Update--- 7th Day and still no cars on my server. Let me tell you a story about a 30 year old kid that wanted to host a dayz server- I was playing dayz and thought to myself what a cool idea. This game is awesome. I would like my own server. After researching for DAYZ :) I found that the servers in my home would not have enough bandwidth so I would have to purchased a managed server. So off I went, I went to a site called VIlayer, They were nothing but rude and could not get my server up after 3 days so I got a full refund. I then went to a site called Defcon servers. They have been okay for now. They seem to respond to tickets rather quickly. Only issue is keeping the server up. Now it was time to have some fun. I had a new server and friends to play on it with me. We started off getting all our supplies and trying to find a vehicle. Never found one. After a couple days we started to get worried and I put a ticket in with Defcon. They explained that there was nothing they could do. Only Dayz staff could help. So I did a little research and found that if I had an ID above 6000 it could take up to 7 days to get vehicles. Man that sucks I thought to myself. So to confirm I put a ticket in with Dayz Staff.

It has not been 7 days. - Jonathan DayZ Community Support Staff ========================================================== Dustin || 11/08/2012 18:23 Thank you for the info Jonathan. I must have been confused cause they had to give me a second ID cause the first one glitched out to say US 405 I think. So you are saying the cars should be on the server on Day 7? Is there anything that can be done to expedite this? Reboot more, Pray to the Dayz gods, Donate? Thank you for any information you have that can help me get the server going. Jonathan Dalton || Staff 11/08/2012 18:23 Hi Dustin, Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to expedite the service. Vehicles SHOULD be on your server by day 7. - Jonathan DayZ Community Support Staff ========================================================== Dustin || 11/08/2012 18:31 How will I know when to start looking vs when to give up? Does a reboot need to be done once the cars do show up? Or will they just appear in front of me at some point? Is it possible that they could show up today? Or is it 7 days no matter what? Thank you Jonathan Dalton || Staff 11/08/2012 18:33 Hi Dustin, A reboot will be required. As for when/if/etc., I can't comment on that, only that vehicles should be on your server by day 7. - Jonathan DayZ Community Support Staff ========================================================== Dustin || 11/08/2012 18:39 Thank you for your support:) After this ticket I was hopeful. So I got all my stuff together. DMR, Silenced bison, GPS, night vision , etc. Then I saw a helicopter on my server. I though to myself WOO HOO vehicles! Then we all died and lost all our stuff.. Everyone on the server died all at once because of a hacker.. AWESOME!! (Sarcasm) So now I'm back to square one.. No items, no vehicles, No money cause I bought this stupid server. So I awaited day 7 for vehicles and some small amount of hope that I could have fun on this server. STILL NO VEHICLES. So I decided to put a support ticket in with Dayz again and see what was going on.

Thank you Mason Henrickson || Staff 14/08/2012 00:25 As was told to you in your other ticket "Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to expedite the service.

You will get your vehicles as soon as possible, more tickets will not help. ~Mason Henrickson DayZ Staff ========================================================== Dustin cody || 14/08/2012 01:06 Let me start by saying I have been nothing but nice to you guys. This is the second ticket I have put in on an issue that has lasted 7 days. I was not trying to annoy you but just solve a problem. You say I will get my vehicles as soon as possible. I am curious why a hacker can put cars and heli's on my server but you are unable to? Can you expand on SHOULD? Are you saying cars may never show up? If that is the case what is the point? can you at least act like you care even a little bit? I find your customer service skills to be upsetting. Again my only goal is to be able to play Dayz on my server with cars included. I am not asking for anything out of the ordinary. Jonathan Dalton || Staff 14/08/2012 01:20 Hi Dustin, At this time we are encountering some problems with vehicles spawning on new servers. We are working diligently to correct this problem and your patience is appreciated. I understand not having vehicles on your server is extremely frustrating but please know we are aware of this issue and are working on a solution. - Jonathan DayZ Community Support Staff After this I was a little upset. I could not believe after all this that the Dayz staff I was bending over backward to be nice to was going to be rude to me because they have an issue with the game. So now here I am, Sitting waiting for Defcon server to get my server back up so I can go to the quarry and be sad cause there are no vehicles on the server. That is the sad story of a 30 year old kid and his very own Dayz server.

Hello, I just bought a new managed server through Defcon servers. So far everything has been okay except for the fact that No vehicle spawns have occured after 4 days of having my whitlisted member id. I have rebooted several times. I asked Defcon servers if they new what the issue could be. I was told to take it up with Dayz staff. I am on update 1.7.2.4 / 95417 Does anyone have any insight on this issue? P.S yes I have looked at most spawn spots over the last 4 days. The only thing encouraging that I found was a downed heli.

