crockett (DayZ) 41 Posted December 28, 2012 Anyone have any idea what could be causing the desync I get? This has been a problem for me as long as I've played DayZ. It doesn't seem to be anything to do with lag as one of the servers I like to play on is very low ping and gives me no noticeable lag. Yet pretty much all the time on certain servers, I seem to get a strange desync with the server. Meanwhile on other servers I get no problems at all.Most of the time when I get the Desync, it results in Zombies totally ignoring the fact that I'm there. It means I can actively run around with little regard to the zeds and often even shoot my gun with out having them respond. Of course that's a pretty nice option to enjoy, but the down side is I usually get no loot spawns while this is happening. Other times everything is just very slow. Sometimes I might enter a town and have the zeds show up 2 or 3 mins after I've already been there, same with loot. Meanwhile it's not like I'm getting any lag when picking stuff up or in combat.

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) If you're playing on a server that hasn't been re-started for a long time it can give you issues. it would explain the lack of loot spawns too. Edited December 28, 2012 by Fraggle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danlegend 16 Posted December 31, 2012 Came here to say I'm having the same thing happen to me. Ill play for 10 minutes, desync, wont see a chain, server restarts every 6 hours that I play on, been ongoing on all servers I join for last 2 days. Only way to fix it is to disconnect then reconnect every 10 minutes. VERY frustrating after running for 30 minutes to a loot spawn just to remember I have to relog 200 meters away just to play the game every 10 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
