So here is the story... I logged into a private hive server to do some banditry, and was very happy when I realized I spawned in Elektro. I made my way into town, and hit up the firestation, then the church. I ran outside the church to hear heavy gunfire. It was obvious that it was an LMG. I saw the gun, and instantly knew it was hacked. I know all of the LMG's in the game, and I've had all of them. The one this player had was hacked. I talked to him through direct coms repeating "Friendly, Friendly, I have no gun don't shoot!" He went into Direct, and stood still to type, while zombies were hitting him. I knew this was a hacker. He said follow me. I asked if that gun was hacked. And then i was like "I know that shits hacked, bro spawn us a chopper and lets get the fuck outta here." He crouches down, for a moment, and BOOM xD A chopper. I hop into the pilot seat, telling him to get in. He gets in, and I fly off. Far north. He asks for me to stop for a second. I make a landing and he says "I'm going to spawn all the vehicles in the server to this spot, I reccomend you stay in the chopper for your safety." i was like this this is gonna be dope. i asked, wouldn't there be people inside the vehicles, that means I could die? He replied with ill god mode you. I was like well shit, ty <3. he does it, TONS of fuckin vehicles were all over this valley. I'm checking them while getting shot at, and there was so much shit it was awesome. I put ALL the guns I could find inside the one ural. Take off to my camp, place some tents and unload. Do the same thing a couple of times, and then take off with one of the legit helis. I went back to get some more vehicles and supplies. I got back to take off with a second UAZ, when i got shot with a 50. cal. I guess the god mode wore off. Then after that, I got to my camp, grabbed some sniping supplies, and headed up to a mountain over looking the whole thing. I killed about five poeple who were trying to scavenge stuff. Then the server got that no msg recieved to so long of time msg. I got back on, and all the shit was gone :( fun while it lasted.

Does anyone know how the servers will work for the DayZ standalone game? As in, will the current DayZ mod servers be able to just switch over to the standalone version without loss of anything such as vehicles or camps? Will the servers be entirely new and different in standalone vs. mod? Will bans from the mod carry over to the standalone servers? (banned on one server for just picking up AS50 TWS, I know, my mistake). So on and so forth.

1. video is pointless 2. the majority of those vehicles are not in dayz.... 3. the lady in your picture is disturbing do you need more?

Rocket, please put a single player mode [ala Kronzky] in the upcoming standalone game. I would like the chance of practicing complex skills (ie: cooking meat, using map and GPS, assembling vehicles, etc..) without other players killing me for a bandage and a flashlight the first instant they see me. My money is in the bank waiting for the standalone. G. Quagmire, US 1557

I'm not sure if you can save and keep new vehicles. Our group lost our UAZ, Ural, V35, ATV and even the bicycle after a restart, all of which we'd had for over a week. Helicopter too, though that was a very recent addition before the problems started. Attempts to get new vehicles are wasted as they disappear after a restart as well. Tents were still there, but changes to tents don't seem to save. Very occasionally one will save new inventory, but more often than not they empty out or teleport (one tent I set wound up nearly 1000m away- It was mine though. I could even pack it up). Not sure what the issue is, but I've basically given up on attempts at playing home maker for the time being. EDIT: We did retain one vehicle- A bus. A bus that we never fixed in the first place. A bus we never drove to our base. A bus that occasionally seems to just randomly show up where we are. It's really strange and creepy.

No. It will be fixed before the next update. The server host Vilayer recently announced they will be taking over Hive hosting duties from Host Attitude. And when the Hive is moved to their control fixes will be put in place to resolve the saving of tents and vehicles issues we have currently. These fixes will be server side and likely not involve a patch for us to download.

Do you guys think that vehicles will be fixed in the next update? and will tents even somewhat work?

Since the last patch there have been a few new bugs. Tents no longer work any tent set up in the last patch stay altogether and can not be saved. Although after a restart even if you take all the items out and flatten the tent the tent will re-appear with all its items back in it a form of duplication. Also vehicles will save properly except for the helicopter which will always spawn back where you found it. As per usual some vehicles inventory are wiped after a server restart but there location should be saved. Also if a server restarts there is a 1 in 3 chance (just experience) that no tent or vehicle will spawn and upon another restart they should come back.