The fact that you are not making any money on this makes me a Sad Panda. You should put a donate button up. I can only speak for myself but if I saw a "raise money to get vehicles on your server campaign" I would put some money on it:) Good luck finding the issue. If there is anything the community can do to help let us know. Can we confirm that there will be a announcement when the issues is resolved? That way we can stop looking for the vehicles.

Thank you for the information and diligence. You have my beans!

Yeah I too got my server from defcon. It has been over a week and still no vehicles. I feel your pain general.

Well its past Day 7 and still no vehicles so you are right both of my tickets were pointless. I did not know the issue was so widespread before posting to the devs. The part that annoys me so much is where a hacker can come in at any time and have a vehicle.. but the Devs can't make it work??? I am being patient.. I have pretty much given up at this point to be honest.. if it comes it comes. I am just happy I don't have to waste time looking for cars cause I know they are not there. Again I am happy that Dayz was created. I respect the Devs and think highly of them. Aside from (Mason) I did not find my 2 tickets to be inpatient. Thanks for your input. I really like the child part. That was clever ;)

I agree, with as many tickets they keep getting I'm sure it is frustrating to have me open a 2nd ticket. What I should have done was kept the first ticket open and just been able to put a reply in. I was trying to be nice as I work in support and its annoying to have open tickets to questions that have been answered. Now my second ticket I put in was on Day 7 when I SHOULD get my vehicles. That is why I waited until then to put the second ticket in. anyway thanks for your input. Who does this lame comment help?

I wonder how long the storm will last.... :o

It looks like I am not the only one having this issue. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/68541-no-vehicles-spawning-on-new-server There are many people with the same issue and the Dayz dev team is working on it. Good luck Dev team! I hope you find the issue soon and resolve it.

Thank you! I am hoping that with soo many people having this issue they will address it. Go Dayz Dev Team. You can do it. We love you and just want some vehicles from your awesome Dayz HIve!! :):)

Day 8 no vehicles on server here also. Feel free to read the whole story here. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/67426-new-server-no-cars-4-dayz-without-carvehicle-spawns/

The vehicles have not yet spawned. I am on Day 8. I have decided if the cars don't come by the end of the month I will have to cancle my server and play on other servers that do have vehicles. I am trying to keep in mind that it is a free mod that is in alpha stage.

I agree with you its a free mod and that is awesome. Really I just want to have vehicles on my server. I guess my expectations are too high. Do you have vehicles on your server? Can I play on it? Anyone want a free server for the remainder of the month? SOrry but there are no vehicles on it:)

The part that I found rude was where Mason said "You will get your vehicles as soon as possible, more tickets will not help." . I had already closed the previous ticket because I know how annoying it can be to have tickets open when working support. I was however happy with the response that Jonathan left me. It was very to the point and professional. Trust me there are no cars on the server. Not one.

Day 7 without cars!

I too am having the same issue. Instance id in the 8000 range and no vehicles. We got a downed heli once but that is all. This makes me a sad panda:(

Man I feel like I checked every inch. Its pretty sad. I heard a rumor that some people over a certain instance ID number are not getting vehicles spawned on their server Hope it gets fixed soon. Brand new server.. should not be possible for people to have hidden the cars already. Thanks

This is not the case. I have looked everywhere for the last 5 days. No boats, cars, bikes. New member ID and server so should not be stuff hidden.. But. I looked there too. trust me you can rule out that fact that cars are on the server.

Anyone having an issue with no vehicles spawning on a new server? I was hoping the update would fix. Anyone else having this issue? Thank you

Still no Cars spawned on my new server after 5 days of playing. I was hoping this patch would fix this. Anyone else having this issue???

Marked gun- There are spawn spots.. Nothing is random.. There are 67 confirmed vehicle spawns spots. Also there are 2 or 3 fishing boats and a faster small boat. None of those are there also. Also no bikes. Trust me there is not one car on the server. NomadGameCenter- I read something about that but it was dated back in July. I have read many posts on this topic before posting myself. I have read that cars spawn 10 at a time in random locations. I have read some with this issue say they had cars on the server after 3 hours some say it took weeks. Thank you for the responses so far. As much info as possible would be greatly appreciated. Dayz Team, If you would like to Chime in that would be very helpful.
