Taking the ATVs out for a spin and making ourselfs useful by giving lifts to mates. Let me tell you, these things are a lot of fun. Also check out the other video I posted some time ago(thread got lost after the rollback) How my ghillie suit saved my life:

Date/Time: 12/06/2012 13:50 What happened: Getting in new vehicles added, rather than getting in the PBX it dunked me in the water first Where you were: At the Guba inlet What you were doing: Trying to get in *Current installed version: 1.7 *Server(s) you were on: UK3 *Your system specs: 8GB Ram, Windows 7 64 Bit, i5 2500K, AMD Radeon HD 6800 *Timeline of events before/after error: Just ran up north and tried to get in it Ran to where the PBX spawns at the Guba, it's a new spawn and nobody has moved it, I select to get into it from the shore and it puts me swimming in the water despite it being at the shore for half a second during which time I see I've lost everything, before then putting me in the driver seat. Can see all my gear at the bottom of the water, and it's put all the gear further out than where me or the boat is. But it won't let me get the gear back. http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4677/40271470.jpg http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/1388/96462568.jpg Feeling a bit annoyed since it should have put me as the driver, rather than dunking me in the water first. Lost Big cayote bag NVGs Rangefinder Hatchet Watch Toolbox Compass GPS Knife Matches 2x camping tent M4 CCO SD (no mags) DMR and 3 mags Ghillie suit still in its parcel 2x tents Kept my M9SD with no ammo. Would like a character fix if possible. If not, at least be aware of the bug. :) Thanks guys.

Most of the vehicles are already repaired by a certain group in each server. and they do this SUPER easy with the item duping bug. the vehicles should completely reset later when the fix for the item dupe bug comes out. This item dupe bug is really ruining with the ingame item supplies. i see gps and NVG in every bodies. i actually want a whole character+item reset in the future. so the amount of rare loot is kept to minimum.

I Restarted my Server today after that all that Vehicles are gone ? Whats Wrong, has that something to do with the Hive ? Server: Germany / Cologne Thx

Hello, on my servers the people write that the vehicles explode when he join it :o ? why this ?^^

Date/Time: 1:03 am central time What happened: ALL tents / vehicles / everything on server disappeared. Where you were: The entire server. What you were doing: Restarting the server due to weird lag issues which caused zombies to run in place from the viewpoints of 3 people. *Current installed version: 1.7 *Server(s) you were on: Tx11 *Your system specs: Good enough. *Timeline of events before/after error: Server lagged, restarted, stuff gone.

For the 3rd day in a a row when we logged in we have found that our car is gone. We are hiding them in very remote locations and even the atvs are well hidden inside pine trees yet every day without fail they are gone. We are making sure to click save several times before we log. Is someone finding our stuff? If so how? Or is something else going on with the server and saving vehicles or server restarting doing anything

Question: How do you know when your Anti-Cheat is not worth a damn? Answer: When content creators focus pretty much on catching cheaters in your game instead of making content about how wonderful your game is. There are now a couple of dozen DayZ content creators solely making videos about catching cheaters. The granddaddy that showed them the way is Anarchy. He has other gameplay videos and stuff from other games, but his bread and butter is catching cheaters in DayZ. It's really sad this is necessary and the game suffers for it. But like the current state of vehicles, BI doesn't seem to care.

Once upon a time I found a UAZ (Red). It was my first vehicle ever and I was jizzing all over the place after I fixed the wheels, hull, and engine. While cruising through Polana I maneuvered to dodge some debris. I must have bumped it, (Dispite the lack of a banging noise) because my UAZ (Red) slowed to a stop almost instantly! Then I exploded. Another time, I was trying to get through Gorka with my newly acquired Old Hatchback... Green everything, but an orange Engine of course. I hit a fence with the hopes of knocking it over. But naturally my Hatchback merged with the fence, and promptly exploded. I totally understand this is an Alpha, and I'm not raging like a bitch... But damn, it's like their carrying landmines or something!