Teamed up with my mate Nerf Dermer today who has mostly played DayZ solo in the hope of introducing him to the more action packed side of dayz (vehicles, gun fights bandit hunting etc). The first team event involved logging off by Electro in the afternoon. We decided to raid the east fire station before logging and we heard gun shots as we arrived. We find a lone, unconscious survivor with a broken leg being eaten in the yard of the fire station. I pick of the zombies and provide DMR cover while Nerf ventures in. This guy must be new to the game as he has no back pack at all. We announce we are friendly and provide a bandage, morphine and a blood transfusion and he goes off merely on his way after saying thanks. It's a nice feeling helping someone rather than gunning them down on site or watching them die. Not that the constant thought of "He's gonna' shoot!" was not in our minds while providing medical assistance. :) The next, more epic event, was when we were on DE 1666 this evening. We were heading from Electro to Cherno along the coastline and happened to find a UAZ (fully fuelled and repaired) parked under one of the bridges. Without thinking, we bolted for it, got in and went back towards Electro bound for Stary Sobor. We took some fire driving around electro but no damage. We were approaching the dear hut outside Guglovo when we noticed a bus parked along side it and a survivor running around the tower. We drove past and circled around the trees honking (hopefully to show we were friendly) when a bandit got out of the bus and opened up at us with AR fire. Nerf was hit and we headed south across the open fields to escape, only to notice a bloody heli crash site smack bang in front of us. Driving down that way also seemed to entice the bandit bus to give chase to us, giving away the heli site location to them (which we assumed they had not seen). We pulled into some trees along the roadside to hide the UAZ and I managed to bandage and transfuse Nerf to get him ack to full health. The bus however was now fast approaching us, and by now had noticed the heli crash site next to the road. By this time, Nerf was prone next to a wall and trees along side the road and I managed to crawl out across the road onto an elevated open area to see the bus on the road drawing the attention of the military zombies with it's horn. With the heli site clear, a sniper in ghillie suite rush out of the bus to the crashed heli. I took my chance and managed to down him in one shot with my DMR. This caused the bandit driver to take the bus further down the road after I let off a few rounds, hoping to nail him. Nerf saw him burst out of the bus and leg it around the back of my loaction, and out of Nerf's range. I was fully exposed so started crawling back to the nearest bushes. By the time I got there, the bandit had located me and from the distance, let off a few rounds with a sniper. he took me down to 5k blood, but I managed to bandage myself and crawl further back towards the road. During this time, another bandit appeared and was drawing the sniper's fire to him. He appeared to raid the chopper and run back towards the tree line road. Nerf, still in the tree lines sees the bandit head straight towards him and while hidden in zombie corps, managed to unload his M4 and drop him. I managed to get across the road, up an incline and into some tree cover but was suffering with blood loss and a grey screen. I lost sight of the sniper and we could not see or hear him at all. After a few mins, Nerf stood up and ran into the open hoping to draw the sniper fire to allow me to pinpoint his location, and hopefully kill him, but nothing. Just as I was about to get and head to the heli thinking the bandit had logged, he suddenly came back down the road on a bloody bicycle! He got off his bike in the open and started scanning the tree lines. By the time his rifle pointed at me, my scope was already on him and with one head shot, he was dead. Myself and Nerf managed to loot the bandits bodies, upgrade our weapons and resupply on gadgets, ammo etc and gear up at the heli. Unfortunately, one of our tyres was shot out, and as we approached the bus, the server announced a restart in 30 seconds. Really glad we took the slow and patient route, and after some bad luck with bandits earlier in the morning, this felt like a sweet reward. And Nerf said this wasmore action then he's ever seen playing it solo. Just goes to show teaming up with an extra person can change your play-style completely! :) And kudos to the bandits who we were up against. You put up a good fight. :P

dude, hacker.... these vehicles are not in dayz...

Actually, a friend of mine found one of these after restarting his server, in a truck. Was just the AS50 TWS and a can of beans. Considering the fact the truck was freshly spawned in its original spawn location, and vehicles aren't saving inventories, I'd say there might be a chance they are back in the game, or at least just a very rare spawn.

