Get an infected in the head with a hoe for a one hit kill. I've had a hoe for a few days now. But I couldn't play at all until the recent major update because of the "desync" dramas. So I'm having fun playing again. The new infected are a step forward.

Me, happens on and off, sometimes when I'm near a player/s and sometimes not, sometimes after picking up stuff up regardless of what it is and sometimes not. I don't know why it happens, but all I can be relied for now is anything stand off.

I put 4 rounds close range from a .45 into the chest of another player. My lesson was learnt. But I do believe it'll be tightened up in the future.

Except that they already have been?

I've never been this guy, but search works. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164323-update-161-player-proximity-desync-issue-solutionsworkarounds/page-11

Yeah something strange is going on behind the scenes. Hopefully the battle eye or game devs can get it fixed sometime soon.

Last night I had several close range encounters and only 2 players caused me desync. I was even talking with some guy right near me for a couple minutes when someone else came near us and caused me to desync. Before that I bumped into 2 Axe wielding players on the coast near komarova and killed them both without any desync. Then grabbed a morphine pen off one and by the time I got into komarovo I'd desynced. Got rid of the morphine and I was good again. But then later in elektro I traded with a guy and got some rice off him and I've had it since, no dramas. Kinda confused, but sticking to looting fresh spawned gear seems to keep the balance for the most part

Gear's gear mate, you'll loose it eventually and get it back easily enough. I was decked out when I decided to ditch all my stuff. But, if you're that worried about your gear just do what I did. Find a low pop server, get to a remote area or somewhere no one is likely to visit then drop everything (down to your undies). Then move a couple hundred metres away, relog into the same server and see how it runs. I did that and it ran fine, but, as I said, when I approached my gear that I'd dropped (hence logging back into the same server) I got desynced, so I logged and started looting fresh. #1 rule of dayz?....... Just ditch your gear and see how it goes. There's no point having uber 1337 gearz when you can't even use it. I did it, and 30 minutes later I was back to where I was and even killed (what I suspected was) a loot hopper. Couldn't do that with the desync.

Did you try any of the things that me and/or mage posted about? The thing that worked for me was ditching everything I had and start looting fresh spawned loot (after a relog). As for the hardcore thing, I had the same result, and I put that down to being a fresh spawn on hardcore at the time, and so hadn't looted anything yet. Give ditching your gear a go. edit: Sorry, read your other post about trying it all. I'll leave this here anyways, someone else might find it helpful.

It has definitely been better. I haven't been able to play this smoothly for a while. Haven't seen any other bodies to loot besides that one dead player, and I'm keeping my eyes open for a Pelican case, but I've been able to play on every server I've been in, as opposed to around 1/20 working for me.

Been on for the last 1 1/2 hours on three different servers. First server someone logged on near me and gave me some desync for about half a minute, then he killed me but the desync had cleared up by then. Second server I found a dead player and took their stuff (which amounted to an axe, backpack, spray cans etc) but was rubber banding in small amounts and pretty often, about once or twice a minute, before and after the dead player. I got desynced before the body looting but that cleared after I ran off. Relogged into a third server and ran fine. No new gear and no rubberbanding, and continuing on my merry way.

With regards to the proximity issue, I've had mates next to me when i'm desyncing and they've been fine. Maybe there's a few different issues playing havoc here. Haven't been on to check the newest version though.... work.

My ping's usually under 50ms on Aus servers, and tonight I played for about 2 hours with no desync. Killed a guy who logged in right behind me as I was closing a door and took only his .45 ammo and nothing bad came of it (except his death). I'll get a little more adventurous and grab some big stuff next time and see what happens. Geared up pretty heavily now too from loot spawns so at least I know what works for me at the moment.

:( Well, that'll suck. I've used your packs to flesh out content for my missions since OFP......

I use it tonnes, DayZ or not. I use L+Alt (default right?) and it doesn't bother me at all. My thumb just tucks under my hand and rests on the key.

"SmokeShellxxxxx" are hand thrown smoke grenades. Not sure if any particular colour isn't available but I've used smoke in DayZ a few times against zombies and players. Statik may be correct though on yellow smoke.

What server was it? Every now and then me and some mates get on and none of the (aus) servers I've seen have direct disabled. Beyond DayZ, since the original OFP I've never seen it disabled in any game I've been in.

Agreed. Maybe not so smooth when I over do things with ACE mod but it takes a bit.

I do it in insurgency a lot if im playing as OpFor and it's a "blast"...... However, not in DayZ. As mentioned by one of the forum mods, it kinda goes against the survival gameplay, and thats what I play it for. I go into wasteland for some casual pvp and i wish that had suicide bombing though. Edit: I see Fraggle mention a suicide grenade. Anyone ever play much Vietcong? That game was great for them.

Are you using addWeaponCargo?

Me and 3 others I play with, plus about 10 others I know of.

I'll back that up. Razor stated in the 1.7.7.1 thread that the zombie nerf was unintentional.

Hey, got busy tonight. I'll jump on tomorrow evening and just sit tight till you're on.
