Pirated versions of the game are subjected to Degrade. This means that you will be able to play the game, but parts of it will be changed to render the game unplayable. This includes, but is not limited to; - Being turned into a crow - Weapon(firearms and vehicles) accuracy is so bad you cannot reliably aim at anything that isn't basically touching you - Movement speed slowed down to a crawl To fix it; Buy the actual game. Now, obviously the crow thing happens on legit copies as well, since it's also a spectator mode. (This is what you're experiencing if you have actually bought it from Steam/GamersGate/GreenManGaming/etc.) Best you can do is try a different server(or servers), as well as verify the game cache through Steam. (Right click your game and select Properties.) Which ever of my assumptions is correct, those are your solutions. No matter what you say here will change the facts, so the "I bought the game from Steam" is pointless, as I've covered both topics.

What I'm looking for: 2-4 guys who can be anywhere from Aggressive players to full on sociopaths. I'm currently playing breaking point, and I find that the majority of people I team up with in-game are either sqeakers, or absolutely useless in a gun fight. I'm tired of carrying 14 year olds, and groups of pseudo-bambis. I want a mature (18+ preferred, but you're fine as long as you're 16+ and don't squeak) group of like-minded gunslingers who know their way around the game mechanics, tactics, base and vehicle maintenance, and most of all - know their way around a gun battle. If you have a clan or group on breaking point that is like this, I'd be willing to check it out - if you're interested in playing with me, then send me a message. My play style: I tend to do whatever I feel like doing at the moment, some times I feel like being friendly, and possibly lending out a helping hand to a stranger. Sometimes I feel like murdering anyone I see, regardless of how out gunned, out manned, or out vehicle'd. I don't care about gear, it's fun to have a flourishing camp, and vehicles, but when it comes right down to it...they're there to be used, and I plan on putting them to use. I don't care if all I have is a taser and hatchet to my name, I'm slapping that thing into drive-stun mode and going out and chopping down some family trees. Trust is always an issue, and I'm letting you know now...I won't trust you in so much as I don't have a 1 - 4 bases you don't know about, or a couple vehicles stashed somewhere. Rule #1 is never put yourself in a position to be royally screwed. I won't. If you want to try and betray me in the field or something? fine. But I'm more valuable watching your back than I am for my coyote backpack and m14 AIM. Though I'm unlikely to trust you fully until you earn it, at least you'll always know where you stand with me. Honesty is the best way to build a lasting bandit compact. I have good eyes, good ears, I know when to keep my mouth shut, I'm not some socially inept basement dweller, and I put holes in more necks than tracheotomies. Skype: MATTTHORNZ

Telling people where the "best spots" are is kinda silly. What you should do is say where NOT to put a camp. My first and last clan in dayz were adamant about setting up camps in places that were marked on maps. Like abandoned castles.. because they were "easy to defend". Sure they are. If you have people on to defend it. Otherwise its like an all you can grab buffet. IMO: (and Im prolly completely wrong) 1. The best places to put camps are places you dont tell anyone about. 2. Ideally you would have decoy camps scattered around your actual main camp where you put trash loot or stuff you dont mind to lose. Hopefully people would grab something and run away, not even noticing your main camps hidden in some trees or wheverer you have it. 3. Never put your camp down where it is listed on the map. This is especially important for small locations like Green Mountain. People WILL come and check the map markers either to sight see or to see if idiots have put camps down there. 4. Seperate your vehicles and tents. Having all your vehicles and tents clustered together just increases the profile of your camp from the air, or from the ground. 5. DEFINITELY seperate your camoflaged vehicles from your colored vehicles. 1 bus. 2 blue Vans and a white GAZ parked next to a camoflaged UAZ = lolz Really you have to decide what kinda camp you want to set up. Something you can "defend" where you park vehicles next to each other or an in-game structure or town. Or do you want to be more stealty and not have all your eggs in 1 basket somewhere in the wilderness. Its your call. As I said these are just a few things off the top of my head and could be completely wrong. They just seem "right" to me.

