I've started playing on the same server and have ran most of the map looking for vehicles (while not many players online), couldnt find any. Then later when server is busy ( i know a clan plays here) I see a heli, a car and a motobike coming from the same direction where I already checked earlier. So next day when not many players online I scan the same area again cant find anything. After re-reading this in announcements..... "Vehicles that remain unused for a short period of time (<=24h) outside map boundary now respawns inside map boundary at their original chance based spawn points." *** Is that a typo and should say >=24h? because thats how it seems to me which isn't working! *** .....I now suspect this clan is using the vehicles everyday (<24hrs) but storing them off map when not using them. When is a realistic fix gonna get implemented to actually stop vehicles being stored off-map??! Here is a better fix that WORKS!: Any vehicle parked off map should damage itself and blow up within 10 mins of being left unmanned!

Seriously? I agree that hardly anyone needs the use of 5 cars and a heli. But everyone can use everyone else not being able to use 5 cars and a heli. Why the hell should should people let vehicles sit around for others to use against them? At the very minimum, you drive them someplace useless where they're difficult to recover (this does not have to mean driving them off the map) As for hoarding gear in tents, true, you're not really denying that gear over the long term to others. However you're providing for resupply of yourself and your friends without having to "get it in Cherno in 10 to 30 minutes". Running around in Cherno for half an hour is just plain idiotic if you can make simple preparations to skip it. It is just plain irrational to expect others to leave vehicles sitting around for you to use. It's also irrational to expect them to voluntarily run around in the city on a regular basis. I seriously hope I'm not stuck some place with you in an emergency some day. You're clearly "that guy", you know, the one that everyone would probably be better off shooting immediately. Luckily for us, we have this option in-game.

Try playing on a Vilayer hive server like our server which you can find by searching 1/9 WDU Server in your multiplayer browser. You will have to create a new character that you can only play on Vilayer Hive servers (which number over 100), but you will have drastically reduced loading times, tents that actually save gear, vehicles that spawn properaly etc. On our server we have a free teamspeak that players who are on the server can use. You can create your own channels with password etc. Also, server owners/admins such as myself are available in the teamspeak if you have problems.

Bump! Come play! 40 vehicles! You start with a makarov and 1 mag and a tent!

Well why don't you come check out our server, it's 1/9 WDU Server. We're on the Vilayer hive. We have double vehicles and improved anti-cheat protection.

Hoarding sucks when it keeps others from getting something. Hoarding five cars and a heli is weird. because noone needs such a huge amount of vehicles and others can get no car. On the other hand we have equipment. Pilling up equipment doesn't reduce other peoples available equipment so I am fine with that. In fact I found my first ghillie-rangefinger-nv collection in a lost tent in the wood, long before I dared to enter the airfields. But honestly, I see not much use in hoarding equipment. Gimme a M1911, a Winchester 1866, axe, knife and matches and I am fine. I can get all of that in Cherno within 10 to 30 minutes. Hoarding would make sense for Ghillie, NV and M4SD but not much else.

So my guess this has either something to do with vehicles or the server admin not catering for his/her server. Either way I'm pissed. The same as The End: I also have a tent filled with my stuff on the server which I now cannot retrieve :/ Still hoping this is fixed soon. -Tom

Well with vilayer private servers, u got choice of multiple maps etc... There is some nice backend changes in the works if u read the last mail of backend changes, there is some nice changes it seems in the works. i.e beening able to wipe a server clean Also in lingor i.e when someone alt+f4 out they are standing up right for 30secs... no more worrying about combat loggers.... And as admin u can basicly ban / Kick someone at will if u wanted U can alter max vehicles + turn on/off sidechat, autoupdating scripts.txt + bans etc And since vilayer private servers share the same hive, people can jump onto your server & others vilayer servers and keep the same gear etc... its like a sharded mmo The main problem is u were thinking of it as a private locked / passworded server. Instead of server sharded with no real admin rules + some nice added features --------- Also i just checked & i dont see any vilayer private servers passworded / locked. Try filter the list by name i.e DayZUtes / DayZChernarus / DayZLingor

I had the exact situation. Placed tent, put stuff in, saved, stuff one after server restart. Next day I put up a different tent in a different place, tent disappeared after server restart. I'm thinking it might have something to do with older tents? The two I used were in my pack before the patch. What exactly did this patch "fix" with tents/vehicles.

