There are some servers in the server list with something like that in their name (but they are not passworded)... And sometimes there is also something like "you might lose your character". Is this allowed - or just some clans use servers named like that to hoard vehicles and gear? Because many players will be afraid to lose their progress and will not join such servers. Some of SE #500 servers are named like that, for example.

Newer instance IDs take a few days for vehicles to appear in that instance. Everyone, well.. most people anyway who get a new ID have this problem. They'll show up, don't worry. Give it another couple of days before you start really panicking. It took my server about 5-6 days to have vehicles appear.

We have no vehicles spawning on our server, same problem ? READ THIS DayZ Community Support Jwietchers and Urbanfox Had this to say. Waiting 7 days for the vehicles to spawn is bullocks. The Dev team is aware and fixing it, Priority is high ETA is unknown. Please do not make tickets to your provider or day-z staff as they are not willing (able?) to handle this on a case to case basis. There is no bug report on dev-heaven.net as this is seen as an internal issue Patience is a virtue, and in the current state maybe it is better not to have them for the moment. I have spend enough of my time beating this horse on to http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/71904-new-major-battleye-anti-cheat-features/ to deal with them script kiddies. Sad faced Day-z hosting club. Recommended step by step plan. 1. Make a post include your server name and the number of days vehicles have not spawned in. 2. You are a man, therefore you resist the urge to be a bitch about it. 3. Get your player base involved and posting to show their support. 4. Check this thread at regular intervals to see what is new. 5. Buy eggs. 6. Project negative thoughts on eggs. 7. When eggs start to smell see step 8 8. Find out where Rocket lives and depending on your whereabouts arrange appropriate transportation. 9. Go to rockets house and trow eggs on house. Original OP So i set up a VDS with the intention to host a day-z server. I got whitelisted and the server is working great and has been up for 3 days now. But sadly no vehicles spawn in. My users are disapointed and so am i. essensialy i am paying for a half working server at this moment. i would like to resolve this issue, but before i go make tickets i would like to know if this is something on my side. If anybody resolved this problem i would like to hear about it. feel free to post theories. My initial toughts was that they would spawn in at an later date to prevent the owner from grabbing them all. (not that it would stop the other players from taking them back) But i am now wondering if this has something to do with my mission file or instance or fuckup at hives side. Thanks in advance, Dark

Head to edge of the map move 5k north thats where all the vehicles are

Surely this has already been posted, but...... @Rocket/DayZ Team - Tonight I was watching a mate and his kid playing for a few hours and they were plauged by artifacting just as bad as I had experienced in 1.7.2.4. I haven't been near my PC to update and try so their's is the only example I've got of it. The cause of the issue were the destroyed models of military vehicles and military loot. Another point to all those with "definate, 100% fixes.....", GFX drivers were up-to-date and -flush actually made it worse on more than one occasion. Thanks anyway for your effort, I hope you can clear this one up soon.

1. I want to see your sources, just so I can see where I was wrong. 2. If everyone has one, why is it that most of the people I kill, even those with AS50s and NVGs, don't have one? 3. Everyone has NVGs, Vehicles and AS50s, too, right? 4. Ghillies take away the importance of using concealment. .50 cal rifles take away the importance of AIM, as any bullet insta-kills. M136s... Yeah, I can miss you and still kill your whole team and your truck for good measure, with 1 rocket. EDIT: M203 HE, I miss and you still take 8k damage and get knocked out. Frag grenades make cover indoors useless. Tents make death useless. Trucks make running useless, but fuel gets a use. Give and take. If you start using the L85 and stop using your ears, people will walk up behind you can get a new L85 as a gift from your corpse. I counter points as I can. I switch because I've hit the same point over and over again. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER... It becomes tedious.

Hey there, having a new server since 7 days now, did multiple restarts and checked spawns all over the map every day with 5ppl. Never ever found a single car. What is wrong with it? It starts to get annoying like hell.

Heli crashes, campsites, vehicles, dead bodies, and thunder domes all have them.

Obviously, then, the Ghillie suit, all .50 rifles, all high explosives, vehicles and hueys are OP, as well as NVG and anything that even remotely resembles a firearm. Out of context? Sure. Cite it like God? Rocket is no God. But he is the creator of DayZ. If he wants it added, it will be unless the engine doesn't allow it. If he doesn't want it, it doesn't go in. It is up to him in the end, not you, not me. Personally, I like to believe he stopped posting so often because he is busy doing things in real life. But for your amusement, "All hail our great zombie overlord, the almighty Dean 'Rocket' Hall." Remove the L85 because it is what? Overpowered? No... That can't have anything to do with balance. Oh no, never. Never. How would removing the L85 make a positive impact? Ghillies would have less counters against them. 1 less, that is rare, and beyond duping nearly impossible to find. Wait, that would mean you want some kind of... should I say it? Balance?

They will be out of bounds and not in map. Players can still save vehicles way out of bounds as the fix never worked

so we have a new server for about a week now and no vehicles spawn. and i really watched it... what is the problem?

