Ok let me fill you in since you joined this forum less then a month ago. I'm going to assume you just recently joined in with us playing DayZ and did not play back in the mod. This is all pretty par for the course when dealing with Bohemia and Battle-eye and those of us who have been here for a while are pretty clear on the scenario. About every patch on mod there was a big hacking influx and no amount of griping to Bohemia fixed it. Back then this was Dean Halls baby and for a while it was great. The truth is everything you do with Bohemia is pointless. Getting with Battle-eye about the issue is a waste of your time because in the off chance someone reads your email they're probably not going to do anything. I'm not trying to come down on you or make fun of you. I'm not trying to tell you to stop emailing all these people or fighting against the unbeatable foe, you do you man. I am just trying to save you some time, effort, and heart ache If you want to do all that and continue to scream while you game on public servers, by all means. I will still get up and go to bed on the left side of my bed and sleep like I'm dead. When you're ready to take matters into your own hands however I would tell you, try out private servers. Your choice man.

Why would it being 2020 have anything to do with people finding ways to hack a game? What, did we suddenly hit a completely different phase of human existence in which humanity finally realized it's more fulfilling to play a game correctly instead of allowing an easy out? No? Didn't think so. World of Warcraft has been out for 15 years and to this day there are people who look for ways to exploit the game, run bots that farm items for them, and glitch their way into areas they're not supposed to be. It's not a DayZ thing, it's a human being thing, so give the Devs a break. They're not saints, but they can't put an end all solution in the game that will solve this that hackers won't find a way to get around. As for your second problem of being unable to find a server that's good? They're out there but it honestly depends on what you're looking for. Here, shameless plug to the one i'm currently playing on and promoting. The population is low, but the admin puts a lot of heart into this server and to be honest, i'll stick around just for that. It's hard to find an active community server and an admin that listens to his community on things like what mods to add, what mods to keep off, and what needs to be tweaked. Shameless plug for my home server of seven players: 185.175.139.106:2302 (The HardCoreZ - Hosted by Hellshammers.net) Ok, firstly let's address this statement right here. DayZ endgame is what you make of it. Bases are not really an end game thing, they're a time sink. Not everyone wants to build a base and run around with freaking Devils Castle fortified and locked down. Cars are more of a mid game and again, they're not a requirement for you to experience the 'end game' however they do make the base building much easier, so i'd say they go hand in hand. End game in DayZ is literally whatever you want to make it and that's the beauty of a sandbox game. If you want to be a nomad and roam around killing people and taking their stuff, go do it. If you want to set up a tent somewhere and live like a hermit in the woods, then go do it. If you want to be a rescue ranger and hop from server to server trying to save people and keep them alive, do it. I'm going to give a shout-out to the modding community here. They're doing Gods work. Most games that run these days actually get things added to them through the modding community that the Developers will not or can not add themselves. This isn't just a DayZ issue, it's just how it is. With that said, you might want to look into the modding community for some of the things you're looking for because they're out there. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3ZkoTyek3c&feature=emb_logo 2. https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1656458568 3. There's a mod for this, I just can't for the life of me find it. 4. I know other people have had them but I personally in the entire time I have played this game (which has been since release) have never had a flying car issue before. One of my Aussie friends goes under ground when he gets out of a vehicle, but I don't. His car bounces sometimes, mine does not. We've chalked this up to his latency versus mine because that's the only explanation for the problem and the differences. 5. Again, we don't have this issue since they fixed it in 1.06(ish)? I literally hide my cars in static buildings such as barns and while previously those bastards would glitch out and go airborne, lately, no complaints. 6. I'm going to be blunt. If you don't like this, try a modded server. There are mods that fix this. Until the time you choose to fix the problem yourself it's going to remain. That's not really fair to the Developers by any means at all. Why would you expect a game developer to personally acknowledge your statements on any medium? Furthermore, why would you get upset when they didn't acknowledge you at all? I mean that's striking below the belt considering you asked them for an Official statement when all you've done is purchase their game. That's a bit pretentious if I may say so myself.