So langsam gehts mir echt auf die Nerven. Das nächste Update was wieder mehr schlechter gemacht hat, als das es verbessert hat. Ganz gehörig auf den Sack geht mir das der Server alle 1,5-2 Stunden einfach die Verbindung verliert (kein Hoster Problem, denn der 1.7.2.5 Server ist die ganze Zeit online). Mit dem Bug das dann alle Fahrzeuge kein Benzin mehr haben nach dem Restart, macht das Spiel echt gar keine Laune mehr. Ich habe den Server wieder auf 1.7.2.4 zurückgespielt, da funktionieren wenigstens alle Grundfunktionen um Spass am Spiel zu haben. Leider bleibt der Server fast leer. Ist mir aber mittlerweile egal, denn ich werde den Server kündigen. Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, das es nicht wirklich besser wird, und eigentlich war ja genug Zeit um es wirklich signifikant zu verbessern. In 13 Tagen wird ein anderes Spiel zur open Beta, genau dann läuft der Server aus, also passt das zu 100%. Scheint wohl eine Fügung des Schicksals zu sein. Ich sehs nicht mehr ein Geld für einen Server auszugeben für ein Spiel, was nicht wirklich verbessert wird und nicht aus den Kinderkrankheiten herauskommt. Für alle die wissen wollen, welches Spiel ich meine, denen gebe ich gerne per PM Auskunft. EN: Slowly walk me real pain. The next update what has once more made ​​worse, as it has improved. A vengeance on the bag to me that the server is all about 1.5-2 hours just loses the connection (no Hoster problem because the 1.7.2.5 server is online all the time). With the bug then all the vehicles have run out of gas after the restart, the game is really no more mood. I have restored the server back to 1.7.2.4, as work at least all the basic functions to enjoy the game to have. Unfortunately, the server remains low. But now I do not care because I will terminate the server. Somehow I have the feeling that there is not really any better, and was actually enough time to improve it really significantly. In 13 days is a different game for the open beta, then the server just runs out, so that fits 100%. Seems to be a twist of fate. I no longer sehs a money for a server to pay for a game that is not really improved and not coming out of the childhood diseases. For those who want to know what game I mean, where I'll give you information via PM. Sorry for googletranslation.

Server's still borked post the attack and all the vehicles spawn in one place (that the hacker dumped them in). The tents while moved to a single loaction last night, post reset have returned to the original locations and seem to have the loot within them so thats a bonus. Frankly, the hacker issue is far more widespread than i had first imagined. Being a new server admin on this game its really a massive pain in the ass to deal with, especially when you get folk like the OP who seem to assume the reason for locking a server is to steal other peoples stuff, thats pretty sick. I've just respawned three times at different locations along the south coast, been killed each time by players...trying to return the vehicles to aproximate spawn loactions so I can the restart the server and test if they return to the hacked loaction or stay in the aproximate location I've left them. I am not trying to steal anyones gear, nor am i trying to make anyones gaming time more angst ridden than it has to be. All I (and the reast of the admins) are trying to do is provide a decent gaming experiance for the regular players. Of course I can only apologise for any inconvenience caused to players as a result of the hacker issue, however I would stress that we're trying to return to normal service as soon as possible, that would have been quicker if we had kept the server locked so we didn't die on every run but thats the game as it is :)

I can confirm that vehicles work but tents do NOT seem to be saving anything. I gotta say, I get concerned with this stuff as it relates to the standalone. Just seems like shoddy work, fix one thing, break 5 others. Hopefully the quality of work will be different Update, one tent seems to work... Maybe this has to do something with who accesses it. Will post more when I figure it out Update2, The other tent I had did appear to work. At one point it appeared empty, now it is full. I gotta apologize for my concern if it stays this way

Can someone give some resources on how to analyse logs? We had 4 vehicles spawned on skalitsky. We shot two players nearby and looked at their logs and found the following edit: never mind..

Of course. I'm always paranoid about saving. But at least the vehicles seem to work. I had a bunch of car parts in my atv and they got saved. Lost my stuff in the tent next to it though. WTF is going on. also I had pitched two tents in the same server before the update. They were still there yesterday after the update. So I put some medical supplies in there. Today those tents disappeared not to mention the supplies inside them.

Of course many are going to complain about it because they don't find vehicles, and rightly so. You shouldn't have to live infront of your computer or be a part of a large group to be able to actively use vehicles in DayZ. The gameplay in DayZ would greatly benefit if it wasn't possible to hoard vehicles off map. It is not fun to spend all of the time required to repair a vehicle only to see it has disappeared the next day, and to know it might be pointless to even look for it because there's a strong probability it will have been stored out of bounds. So you seriously think that players should have to search the map for 2-4 hours, and then switch server if they don't find anything? That's a fun type of gameplay you are defending.

So, Tents and Vehicles save now? They don't get eaten by the server? Is this confirmed?