I have been enjoying the hell out of DayZ for about a month or so until the past 2 weeks. After every day, regardless of the server, regardless of the time, or update, whenever any server I am on is left for anywhere from 1-2 hours, everything (all my camps vehicles) all different areas of the map no matter what are completely gone and cleared. Now i'm assuming this is hopefully really bad server bugs because if hackers literally own this much of DayZ, i'd rather just quit. Can anyone post any healthy servers they know of that are playable and may infact save ANY type of server-related item ? If not, i'll just go ahead and wait until they patch it to allow the saving of anything.

Uhhhhhh no. Besides random curiosity there are very few reasons to go anywhere on this map except for the hotspots. Sure the first few days of playing I wanted to explore eeeeeeeverything but I soon learned that there's really very little value of going anywhere else. Why bother going to some village in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere just for a couple of minor residential spawns? Why risk dying and losing everything just to see a small town that's essentially identicle to all the rest? Vehicles are really the only reason myself or friends explore the map but most of them are already taken by sever hosts and/or clans.

Sorry, yeah like above...I want to know how to get rid of this. I can get on other servers but not my clan's server. I wasn't near any vehicles or fuel that I know of.

Hopefully that is the least of your problems. As far as I know until the next update, vehicles and bases get deleted by the server. I've had three different bases along with about 25-30 vehicles (across 5 servers) have been deleted or "cleared" the exact next day. Now either there is an entirely major problem with the save system for certain items, or hackers own so much of DayZ at this point its not worth playing until something is atleast slightly fixed. Either way not worth playing till the next update The Servers: US 1886 US 1431 US #2564 NY US 2108 US 1808

Our vehicles were disappearing from even the most remote locations too and we suspected hackers. Turned out one of the admins was hoarding them to one location. About thirty seconds after taking these screenshots a UAZ came screaming into the camp containing said admin and another player. I did not show any mercy. My mates came and we moved every vehicle of value - still have the UAZ to this day - and destroyed the rest with their camp.

I found where a motorcycle was on a server, and it keeps coming back to that spot. This bug sorta "ruins" vehicles in the game. I'm really looking forward to being able to save vehicles where I want them again.

Developers announced there is no fix until Arma 2 goes standalone. It's just not fixable without reworking the Arma II engine. So, instead of putting massive time and effort into Arma II they are writing a custom engine and releasing standalone ASAP. also this patch has had particular problems with vehicles and tents.. but they worked pretty well last patch and still kinda work now

I'm teleported by hackers all the time I assure you noone was hacking in this video but the whole server was messed around with that day. People were sent to edges of the map and vehicles were dropping around at random. Moments after the video the whole server was killed ask anyone involved on server. I play clean and have a youtube play series. Thanks for the hackusation though :)

1.7.2.5 doesn't save tents or vehicles right, so everything goes back at reset (though for tents this predates 1.7.2.5) And yes. it's one of them.

It vehicles it just shows exactly how pronounced the desync is, since you're moving faster and with another person it needs to update your client to their location. That's how bad the desync is all the time, it's just that you're noticing it for a change.

Oh, no worries. Thanks for putting so much effort into this. I know that gathering and repairing vehicles is no easy task. Took me ages to get fully working a bus I found today in Cherno. It was worth the trouble tough. And thanks for letting me in.

NO =] But a player to player quest system will be great. If the resources was harder to get, will be awesome a system to trade goods for work (like body hunt, find vehicles). Lets say a radio channel, that you can listen to work. A ingame system to support player to player quests, not appealing to forum to get your N.V in trade of your range finder and etc.

The net code is actually very good and if you were to spend some time with the PvP mod Project Reality you would see this. Back in the day desync was terrible and made it completely unplayable. Then the beta came out and they started fixing the serious issues. I only rarely see a desync when not in a vehicle. I honestly don't know why DayZ desyncs vehicles so much when again ArmA2 PR and the ACE/ACRE server I play on don't suffer from it. About hitting moving targets. It can and is done, 600m head shot on a guy running perpendicular with an SVD adjusted for bullet drop. Pwnt. Then again my DL tops 2.5 mb/s.

ok so i found a broken bus in cherno and gathered everything to repair it and drove away into some woods, now i didn't know how to get into the gear of the bus so i logged off, 5 min later i knew how to get it so i logged back in and there right in front of me is a bicycle does this happened to u to? ( also with different vehicles of course )
