Stable - 0.49 Discussion

[shinjuru 114]

I have seen one in .49 Stable at a Helicopter Crash Site.  It was badly damaged.   There were also a ton of M4 parts, a Badly Damaged Combat Knife and an Pristine FNX that I kept.

 

Anyone seen an ammo box? Haven't seen one since the 0.49 drop, and i've played probably 16 hours in that time...

I've found two heli crash sites and the only things I found were chem lights. :(

I have in certain buildings, mostly health care centers. Like the sun shines right through the walls.

You know what I find ridiculous? The number of Makarovs the jail cell general military bases spawn. They spawn .45 and 9mm rounds constantly, but no pistols to use them. Meanwhile they do spawn Makarovs, but rarely ever any rounds for it.

Also is it just me or is the hoodie more environmentally protective than the tactical shirt?

Yes. I picked up 7.62x39mm boxes twice today. Both times in barracks buildings.

Minus the light show that's happening with the shadows, I am really enjoying this update.  The added difficulty of finding items, lack of weapons all over the place, better melee, everything so far.  My only complaint is they could have at least finished the building in the NEAF.

[smoq2 221]

I'm not convinced that items are respawning at all... With the servers crashing every 5/10/15/20 min, it's basically impossible to tell whether items respawned, or just spawned on server restart.

 

Also, the developers have place more focus on persistence in the patch notes, which caused the issue of (broken) respawning loot to vanish a bit. Or at least I'm having trouble finding information regarding the matter.

 

Does anyone have any first hand developer information on whether the loot actually respawns or not?

words...

Merged, just check through this Topic...

OK so the random character wipes have stopped for me after re-installing DayZ thank goodness. But what is up with the constant server resets, i tend to try to stick to the same server when i play and it seems that they are all resetting after only 15-20 minutes. Really puts me off playing this game altogether!

Perhaps I'm mistaken but I believe Mr Jizz was referring to the actual ammo box, not a box of ammo.

I just thought I would share my 'fix' for the problems I've encountered in 0.49

I, like many have had numerous problems with this update. Missing walls, noclipping, corrupt textures, low poly counts, horrendous frame rate as low as 7fps you name it..

Lots of folks seem to be experiencing similar and here's what I tried which seems to have worked.

When I originally installed SA I made copies of both the configs immediately. I've messed with them quite a bit so last night I decided to replace them BOTH with the original versions.

I then committed suicide and respawned.. bingo, all problems gone.

If it's of any consequence I noticed that the corrupt texture problem seemed to appear when direct sunlight shone on my character, perhaps an HDR problem? 

I'm not actually one for complaining too much about developers and priorities and deadlines and promises etc etc because I've been around gaming 'a while' but I am going to stick my neck out here and say that this is the first update since I started playing (December 2013) that really has sucked hard. This update seems to have more problems than a special school.

I hope they sort it soon.

Just thought I would share in case it helped anybody out.

 

Greetings, thanks for sharing this.

as many of us lack an original backup.

could you upload a .zip of the cfg files so others may try?

problems ive encountered in random order

 

zombies can hit you inside police stations from anywhere. sometimes even instant death

2nd and 3rd floors of tower in firestation can make you break leg, if you stand still. then few seconds later death. if your friends see you it looks like you fell through floor. ALL GEAR RUINED

police cars 1/2 buried in ground.

loot is extremly rare now (i like it)

every death (just me?) or server change. loads in and waits. if you press esc u can see a static screen. resulting in closing client and re-connecting.

if you get a vybor spawn. no clothes nothing. vybor always looted. nwaf aswell. good luck

invisible zombies in some buildings (were visible before moving through wall, then invisible)

instant SOAKED after 2-3 seconds of rain.

no more "wring clothes out" (drop and pick up fixes)

mending gear fails to display "worn" status, must drop or click worn item in inventory to correct.

sometimes spawning in with status such as "hunger/thirst" do not change no matter how much you consume

fire doesnt work inside

massive desync when near or close to other players, else fine.

obvious server instability

thats all i can think right now. there is lots more and many of these have been repeated. sorry.

Anyone found a pattern to server crashes. In other words are some servers more reliable than others?

I play an official 1st person persistent server, and it is crashing like clockwork about every 40 mins.

Are ones with persistence enabled worse? As the crashes break persistence enabling it seems pointless. Any help finding a robust server would much appreciated.

[R0B3RTF1SH3R 66]

another bug that just agrovates me so much.

 

weapon switching 

 

sometimes its 

A  your changing weapon. (take your hand of mouse/keyboard. your character wont stop running)

B your running and change weapon but you dead stop and pull out your axe / etc.   

 

how game breaking to combat is that?

How about those helicopter crashes... did they expand the radius of where they spawn? When the crashes were first added I felt like 75% could be found in the vicinity of the Vybor military base and NWAF.  Now I've only seen one in that area. Are there still "hot spots" for finding crashes? Has anyone mapped this since the 0.49 patch?

[jameslennoxhood 74]

I thought that they had supposedly fixed melee, wow, it just seems as broken as ever, im sure melee worked better in January than it does now!!!

yes, .48 seemed like just about every military installation had 1 or 2 heli crash's. hell. one time at Balota i seen 3.

I didnt play back then but if you tried melee in .48 you have to appreciate the fix's. its HEAPS better now in my opinion. but when i first started. i like the hitbox's of the axe swings and any weapons, even fists, felt like you could dodge and move/boxing style and connect.

now its who knows what will happen. if lag or movement nullifies your hits.

however .49 seems like you connect and kill alot more than .48... LIKE ALLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOT more.. man 

every try a baseball bat fight in .48. you would just laugh it off after 5 mins and just walk away.

[Mr Jizz 313]

The melee problems are mostly due to client-server issues, so I remain hopeful. The "melee engine" is much improved.  With the new hit boxes you have to get much more personal with a zombie and it is very particular about the axis of your swing.  Now I'm OK with making melee more accurate, but what's happening is this- in an effort to position myself correctly to score a hit, I'm also more at risk of taking a hit. This is particularly problematic when the server is having a bad day and doesn't seem to want to register your hits, conversely the zombies rarely miss.

 

And how 'bout the zombie damage? I'm sorta tired of fighting undead Mike Tyson(s).  These guys ruin your gear a little too quickly IMO and I'm struggling to understand how a flailing arm can ruin things like can-openers, bullets, and handguns.  I'm pretty sure I could drop a 1911 and a box of .45 acp off a small building and both would still work just fine.

will 0.50 come for experimental today ? My both character in 1st person/3rd person stuck and I cant play. If someone got strong info about when exp servers will come online, please tell me. If exp servers comıng today I wont report to feedback tracker because I usually play experimental.

[SmashT 10907]

will 0.50 come for experimental today ?

Has anyone else been getting the infinite "you are dead" bug?

Last night managed to get a fair few hours of game play in on the new 0.49 build, got into a few fire fights, won some, lost 1, so when I hit respawn I get the 30 second timer then I'm back to being dead.

I leave the server join a new server and spawn under a bridge at Vybor with no cloths, and I mean nothing, no jeans and no shirt.

I jump off the school roof and then my back in the "you are dead" loop, leave server and join another one and again, spawned in Vybor with nothing on my back.

Ahh, my bad. I definitely have not seen any of those in 0.49.

Happened to me last night too but i solved it with just  a server switch.
