Dear creators of DayZ. First let me say I play your game and I am realy enjoying it. You have done best job for this kind of survival postapocalyptic online realistic game. I have been fallowing you since Operation Flashpoint what was the best military simulator for me. Thank you for all your hard work 😉 I woul like to give you some suggestions for the future update: FOOD: Meet and fruit shall rotten in a time. I would simply add this behavior to already existing slider of content ammount. (Baken food shall rotten in slower peace) MOVEMENT: Every player I meet in the game is default running. Never have I met the player who is walking around the country. What I think is more realistic. Not everyone is super maraton athlet. I would add more pros to player who is realisticly walking. Like a bit better vission. More ready state stamina for sprinting. Some objects like mushrooms shell be visible from walking pace. And more stuff shall be "found able" if you dont rush. Thus you dont go running while carefully looking around you, arent you? Also learn players to enjoy the scenery. Not just "run for the guns" playstyle. If you prefer to run. I would add a bit blured vission on corners of the screen. And have a less power to sprint after long run. I woul find it more realistic and enjoyable. In real life I do a lot of running so I know how it feels. SOUND: Hearing foot steps from hen animal shall be removed or use different sound. ANIMALS: I would add some dangerous animals into the game. I think this would had a big deal in apocalypse. Like a wolf packs in the woods. Snakes. Hornets. You name it... So you have more to be affraid of. (And after some time thay shall conquere the towns as well.) Other than that? Your game is simply the best. I love the sound you made for everything. Animations are great. Possible social interaction with other players is well done. The stories you can experience with other people on every life is great. Graphic is astonishing. So thank you again for good job. If someone finds my conclusion interesting please let me know. Best Regards Filip Roszka

Hello. How can I put magazines or weapons in jackets or backpacks? I did all the configuration with cfgslot but it doesn't allow me to fit any item. As I'm new to creating mods, I wanted to first learn how to place custom slots and then learn about proxies.

My mate has had an ongoing issue for over a year with "The cloud file provider is not running." showing up on his screen whenever he tries to launch his game from the launcher, he has no mods and had the same issue with DayZ. He has OneDrive disabled which seems to be the problem for most by looking at the steam community and reddit although hes only disabled it recently after finding out it was an issue (and unneeded) 😂. We've seen some replies saying that its much easier just to reset your pc than to delete OneDrive entirely and obviously we'd rather not have to do this. Any help is good, just really want to get into the game! https://drive.google.com/file/d/16eD7HyXL0jXHzRBvsq3cRCuRmjqPBJ6s/view?usp=sharing

Hi. I want to create a Arma 3 exile server with Sahrani as map. But i cant find mission files to build this server upon. Anyone have any info on how to do this or have the files i need ? Found a link in ``Maps - Mission files`` in this forum but it is outdated and don`t work anymore.

Hello, I have a bug on Dayz Pc since the update, I'm left-handed. And usually I reverse in the settings my right mouse click and my left click to aim and shoot, my action key to eat, drink etc, and therefore the right click. But since the update when I make the change it is impossible to do an action with my right click, I can aim and shoot but not eat and drink, it's very urgent, thank you Bonjour , j’ai un bug sur Dayz Pc depuis la mis à jour , je suis gaucher . Et d’habitude j’inverse dans les paramètres mon clic droit de souris et mon clic gauche pour viser et tirer , ma touche action pour manger , boire etc , et donc le clic droit . Mais depuis la mis à jour quand je fais le changement il est impossible de faire une action avec mon clic droit , je peut viser et tirer mais pas manger et boire , c’est très urgent , merci

While majority of users still prefer the old fashioned OFP style command line driven mod handling, there is also another way of doing it, using the in game expansions manager and documents settings. One real advantage of doing it that way is that it no longer matter from where you launch the game (be it steam, other version etc.). It makes clean installations also much simpler than messing within the game folder. Example how I use the system: * create DayZ folder in C:\Users\maruk\Documents\ArmA 2 * create sub folder Addons there and download / extract files from http://www.armafiles.info/dayz/ to it * run the game (I use the latest beta from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php ) * in the game go to the Expansions, select DayZ and click on Enable button, restart the game * now the mod is installed and I can play easily with it anytime (using beta, or normal steam version, or sprocket version) For me personally it is simpler than toying with commandline options and interferring with game installation. I understand that everyone has different taste and that is why the original mod commandline is kept intact since 2002 :) I just thought some may simply not understand the more modern alternatives available now.