As in the topic title... Me and a few friends were running as a group on SE4 server a few days ago... We found in the space of 45mins: - a tractor [2 guys camo/ghillie repairing it, camo died, my guys found it mins later - ghillie boy had fled] - a v3s truck [found as i was running back to the skirmish] - 3-4 'small boats' [found after v3s desync killed us all] - rubber dingy [this thing is totally badass.] I -believe- we were the cause of the next 3-4 server crashes tbh, although obviously i cant attest to this because i dont know -exactly- what every other player on the server was doing... But basically as soon as we got in and started driving/boating around, it would go fine for a good 5 minutes before it would start to desync.. For myself, as a passenger, it was the usual arma-passenger-related-desync... but slightly worse. My position would stop being updated and although i can hear the engine running the truck is static with the wheels spinning accompanied by at least a yellow-lag-chain... Although i believe in some cases there was no indicator of lag and also we were getting no desync in the 'p' menu, but it was obviously still broken as our comms through voip quickly went to discussing our different locations. This was then accompanied by the server crashing... We managed to check out the island using the dingy successfully, it was a larf for the most part... So i mean, the vehicles are working, but (and dont get me wrong, i KNOW its an alpha) but in its current state they were more deadly than the deadliest of players... But the time spent refueling the vehicles and actually having a 'goal' - other than 'GEAR UP' - was quite interesting, also better having to question whether to take tht jerry can and scrap metal or extra ammo :) So... lots of fun - but, because of the fact it only worked for, at most 15 minutes.. until it crashed.. It was shortlived fun before rage insued. Stability would be great! :D Easier said than done though, rite?

I'd like to see global Vehicles (like my inventory) in DayZ. It would allow players to have vehicles and dont worry about not getting the vehicle to drive because the server crashed or was shutdown forever.

Ok I know there has been a lot of thread already on spawn points for vehicles, but I can't seem to ever see one. For exemple, I went to the spot near the Hotel in Cherno on about 4 different servers and could never see any car or truck that I could enter. I did the same thing by going on the road to the west of Elektro (there is supposed to be 2 cars on the way between cherno and elektro) and went on 3 different server. Still nothing. Is there any trick to catch one or am I just extremely unlucky and each time someone already took it?

So I did a few forum searches and THEN I did a few google searches. Found no such list. Can anyone help me out with servers that are REGULAR difficulty and have vehicles enabled? The server I found a vehicle on (Chicago 34) is down and has been for the past full day :( so I need some new ones. Thanks in advance !!

Some of those got addressed in 2021, not fully but they did touch up on it. Base building - rebalanced walls and reworked raiding (while more materials would be nice... bases aren't their focus for now) Medical system - reworked immune system, added fever effects, added infected wounds Carrying bodies - although only for chickens, but I know what you mean. Would be cool to carry people if they are hurt or dead. Spray paint - while it would be cool to have, I don't think it's on their roadmap for now. Working AI - Like AI soldiers? Why? Bow's are rumored to come in 1.16, and vehicles... well we know the story. I heard early 2022 they'll try working on it. They never promised a fix, only said they will try to fix it thus far. I'm sure devs would love to have all of those features fleshed out in the game, but they are pretty much making a new game since the engine change and with limited human resources at that.

@Girth Brooks I love DayZ, I can't stand how BI treats the community. From Flashpoint forward, it's gotten worse and worse. The apologists just conveniently don't pay attention to what BI says and then NOT do, many times the EXACT opposite. Prime example They said they would fix the desync and vehicle physics issues in 2021 with all the new staff they received. Did NOT happen. I do love this game, but the development company behind it has never figured out how to handle the community around it's IP's. DayZ always HAS potential, but like so many other BI games, it will likely never reach it. It took BI almost 8 years to get Arma 3 and it's engine in such a good state that the total conversions and other serious mods actually functioned properly. Vehicles were in really, REALLY good shape in Arma 3. But in DayZ, modders have repeatedly said that vehicles use bullet physics and that is one huge reason why they don't really act like vehicles to begin with, that, and the fact, that a deliberate change was made to make the server have authority over vehicle positions vs the client to keep hackers from abusing them. Not that hackers don't abuse nearly everything else in the game, but those vehicles won't be hacked! Nor will they be usable by the player base in some kind of consistent basis without them being modded to death. Mods don't fix the problems with vehicles, they simply cover up BI's inadequacy of you know, actually correcting them in code. I love DayZ more than ANY other BI game, and I hope BI genuinely proves me wrong, I really do, but like so many other promises and new features and on and on that they introduce and NEVER actually make stable and work properly, I fear vehicles in DayZ will follow that trend. This is what you get into when you buy a BI game. There will always be major game mechanics that neverr work right and get abandoned.

Bows, spray paint, vehicles, base building, medical systems, working AI, soft skills, carrying bodies... I can go on.

