Data usage

Hi!

 

I know alot of ppl don't have data limits etc... But i have, so i need to watch it abit: Tbh i don't think this is normal usage: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2329882/datadayz.png

It can't be that it uses this much data right?

Did you have other programs running in the background that required network data usage?

Wouldn't surprise me...the engine is constantly sending you updates about everything that is going on within a 1.5km radius of your player. Think about how many objects there are in that sort of distance (Buildings, trees, rabbits, bushes etc)

Mmm, it seems i only have this data usage when im in elektro (big city's i guess?)

Yeah probably. Lots of buildings and the server is constantly sending you data about whether their doors are open etc. Also there is a lot of loot in those areas so the server will need to send you data about them too :( Hope you get rid of your data cap and can play properly soon mate!
