Game is unplayable since the last update ?

[poooz 23]

Unable to move anywhere, zombies seem to know where my body is but my screen is showing me as being somewhere else and then i will keep getting warped back to my previous position. Getting thrown off buildings left, right and centre.

 

Why would you release an update in this state, did anyone even test it. I am almost certain they did not.

 

Edit : After quitting the game i noticed that for some reason after the update it had automatically opted me into the experimental branch, i changed it back to stable branch but have yet to try the game again.

It's called rubberbanding, Many threads have been made about it.

 

 

 

Devs are working on it but it was a common occurrence in earlier versions of Alpha.

 

Also, WE ARE THE FUCKING TESTERS! No testing before this release except for Experimental, and not enough people played that to find the previous problems. Those were somewhat fixed by the recent hotfix but now this has happened. In other words, Deal with it.

Desync and rubber banding are still a big issue my end as well..we play the waiting game now.

You're rubberbanding harder than an 8th grader with a bag of hairties, if you get my meaning.

(Because the little shit would shoot them at people. I'd make a statue of an alpaca out of them.)

Best way is to log out.  It seems this company is promoting server hoping.

We are not testers, the devs have their own testers working for them and getting paid. We are just costumers who preordered a game and have the right to play it as it gets updated while giving feeback, not more than that. Its different.

No its not :)   I promote quit game and search solution :)    I buy this game 2 days ago, and i know its is alpha... beter nothing say, sit quiet and waiting for God intervention?

Good it shouldn't be playable it's an alpha you are testing the game.

If you happen to have fun while doing it then that's a bonus.

For me game works how it should be, no lag no teleports and ets....

I have had a few desyncing rubberbanding incidents after latest patch, but nothing so serious as you describe. I would think that the majority of players haven't either, since the complaints about this are mostly low level and nothing compared to for example when we had the "Session lost" problems earlier.

 

So no, it is definitely not unplayable for most players.

I started rubberbanding once so I stopped moving for a moment and let everything catch up, other then that I haven't experienced it.

One update after another... The game just keeps getting worse and worse.

Maybe you ll have to stop to play. Sorry to be rude. But, again, it's an alpha. It's wrote on steam page and every time you launch the game. What do you expect of an unfinished game if not BUGS ? Every game have their development process, and in this process bugs are deleted with time. the release date for Dayz is planned for 2015. So you assume to see more and more bugs until the release date. Devs didn't pull a gun on your head to buy the game, no ?

 

Releasing an Alpha is a startegical and marketing choice from the dev's team. With the money grabbed, they had to be able to hire more people to speed up the development. IMO, it's a good choice.

 

Word to the Wise.

 

Some people here are just so kiddish and immature. I'm not just talking about this post, it's the whole forum...

 

Edit : Wait for vehicules, and you'll see tons and tons of bugs that brings up ! LOL

Not quite.

 

It's a game, it does not matter 

if it's in alpha it should still be fun, games are meant to be fun otherwise why would people play them.

 

To say that because it is alpha the game is not meant to be fun just shows huge stupidity on your part. Nothing personal.

Pick less populated servers ... otherwise lag can cause all sorts.

[Drunken Knife 17]

Can't wait for the Beta because of one simple reason.

Cheater + Beta Tester = Beater (if you know what i mean xD)

[lumo1234 68]

Since the last update the gameplay does feel smoother on the whole, however i still get the odd dysnc spike. Noticed a slight bit of rubber banding but compared to a few months ago its a big improvement.

 

Far from unplayable.

[captain_finnish 134]

I have played only once after the latest patch. I dont like those god damn fast zombies and the fact that they can jumpattack you. Then they respawn everywhere so it is pointless to shoot them, just wasting ammo. Cant outrun them so what you gonna do? I hope that the next patch comes soon so I can start to play this game again :(

If you are shooting zombies, you are doing it wrong. It only gets more difficult from here I'm afraid...

My bad, wrong thread. But no this is not lag related it's down to the new update and it is a known issue.

Hotfix sorted all of this for me at least.

There was a small update yesterday unrelated to the hotfix. I noticed that after installing it it had automatically put me into experimental server yet i was able to play on stable server games and i think this is what was causing so problem solved but thanks for your help. ( Have not actually tested it but if everyone else is not having problems then that is the only thing that could have cause it)

This game was much more stable and playable before the last update. Now when i try to play, game crashes every 10 minutes....and when i try to play again after a crash my video settings and control assignments and reset! Today i had to do my video settings and control assignments 4 times and guess what. Zombie ended up chasing me and i couldn't run fast enough because my controls were reset and i didn't know. Died. Lost my AK and bunch of other food and gear. The more i play this game, the more i hate it because it feels like It was in Beta state 2 months ago and now its Alpha. Done spending long hours to build a character only to get killed by a zombie because my controls got fukced after the game crashed. I am done.
