the game may not be the best for the game, and every piece of feedback is evaluated, but changes can't be done based on individual opinion. That is why we are testing internally and publicly and evaluating feedback during the testing phase and after stable release.

Dear Survivors, After conducting a thorough assessment of our servers, we have determined that a full wipe is necessary in conjunction with the release of the 1.21 Update on our official servers. We understand that this may be an inconvenience to our players, but this action will facilitate essential central economy changes. It is important to note that the wipe is not mandatory for Community servers. Thank you for your understanding. EDIT: We are happy to announce that the release date for the 1.21 update across all platforms will be on the 23rd of next week.

Hi, you got a couple of answers here already. I don't think there is a need to explain any further. The issue I see here is that you have a different vision and understanding of the game than the devs. That is OK; even the player base is divided when it comes to many other things. We need to stay open-minded. The devs do what they believe is best for the game. And they mainly use players' feedback for that. You don't mind pole in a tent... well, plenty of people would mind. And the issues would be way more significant than this. It's "slightly" different to run a community server or create a mod from actually developing the game. I read a lot of your posts, and I am sorry there is so much you are unhappy about. But I do appreciate you keep playing the game. I guess you do it because it keeps you happy, not to torture yourself. We also appreciate the feedback, but we need to do what is better for most players, not to do things based on individual opinions. I wish people would come and join the team to see for themselves. You say it kills the lore of the game, we say it gives it a fresh start.
