Worst losses.

[GregzTheGreat 33]

Not sure where to put this, but here we go.

I just lost an M4 with hundreds of bullets along with full gorka gear due to the new "0.54 crash." Was driving a V3 through elektro, I crash randomly, I return to find I'm a newspawn.

Am I the only one suffering these new crashes? 0.52 was unplayable due to hacks, now 0.54 is unplayable due to constant crashing.

My system is high-end, before people play that card.

I'm not angry or trying to moan about this loss, but I'm trying to find out if I'm the only one crashing regularly, especially in cities.

If not, then this has to be fixed soon. If I've just lost weeks worth of work and fun, I'll dread to think what would happen to people who have spent even longer collecting gear and staying alive for a while with very good pieces of kit.

If anything, this is a spread of awareness about a new extreme problem.

When the game crashed while you were driving it's basically like you just jumped out of the truck while moving and were killed. Just don't use the trucks

I dont get attached to gear.

Funny, my system is an old barebones X2 Athlon and a 2006 mobo and my performance improved and no crashes before and after. I spent most of the day in a truck yesterday, like 12 hours and my 4 hr restart server was restarting ever 45mins to 2 hours randomly. I did have to run for up to half an hour to catch up to my truck after re-logging countless times but no resets or unexpected deaths.

The truck buggyness is not new. They have been really wonky since Day ONE

 

It has to do with the trucks are still in a vary crude state of development. They can kill you really fast. Simply hitting a object the wrong way can send you underneath the map. Also if the engine is running dont touch it.....you can die. If you jump out while its moving, its 50/50. You dont know how many times Ive been on TS, "I found a truck! Yes! Then 20 mintues later....WTF Im dead." Happens all the dam time. I dont like riding in them right now, unless I am freshly spawned were it dosnt matter if I die. I sure as fuck hope they fix those death bugs before they allow transport of more then 2 people. There will be intire clans dieing at once, like 10 at a time lol Fuck! The QQing would be epic holy crap

 

There has been some issues with .54, like major issues, you may have noticed. The dev team seems to be well aware of it, and are working on a hot fix. So really theres no point in complaining about it, its not going to do any good. Im doing my self and my avatar a huge favor and holding off playing until they release some sort of fix, and then see verification that it is fixed. So this patch is screwed up right now, I advise maybe waiting til they fix it. I would rather have to wait, then play a glitched out game buged out game.

 

Shits Broken! Come Back Later! :huh:

You're not alone, I was driving in my truck up near grishino when I received a crash to desktop error. I had just crafted a leather vest and pants and improvised backpack(hope shrub doesn't see this. Had to kill a pig for some leather...sorry shrub) and had just picked up a red dot sight for my mp5k. I lost 3 30 round mags, the mp5k a bit of food, 3 yellow protector cases, ps01 scope and a long range scope for a mosin. Was on my way to trade a few things for a tricked out M4 for a clan mate to surprise him with.

I've been driving them since day 1 and have died 0 times, until last night on .54 and I died three times.

 

Something is seriously messed up with them right now.

Am I the only DayZ player in the world who doesn't care or get all butthurt about losing gear? I actually enjoy starting as a new spawn because it changes it up and gives me something more to do again. Being fully geared up and sitting at NW with a hundred cans of peaces gets old after a while, don't even care about looting corpses.

The point is, death isn't a bad, but the way it happens seems to be.

I wouldn't care if I died to a gunfight, or maybe even sniped. It's the fact my game crashed, my gear was unfairly taken. It's a shame, it was my first M4.

Makes sense, I used to get a little upset when hackers killed me but I haven't seen an obvious one in a while. M4s used to be really common so the rarity of them is lost on anyone who played during that.

Well I have known of many players that have been dicked over by those trucks since they released them. Now even more so its seems in .54 (which Im not playing til the hot fix). Your lucky I guess not to ever have died from one beofre .54. I haven't either, I have heard enough horror storys to make me not want ride in one. There was one time my game crashed while riding in one and another time were the truck struck a object and completly buged out, was luckly when it stoped it was above the map..  Me I stay away from them while there running, and never hit any objects with them. But I know many players that have died due to truck bugs. Its been a problem.

How much difference does gear really make? If you see someone first you get to make the most important decisions almost regardless. I was offered a kitted m4 in trade for my truck and like I told him I'm just gonna die and loose it. Gave him and his friends the truck and headed on foot towards the closest truck spawn I hadn't been to. What happens between having no stuff and having stuff again is the real point of this game.

 

Compared to other hoarding intensive games I've played this live in the moment feel due to the gameplay or glitches is very fluid and immersing to me. 

[Rags! 1966]

About 60 FPS in cities. 

[CJFlint 357]

I love how much hype there is for the "M4". I remember back in the day before the heli crashs were added, you could one just about anywhere. Ha ha Now its almost like measure how well there doing in game weather they have one or not. LOL

So if you didn't have a M4 with all the fancy attachments (that can only hit something about a couple hundred meters away), there death wouldn't have been so bad. Jesus christ! Yet a akm with a pso with a million round drum isn't as good.

I've held an M4 for exactly 2 minutes, and I traded it for an AKM. It's just not worth the hassle of getting one. When I read these stories about guys who spent weeks scavenging around for crash sites so they can assemble their M4, only to lose it due to whatever reason, I smile a little inside.

M4 and Gorka to boot, that was the games fashion sensors fixing your tacticool faux pas. I mean really, an An American gun with Russian gear? Who does that? You might as well mix tartans or wear red pants and a pink raincoat.

Exactly

I think I got the M4 out of my system a while ago when there were way more common. That is true its just not worth all the effort, it didn't even have that great of range. Its basically a CQB gun with little reach. Which means if you want to get in a shoot out, you got to get in close putting your self at risk with a super rare gun lol. Your luck will run out at some point with that shit real quick.

I would take a akm over m4 too. Maybe the m4 is slightly better in CQB, other then the akm, but the AKM is far more versatile. AKM is a mean sob too. 70 round drums, pso, and the other attachments. Fairly easy to find. Not bad at all. Its got really respectable range too.

Also the by the way, In RL the M4 is not the flag ship assault rifle for the US. The M16 is. The reason so many troops have been using them the last few years is urban warfare, and being ambushed while inside vehicles. There short and easy to move around. But the M16 which is vary similar pretty much a longer with different butt stock has far more range. Were taking 500 yards iron sight. Scope you got even more range....If the put the M16 in game with real world specs....bye bye mosin lol Everyone would want one. Thats the NATO rifle I want to see in game!

And it just looks and sounds more badass.

I don't care one bit that I lost my stuff, it just loot. Not a fan of the CTD but I get it that its in alpha, things like this happen and I click the I understand button before logging in, knowing things like this may happen. I actually got a decent respawn out of it, made some more chaps and a vest and set out again in the quest for loot....only to get robbed and poisoned later on.

Please don't mistake my ramblings as griping or bitching, getting a new start can be fun in some ways. I try to learn from my mistakes and move on, Ive learned not to ride in a vehicle for the time being
