Not everyone, but a large proportion of people have been affected by it; i've been teleported to many different places during the time i've played DayZ. Luckily they've fixed spawning in the ocean and debug plains/forest for the most part so you shouldn't be teleported anywhere too harmful.

It's due to a HIVE communication error or something along those lines, probably the server failing to sync to the main server. It happens every now and again, it's not too much to worry about but it is a pain.

foggy trees at night black shimmer during the day?
Aftershok replied to okarr (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Looks like it's due to to your ATOC settings, try changing it. -
http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/14-survivor-hq/ I'd advise looking at one of the organised groups if you want some help, if you do not have a gun it's a little too easy for someone on their own to stab you in the back.

If you want to play DayZ properly, purchase the game. Available off steam for the low price of £19.99. You can purchase ArmA 2 : Operation arrowhead on its own and play using ArmA 2 Free. The CD key error does not usually occur when people use ArmA 2 free so I take it you are using a pirated copy?
-
Are you running steam/CO as an admin? Try verifying integrity of the game cache, then reinstall DayZ completely ensuring you follow the steps to the letter for your version of the game. Also change your firewall to allow ArmA 2 OA, as considering when you did get in you were placed in debug there is something wrong with your connection or installation.

Are you following the specific installation instructions for a mixed installation, it is more complex and I'm not sure six updater can actually handle such an install. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ Have a look on here and ensure you are following the steps correctly.

Here are a few FPS optimisation guides that people (including myself) use to gain maximum fps. Unfortunately there is no guarantee you will be able to run at high FPS due to your GPU and processor, but you can try a few tweaks to boost it a bit. http://www.10-78.com...ead.php?t=27601 http://www.moddb.com...te-tweak-thread Hope they help.

Whereabouts are you logging on from? Could be an issue with your own connection, are you running the latest firmware on your router/modem?

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/14-survivor-hq/ Take a look on this forum, plenty of groups looking for players.

Try using the original ArmA2OA.exe rather than the beta one (if you are using it). Otherwise try adding this to your launch options "-beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion" If that does not work try adding this; "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash" and ensure you remove -mod=@DayZ Have you tried manually moving the @DayZ folder out of the OA directory, then simply moving it back once you have finished playing singleplayer?

If he's on Windows 7, try running it through compatability for vista or XP. Is he running the game as administrator? With regard to changing your 'MaxFramesAhead' setting to 1, have you made sure it is not resetting every time you open the game? Sometimes the config will reset some changed settings when you open the game so you may need to change the file to read-only.

Found a bug report on dev heaven relating to this problem which you could keep track of. I recall people having this problem in ArmA 1 so it is an engine bug https://dev-heaven.net/issues/27127 Have you tried zeroing the X and Y axes and mouse smoothing, then boosting dpi on mouse? You could potentially try uninstalling, updating or reinstalling drivers for the mouse and running the game in compatability mode

Sound plays an important part, but at the same time you can do many things visually. If you stick to lower pop servers it would be less of a problem, however things such as zombie aggro, being shot at, hearing other players are vital in playing the game, more so in towns than in open country or forest. That being said, you can use the peripheral vision features (white dots on the side of screen) to locate other players or zombies and if you have sharp eyesight and good visual awareness it is easily playable.

Launch the game without any mods activated to play on bootcamp (remove -mod=@DayZ from launch options).

Want TO Play This Mod But Totally Confused
Aftershok replied to kflo01's topic in New Player Discussion
Which files does it say are not compatible? First off, do a 'Verify integrity of game cache files' and try again, if this does not work remove the incompatible files completely and try again. -
dayz_anim' requires addon 'CAMisc_fix_A2FREE
Aftershok replied to RedLlama's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Open vanilla ArmA 2 and check the version in the bottom right hand corner, you may need to update to the newest 1.11 patch (http://www.arma2.com...emid=20〈=en). Also a reinstall of the Battleye client. Have you tried simply deleting all of the disallowed files then starting DayZ without a verification of cache files? -
Please tell me where to download and how to install DAYZ_CODE 1.7.2.3
Aftershok replied to maximmus's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
If you only want that individual file go here; http://uk1.dayz.nu/latest/ (UK mirror) You can install the mod manually, although most prefer to use six launcher (as linked by above poster) -
Internet crashes when I try to launch
Aftershok replied to Bundy (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I haven't seen any issues like this before, do a firmware update on your router to see if it fixes, also try forwarding the required ports for ArmA 2 (2302-2307 UDP i believe) -
Right click OA, go to properties, then Local Files then click 'Verify Integrity of game cache', this will validate your files and should recover any corrupted/incomplete files. Also, make sure you are running steam as admin. This error crops up every now and again for ArmA and is usually fixed via this method.

Stuck at Loading... Corrupted Hive data?
Aftershok replied to Spindrift762's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Try sending a support ticket rather than posting on the forums for a HIVE reset. However, you could try an update or reinstall of your display drivers. -
dayz_anim' requires addon 'CAMisc_fix_A2FREE
Aftershok replied to RedLlama's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Try deleting those files manually then doing a 'Verify integrity of game cache'. It could be a simple corrupted file. Also, make sure you are running the newest beta patch. -
high spec pc getting 10-20 fps after recent patch
Aftershok replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
The new patch is causing issues with framerates across a large number of servers, try going on those with lower draw distances. Wait for the next one to come out which should hopefully fix the issue.