How can i change my gui scale? I change the numbers of UI_Scale in the game files, but it doesn't help. GUI does not fit completely on the screen I play in 4:3 resolution because it's more comfortable for me. https://imgur.com/a/Ts8L6FM

Hello, it's a few days ago when I decided to try again DayZ mod on Arma 2 but now I have a little problem here. I join server, play maybe 10-60 minutes normally and suddenly the game stop responding or (more common case) freeze but only visual. I can hear the audio and if I press ESC (in working state it opens disconnect menu) I can see my mouse cursor moving but that's all. I can't see the disconnect menu. I noticed that before this freeze the GPU usage was 100% and then immediately 0% and during the freeze Arma uses 0% GPU. So I need to "end task" in task mngr and start Arma again. As I mentioned this happens very often. I can play an hour without any problem or I can't play even 20 minutes without crash. I also need to mention that I have installed totally clean Windows 11 and installed new Arma 2 there but it hasn't helped me. Now I have Windows 10 (v.21H2) Nvidia graphic card with newest driver and Intel CPU I have 32GB of RAM so RAM isn't the problem. Thanks for any idea how to fix this.

When I play on xbox and shoot while aiming, no damage is done to players and objects. There are also no signs of a hit. When I shoot without aiming, there is damage and hits. Someone had a similar problem? I tried playing on different servers and nothing changed. ( I play keyboard and mouse)

Hello, I have an appeal to the admin. I have a big problem, I ask you to help. I'm a big Arma fan, I started with your first game: Arma Mobile Ops, Arma: Armed Assault, ARMA: Queen's Gambit, ArmA II, Arma 2: Reinforcements, Arma 3 + DLC, dayz Computer + Dayz Xbox One. I have a MAC, the game works very well, well, I have a problem that the Mod of a certain genre does not work, I tried to delete the game and download it back, well, the mods are not downloaded, as I understand it, after a new update, they should be downloaded automatically. I tried to enable mods manually using the Steam script, well, everything just does not work, I can not find a solution to the problem. Google translate.

#pissedoff I don't think I need to mention how annoying it is to spend hours getting from one end of the map to the other to get all your kit just be killed by a glitchy car and have to do it all over again. I love dayz, but once things like this have happened enough you start to get fed up. Which is why I stopped playing for ages. I finally started playing again a while ago. I went all out looking high and low for the kit I wanted. Couldn't find any ARs though. NONE on ANY SERVER. just rifles and every now and then an smg. Regardless I got myself together a half decent loadout, just for an update that comes with a complete wipe to be announced. Ofcourse I stopped playing until the update was released, which I'm pretty sure was late. So I give up. However, I decided to play your pointless game again last night. Of course I spawned in with a fresh character. Spent my gaming hours last night making my way up to the middle airfield I died once, but made it with my second character. Although I had no food or water by the time I got there (remember that). I did a quick sweep of the barracks at the top then logged off for the night, ready to come back on this afternoon, do a full sweep of the base then head up to the next one. I log on today, got a 75 second spawn in timer and a message warning me that because of a server change, my position might change, which of course, it did. Spawned in a field with no food or water, no doubt miles away from the base. I found a house not to far a way with a can of peaches in it. Luckily cuz I was about to start dehydrating. Not sure if that will be enough to get me to a town or not though. So my question is should I keep playing? This switching position thing is a blessing and a curse. It fixes some of the main issues like duplicating and spawning in people's base. But when you start punishing the legitimate players, is your game even worth playing anymore? Who knows how long it'll be before you wipe the servers again, that alone makes the game pretty pointless. It's a shame cuz I like this game but I really don't know if I want to play it again. I'm sat in that house where I found the peaches, debating whether or not to log back on and continue.

