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.

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 )

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.

There was also a boat at it. Some vehicles need a tire, gas etc.. But there was a looot of them. Have fun. Took this earlier, may not be the same at this time. Coords are 006 - 001 top left of the map

Ok, so I can say I am even more frustrated with this game. Aside from the army of hackers who teleport to players, spawn vehicles, and all that crap. When I saw the whole "hero" thing I thought it was pretty cool, ESPECIALLY the badass outfit. But I wondered.. "What will I get for being a bandit?? Surely we get something if heros get a speed increase and a whole new badass outfit." But I was wrong.. everything is normal survivor EXCEPT my little towlhead. -.-' Don't get me wrong.. I like the head thingy, it looks cool. But the problem is NONE OF MY CLOTHES MATCH IT! I look like a fucking jackass. So if they have the time to give heros all this great shit, then is this suppose to be a joke towards bandits? I mean seriously.. WHAT THE FUCK!? I'm hoping this is just to even out the numbers.. more heros and survivors giving people a reason to try being helpful to other players. But this whole thing I can't get over. This is fucking bullshit.

I was able to save to tent (duping still happeneing), but still had vehicles dissapear or change to some other type after reboot.

worked for us. vehicles save again, tents are still a bit hit or miss

I know right, they even leave us fully fixed vehicles ready to go... this game brings out the good in people

All the new tents I've been setting up won't save items or disappear. Every tent I set up prior to the last patch is locked with the inventories they had stored in them before. I can empty them, put new stuff in, save and they just revert back to the previous state after the server restarted. They were really glitchy before but at least somewhat usable. Now they're just broke. The vehicles are a mess too. I gave up trying to use them to store anything a while ago.

If you want the weapons, start a LAN game, use the mission editor, add in weapons crates and ammo. You can also add zombies and vehicles with ease. Completely and totally legitimate and helps acclimatise you to certain weapons' idiosyncrasies. Look for tutorials to help you with the mission editor as it's not as intuitive as one might think. I might update this later to add where certain things are located in the interface.

I play solo and as such have no need for tents. I find weapons I will use and carry those, there's no need for me to stash additional weapons and then worry about them getting stolen. Plus with the many bugs regarding vehicles and tents, along with the duping problems, it's really just better to not use them unless needed anyway. Besides, if I had everything I could ever need for several lifetimes stored in my tents, the game would get quite boring.

Yes our clan does have a camp set up, any extra supplies gained on our travels get put there incase of emergencies etc. same applies if any vehicles are found... just nice to know there is backup if we ever need it.

Greetings, I'm the other admin of the server, even if normally I'm quiet and let fdrk to deal with people. He can be can ass, but I assure u he will not if you don't provoke him. You edited ur post marvon and tried to look smart but it wasn't a clever move. I will asnwer your post and you will notice how few u know about the game and its bugs. We repaired this chopper somedays ago (can't remember the exactly day and i don't want to give false information) when the server was running Dayz version 1.7.2.4 then next days the last beta arma released and we were forced to update the server to the 1.7.2.5 What happens is the version 1.7.2.5 of Dayz DOESN'T SAVE VEHICLES AND TENTS properly and after each restart all vehicles and tents are rolled back at were saved before install that lastest game version. So the chopper u found some days ago was the one we left there and then installed the new version. What it means is everytime the server restart the chopper will appear there. No matter if u save it or crash it or eat it. And for ur information Mavor, You can find plenty posts on the forum about what admins can and can't do...and rollbacks is something we CAN'T do. I suggest u to start read forum now that you registered ;) So when u killed fdrk we were picking the chopper, and I was configuring my controls which were reset (no idea why). And when u killed it, i just flight away with the chopper. About the kick. I can assure you we dont' kick for no reason, would be stupid to kick your pilot when we can recover the chopper at next restart ^_^ There is a simple reason why we dont' kick people and we don't admin abuse ( even if we can't abuse much been admin). We are two single people renting a server. It costs us a lot money every month and the only reason why we do it is because we want a nice server with a lot people in it and out of admin problems. We want people who plays on it have fun and come back to play again with/against us, and we know for that happens you must provide a good "service". You can keep playing on the server if u wish and with time your admin paranoids will dissapear :) Regards, Nesie

I wonder once they see people there how many more will get banned. The lack of response from their side is shockingly quiet. Granted they have better things to do ie. Work or school. Looking forward to seeing their proof and defense as to why they feel the need to ban people looting their camps. And as of 3pm Est my ban has not been lifted by any of the admins of this server. Tempted to know if all of the vehicles were still there ? WooT or anyone care to confirm ? Also curious if a motorcycle is by the Ural or in camp since that is what harette and I took to get there.