Oh I know him (Mr A) is a coward. I've satchel charged his ass for ALT F4ing multiple times, I consider ALT F4ing cowardice and anyone in my clan/group that ALT F4 usually get murdered at some point. Regardless he ALT F4's the moment he knows someones near him so yeah, I just came on the attack because he said he was banned. I'm not going to show any remorse because after launching my attack you attempted to take the server down/restart to prevent me from completing my attack. I'm 90% sure that I managed to get those last of your vehicles just in time (literally 5 seconds before restart). So don't come on here trying to act innocent when you clearly went to the server admin saying to restart the server to stop my attack which is just cheap In the future fight like men instead of restarting server/banning people for finding your camp. My "buddy" even snuck up to one of you and tried saying in direct chat he didn't want any trouble and you turn around and try to murder him, what do you expect him to do? If you weren't so violent your vehicles would be fine right now wouldn't they. Regardless I'm still open for hire against those who admin abuse/other things. Feel free to contact me

A lot actually remains intact. Infact, many times the US military hits their own crashed aircraft and vehicles with cruise missiles when they can't drag the wreck away. Scopes aren't as well, weak, as you seem to think they are. I'd have to hammer mine against hard objects over and over again just to break them. And unless something vital is destroyed, you can put loose parts back together. Also think of it this way, 7 zombies, 3-4 guns. Something was destroyed in the crash. You don't find a ton of working stuff, and those walking zombies sure did survive, so that'll mean that hardware probably made it out as well. I'm not capable of having a civil conversation, no. I have a short temper, and people tend to set me off rather quickly. And the sight is fictional? Cool, better tell the militaries of the world they have been giving thermal weapon sights that don't exist to their soldiers. And we aren't reverse engineering it. We are USING it. We aren't building it, we are using parts found on a wreckage. Turns out, they work. Who knew? Oh and my favorite part, "Says who? The game is still in alpha, and you're assuming that this can't change? That seems a bit silly." Look down. Little bit further. One more line, please. You'll find your answer soon enough.

Hello. So in the next week I'll be starting a YouTube series of me just going around blowing stuff up (sadly my Xsplit isn't upgraded yet so can't record anything for a few more days). Anyway my clan is pretty much providing me with a constant stream of satchel charges that they got from trades/raiding other camps/whatnot. I therefore am open to be hired by others. What I do: Blow up vehicles Tents included (although flattened tents just come back straight after a restart so it's more vehicle ownage than anything). Optional: Waiting for the clan/owners of the camp to return to base before setting off charges for maximum humiliation. The catch: I prefer to attack/blow up camps/vehicles owned by those who cheat/abuse. I get no enjoyment from blowing up camps that people have legitimately worked hard to get and DEFEND. If you ever found another clans camp/server owners camp on any server and they ban you because you found it, I don't like that, therefore these types of people are my prefered target. Everyone knows the kind of people I mean, we get enough server reports of "admin abuse" by people being banned for finding camps. Instead of just reporting it, let me have a crack at it. ;) How this started: I have a friend who came to me yesterday because he was on a DayZ server (US199) and he was riding around on a pedal bike heading up north. Well he stumbles upon this clans camp and he says in direct chat that he doesn't want to raid their camp, well they start shooting him and he's forced to open fire and kill the 1 guy at the camp. So he moves a bit down the road and he stumbles upon part 2 of their camp, well theres someone else there and he to starts opening fire. Well he's forced to kill that guy aswell. Well after that he gets banned, basically because he'd killed the defenders (he wasn't going in to check tents, he just wanted his pedal bike back and to leave). Well then he gets banned because that clan had noone back at camp defending it. So I go in with my satchel charges and blow up: 1 Ural, 1 Flatbed, 1 pedal bike, 1 motorcycle, 1 red car, 1 ATV. Morale of the story: Don't ban people for finding your camp otherwise if I find out about it i'll be coming for you to exact some revenge for the common man (been banned in the past for finding peoples camps aswell and i'm tired of it). If you'd like my assistance in blowing up peoples camps: Send my a PM/Message saying: What they did to deserve such an act (not just gonna bomb people who don't have it coming) What server they're on Coordinates (general coordinates 1000m2 radius would be prefered as a minimum standard) Number of Vehicles (Blowing up tents just wastes my satchel charges) Why this is in Server General: Because it's the best place to put it, as I raid servers who're owned by those who ban for finding camps/other similar reasons

You don't - these things are saved hive-side. If there is anything fundamentally wrong with your vehicles (e.g. none present for some reason) you can contact the devteam to reset the positions - but this will not work in case you only want to have a fresh start to be able to grab vehicles :)

