HarunDanyal 49 Posted August 18, 2012 So I was biking around Chernarus for several hours on good server (no unexpected crashes/restarts, no hackers/cheaters/scripters encountered) on an Old Bike that had red text (it always had red text, when it was damaged, and when it was in mint condition), when all of a sudden, it just disappears right in front of my eyes! It was really strange, here is a picture of the red text on the bike:I found the bike up on a mountain beside another bike, neither of which were in their natural spawn points. I was riding it around for a day or so, logged on and off several times and each time I logged back on I found it exactly where I left it. About 10 minutes ago, after riding it around a bit, I get off and it literally vanishes into thin air *POOF*.What I am wondering is:A ) Have you ever seen a vehicle with red text instead of green, andB )What do you think could have caused it to despawn right in front of me?

voddler (DayZ) 367 Posted August 18, 2012 Red text is an Enemy vehicle, in this case opfor I guess.To the other one I have no clue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quantic (DayZ) 12 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Red text means the item is broken, although I'm not sure if bicycles can break.. can they? The fact that you found them far away from their default spawns indicates someone has used them - they might've been damaged by these players?

Dylon 8 Posted August 18, 2012 A ) Have you ever seen a vehicle with red text instead of green, andB )What do you think could have caused it to despawn right in front of me?A )The first chopper me and my clan fixed up had red text, in fact still doesB )when vehicles are destroyed they have a set time till they respawn, it could be a spawn loaction or a script kiddie could have spawned one on front of everyone (only thing i can think of) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voddler (DayZ) 367 Posted August 18, 2012 Then I've found broken spawned vehicles. I don't think that's the case. And yes, you can destroy a bike by driving it over :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diddy (DayZ) 16 Posted August 18, 2012 Bikes normally do not break ( run into a tree etc. ). However if it is really broken ( ran into with another vehicle or a bad crash ) it saves in the hive as all red and it will not be fixed until nobody finds it for a week and it respawns. Be a good guy, hide it somewhere good and forget about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