Ok, so let me just starry by saying, Bohemia Interactive, you have possibly one of the best games for such high potential. Ever since I’d seen gameplay of dayz on pc I’ve dreamed of a day the game would release on console. For the past few months, I’ve been able to live that dream. It’s such a good game that I could honestly play for hours and hours, which is why I don’t want to see it fail. I understand that no game should ever be EASY. I understand that taking the challenge away would make a game dull and boring. However, I and I think every other gamer out there would appreciate getting rewarded with some fun out of any game. I want ant to start with thirst, hunger, and vomiting. When I first started dayz, I’ll admit, I had no idea what the hell I was doing. But I remember dying probably 8-12 times just from THIRST. The fact that I started the game with no drinks, and a thirst meter already halfway empty, and draining fast, was insanely difficult for me. But then I started to catch on to the game. I began to understand the looting process and the while maintaining my thirst and hunger procedure. So months went by of me having a blast on the game. I died a couple times, but no where near as many times as the first day of playing the game. I am currently on my longest lasting character, I’ve kept him alive for about a whole month now, as of October 5th, 2019. I got on today and realized that my regular server was missing. I handled it pretty well, just had to pull out my compass and head south east. However, I did notice something odd. My thirst meter was going down at an alarming rate, a rate that it had never gone down at before. I walked about a mile and drink through all 4 full plastic water bottles, and a full canteen in just one mile. Not to mention that fact that I also kept throwing up because the game wouldn’t tell me if I was quenching my thirst or not which obviously made the situation worse. Staying quenched and full was already a bad enough problem when I first started, I’m begging you to not make it a problem again. I refuse to let my longest lasting character, who’s already been through the toughest situations, die of thirst. A pathetic death. If that means I can’t play the game until you guys fix thirst to actually feel realistic, then so be it. The other thing that I’m not really as concerned about is looting. Now I don’t really mind not finding any AR’s ANYWHERE because I already have a scoped SKS and a kickass pistol, BUT I’m just saying it would be nice to find one somewhere. I’ve seen countless amounts of ammo and attachments for AR’s, especially the AK, but no AR’s anywhere. I’ve only found ONE M4 in the many months of playing the game and that was in a bathroom in the military base south of the main airfield, and then I immediately lost it when it failed me in a firefight. I get it, I mean guns like that should definitely be rare, but not nonexistent. I’ve been to all military-based loot areas COUNTLESS times and never found a single AR ever again. I feel the same way about cars. I’ve only found 2 of those EVER. And I just have to pass them by because it’s VERY hard to build and fix a car to run properly. I think the positions of where certain things spawn should remain the same, but they should spawn more abundantly, which could also help with the thirst problem too. The last thing I wanted to say is a question. How do I setup a good base camp? How do I keep my things from despawning? I want to finally settle down with my character, so he can make regular runs and stuff. He can have a good transceiver and maybe a functioning car and grow a garden and stuff like that. Let me know in the comments.