Over the past couple of weeks it has gotten really bad with hackers, hopefully you will stick it out as it seems that battleye is atleast trying to get shit together. but with that said I have seen more hackers in Dayz then i have in the entire rest of my gaming carrer combined (roughly 25 years of gaming from consoles to PC). Infact a couple of days ago I actually did what I guess you could call an experiment. after my team logged out for the night and being freshly killed in a legit fire fight, I decided to see how bad it really was. I made it a point to join ONLY servers that we're near full and see how many hackers I ran into. Over the course of about 2 1/2 to 3 hours I encountered hackers roughly every 15-45 min's. after each encounter I would change my IGN and change servers, it got to the point that i couldnt even make it to cherno or elektro to gather basic supplies before I got killed. Infact the only time I actually made to a major city was the last run before i logged out that night. but even then I made it to cherno and it was full of busses; there was busses on the silo's, on the factory, some on the fire station and probably about 25-50 just laying around town. now given this is over the course of only 1 night, and alot of it could be writen off as bad luck. Its still pretty bad, over the course of an average day we can usually plan on seeing at least 1 hacker a day. most are fairly uneventfull, hacked weapons and vehicles mostly but they're around. edit: after seeing some of the other replies I do play US servers only just as an FYI edit 2: super late lots of spelling and grammar mistakes :(

How do I reset my server so it is back to the very beginning with all the vehicles respawned in their original locations?

We were the only ones on the server at the time when we hid the vehicles. So I highly doubt that they were stolen. Im just wondering if there might be some bug that makes them despawn or if you need to log in after each server reset to save them again or something like that.

Someone could've seen the vehicles, grabbed them and dipped out, not even caring about the tents.

Yesterday me and my friends found a car and a bus. We filled em up with items and weapons and went out on a ride. when we were about to log out we hid the vehicles in the forest. We also put up a tent and filled that with the most valuable shit. When I logged on today the vehicles had despawned but the tent was there and all items in it was was still in it. So Im just wondering why our vehicles would despawn? Because Im 110% sure that we saved them before we logged out. As no items was stolen from the tent Im sure that the camp had not been found and the vehicles had been removed that way. Is it possible for the vehicles to just randomly despawn? I thought that it only did that when it was unused for 7 days or if it was not saved upon logout.

This is an alpha, and most of the time games are wiped in beta or on release. That means EVERYTHING is deleted from the saves. No duped items. I expect this to happen either when Arma3 comes out, or when the game goes standalone. Either way, all the duped stuff will be gone forever, baring someone finding a new way to dupe items. And Thermal sights are a counter to concealment, like NVGs are a counter to nighttime, Ghillies are a counter to some looking in your direction, and grenades are a counter to someone hiding in a building. Want more counters? AS50 nato .50cal rounds for vehicles, as well are M136s. And heatpacks for cold. Antibiotics for catching a disease, and let's look at silenced weapons. They counter themselves. L85s are suppose to be extremely rare. Ghillies are less so. Thermals are a hard counter to people hiding in bushes and ghillie-suit users hiding on hilltops. You don't balance a game based on exploits, you fix those exploits.

So, has anyone ever had any really tense moments where things went horribly wrong because you judged a situation poorly? My friend and I had just found a nice Ural. It was one of our first vehicles so we were guarding it with our lives. The only thing it needed was some engine parts and fuel-tank parts. We stopped by a industrial site along the coast to find supplies. As I exited the vehicle... a survivor started running right for the hood of the car. He then brings his hand back, grenade charging to be thrown right through the windshield of our shiny new car. "FLOOR IT!" I scream to my friend. He pushes the accelerator, runs the guy over instantly killing him, and I prepared myself to be blown away. And thats when the tin can he threw at our car didn't explode. Awkward!

Just watched two hackers duke it out in cherno, I had a pretty good view of things. So i hear a truck honking its horn and I take fire at it with my DMR it speeds off past the supermarket and up to the cabin on the hill. OUT OF NO WHERE a car pops up beside the truck. So I take a few shots and then they all jump out of their vehicles and start pumping round after round into each other at pointblank range. I kid you not they were like two feet apart and not even flinching at amount of rounds being taken * I even pump a few rounds into them * Both vehicles then exploded and the two still go at it like NOTHING HAPPENED. I said fuck this horseshit and logged off. Now im going to watch battle royal and sulk .

Butcher Petes all around. Heard this one guy duped a single satchel into fourty, then blew up the entirety of Cherno once. After baiting the entire server in there talking about vehicles fulla guns and NVGs and such.

... Now all I know about this is what I've read in this channel and (rage much?) these are my thoughts. Should he be banned? No Should he have some sort of reprimand? Yes. Before I continue I want to say that I don't like hackers and I've been killed many more times by them than what I would have liked. Having a fresh spawn getting teleported into the air? There's some hilarity in that. Having a +15 day character with really great gear getting teleported into the air? Not so much fun. I can understand the appeal of goofing around with hacked items or vehicles if you have the opportunity for as long as it didn't affect any other player (which includes giving an unfair power advantage) or the game in some how, and if I'm correct then this is what happened and in the end it sounds like he dropped everything hacked, doing the honourable thing. It seems that the people who want to see action taken are not so much pro banning him as they want him to get a reprimand about increasing the interest in hacking and portraying it in a positive way and this I agree with. Hacking is Bad. It's like giving a gun to people, some will be responsible, others will shoot down the first person they see. Anyhow. There are my two cents and please don't rage.