Working as intended. Every server has a finite amount of weaponry, equipment, and other items on it. Every single item currently looted counts towards the CLE. It literally says this in the code. So if I go loot an M-4 from the northwest airfield the server says - Ok, this player has this item, I can only spawn X more of the item until we're at the cut-off. Not every item on the server has a count, but a lot of them do. These counts go for things like Inventory, hoard, etc. So if you've got two M4's, and ones in a tent, and you're carrying another, then that's two M4's the server will not spawn again. With all of that said, I am not entirely sure how public servers work in regards to loot counting because all the experience I have with it is being an admin of a private server. It could work one of two ways. 1. It keeps a count of every single player ID on the server and their inventory when they log-out and all the equipment that counts towards the CLE will do so or 2. Public servers don't count those items towards the CLE. I'm less inclined to believe the second theory because you said you're having difficulty finding equipment. Yes, it does suck. It's actually one of the main reasons i play exclusively on private servers however in that case sometimes it worse rather then better. With that being said, there will always be weaponry on the server because things like SKS doesn't really have a limit, I think. Always remember, every gun in the game can kill someone and in some cases do it more effectively. Shotguns in close quarters are very effective and the SKS can/will kill someone just as easily as an M4, AK, AKM, etc.

Did you play Arma 2 DayZ? I did. You know the one thing I absolutely loved about Arma 2 DayZ? The subtle and quiet music that was constantly playing in the background. Yes, you could turn it off, but to me it was that add immersion that kicked the game up a level. Coming around the corner to find a dead body and that perfectly time sound went off at the same time really amped things up. Unfortunately, as many of you are aware, we lost that when we went to Standalone. Yes we get an intro song (which, I personally hate) but nothing in game. Would you like it back? Well, no worries! This is a re-re-re-upload of this file. I'm sure it's been slammed down on these forums multiple times, but it's been a minute since i've seen it up here myself. So without further waste of your precious time. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3fYbcd0o2u2MDdtbkk1bFQ2VEE/view?usp=sharing How does this work? Very simple. Copy the entire folder to your computer, and then, put the entire folder in a media player of your choice. I personally use Win-amp because it just works so well. With all the files uploaded on your media player put your settings like this. Repeat : On (all if you're using winamp) Playlist Shuffle : On Now the file itself already has short blank files in it, this will cause separation in your music playing and not constantly loop it. With random being on, you may get a sound, or you may get a blank file. This keeps the sounds fresh and long silent spots just like in the mod. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

So we're currently playing on a new server (well old, but new to us) and we've encountered very few guns on the server as a whole. We gather that this is because someone is hoarding loot on the server but we were curious about a couple of things. Does the game keep up with every single weapon, say an M4A1 in the inventory of players on and offline and use that to determine the spawn rates of the CLE? I understand that hoarding can adjust the gun spawns, but do offline players do so or only online?

Two mods that absolutely ruin things for me and my friends who are looking for a new server. 1. Trader (This destroys servers man, it becomes less about finding that exceptional piece of loot and more about hoarding things so you can sell it to get that one piece of loot). 2. Unlimited Stamina.(Stamina brought a lot to the game, judging your carry capacity versus how mobile you wanted to be. Unlimited stamina really takes away from that and gives people the ability to lag all over the place.) If those two things were removed and if the server time acceleration was 0x, we'd consider it. For now, we're just waiting.

A server address would be nice. Possibly some way to get on the server, it's not showing up in Standalone Launcher under The Road RP. No IP makes it hard to come on your server.

Your discord link is invalid

It is now day 2, and as a large surprise to me the population of the server is growing. Most of the people say they come for the story and the background it offers their character. Other say they come for the lack of Mods mucking things up and a vanilla experience. A few questions I want to put down here that were answered to the new comers: 1. The server is currently set to United States EST. 2. There is a day/night cycle. 3. Yes, it is a roleplay server but we do not force you to have silly rules regarding PvP. If your character wants to be a mass murdering sociopath, go right ahead, as long as you have a story for why you're doing this. 4. The Bear MUST be carried with you at all times, you can not drop it. Your character is compelled to carry it. If you have any other questions for me, feel free to drop them here or join the discord and ask and I will happily take the time to talk with you about it, the server, or anything else related. Thanks for reading, hope to see you soon!

