Dayz is working fine?

[Muspel (DayZ) 11]

With the last update the game is working really bad. Infinite "wait for host" screen, too slow to enter in-game, servers not responding, sesion lost, kicked cause battleeye problems, etc.

 

New version is stable or what?, since the last update Dayz turns unplayable for me.

[kihz 83]

It was being horrible a couple hours ago. However, within the past hour, I've been able to join servers like before. Hopefully it's been "kinda" fixed.

[MrMafia7 0]

Its gotten worse for me over the course of the day. At first, it was just incredibly bad lag issues, and the occasional disconnect. It progressed to where my framerate started lowering and lowering to the point where I'm on the lowest settings I can get DayZ running on and still running at extraordinarily low FPS.

I -litterally- cannot connect to a server right now. "waiting for host" it says, "kicked out of the game, client not responding" it says.

I REALLY wanted to play DayZ today, but I guess that will have to wait until the next patch comes out to fix this mess.

 

Edit: Oh, and I forgot the best part which I was reminded very kindly when I finally managed to join a server a minute ago. The massive lag issue is NOT a big deal compared to this. I join a server, sounds good so far, spend about 5 minutes looting, still nice, when suddenly it decides to disconnect me.

Okay, well if I just connected to a server at last, I should be able to connect to some more, right? Well if you think that, you're semi-right. You join another server, and it works, but of course naturally you have the 5 minute timer because for some reason it doesn't count as being "disconnected" when a game glitch bumps you off the server every 10 minutes.

I can't play. I've HUGE lag too, don't know why. Isn't my problem, is Dayz problem.

 

When I join a server, I can't jump, I can't throw anything, I can't change the weapon, its like freezing, and then two options:

 

a) sesion lost.

 

b) lag is gone but for a while, and maybe game will crash.

 

Before the update this never happen to me, specially the lag problem, only with the last update this lag appears to me. It's really annoying I get killed 3 times for that and I loss everything for zombies, not players ..... zombies. Its like freezing, I can't see other players moves, I can't see zombies, and then PUM lag is gone and I'm bleeding, or dead, or 10 zombies arround me :S.

This.

[extremenuggets 14]

There's a whole mess of problems that are going on

 

• FPS lag in Solnichiny, Berezino and Sveltogorsk
• Massive desync problems
• Game lag makes it impossible to play
• Zombies have the upper advantage because when it's lagging they can hit you but you can't hit them
• Please wait... screen
• Session lost...
• Kicked off of BattEyenet(Most likely for bad desync)

[brazorf 46]

Honestly ive only seen improvement after this update, ive less lag problems than before and game runs smooth, think ive gained some fps.

Ive only played couple of hours though

[Muspel (DayZ) 11]

Yeah, 100% true.

 

Infinite please wait screen or wait for host screen.

 

Infinite lag and probably KILLED by zombies.

 

Sesion lost.

 

Kicked from BattleEye.

 

3hs to change weapon (after you respawn)

 

Respawn isnt working some times and you're dead screen turns infinite too.

[River Lizard 47]

I tried to get in half full servers "Waiting for Host"  I finally got into a server that had 6 players and when I finally logged out it had 12 but half of them didn't have a ping at all.  Figured they were caught in the "Waiting for Host" loop. 

 

Also, did anyone have their settings change?  Mine are all screwed up and the more I messed with them the worse it got.  At one point it told me that I'd have to close the game and reopen it for the settings to take.    I'm running a 4-5 year old computer...at the edge of history....and it decides to up all my settings!  My poor video card and CPU were about to catch fire! Geez.  Finally got the settings to were I could at least function again in the game. 

[Demonica 311]

What settings do you mean? Graphics only or also video / rendering etc? I haven't checked yet, thank goodness I got a new Laptop for Christmas, with an i7 core and a Geforce GTX not much can go wrong... I hope... Meh, I better go check anyway...

Just about every setting on mine was changed...monitor viewing size was changed to something like 2048 x whatever.. memory was set to like a GB or something...I'm lucky I was able to actually make changes to it,  I was having major noises inside my computer and serious LAG!!!  I'm talking some serious noises coming from inside my computer while it was trying to process the game's request! :rolleyes:  

I'm running bare minimum on settings almost...like I said my computer is 4-5 years old and on the edge of history.  Figure when a major update comes to Dayz that will make it when I can't play any more then I'll put my old computer to rest and upgrade to a new one. Just really don't want to dump 1,200.00 into parts to build one right now.

Earlier at Balota I was desyncing so bad it wouldn't let me change weapons or open doors. After all the desync stops, I hear a bunch of zombie growls bunched together then I'm suddenly getting the crap beaten out of me by invisible zombies. Great way to go from healthy to almost dead :C

[Demonica 311]

Plexico, you're not alone. My tip: Find a house that has an UPSTAIRS room, and hang out there. Park your char there until this is hopefully fixed. I'm having the exact same problem, currently close to unconscious because of this very issue.

[Muspel (DayZ) 11]

I didn't check my settings but all seems to be same than before.

 

I don't know why change or update if the version is not stable at all.

Ok.  Seriously.  Who the hell here thinks this is normal development that the devs could not have known the patch would be this bad?   Seriously, who has the balls to defend the Dayz team?

well they can't test large scale networking issues in their office... they only see it after it's released. i guess the experimental didn't have these then.

 

i mean i'm pissed because i can't play, but who the hell would do shit like this intentionally? think about it...

Validating DayZ files in steam. Hopefully there is a fix in there somewhere.

 

Died from a horde of zeds for the first time in SA. I call hax! :P

didn't help me... :/

[solodude23 649]

I only played 2 hours on stable earlier today, but I must have been lucky because aside from a few spurts of desync, everything ran pretty smooth.

[airfell 179]

Yeah, didn't make a difference.

[DMentMan 707]

thay need to fix this like right now, hopefully thay are working on it.

Im not saying they released a horrible patch on purpose.  I am saying this last patches proves my theory that the current development team is not talented enough to fix the core game architecture.......... And even less able to shape the game into the original concepts vision.   Sorry guys, we are totally fucked.

we'll see. Half Life 2 alpha was broken, almost unplayeable piece of shit too.

What a load of nonsense. And that speaking as one of the ppl who havent been able to try out the new stable yet on account of "session lost" issues. This kinda thing can happen in any game at alpha level, that is why it is in alpha. Because these sort of problems can appear when rolled out on a massive scale and that is exactly what we are here testing it out for.

[Buffaloe 87]

Well, shit happens. I hope they get a hotfix out quickly though. I kind of wanna test the new stuff :P