50 person server Rmod 2.1 ( Download here : http://offgaming.us/rmod/download ) Night / Daytime Spawn with full loadout w/nvg's Tons of Vehicles Friendly / Bandit AI Bridge to Skaliski Island Cherno / Elecktro street / city lights Custom Loot Spawns Friendly Admins Teamspeak server @ 64.34.162.240:9162 http://youtu.be/dZ6RGwgfjR0

We have been observing them somewhat to a certain extent. We got word that they were moving back and forth from cherno and elektro, the reason was unknown. But we did manage to get the information on their current vehicles they own, though we did not shoot at them, if they knew we knew what vehicles they had we feared they might have destroyed them and searched for new ones.

We've added donator packs, including Wardrobe. Which means you have the ability to change into 15 different skins. No shit! Scripts using so far: - Streetlights - Auto Refuel - More Towns/More Military buildings - Supply Drops + fixed helicrashes - Vehicle Flip - Wardrobe (skins for donators) We fixed the auto restart, fixed the respawn rate of vehicles. Got cheap donator packs. The server is running now for a good week, experiencing no lag due to new host of Dayzpriv.com Our old server was running very good, but we had to change host because the lag in Dayz can be bloody annoying! We would like to see our new server packed with old and new players, signing up is not a must, but we would love if you would join our little community @ www.saints-solace.enjin.com

Yes, I prefer a modded server ... modded by me and perhaps a select few others, including of course the DayZ Community Dev team. What? You ask. If done carefully and with proper respect for the original dev's vision, one can realize his or her own zombie apocalypse vision on their private server which is completely and soley thanks to Rocket's creation of DayZ in the first place, and gifted coders around the web. Rather than stomp some more upon the well trodden grass on the path of a bajillion vehicles and main battle tanks in your pocket as starting gear, I personally have been trying to make DayZ as difficult as possible .... within some reason. But anyway, modded servers can almost be as good as the original flavor, and I see no reason not to mod and script your server. It's entirely up to the individual player whether or not to log in to or remain on a server with mods that turn them off.

Hello guys, Why are people so hostile towards vanilla servers? I look through the server list and I see bullshit like 1 million vehicles, 1000 choppers, start with AS50, no bandits, day only. Some of this is of course exaggerated, but I literally only found 1 single vanilla server with players on and that server did not have the settings I wanted(nameplates.. etc). What is your opinion?

URGRGRGRGRHRHHHHHHGHHGGHHGH!!!!!!! I know you're trolling but I STILL HAVE TO ANSWER!!!!!! GOD HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! FFS...... Can't..... not ....... answer!!!!!! The reason vehicles are being held back is to give them a complete overhaul (customisation, damage ect). Having to develop another game mechanic such as riding pigs around instead would pretty much defeat the purpose of doing this. When I first played DayZ seeing a vehicle was very rare, I hope it's like this in the SA too. I played for weeks before I saw one and I hope the SA makes them rare and special again.

Hmmm Very strange that military forces all over the world use software made by BI Simulations for training their soldiers instead of Battlefield 3 ...maybe because Arma is a serious military simulator and current Battlefield nothing else than a Call of Duty clone with better graphics and vehicles.... http://products.bisimulations.com/

I support your idea. Maybe no as crazy as that, but SOME sort of transport would be bliss. I for one will not play until vehicles are implemented. We need chopper bikes btw :)

IMO, all vehicles are too slow except the SUV. I am sure they have a good reason that i have yet to discover, but why the hell does a sedan only go about 20-30 offroad? I am pretty sure I can make a sedan go faster than that in real life.

Added about 50 or more vehicles and added a better debug monitor just need to update some code for it to work will be working by 12 pm est!

DayZ After Infection server up and running looking for more regular players! Search for DayZ After to join us. Map = Chernarus - Active admins - Clear Roads!!! - Custom map (military barracks in the cities and more added to airfields) - 24/7 Daytime - 250+ Vehicles (military vehicles as well) - Auto Refueling more to come with more numbers!! Have a clan? If you make us your home we're giving away one free clan base to first clan who plays regularly on our server! Ask [NMS] Jester J in game about the details.