Hello, We were just playing DayZ innocently with a friend when we got killed by a cheater !! This guy was spawning vehicles (bycicles), and was shooting with a Scoped PKM at us... He was in Electro ! The server was DE 1620. His name was FroZz. He is still playing while im writing ! Please global ban this cheater before hi kills more people ... At the moment my friend has just been teleported with all the guys on the server and they are getting killed by FroZz ... This is just annoying please ban him !

levik xabarok * Server this happened on; FR 141 * 15:15-16:00 * Players Levik and Xabarok teleported all the vehicles and all the tents to one location so they can snipe people as they try to get them. I was in a vehicle as it happened,they are still there now. Couldn't get a screenshot because they are fucking dicks who teleport and kill you. Don't go on the server people!

My first story involves a hacker. So me and my clan mates just found a megaload of stuff (as you can tell from my current load out, scripted-in items), well guess what, it was a trap. Our spotter guy (aka. guy who stays back to watch out for people while raiding a camp) noticed someone running towards my location, and not just any slow jog we see everyday, this guy was the faging flash (if I remember right, his username was SAMSUNG, he keeps changing names though, but it's always caps). So I ordered for a tactical retreat, but for every meter we cover, he would cover say.. 200m and spraying at whatever his last location was. Eventually we made it to Elektro and holed up in the fire house and brought out our packed sniper rifles (except for me, since well, I started rolling with one as my primary). A hour long, long-range shoot out happened. AS50s, M107s, the hole shebang of sniper rifles, laser gun sounds echoed through out Elektro. He wouldn't just keep still, as in in less than 10 minutes, he took up so many different 400-600m range from us positions. Eventually, we were able to get a lucky round onto him, and bam dead. Now this second involves a hot helicopter evac. 3 guys from C squad went on their normal scavenge rounds, and were ambushed in Cherno. I received a text from my counterpart from C asking for helicopter evac, so I sent a text to my squad's chopper pilot and one of the other guys (each squad has their own individual vehicle, for example, A has the chopper, B has vehicles, C is foot). I (taking the crew chief position), my pilot and the gunner, lifted from our base, and after a quick check of GPS coordinates, proceeded to the fight. Once we arrived in Cherno, we were able to draw fire from the enemy by coming in fast and low (and of course with guns blazing), after a couple of passes and assuming that they probably fled due to the presence of air support, we landed at the marked red smoke EZ, but the moment we touched down, they started firing again, but thanks to this being a game and the fact you can load people onto a vehicle fast, we were able to do a quick exit, although it sorta cost our chopper (A ton of near red-statuses, except for oil). I know my clanmate was able to record it, dunno what he's doing with the vid though.

Yeah, sorry I meant 1.7.2.6, but anyway. That seems like a possibility and I understand your skepticism. However: A. My tent was located in a thick forest with cliffs and hills and no roads for at least a mile. I highly doubt anyone would drive their vehicle here. B. My tent was located in a highly remote location, far from any points of interest, and it was extremely well hidden next to a large rock and two bushes. It's invisible unless you know exactly where it is. C. My ATV had 2 jerry cans, 1 engine part, 1 fuel tank part, and 1 scrap metal all left intact inside. If I were a looter with a vehicle I would definitely consider these valuable items. D. I forgot to mention that I had two of my old tents up about 30 meters away with some medical supplies in them, hidden but not as well as my newest one. They completely disappeared after server restart. Which leads me to believe that the glitch still exists. However the vehicles seems to be fixed. For now I recommend using vehicles as your main storage device.

ts.survivingthehorror.net Hop on our team speak server and talk to our admin: smKes We actually have 2 clans STH (Surviving the horror) & CTH (Creating the horror), you will decide wich one will you join. We have at this moment 2 Private Hive Servers. STH vs VTH #1 Lingor Island Private Hive (24/7) Vehicles & STH vs CTH #1 Chernarus Private Hive (24/7) Vehicles. :) Welcome.

what are your opinions on people hoarding cars? What do you do if you find a bunch of hoarded vehicles?

vehicles Correct behaviour is to return to their last saved location on server reset. last saved location is where a player either exited the vehicle or manually saved it. 1.7.2.5 caused many... (but not all) vehicles to return to their spawn every server reset, regardless of them being destroyed or not. With 1.7.2.6 they will again return to wherever they were last saved. I'm pretty sure the people who have legitimately gathered a dozen vehicles at one time have a general idea of how they work. And the name's Insolentfool, not ignorantfool.

Oh and by the way, the server locked at around 8pm last night to try to get the vehicles to respawn, it unlocked at around 2pm today so your perception of time passing may be impaired. Come get your stuff and move along mate.
