Tonyeh 451 Posted December 27, 2020 Is it just me, or have servers been full to the brim over the last few days? I thought this game was dead/dying? 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clod999 7 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) It is interesting that now I am playing on custom server with 127 slots, and no lags there even when it is full. Server has i9 9900k processor which does not cost much. And Bohemia saves money on its servers. Unprofessional, shame! Because I really want play on official server!

clod999 7 Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I don't know, what is it? It is vanilla server without any mods. Edited December 28, 2020 by clod999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I dont trust about cheaters and something else. There is some hardware problems on server side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If people with bad ping are on the server, it will negatively affect the experience of everyone. The worse a players internet is, the more strain it puts on the server. It's just one of many factors that drive official performance down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buakaw 274 Posted January 7, 2021 I'm sad ADS lag has not been fixed yet. It's one of those actions that should not be affected by server lag and be predicted/interpolated. In case anyone doesn't know what ADS lag is, it takes a couple 100ms more on a full server to aim down sights sometimes, compared to offline/ empty servers.

The server easily reproduces desynchronization for any client on the server, since it is not able to synchronize clients in a stream, and will not synchronize its own desynchronization errors for clients.

It looks stupid, since on his side he does not have any object in his hands. This is bad for the play of the scenario on the servers, and the identification of the player as peaceful or armed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, desync is bad for the game, no shit. That's why there needs to be better interpolation and players with crap ping and packet loss need to be treated as such by the server. Instead, the server works overtime to try and compute their actions, and we get stupid stuff like ADS lag - somethign that should never be affected by server performance. Unfortunately the game devs seem to have categorized ADSing the same as any other action (like opening doors, picking up stuff and w/e) and as such it is impacted by the same delays as any other action.

Buakaw 274 Posted January 9, 2021 Also still not a fan of the new "player controller". What was supposed to result in more player controll, somehow resulted in less. You can't move while punching. You can't move while falling down a minor slope. When your die, your character falls back in a 100% fixed animation like in CS 1.6 from 1999. But you can move while eating! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Private Evans 1303 Posted January 10, 2021 The body feeling of Arma 3 is also so much better...DayZ animations do not have any momentum or feeling of weight...I guess because of the missing ragdoll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would add so much more immersion to a game such as DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derleth 1357 Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Sumrak has pretty much said ragdoll is probably never going to happen. I don't remember the exact wording, but the feature is simply not considered worth the required investment in development hours to make it work. Also, there's a bunch of physics related issues with the engine/game as is without adding ragdoll on top. Might be they reconsider the ragdoll feature once those issues and the rest of the backlog is cleared, I know I would definitely prefer ragdoll (for both players and infected) before flying vehicles.

Melee combat was way more fun when you could swing and move at the same time. Now you get stun- and animationlocked. Also miss the deadly fire axe and getting knockouts with a punch to the face. Sure, 1 hit KO was a bit too much maybe, but now it's just straight up arcade nonsense, takes like 8+ punches to the face to knock someone out. Dying animation probably wouldn't bother anyone if it wasn't for all the lost loot (bodies falling into walls, "landing" mid air etc).