this is a chat for all dayz players

I know everyone is comparing Arma 3's Real Virtuality 4 engine performance to that of DayZ's Enfusion Engine but that is NOT a fair comparison by any means because: - Arma 3 has a far more complex Ai Ecosystem than the barebones Ai framework that DayZ currently has. - Arma 3 has far more assets and objects to support all its diverse maps, factions and ecosystems. - DayZ has a far more complex Lightning system. - DayZ has a fairly different Server-Client infrastructure. Clients feel smoother in DayZ just because much of the load is handled by the Server while on Arma 3 the Server and Client load (when hosting) is handled under the same system/core. The weird thing is that on players only Arma 3 servers (no Ai) such as the ones on most Life Servers I get the basically the same very high FPS I get on similarly sized DayZ servers (amount of players) which leads me to believe that under similar conditions (No Ai) both Engines run at about the same FPS even thou Enfusion uses more cores but in the end how players measure performance is by their FPS and not the resource utilization, and also it makes no sense to optimize the engine to use more cores but get no FPS improvements in the process. So my question is: Where are the real performance improvements of the long Enfusion engine development cycle if under similar conditions it performs exactly or perhaps only slightly better than the old one?

Hey quick question. I know that in the DayZ standalone it had Bibles and books. Can anyone be kind enough to tell me whether the PS4 version of DayZ has the Bible in it? I can't find any info on it.

Hello all! First off: I have not been around for a while, had a few different deployments in support of 1st Special Operations Group and I am now back in a stable environment to get some other projects done, mostly S.E.R.E. School Hosting for the USMC @ https://discord.gg/RV7QaWR There is some amnesty for Milsim Operators although don't click that link if your soul is a dirty filthy whore. Haha. Either way, just to let everyone know back in 2013 we help trial runs for different operations for the United States Army Rangers and certain recon Marines in Afghanistan. The time has come to replan and get back into the dirty dirty. I have free time with my PC until Memorial Day and I the original plan has been delayed for over 8 months and I am getting breathed on heavily. Either way we still have a job to do. The original plan was to go with the Official DayZ mod with the packs installed and run under Operation Arrowhead. I need some updated guides and also I will not be streaming (as of right now) RDV would be ProfessorJive on Twitch. Can anyone help me on this? I do have a stable network and a stable PC. Add me on Steam: HipHopHypnosis you will see the original LYFEwithZombies logo as my steam name. Currently RECON68. Asking for assistance. Welcome groups: Chechnians, British, Israelis, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Canadians, French and Swiss along with our Austrians. Cheers! I will update this forum frequently. Thanks for the support over the years, I'm still alive, barely. hahah... 🙂 PROST@! -Chris aka LYFE

After buying dayz on ps4 I would love to know how you can justify your pricing? It's a buggy mess, controls are bloody awful and the tutorial looks like it was done by a child. How can a game over 5 years old still be in shocking condition and be justified at £39.99

Hey guys, I am new to Arma 3 modding. I was following along with this tutorial today and spent about 8 hours trying to get this "pie" into the game. I went through the tutorial twice to make sure that I followed his steps correctly. At first I got an error that I figured out myself, it was due to incorrect directory listings in the config.cpp file. However after I fixed this the item would still not show up in game when I ran player addItem "big_pie" in the Arma 3 editor. It popped up with no errors either leading me to think I am dealing with a texture issue of some sorts. https://pastebin.com/yvRWAqKT The above pastebin contains my pie.pbo log file from the @pie mod folder in my main Arma 3 directory. https://pastebin.com/gmsT0EqZ The above pastebin is a link to my config.cpp file and its contents. Can anybody please help me with this issue. My main goal is to get familiar with Arma 3 modding so that I can start modding DayZ SA as I was told the process is and will be similar.

Hello, I have been directed to the forums here for this type of help. I need the developers to allow me another try on the Dayz free trial since I got it exactly at the time when the Xbox servers were down on the 4th of September, so I never got to try it and now i DON'T know if to get it or not. My gamertag on Xbox is IIIErosionIII, please allow me another free trial, it is not fair that i didn't get to play the game at all. BTW - Xbox directed me here, they could not do anything themselves, so I'm really expecting you to help me on this.

Earlier this year there was mention of Dayz coming to Xbox and even gameplay shown and I was wondering what the time frame would look like since Vigor is also coming to Xbox in the preview program this year.

