Hello Survivors!
First and foremost, thank you for considering our call for your feedback - you're helping us get a better grasp of how the game is doing on Xbox.
For this round, we want to put focus on the current issues with the game and what we could improve for the Xbox-specific controls, as well as the overall gameplay experience. Please understand that while we're looking for specific feedback, this is not a wish list. As much as we would love to, we will likely not be able to implement every comment/suggestion made here into the game, but having your feedback will help us set priorities with the Dev Team.
To avoid reports on things we're already aware of, have a read through our current list of known issues:
Currently known general DayZ issues:
Server crashes can cause undesirable persistence wipes
There are various issues with cars, often related to physics simulation/desync (cars shooting up the air, or diving underground)
Currently known general Xbox Issues:
Game performance (FPS) may drop significantly
It's currently possible to duplicate items (duping)
Currently known/acknowledged specific Xbox Issues:
Spamming B when disconnecting can freeze the game
When a fence is placed, the game freezes
It is currently not possible to customise your fresh spawn character in the main menu
Hold breath feature has no assigned controls
Leaning feature has no assigned controls
It is not possible to reload when your inventory is completely full
Connecting to a Hardcore (1st person only) server initially spawns you in the 3rd person perspective
Some wearable items can obstruct aiming
Loading times for filled inventories are too long
Options menu item is named "Configure" when connected to server (should be "Options" too)
When sharing your feedback or describing problems, please be as specific as possible. Also, let us be clear that we understand how some issues can be the cause of a very passionate irritation (we play the game, too! ). Please do your best to remain constructive and respectful even when things turn ugly, being angry does not really send the message across.
Remember that it's always helpful to provide us with visual examples of your issues. Use the official Xbox guideline on capturing screenshots and DVR clips, and either let us know that we should look at the screenshot/DVR on your profile, or share it with us over the unofficial XboxDVR website.
To help you out with some areas of reports we're mostly interested in, we would like to hear your thoughts on:
bugs and general game / stability problems
gameplay and balancing
servers, their availability, and general online experience
controls and your overall player experience
Also, while we're mainly searching issues and problematic areas, we will be glad to hear what you like on the game as well!
Let's do this Survivors.