https://discord.gg/7dpYXFN Have you ever wanted to play on a server that wasn't Chernarussian, United States Military, and Bandits? Have you ever wanted to play on a server where the admin is active, friendly, outgoing, and tries his best to make his community work? Have you ever wanted to play a character that you built from the ground up and didn't have a backstory to fall on? Then give us a try. The Lost is a new roleplay server recently created in which you, the player, are left on a spot of land, brainwashed, without any idea of where you are. You start with nothing on you except one item, a bear, and this bear compels you to want to keep it for whatever reason. The bear is the reason for your living, you know you will surely die without the bear. It doesn't have weapons, food, water or even a function outside of moral support but you know it's value is beyond measure. You're not sure how you know this, did you read it somewhere? Did someone tell you? Is it a memory in the back of your mind? Did the bear tell you? Are you going insane? All of these questions are entirely up to you, and the way your story goes depends on how you the player choose to take it. We support no rules other then honest, 100% organic roleplay. Organic roleplay is the ability of the player to roleplay (or play) however they see fit. We have no KoS rules, you may do so if it's in character for you. You may murder, thieve, destroy, plunder, make friends, help others, start a group of people to help those around you. ALL OF THIS is entirely up to you, and there's nothing stopping you except you starting, today. With a recent wipe of the server all previous characters, equipment hoards, bases, vehicles, etc, are completely gone so you have a fresh start to do as you wish. There will be some minor tweeks being done to the server, namely spawn rate, food drop, etc. Stop by, check us out. Ask questions. We'd be more then welcome to have you along. EDIT: I do want to point out this server is a meeting ground, not a voice channel server. There will be few, if any, voice channels on this discord due to the fact I would like to encourage radio usage and pure interaction, meetings with other people. https://discord.gg/7dpYXFN

Just a heads up, we've had a few people poke their head into the discord, and a few people who stuck around. Server population is growing again and i'm quite happy with it. Come on over and join the fun, I promise it will be a new experience for you.

So, title pretty much says it all. I get a 6 second connection issue from my server and then get kicked by battle for client not responding. There is no other warning, nothing at all. I have verified my game files through steam and this did nothing. Any suggestions?

So we currently used the information found on the web to reset all the vehicle spawns to have them out of the ground. I implemented this with not too much hassle but I am looking for a way to wipe ALL current vehicles from the map so they can respawn. Is this possible or so I have to completely wipe persistence to make it happen?

That was it, many thanks, enjoy the beans.

Would you happen to know what file i'm looking in for where that stuff is posted? I can't find it and i've looked for about an entire day now.

I am expecting DLC before any major content updates. Seriously. We've just started using mods because the current content is so far behind anything they do it's depressing.

If you adjusted the CFG for event spawn then you probably did something wrong. Every time I load a mod if it fails, or I messed up a file, then my zombies stop spawning. MOST of the time it's because I screwed up my CFGeventspawns or something inside of it, so I would start there.

Previously on this game if you created Ghilli parts you could shoot them with a low caliber weapon and the suit would turn to a different color, usually green. Now, I have gun wraps and such and I shoot them, and they just get damaged. How do you get Ghilli to green once more OR is this a working as intended and until we get paint no more green?

Cfgspawnabletype is only useful if you plan on tweaking attachments on initial spawn. Just update types.xml and set the nominal higher and adjust the minimum so more can spawn.

Is there a fix for my Ada appearing in the ground on my server? Sedans are fine but never fails my Ada will spawn half way in the ground. Is that an X Y Z issue I can fix on my end?

With some issues with the server (thanks Fragnet) we're back and trying once again. The community server is back to a 30 man server and the server is once again fresh. Come stake your claim!

First, let's tackle the elephant in the room. What IS organic roleplay? We stole the definition directly from DayZ Underground and it goes something like this : What makes our approach to roleplay special is that we don’t have any artificial rules that affect how you can or cannot interact with people. This is the basis for what we started to call “Organic Roleplay”. Whether you like to squad up and get into PvP fights, or enjoy hardcore roleplay scenarios, all are welcome on our servers. We do not bar any playstyle or what players wish to share with the community, as long as it does not go against any of our community rules. We are not a traditional roleplay server, but we do have many members who enjoy a wide spectrum of interactions and roleplay. Our server operates directly off of those rules, and the only rule we do enforce is the obvious no glitching and no hacking. Otherwise, anything else is game. Any action you take in the game will have an effect on how people interact with you in the future. Making a name for yourself as a friendly, helpful person who aids those in need will get others seeing your character as such. Being a ruthless bandit, and people may start taking notice and even hunting you down. DayZ is much like EVE Online, no matter what you do, or how you act you are a roleplayer. Roleplaying simple means you are playing a role, and as you see above, you can be any role you wish. Our server is set to 1pp and has cross-hairs enabled. We do not run mods, the experience is quite vanilla, and we only run with a few modifications of the base game but nothing that would require you to download anything. We request that you join the discord we offer so you can become a part of the community and furthermore before you join make a name for your character. The instructions for doing this can be found in the discord itself, and you can also find factions currently operating on the server and other survivors who may want to join up with you. To quote a line many of you have heard, " All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players;" What part will you play? Join us. Server address : 23.111.157.106 Discord : https://discord.gg/7QHAnWn We hope you'll join us and add to our community!

Have they fixed persistence yet?

