US330 is messed up. No crash sites are spawning all vehicles from earlier are magically gone, although they were saved and we logged out next to them only 9 or so hours ago. And by none of the vehicles are there, I mean none of them. They were well hidden, and our tents are missing as well. I don't know what happened, but loot is pretty weird too. Any server admin who can fix this?

I support that ... Same with vehicles ...

you can trade vehicles cross server?

I'm in a clan and I can guarantee you we wont park them off the map somewhere and let them collect dust, especially the heli , what fun would that be. We are careful what situation we use vehicles in, like picking up new spawns is usually done with atv/motorbike or sometimes a car depending on what we have. When we have something like the Ural(blue truck) with its crazy capacity to hold gear that puppy usually is parked as a mobile storage shed. If we find an enemy base big enough to warrant it we might use it to grab everything in one go

on my server DE 917 after every restart all vehicles are on the respawn position and must repaired again. Items in tents are not saving, too......i dont know what i must do :(

Our server was updated yesterday as well and everything seems to be working great. Both tents and vehicles appear to save just fine. We are just waiting for the helicopters now. <3

Vaquxine, how is saving tents & vehicles going for you?

1st Person Brought arma2 PMC BAF long time ago, not just for dayz 3rd Person only driving armed vehicles cannot turn out the head.

Awesome server, found a van, hid the van, lost the van, and I know you guys probably already hoarded the rest of the vehicles :P

Nice. I got to 70 and 6 bandits before i got lazy and ignored my golden rule (always move after firing). Needless to say i got owned, but for some reason all they took was my matches :huh: . Up to 4 now, but i think i've got past the killing for fun aspect, and now it's become a "gather as many vehicles" game

Read OP. As of right now, servers assigned an instance id that is 6001+ do not have vehicles spawning. I was told by vilayer that they were having a meeting to figure out when they were being implemented. It's kind of a big let down to have a server with no vehicles, and most players who join searching for vehicles aren't that happy when they find out there's none to be had. Any ideas?

Does anyone else having a problem with items not being saved in tents and vehicles? Or might it be a server problem? I found an URAL last night and put in some more weps and shit and when the server restarted (session lost) It got rollbacked to the same items it had when I found it.

AA is essentially the same as playing on a higher resolution, but it takes alot of performance on your GPU. In Arma, you don't get much out of increasing AA, the edges on most objects are pretty smooth anyway since most objects are large and won't have a huge impact from AA. I have not advised people to turn it off without any reason. Vsync stands for Vertical Sync, vertical is subject to vertical refresh rate of your monitor, which is the refreshrate you can adjust and is most standardly at 59 or 60. Better screens have 100 or 120 hz. Arma is the first game I have encountered this logic, but I would not be surprised if this was the case on several games, just not as "black & white" as Arma is on it. Servers have FPS aswell, they usually are 1-3 FPS and depending on if they fluctuate or are barely at 1, clients will be limited due to client/server communication, the client has to wait for the server to catch up. If packetloss occurs, there will be net lag yes. In arma though there's the term of "desync" where the server actions are running slower than normal due to some reason. One example being helicopters (the vehicles, before they were disabled) caused a ton of desync due to moving very fast and DayZ executing scripts based on distance traveled. This kind of desync causes in game time to run slower, zombies to act weird, item spawn and spawning in general to be erratic.

I like that idea, ive not had any vehicles yet, but that feature would be awesome. :) there are some stationary ones near berezino, they are good at hiding stuff. ^_^

Non the less hoarding vehicles outside of the map is kind of shit. I believe they are now doing weekly wipes of everything outside the map. I dislike it personally because if you have vehicles you can travel a fair way out that no one on foot would bother going to find. On to the topic, you won't get banned for it.

Like the topic title says, you could place a camo net on your vehicles as well as tents to reduce the chances of other survivors finding them. Right now you can see Ural from really high distances as it is big and blue.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/25099-out-of-bounds-itemvehicles-cleanup-2012-07-06/ There's info on the despawning of vehicles outside of map boundaries.

Does that mean the issue with vehicles not spawning in instance ids over 6000 will be sorted out and I'll have vehicles on my server now? I didn't quite understand the comment you made. I'm just waiting for word on the vehicles being added to my server and everyone else with a 6000+ ID.

