Vehicle Bug - Server or DayZ?

[nexventor 429]

Has anyone experienced this bug?

 

We are not sure if it is just our server or a DayZ thing.

 

Saturday

1) Found vehicle drove round for 30 minutes stopping at multiple places

2) Got out at xmas trees in Cherno

3) Drove to other side of map without getting out

4) Server Restarts

5) Log back in next day

6) I am in Cherno with all my gear - Not a FS

 

Thought was weird but put it down to DayZ being DayZ

 

Sunday:

1) Found vehicle drove to petrol station and fueled up

2) Drove round entire map without stopping

3) Go to get out of vehicle and nothing is working eg scroll to engine off and it does nothing so effectively can't get out of vehicle.

4) Thinking it is server lag, I log out while still in vehicle 

5) Log back in 15 minutes later

6) I am back at the petrol station.

 

TL:DR

Vehicle not saving position till you get out.

Do you need a jerry can to fill up your vehicle at a gas/petrol station?

 

I can't find a jerry can in .52 to save my life, looted 8+ towns

Yes you do. The vehicles spawn with 20 ltrs (gallons) and it takes 5 full jerry cans to fill the vehicle. The 20 litres probably provide around 10-15 mins of driving and you can cover quite a bit in that time if you aren't stopping and starting.

 

There are plenty of jerry's, you just need to check any sort of industrial or shed like building.

 Short for "gasoline"

 

Same reason you call it "Petrol" short for "Petroleum" lol. Not a difficult concept to understand :P