So this is going to be a thread for stuff people need to know, but didn't, and wouldn't unless they looked here or spent the time WE did to get something working. So without further delay: 1. Cooking. From my own personal experiences i'm going to relate the basic ways to cook food in this game. You're going to need a source of heat, be it a mini-stove, or a fireplace, or a fireplace in a house. So let's start with a mini-stove. A. Mini-stoves can cook food if there is a pot attached to it. This can be anything from mushrooms you find on the ground to meat you may have gathered while skinning a human or an animal of some sort. There are mixed reports if you can get sick from eating raw food as some say you can, and others say you can't. For now we are going to play it safe and cook the meat or fruit/vegetable we have gathered. First you need a mini-stove, the types.xml files says Mini-stoves will spawn in Industrial spawn locations, so keep an eye out when running through those areas. Once you find a stove, you're going to need some gas to fuel your stove, these also can be found in Industrial spawn locations. Once you have both items, place the stove in your hand and then drag the gas to mini-stove in your hand. It should combine showing the canister now connected to the stove. Now let's find the third piece you will need, and that's a pot to cook your items in. Cooking pots can be found randomly in any town or village house, sometimes on the floor, or tables, or elsewhere. Once you have your pot, attach that to your stove / gas and once again you should see it connected. Now that we're sure the item isn't bugged, detach your pot by taking all the items in your hand and removing the pot back to your inventory. Place the items you want cooked into the pot and then fill the pot with water from any source that is pure. These pure sources can be from wells, or from bottles / canteen that you have found water in and purified with purification tablets. Fill the pot completely, and add the items you want cooked to the pot and finally attach it back to your stove. Place the stove on the ground and hover your crosshair over it, you should see an action that says turn-on. Once you've turned it on you should hear the sounds of boiling water and see a slight steam coming off of it. The sounds will change when the food is cooked and the smoke slightly changes color. Once this happens, pull the pot off, check the food (it should be slightly brown and also say 'boiled') and if complete, remove the items you have boiled. Congratulations, you've safely cooked your first items with a cooking pot. B. A Fireplace can also be used to cook items, albeit one at a time. (You can cook with a pot, however I have not tried to do so as I don't feel like carrying a tri-pod.) To make a basic fire you will need sticks, tinder, and something to light the fire with (for simplicity sake we will assume you have matches). In order to do all this you will need a cutting tool of some sort be it an axe, knife, hatchet, or sharpened stone. Let's start with getting fuel, take your cutting tool and go to a bush, we're going to cut down the bush and gather a long stick (when you finish cutting the stick will appear on the ground). Once you have this, put it on your back, you will need this later. Now go to another bush and repeat this action until you have two long sticks. Take your cutting tool and put it in your hand once more, then grab the other long stick and drag it over the cutting tool. You will get an action that says split into thirds, do this, and you now have three short sticks and one long stick on your back. With all of this, go to a tree and with your sharp cutting tool, look at the tree until you get the action to cut off bark, do this and you will see the bark at your feet. Now, take the tree sticks and the bark and combine them, you will see the action to craft a fireplace, do this. Once this is done you should see the fireplace in your local area on the ground, go ahead and add the two other small sticks you have to this. Once done, take the matches you have in your hand and look at the fireplace until you have the option to light it. Do so. Now, take the long stick off your back and add a piece of whatever you are cooking to it. Point the stick towards the now lit fire and you should see an action to cook over fire. This will start a cycle wheel in front of you when you start the action, this indicates you are cooking the item on the stick. When this cycles once, it will signify that you have successfully cooked the one item. Doing any more cycles will burn the food, which will make you sick if you eat it. C: Cooking with a house fire is done exactly as you see above except when you create the fireplace you will be pointing at a house fireplace, and it will give you the action to craft in the shelter. Once this is done, you can do as you did with the mini-stove and add a pot to it and cook your food this way. I have found cooking with a house fireplace easier as you can stay close to the fire, stay warm and see the item you are cooking in the local area so you know when it is done. Warning : Cooking with a pot and NOT adding water to it will cause your cooking to fail every time and your food WILL burn. There's no way around it. I -think- you can use fat, but i'm not 100% sure and again we're going with what I know WORKS. (more to come in the following posts, add more to this so others can see!)

Hi. I know my opinion probably will be overlooked or not answered cause you guys are busy and what not but I have a simple request. Would you be willing to tell us (the community) about the persistence issue? Do you (the team) have a realistic idea of when there might be a hot-fix coming down the tubes? I feel like a bit of information about this one major subject would do a lot to help solve annoyed or frustrated players. Thank you, regardless of your answer or lack there of.