Vehicles off the map reset in under 12 hours. This is why you can't store vehicles off the map, like I said in the OP. Firstly, those admin abuse threads we get are people who found a camp, took a car, and one of the many, many server restarts servers go through per day happens to hit around before they can stash their vehicle. They immediately come to the forums to cry wolf. Truth is, every time a server reboots its most likely this happens to someone. Locking the server does no good to the admin, even if you steal his vehicle and he notices and locks it, what then? It's not like he knows where the vehicle is so he can get it back. Firstly, could you tell me which 3 servers you run so I'll never join them by accident. You seem to be one of those exact ass-hat admins who abuse their power like no other, since you seem to be 14 judging from the way you post, saying people have serious mental illnesses like they were something to laugh about. You're not superior to anyone man, no matter how many servers you run. No need to look down on people, but you're seriously making us look down on you with your childish posting. I wouldn't say your posts are really 'worth' much either as you pointed out to someone else...

at 6:15 ish CST time, We were in US1091 when I was killed after amushing a vehicle, respawn in bolota, found multiple boats tractors a bus white truck multiple atv's and a car all in the same spot most flipped over but with the parts to fix them in the vehicles. Weapons in the vehicles like FN-FAL's Lee Einfields that PP-Bizon or whatever, I mean all sorts of weapons. Names of People on at the time who I got the names of Kenny Dan Patrick FrozenSilver Scot Turble Fuji Conkey Henock Dextya Boof Nodgile Doctorx250 [ZDS] <== Clan Tag (These ZDS guys were getting DMRs from the tractors and killing my bud) [ZDS] Shootersam12 (that was at about 6:40 CST time) Damoniano Me (Shroom Dancer) ObsidianShadow Noahmarley were all together when it happened. Hope This helps if the admin catches this

Weapons nerf was applied specifically for Arma 2, here's what Marek Spanel, CEO of BiS has said about the changes and the lack of notification: "Because it is all conspiracy (refering to lack of notification). Or maybe we just forgot to list it? On the other hand, the changes have purpose and reasons but here is full description of changes made: 1) Grad and MLRS ammo were not able to knock out vehicles 2) Makarov, 545x39, .45, .303, Slug745 and Sa-61 ammo were more powerfull than they should be" http://forums.bistud...l=1#post2196356 The main reason for weapons nerf seems to be the fact that military units in Arma 2 wear some sort of body armor as standard and the changes were implemented to take this into account, therefore in Arma this all makes some kind of sense. However, in DayZ, no character, (players or Zeds) has armor, so the effects are severe. I would like to think that Rocket either is planning to add armor for players or tweak the damage ratings. Or, of course, do nothing and let us adapt to the changes.

:D So cute, you make it sound like you are a good player cause you can be bothered to walk around in the wilderness for 10 hours per day to search for camps, well sure then. I hope you find our camp if that's the only fun you can have in this game :o) Might be some Sachel charges in the vehicles to whenever you find it. Hfffffffffffffffff running around in teh wilderness

You would expect more vehicles yeah... especially being so large an are, but then i suppose it would just turn to destruction Derby!!

Isn't PvP the goal of this mod? Me and my friend bought this game purely to play Dayz because we liked the idea of a realistic PvP deathmatch shooter game where you have to survive by eating beans, drinking cokes, scavenge your own weapons and ammo. The zombies are just a (fun) addetive. The fact that the entire game is designed around PvP supports this. When you die and start a new character, what are your goals? Thats right, first gather food/water and a starter kit, then head up north for military grade weapons. Once you have those the goal of the game is to kill other players. What else is there to do? Isn't that the ultimate end goal of this game? To get weapons so you can PvP? What else is there to do? Trying to gather all vehicles in the game? That is also PvP as other people will have the vehicles. Trying to survive the longest? Also PvP as you have to kill other players when you meet them as you are scavenging villages (Unless you are sitting in the corner of the map, killing boars and filling your canteens for hours on end but I don't see what the point in that is). Trying to gather all weapons in game when you are not a hacker? Also PvP. This entire mod is designed around PvP, the goal of this mod is to PvP. There is nothing else to play this game for.

yeah same. i hate how fast cars get greedily hoarded never to be seen again. its like that on every server, why? why does a clan need 15 vehicles? just to deprive others of the joy of having one i suppose. the ncr camp is probably in the NW like all the other camps, i heard they are bandits so i will try to steal a car
