Mukaparska 55 Posted July 1, 2014 Well, yesterday I was playing DayZ in the new town in the north. I walked to the only police station and looted it. When I walked down the stairs, I saw a guy walking to a room his back facing at me. I shot three times with an SKS from like 3m away, but it didn't hit. Then he of course ran in the room and started peeking through the doorway with his Mosin Nagant. Every time I saw his head, I shot, but again, no hit. Then I ran out of ammo and ran outside to reload. Then I got back and he was at the door of the police station. I emptied all my 10 rounds from only 1m distance, and he also shot me, but not a single bullet hit me or him. Then I took out my splitting axe and killed him. Usually I would've blamed lag, but this server was not laggy at all... What is going on? Last time I shot someone was before the latest patch, and nothing like this happened. Also after this incident, I went to drink from a pond and got stuck there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Hawke 114 Posted July 1, 2014 Uh... I drank from ponds a few times yesterday and it worked fine... I also shot a deer and a zombie and that worked fine, too... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
problembarn420 3 Posted July 1, 2014 I havn't fought too much in police station, so I'm not entirely sure. However when I have fought in them, the shots seems to hit invisible walls alot. Seems like it's more the building then anything else. I do have to ask though: Did you have zero right? Was your fps decent at the time? When my fps goes down the drain, I can't even punch zombies... Would be nice if anyone can confirm, or deny, my allegations towards the policestation-building thingy. In particular shooting in the main doors at the front. Cheers.

BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) The extreme sway, which is a bug, is fixed in the current exp which will come to stable Wednesday. Edit: Oh and yeah the front doorway of the police station is also bugged, you can't shoot through it even with the door open.

It is possible it has something to do with invisible walls. And yes, my FPS was decent all the time. And what do you mean with zero? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

problembarn420 3 Posted July 1, 2014 It is possible it has something to do with invisible walls. And yes, my FPS was decent all the time. And what do you mean with zero? Zero basicly means you have set the gun to shoot at a set distance. On sks I think the lowest is 50 up to 300 meteres. Shooting at a target close to you with a zeroing at 300 will cause the gun to shoot alot higher than you aim. If you havnt messed with it, it should be set to standard at 100, which is completely fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted July 1, 2014 i wonder if the "lets put the sks to 50 meters and ist laseraccurate on any range" bug ist still in ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted July 1, 2014 Police stations are janky as hell. I shot a guy in a police station a few days ago and it apparently knocked him underneath the floor. He died, but I couldn't loot him. Yesterday, while walking up the police station stairs, my character decided to float to the bottom, right through the spiral staircase. It also seems that if you try to make a precise shot on the edge of door frames, your bullet looks like it's hitting dirt. They're pretty poorly optimized, to say the least.

Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted July 1, 2014 It took me 5 shots from 50m or less on a Zed to kill it last night. Yeah, the guns can be... inaccurate at times. That was the worst I'd seen. Sometimes I know I completely missed and I drop my target. Until they fix it pray and spray is as good as anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outroduce 14 Posted July 2, 2014 Accuracy of weapons is ludicrous. Try to hit 100m target with stock M4. At this range it has 1,2m dispersion so anything you can (propably) hit is soil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Testnewbie 34 Posted July 2, 2014 Accuracy of weapons is ludicrous. Try to hit 100m target with stock M4. At this range it has 1,2m dispersion so anything you can (propably) hit is soil. There is this "magic button" default "T" that switches from full auto to semi auto. With full auto you can´t hit a barn >100m with semi auto and ACOG you can headshot people up to 700m. It´s hard coded into the M4. So even with single tap on full auto you won´t hit shit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