I was wondering about how vehicles work on servers. Im pretty sure they are reliant to a specific server correct? As in say you remake a heli and switch servers it is no longer there?

From what I've seen since the latest patch, crashed helis and repairable cars can't be entered. The scroll menu option for it just never comes up.

Date/Time: 17:30 GMT What happened: Unable to fill Jerrycans unless i relog, Vehicles lose inventory on server restart Where you were: NE Airfield What you were doing: Attempting to refill Jerrycan *Current installed version: 1.5.8.4 *Server(s) you were on: UK8 *Your system specs: n/a *Timeline of events before/after error: Drove Vehicle up to tank, go out, couldnt refil, just got an option at the tank to save UAZ. Relogged could fill jerry. After the Jerry was emptied into UAZ could no longer fill it again, instead got save UAZ option at tank. Also from 2 vehicles all gear had dissapeared but gear remained saved in the tents

Did you know only 28 vehicles spawn on server resets? and that only 15 of them are cars? Did you know when vehicles blow up they don't come back? Honestly when I played Taw_Tonic's wasteland before Dayz came out the balance of cars was pretty nice. For this I would expect 50-60 vehicles on the map. More civilian cars should be introduced there is too little variety. Vehicles in dayz should play a bigger role. Considering how many parts you find laying around.

Found a couple of crashed venoms recently, both were inaccessible. Couldn't mount the gunner seat. Also found a repairable car but wasn't able to enter it either. Anybody else having these problems?

Date/Time: 23, May 2012 10pm -8 PST What happened: Found a car (red). Went up to car with a toolbox and engine parts (followed by tire, jerry can, scrap metal). Tried to find the repair option in the scroll wheel. Tried right clicking the items. Where you were: Middle of a field near a small town. What you were doing: Trying to repair acar *Current installed version: 1.5.8.4 *Server(s) you were on: FR 2 *Your system specs: I7 2600K, GTX 570, 16GB RAM *Timeline of events before/after error: N/A

So, what do you guys think about this? Any criticism, hate, or love is welcomed below. It's a free internet! Humvees: M240 mounted Humvee: Range=90 kilometers. Fuel capacity=300 liters. Armament=One M240B machine gun mounted on the roof. Rarity=5-10 per server. Seats=5+1 gunner seat.(No idea for item slots) Very loud engine, and high profile (easy to see). Bullets should be deflected by the glass, but 2-3 rounds, depending on the weapon, would penetrate and hit a passenger. Speed on road: 100 kilometers per hour, off road 75 KPH. "Ass Monkey" Humvee: Transport Humvee. Range=130 kilometers. Fuel capacity= 350 liters. No armament. Rarity=4-6 per server. 7 seats, however should have DOUBLE the item slots of any other vehicle, as this is a transport vehicle. Should have slightly less armor than M240 humvee. Speed on road, 120 kilometers, speed off road 90 KPH. UH-60 BlackHawk: Transport chopper with side mounted miniguns. Seats=14+2 gunner seats. Just as many item slots as UH-1H Huey, maybe slightly more. (It is bigger) Top speed= 250 KPH. Fuel capacity=800 liters, range=900 KM (it is slightly more fuel efficient than the gas-guzzling Huey). Armament=2x door mounted M134 miniguns. Incredibly loud, should be louder than the Huey in this mod, and the sound of these BlackHawks should be louder than in the original game. I mean, seriously loud. Like-hear-it-from-a-mile-away-loud. This should only spawn at military fields, and spawn 1-2 per server. "Medevac" UH-60 Blackhawk: Transport chopper made for medevacing injured troops from the battlespace. Seats=12, plus two patient litters. This chopper should have at least 50 slots for blood bags, bandages, painkillers, morphine, Epipens etc. Top speed=275 KPH. Fuel capacity=900 liters, range 950 KM(it's an ambulance helo, if people are doing good deeds with it, then they should be able to get where they are going). No armament. But players should be able to fire their guns out of the aircraft. In the aircraft, players should be able to bandage, give morphine and painkillers, and blood to themselves and others, this is an ambulance after all. And remember, Devs, this is only a suggestion. If you don't like something, change as much as you wish. Could we get a mod in here to sticky this/send it to the devs?

It's totally bugged. When you walk next to a car or bus the "save car or save bus" option will not disappear. You cant get the menu to repair any vehicle either!!! Anyone having this issue?