Added: Custom Faces are now enabled. Let me know if you have issues with this feature as it's out of my control, it needs to be enabled by my server provider. UPDATED: Due to popular demand, the map now has a community base and trading post closer to the south coast, it's on Skalisty Island and you get to it by crossing the bridge and heading South over the hill, you'll come to a hanger with 3 helipads off to the side. Anything left inside the hanger is community shared resources (only the stuff inside vehicles, NOT the vehicles themselves, so please don't take vehicles), you take what you like from the vehicles and give back what you like (if you can , try to replace what you take, as we may not always get time to replenish supplies). Anything outside the hanger is left at the owners risk, although we suggest that all trades take place outside in front of the hanger with an admin present (your choice). Anyone caught abusing the community base and trading post will be banned. WARNING: The community base and trading post is right next to the admin base. If you get a message that you are entering a restricted area, please turn back or you face being teleported off the island. We cannot replace items lost due to this security feature!

I don't think we should worry about vehicles in the Alpha. They just need to see how all of their hard work has paid off, and if it works.

You could try our server, we have reworked the loot table to make gear a lot rarer, especially the high end military weapons. We do have more vehicles than you were looking for but they do all spawn in damaged, and many are in new locations so will be harder to find. click on my signature for more details

I'm looking for a Good Survival Server. What in my eyes is a Survival server? ====Starting Load out==== -Painkillers -waterbottle -Makarov -bandage ========================= ====Server Side==== -Scarce Loot -Barely any Backpacks -Barely any food -cranked down hospital loot -Barely Any Vehicles. 8-9 unrepaired =================== If you Have Any server Close to this, please Share them. If there was a previous version of DayZ, that featured the spawn ratio, please share the version. Please, when sharing, put in this format. ==================== ServerName IP:Port Veteran Vehicle amount ====================

As above, theres a current bug with repairing all vehicles, the guy doing the repairs need to get in the drivers seat then get out so the vehicle sync's to his character, no one else should interact with it until he has finished repairing. same problem can occur with fueling. You'll be glad to hear this has been fixed for the next patch. edit: Just noticed how much of a Necro this thread is..i feel all dirty :huh:

We had a few problems repairing vehicles too. Sometimes the part disappears, but the car remains broken. If you sit on the drivers-seat before repairing, this doesn't happen. If you are two or more people, let one sit in the drivers seat and then repair everything. no one should touch the car in the meantime. That usually works. For helis. The glass needs to fixed or it leaks fuel. Seems like the fueltank is made of glass here. It's not true that you have to repair every part for every vehicle tough, as some cars have wheel2 and middle-wheel items, that are not needed (but seem to prolong the life of a car if repaired) Edit: but I also had fun once, after I repaired my Mi 17, took off and suddenly back rotor and engine where red, turning me around without control. I somehow managed to get the bird down and got out alive, but when I checked the heli a minute later, everything was green and it took off without any problems... Seems to be buggy sometimes...

I've encountered this most often with the Mi-17 family of helicopters. Sometimes you just need to fool around with a helicopter that is out of fuel and eveything on red, yellow or orange. I've nudged them with other vehicles, hopped in and out of them many times, and ran couched around and around them to get the repair option. One thing though, after repairing everything, you might want to hop in and out a few times before adding fuel, as sometimes you can add twenty jerrycans and get nowhere.

I dont think there is a server out there which fits your search. 90% of the servers out there are lik +8000 vehicles and crappy stuff like that. There are very few good vanilla servers. I dont know of any servers which are below vanilla item and vehicle wise. If you are in europe come on mydayz server #16 (vanilla) cya

*Sigh* Everyone has their own version of what DayZ "should" be. Some people want to go around PvPing everyone they see. Others want a big Boy Scout camping simulator with zombies. I think there should be abandoned vehicles everywhere, but purists disagree with me. Zombies are going to be polished up in the standalone. The whole problem in the mod is that they are based off of ArmA II soldiers. In the SA they will be controlled globally by the server instead of just spawning as player early warning systems in towns. Their pathfinding is going to be fixed. They will run indoors. I assume all the other bugs will be worked out as well. With more buildings and more loot spawns, I assume the SA will be more than just a race to NWAF for carbines and STANAG mags. But it's a zombie apocalypse. Expect people to shoot at you.
