Is blood regeneration actually working?

[ParaB 114]

Since the last patch I don't get any "my stomach is full" messages anymore. And I can't seem to regenerate blood by eating or drinking, no matter how much I eat and drink.

 

Char is not sick or injured, but colours stay a bit gray-ish no matter what I do.

 

Anyone else?

Regen won't be fixed until the 113842 patch that they're working on in closed testing right now.

Your blood won't regenerate in 10 minutes... in real life it takes up to 24 to 48 to regenerate your plasma & up to a month to regenerate red blood cells.  <_<

(And yes, it's bugged.)

Ah, thanks guys.

Also you might have an infection. AFAIK you wont re-gen blood whilst you have infected wounds. Some antibiotics should clear it up.

As others have said, it's bugged.  For now, if you want to get your color back you have 3 options:

 

1. Get a friend to give you a blood bag

2. Get a friend to give you saline (although I've heard that being healed by saline is actually a bug)

3. Die

Hm, i read somewhere that it will regenerate if you keep yourself fed and hydrated. So, i'm guessing that isn't the case right now? Good to see that it's fixed in an upcoming patch though

3. Die

 

Saline restores 5000 blood, IE max. Blood bags only do 500, and then there's the risk of blood types if you haven't checked. Not sure if blood bags track infected blood or not.

 

Right now Saline is by far the go to for refilling your blood and getting your HP regen started.

Wait, I thought that one came out today?

[Tegla (DayZ) 112]

It did, this thread was posted before the patch

[jbhero@gmail.com 0]

Is this fixed? If so how do you regenerate the blood?

[DMZ_Sniper 73]

You now have a 'healthy' indicator on your inventory screen, which I assume shows that you are regenerating.

[Tegla (DayZ) 112]

I think "naturally" as in keep yourself fed and hydrated and it will regenerate. Someone correct me if i'm wrong

Where exactly is this indicator?

[killing91 0]

I had a black and white screen for most of the afternoon, after the patch came i kept playing normally (ate/drank when i needed until getting the "full" message); after a while the b&w went away and i started seeing normally.

I ate and drank until full right after the patch, then i started noticing the colors ~30m later.

So they did fix it yes.

There isn't, i just checked. No info on it in the patch notes either

it's working now!

 

WOW EVERYTHING IS SO COLORFUL AGAIN.

Before you say things, might want to check facts:

 

The icon IS there and only there when you are healthy. It also changes to 'healing' when you are actively regenerating.

Oh god there really is an icon! I literally checked after you posted, ate and drank untill full and waited a while and no icon appeared.

 

I appologize

[ParaB 114]

Something is still buggy.

 

I ate some 20+ cans of food and drank tons of water and I still don't get either a "I'm full message" nor can see the "healthy" icon in the inventory screen.

 

I've also fed my char antibiotics in case he was sick, no difference.

 

EDIT: I switched servers and now I see my char is "sick". Yay! Finally I know what's wrong.

Earlier today my character had no colors, so I stuffed my face and drank a bazillion liters and it gradually returned over 40 minutes. So it would seem blood regen workes for me.
