Eugen Harton @eugenharton Follow Experimental update incoming. Servers going down. No ETA. #dayzupdate 8:47 AM - 15 Oct 2014 Eugen Harton @eugenharton Follow Client crash still in there (new experimental). Server crashes should be a lot less common. Working on it.

Hmmm, I see. I got my impression for this theory as it seemed I was following the same 40-50 players around to the next higher ping server which would crash within maybe 2-3 hours of it filling. Could very well be coincidental in a way. Difficult to say when we can't see details on the technical side I guess.

It's got to be popularity/usage based. The servers go down after being played on near capacity all at about the same interval after being filled.

I see your point but it sure doesn't change the fact that the phrase originated with Dean and will be forever referred to as such. Also, Dean will still be involved with the production and oversight of the project for a very long time. It's his claim to fame after all.

I have switched to bare hands randomly when spamming the LMB but never dropped the weapon I was using.

^^^Maybe you glitch dropped it and he picked it up quickly...? I pulled the bullets out of my magnum and the picture of the rounds showed without a number on them. If I right click the rounds without numbers I am told the gun is full when it is empty. If I drag the rounds back it loads. I cannot combine the glitched rounds with a stack in inventory. I'm hoping we might see a global reset for this evenings play.

Experiencing server DC's which do not seem to be related to server reset or reset loop bug. I ran randomly North and stumbled across a newer town I am not readily familiar with. There is a police station near a fire station which I thought was a unique feature. The town seemed to be untouched and yet the police station had very little loot and 0 weapons/ammo. The fire station had an engraved 1911 and a glitched sledge hammer. I'm glad I always made a habit of searching ALL buildings. I'm finding the best stuff in residential buildings. Single room log cabins reliably have sidearms in the corner. I saw 4 different hand guns and a crossbow in these. I still haven't found another repeater since I lost one to server reset.... I'm seeing more loot buried under floors or out of sight until you bring up inventory and they show up.

I understood there was a note of sarcasm but I also felt you meant it on some level. You're going to lose your character/gear to stupid stuff FOREVER in DayZ. Embrace the nothingness, be one with the void. Only then can you truly, "Dean with it".

THIS I just don't understand. WTH does Rocket have to do with that at all? What a whiny bunch of ignorant drivel.... Suggestion: Leave DayZ, come back in a year. Then declare it a broken piece of garbage and leave forever. Your problems are solved!

After not seeing a single raincoat for quite a while I came across at least half a dozen. I was able to play all night but in the end was playing on a DE server (that performed well at around 100 ping). Another week, another chance for a more stable update! :) Edit: Anyone know how to zoom range finders?

I don't recall anyone mentioning this, so please forgive me if this is a repeat observation. My wool coat was showing as damp and my pants wet but I was neither cold nor wet. (I am wearing wellies, skate helmet, and black gloves as well). I had fought off the cold and wrung out my clothing but the individual moisture stat of the clothes didn't change and this seemed to happen after mending my coat. Possibly glitched moisture mechanic but I wasn't sure. Servers are going down more slowly tonight it seems, kiddies have homework and bedtimes maybe.... Eating balanced in this patch is more important. I had a wide variety of food and was able to slowly eat fruit and drink until light green hydrated and then eat cereal to get healing/energized/healthy. :thumbsup: Edit: I also cannot remember the last time I saw a raincoat. :/

To my surprise Northeast US 08 was still up, so I logged back in. I loot a couple of more locations and find ammo for the repeater. I go to my inventory to load the repeater I thought I had looted earlier and find I have the blaze. I run back to the house where I thought I swapped a repeater for my blaze to find.... a blaze lying there@! Some kind of discrepancy between the servers last save and my characters last save I'm guessing/ It's a shame as it would have been my first repeater.... oh well. Glad I have a rifle for to waste zeds with still. Looks like NorthEast US 08 might have shit the bed in earnest. Slowly climbing up the ping ladder on Exp. :rolleyes:

Logged into Northeast 08, 1st person Spawn in next to someone tangling with a zed in the street. I know for a fact that server reset when I was in fire station with this character but I was just happy to still have gear. I found a double rifle and repeater in short succession but no ammo. Thanks to the guys who didn't KoS and let me exit the town unscathed. Server crashed and froze not too long into my session. Hoping to jump in somewhere again in moment....