I think just because the Ural is made in russia doesn't mean that ATV don't exist there. I think given how rare vehicles seem to be, and how horded they usually are, an addition of a new small vehicle would be great, along with having seperate items to repair the ATV, motorcycle, bicycle, and other small vehicles. Instead of just using the same parts for all vehicles. I don't think the developers shouldn't go so far as to say "Dayz is restricted to russia, and therefore all cars must come from there in order to be realistic." Instead I'm just saying the ural is a iconic piece of Russian motor history that is the only vehicle from Russia that is currently sold world wide. That coupled with the fact that I think crusing around in a motorcycle sidecar with a mounted .50 cal mowing down zombie while listening to Scissor sisters (see youtube link below) is exactly how i'd spend my time in a zombie apocalypse should the day ever come. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFKUnfwBPTU and no this isn't a history class, but since when has learning something interesting been restricted to academic institutions only ?

We are currently considering the same approach, but have two quick questions: 1) Will this bring with it any unwanted side-effects? F.ex missing inventory, vehicles, tents? Or should everything currently on the server be fine? 2) Will Rocket magically show up at our admin's house and beat him up over it?

Obviously they are using something that allows them to see at least where everyone is and where all tents/vehicles are at... but proving it is another thing. What we can prove is admin abuse, and get the server blacklisted.

I see 2 possible cases: 1) Rocket does not have any IT skill at all, he is developing a mod not an entire game engine, after 5 months and over a million of players you can't have a crappy buggy mod like dayz and always apologize saying we are running an ALPHA... take as good example A.C.E mod, it was just awesome.. (it is actually...) This lead me thinking that even the standalone will be affected of those bugs since it will be released in Alpha stage. BTW we have a dev that has already fixed tents and vehicles bug (have look at private hive servers..). UNBELIEVABLE 2) Stand alone means money, Arma 2 Dayz mods was just an experiment to see how to make money..

Sup, i know you have already been informed about the Hackers on DayZ but seriously this is getting fucking out of control 5 servers IN A ROW i go on all from diffrent hosters.. Teleported, Nuked, Hacked Vehicles, so many people are just leaving DayZ because of the outrageous amount of hackers.. Like just look up on youtube " Hackers on DayZ " about 3780 results, thats only ones that have been posted.. 5 Squad Mates have quit/taking rests of DayZ and 8 of my friends from school/irl have uninstalled it.. I know its becoming a Stand Alone game but we don't know when its coming out not to mention the new competition with WarZ, fix the game.

I'm a new player of Dayz and Arma, but am faring quite well. Playing with my third character now, and have survived for four days with decent gear. I sometimes play with a few friends, but am looking for one/more people to team with. I usually play around 17-03 UTC. What I can bring to a team: - Forest fighting tactics (military training, forest area combat, squad/platoon leader) - Entry/support/engagement tactics in an urban environment - Excellent map/navigation skills (I have yet to find a compass, despite looting hundreds or thousands of buildings, still can find my bearings quite easily even in unfamiliar terrain just using a map, watch and geography) Where I like to be: - Heading, coordinating or being a part of a looting team, in the action What I need support with: - Sniper support (yet to master evaluating ranges in the game beyond 300m) - Vehicles (can not pilot a helicopter) What kind of team I am looking for: - Easy going - Ability to follow a plan - size 1-10 - No outright newbie killing/banditry/douchebaggery, though I don't fear firefights PM me if you're a solo player or in a team and I fit your profile. I speak fluent english and finnish.
