I was playing today with some people and getting 100000 dysync. Nothing seemed to move and players seemed invisible. People were saying zombies were chasing me but I did not see or hear them... After I died and respawned on the same server the dysync went away. I don't know if this is due to having gear or zombies spawning in the area but its not constant which seems strange to me.

I think its related to some kind of data base issue because the more gear you get the more you dysync it seems. Like the data from the main DB is corrupted some how. I've had some strange issues where I died but can still walk around, like being in some kind of limbo lol

While messing around in dayz today I was thinking, can dayz actually be played without an m4 or mosin and still be fun? A lot of peoples main aim seems to be to get a gun and military gear and go shoot people, but is there enough to do in dayz to have fun without doing this? So I set my self the task of meeting up with some one and giving them a book in Berezino, only weapon I have is a wood chopping axe for zombies. How long do you think it will be before a player decides to kill me? As of today I saw one guy run through Berezino also with an axe, I tried to follow and give him a book but he seemed to be running full sprint for the airfield. Maybe in day 2 I will have more luck? ^_^

I played as a bandit type in the dayz mod because you could just walk into a barn and pick up a decent gun and ammo at that time, but right now the only real place to find guns is one of the airfields. So depends how they are armed if you can judge them hostile, I see some one with a gun I run and hide or shoot them if I have a weapon aimed at me. Usually I see people before they see me so its easier to figure if they are hostile. I'm just thinking of the options on how to play this game since its more an open world survival game than fps shoot on sight game. I already have games like arma 3 where I can easily go around gun-ho and shoot everything in sight :D. The main aim though it is get some fun interactions because just run to airfield find m4 run to electro shoot on sight die, repeat is just boring.

Added it to bug tracker please comment and get this high priority thx http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=6429

Same issue happened today.

I dont think thats the problem because its been happening over a number of days and in different servers. I noticed if I click the server it will change from 30 ping to 100 ping the moment I go to join which is weird. But other players on the server are getting no dysync.

That not a girl its some 14 year old Aussy kid hahaha. Kind of funny though :D.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already but this is the kind of view you are getting in 3rd person above and 1st person. When your walking around you can see almost 180 degrees with most of your vision being in a cone at the front. Your eyes can also quickly move left and right to check what might be going on. I know what the floating camera view is bad for wall hacking but imo its still more realistic to view in 3rd person than 1st. I played the original arma 2 dayz mostly in 1st person but I just find it to be really boring and a bit disorientating now. The only way we might see a realistic 1st person view in the future is binocular monitors like in oculus rift but for now we are left to pretty much play games with a toilet roll to our eye in first person mode :P.

Sounds like your steam version is corrupted: Launch steam, click on library, look for your arma 2 game. Right click it, go to properties, local files tab, click on 'VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE...' then 'DEFRAGMENT CACHE FILES'. Then try launch the game by steam. After this see if the servers let you in :). If they don't then your CD key is probably not on the gamespy system or has been removed.

Recently a lot of servers that run dayz run new beta versions of arma 2 oa. I don't mind this but most of the arma 2 servers, CTI, Domination, ACE that I used to enjoy playing on demand an older version of arma 2. The new versions do not seem to be backwards compatible so installing dayz patches seems to render arma obsolete for other online play. Is there a way to install two versions of arma or separate the folders into an arma 2 folder and dayz folder? (I'm using the steam version).

We found about 20+ tents full of all kinds of rare items!: 7+ nvg 5 ghillie suits 5 cammo 20 some thing tents Pretty much all weapons in game with full clips 5+ clips and almost every item in game in large quantities, a very! productive clan? Or hacked, me thinks? My friend even spotted a phantom atv hidden in a tree with the message load up atv? Since we had an atv handy we started to flatten most of the tents until we heard a few gun shots, maybe one of the angry hackers/productive team members? You can see him laying dead still protecting his tents :thumbsup:

I think after some time a lot of people naturally become bandits/aggressive survivors. If you see a guy running at you or some one close to you who you don't know, most of the time you are going to shoot them. One time I was near a popular town and saw a guy in the woods with his binoculars out and afew smoke grenades going off in the town below. Did I stop and greet the guy and ask hows the bird watching? No, I blasted him dead, told another friend of take out the guy in the town and we shared out the loot. Does this make us bandits? With nerves, I think everyone gets nervous playing dayz. Thats unless your totally disconnected from the game, which I don't think most people are. When a target pops up you have to either take him/her out asap or think of the best tactics to get to him and take him out.

I wonder if the skin issues are related to the new patch reloading everyone's account? There were afew bugs with skins: Moving while changing into a skin causes tp into the sea, spamming wear: lots of civilian clothing replicating. Try not move for 15s after log in see if that causes it to work?

I was wondering if it made any sense to add ambient sound in some large cities from old radios etc. I think it would really add some atmospheric effects to the game and be pretty easy to implement. :D

I'm getting a lot of time dilation (lag issues), running on the spot, being teleported back. The server seems to have gone down around midnight GMT time.

Does anyone know when the female characters will be able to wear different skins, ie ghillie suit/camo? If the current model is based on http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12248 You can see that the usual arma 2 gear is enabled on these models and only the faces are changed. I am not sure why the body was changed by the dayz team so early on. This kind of limits the game for female characters unless they are updated. Thanks for any intelligent responses ;)

No it gives a warning saying some thing like 'You can not wear this with female model'.

Yeah because wearing a bright white shirt is like wearing a neon sign saying shoot me bandits!

Lol weed :P

Since Dayz has a strong scavenger aspect: search for stuff and take it to other places and maybe pass onto buddies. How would we encourage people we meet to trade the loot that they have found? Unknowns are always a risk in dayz, people would rather kill you than trade or help each other out at times, so any suggestions to help stop this? I think having certain areas of the map where people can trade items safely would be a great benefit to player interaction. These would be player run and have no special benefits/perks, such as weapons not working in these areas. Bandits would be free to raid these trade posts if they wished. Maybe a special trade stand like a tent would help? :)

I'm wondering if more female models will be added in future? Longer hair, African female skins etc? I know a lot of people who play dayz are male and seem to feel that killing women or choosing the female character is not for them. I enjoy dayz because apart from the pvp aspects it has a kind of survival horror feel to it too. Anyone who loves horror will know that there are always female protagonists in these and other movies too. Ripley in Alien and recently Michelle Rodriguez are both very strong female characters who carry guns :).

Lol no black solders in arma 2? ok...