JubeiDOK By your logic this branch should be closed Alpha then, right? And then what would you say?

Twice I have been crouching and tried to eat a can of food and encountered a bug where the process would time out and I would actually see a message saying, "Error trying to move item into hands." Both times I was inside a building, and both times standing fixed the problem. It is annoying to eat so much food and drink so much drink but not reach "healing" before stuffed. I would hope that this gets some attention before a new stable release. Sewing kit should fit in the medkit, IMO. Especially now that you can apparently sew wounds closed with one.... Splitting axe opened all the cans I tried to open it with. Server reset on the 1st person character I was playing.... just as I was entering a spot with a possible firearm. :(

When they fix the server reset problem you will all never speak of it again and soon forget it ever happened. And how many of you will praise them when it's fixed? Yes, entitlement. Yes, what Boneboys posted. If your reading comprehension skills are not strong enough to internalize the post regarding experimental that Hicks made, you shouldn't be "contributing" to this thread.

That actually went "better" than I would have expected, lol. I personally have been going for berries as they are always pristine. I like your crappy videos, thanks.

The last US server just shit the bed. After killing 3 zeds I found standing over the corpse of a dead man in fire station one, I climbed a ladder on fire station 2 to avoid a zed I picked up on the way. Walking down to the lower roof area I rounded the corner to find a man fighting a zed with his bare fists on this rooftop. I turned on my microphone and declared friendly and asked that he stand back while I axe the zed, just then the game froze and now all US servers show 0 players....

If I feel I'm getting bum rushed by somebody in close quarters my immediate instinct is to shoot first and cry over their corpse later. "WHY, GOD, WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!?" I also prefer interaction to just another fire fight.

I'm thinking they need to dump down the data before this sort of hard reset needed. This does 2 things (*for now). Makes it so, A: The devs won't simply restart remotely or they will lose the data. And, B: They have a smaller data pool to tangle with when they glean the data from it. (*Until the bug is fixed.) RIP Experimental Branch 10/10/14 May you rise again with the dawn in CZ Monday, like an infected Phoenix from it's own ashes.

I'm curious to hear about what is happening with the loot respawn mechanic to make it glitch, from a dev. I think I read that it was tied to persistence somehow a while back. I personally cannot go back to the broken hit detection on stable right now. The melee/fighting with zombies is something that I enjoy in this update. Some people testing experimental branch need to remember that the builds here are much more prone to all kinds of bugs. The game play on these builds will be far LESS reliable than stable So yeah, "complaining" is silly. Report bugs and experiences here and then walk your next character off a roof with Ebrim.

None of the servers in my region are functioning. It only looks like maybe 4 servers are working for the entire US experimental branch. I joined a nearly full 3rd person server that was functioning and found a down jacket, food, a splitting axe, and a childrens backpack pretty quickly. The backpack was found in the bed of a pick-up truck, which had some decent clothing in and around it. Brown Wellies show through the cuffs of black jeans. Most of this loot was found in and around the small town near the swamp spawn. Also in this area, standing in the grass between the swamp and the town was a single zed. Someone must have drawn him there and left him behind somehow as he was far from anywhere I normally would see a zed and I aggroed him due to running up on him unexpectedly. Running into the woods North to try to evade him I get the server DC message.... Might jump on again before dinner.

I'll jump on after lunch probably. Thankfully I have a character with an axe and a welding mask. He's quite hungry but I'm logged out near a red berry bush.

Great. I have to go out for a few hours so I hope servers aren't stripped bare by the time I return. :(

Ok, thanks. I wasn't sure about that. I usually stick to 1st person so when I logged in recently I thought I was glitch wiped. It seems like all of the North East servers have crashed and the server I was playing in South Central was almost looted completely empty. Honestly, I've never seen entire towns so stripped clean of every bit of loot. I ran until starving and decided to do a little berry research. 10 minutes of berry picking had me from starving to the border of neutral. 20 minutes of berry picking had me solid at neutral and I ran to another town. Standing and just picking berries in a t-shirt with a welding mask on and I never had more than green Cold indicator and some messages that I was shaking/cold. After searching a good sized town rather thoroughly and finding more nothing, my character began to starve again. Soon I was picking berries again.....