Dear Bohemia.. while i love your technically flawed products and spent thousands of hours with them (most of them were awesome.. quite often i got Arma'ed) your newest Newsletter is just infuriating to me as i love your products, always hoped for a better technical foundation and now you basically go with a game that has been 4 1/2 years (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) in early access: buy now last chance getting it on a discount.. as it is "finally" going into beta.. Instead of beeing sorry you try to capitalize on insulting business practices... Basically early access done wrong..

ZBot ( An experimental project. ) -> For any BattlEye rcon game supported! Current version: 1.0.2 A Discord bot that can roam your Discord server and function as an RCON client for your BattlEye game servers. Screenshots at the bottom. What can it do? Print all chats in different discord text channels in their respective colours ( Side, Vehicle, Global, ... ). (Tip: Print sidechat in a channel that everyone can read !) Execute RCON & Server commands to your arma server in the assigned Command channel. Protect these commands with an appropriate Discord Role. Reply to user commands when they type ingame. These replies can be printed ingame and in discord. ( eg: !admin -> Admins can be found on discord -> @Admin some asked for an admin ingame. ) Web panel to configure your rcon-game servers. List players, admins & bans trough rcon commands. ( All BattleEye commands supported ). Country flags when using command !rcon players+ Automated messages configured in web panel ( these can contain command which will be ignored by the bot -> No endless loop :p ) Future plans: Support other types or RCON ( steam, minecraft,... ) Open for ideas. How to add it to my server? https://bot.devzupa.be/ Follow the flow of the site. It should be straightforward. Always remember to save a page if needed before navigating to another page! Add the bot before or after you filled in all the info. ( The button on top ). Always be sure the chosen roles and channel exist in your discord server! ( channel names are without the # ) Whenever you make changes in the config panel you need to reload the config of your server onto the bot. This can be easily done by just typing in a channel: !zbot reload This commands also refreshes your rcon instance if it would have stopped for some reason. All rcon commands can be viewed in the assigned 'command' discord channel. List these commands by typing !rcon All commands are prefixed with that aswell. 1 example for a global message by the bot: !rcon say all Welcome you our server! All rcon commands: # ZBot BattlEye RCON commands **All commands are prefixed with !rcon** ## Commands players List all players admins List all admins bans List all bans load scripts Reloads al BE scripts load events Reloads al BE events say all [text] Sends text to all users say [playerId] [text] Sends text to specific user id MaxPing [ping] Sets the maxping of the serve. kick [playerId] [reason] Kicks player (eg: kick 32 Language pls.) ban [playerId] [minutes] Bans online player (eg: ban 11 0 Duping) 0 = forever [reason] addBan [GUID|IP] Bans on/off player (eg: addBan 127.0.0.1 0 Duping) [minutes] [reason] removeBan [banId] Remove bans (eg: ban 11 ) version Display the BattlEye version update Check for a newer BattlEye version loadBans Reload Bans from bans.txt writeBans Rewrite Bans to bans.txt disconnect Disconnects the rcon exit Exits the whole rcon client ## Server Commands **All commands are prefixed with !rcon** #shutdown Shutdown the GAME server #lock Locks the GAME server #unlock Unlocks the GAME server #missions Stops current missions and goes to mission list #reassign Moves all players back into the lobby #userlist Displays the list of users on the server #kick [serverPlayerId] Kicks an online player #exec ban Bans an online player [serverPlayerId] Please provide as much feedback as possible ! 1 mistake by myself can crash the whole bot. So if there are still use cases where it fails we can finetune it! You can join our discord server to discuss or report bugs ( or the topics ). https://discord.gg/WYbeSKR Technical info about the bot. Hosted in france on a good server. Coded in NodeJS ( Ecmascript 6 ). Modular build. Oauth2 authentications. The bot will be hosted by myself until we encounter any problems we can't solve that way. If i ever stop hosting the bot i will release the sourcecode. I might also release the sourcecode earlier. ( If i know you, you can ask me for access to the code).
