When will the dayz rendering issues be fixed? Is a community manager here, who can answer? The state of the game is awful. In big cities it can take up 5 seconds or more until scope is rendered. Till then you only see white.

I’m in uk it’s 8:20 I’m sweating already and I’m not even in the desert yet.. jokes aside I’m fucking ready to goooo where the hell is this shit?

Here's the plan:

All official servers will go down at 11:00 CEST

PC servers will go online at 12:00 CEST

Console servers will follow 1 hour later.

Patchnotes coming soon!

How long does it particularly take for iZurvive to get the new map on their site?

7318, I went to the airfield and geared up a bit since I died a few days ago. Was stalking around listening to gunshots and saw someone in the medical tent hanger and dropped them. Waited a bit for their possible teammates to show up. Nothing. Day turned to night, so moved in to check out what they had, nothing great, no plates, so the 2 556 rounds from the AUG was enough to drop them neatly on a stretcher. Decided I'd build a fire in the hanger and light it up in honor of my kill. Then was going to go chase more gunshots, but I'm tired, circled back, stripped off my gear next to them, and ended this run on my terms.

took a boat up the river what now? push it to tisy this took 12 hours if your curius high pop 0030

It was a good run but decided to go out my own way

Sometimes I wait and leave something in a police clothing outside of a door and then I turn and then shoot them in the head

Every time I try to join any servers modded or not. It always gets stuck on “battleye starting”. I’ve deleted dayz and red downloaded it, same with all mods. I’ve deleted battleye and redownloaded it.

Finally decided to see what dayz was all about after hearing its praise from a friend and watching some of the content creators.

Hot damn do I love this game. Sure, it can be an absolute headache but it can also give you countless experiences you couldn't get in another game.

What was it about DayZ that made it click for you?

I can't really play as much as I want, with work and just life in general, but I am kinda proud of this dude. I call him Dave.

I know its not a lot of time alive, but those 11 hours were great fun and I enjoyed the little bits of playtime I get here and there. Most of it was spent solo, but I did have a buddy for a little bit. We shared a sunset while fishing.

Anyways now Im gunna go chill at NWAF or something and most likely run into a few people, and hopefully go out with a bang!

How do you like to end your characters story?

I got the impression when Sakhal came out, there was an initial honeymoon period of "people in it together" and some sense of shared exploration. My frustration with DayZ (but other PvPvE games such as ARC Raiders can be like this) is where it feels like it's just devolved into KOS (kill on sight), like some sort of CoD arena. The experience for me diminishes (there are far better shooters out there if I just want to run around chasing a kill count).

Was anybody on Sakhal on day one? Was it like this? If so, is Badlands expected to have an initial period where I can experience DayZ again, properly - the full survival experience and more organic encounters (which may involve PvP but doesn't have to)? This is what would tempt me to get it day one.

There's literally less people playing than usual...

Did I miss it all?

Playing on PS5 in Europe.

So, I want to try to learn how to run a server - just me and some friends, nothing large scale. Testing some CLE tweaks, mods and such. Are there any recommendations on what hardware/OS to use?

I am mostly used to Windows, but I did use Ubuntu like a decade ago and I am thereforce not totally unfamiliar with it.

Hardware wise... if I could, I would prefer to use some old stuff from back when I collected hardware. I have plenty of 12-18 core Xeons for platforms like X79 and X99 if the server likes many cores, or do I have to aim for high single thread performance instead? I do have a Ryzen 3 3100 in a shelf here that could go straight into a build if it's powerful enough. If I "have to", I can invest in something like a 12th Gen Intel chip or a 5000 series AMD chip and use spare parts for the rest of the build - but I am a bit unsure about what's considered good enough. No reason to spend more than I have to.

Any advice? :)

​I don’t main DayZ, but I know how to play. Problem is I’ve literally never played a single life without iZurvive open on my second monitor.

​I’m just so hyped that I’m not gonna touch iZurvive tomorrow, whether the map is up on the site or not. Just reading road signs and guessing where the fuck I am.

As a software developer closing in on 2k hours in this game, I thought it was time to build the map I always wanted while playing. It's called Mapzone, it's free, and it runs in your browser: https://mapzone.app

What it does:

- Loot routes: click where you spawned and pick "spawn to geared". It plans a run from water through towns up to a military area, and you can pick another goal if you don't like the first one

- Item search: type "NVG", "SVD" or "car battery" and it lights up every building that item can spawn in, with tiers. It's built from the game's own loot files, so it also tells you things like "M4 only spawns in contaminated zones"

- Squads: share your position and target live with your friends, and share stashes and bases that stay on the map. Just send an invite link, no accounts

- Your own places (stash, base, car) that sync between your PC and your phone

- Building photos, player names for buildings (Granny House, Rasta House…), a 3D terrain view, challenges, and the Namalsk quests (suit, A3, Lantia)

- Works on your phone. There's also a desktop overlay you open on top of the game with a hotkey

No ads, no login. It's a hobby project and I'm actively working on it, so tell me what's missing or broken and I'll fix it. Which map or feature should I add next?

Startet in kamishovo and sailed west, up kamenka. Had to push it up next to the dam in Plotina. 10/10

Bought a pc a couple months ago, and finally bought DayZ on PC last week...

It's like an entirely new game. Doesn't lag or framerate spike at all.

Loads super fast, super simple to transition from console to pc controls, the game is amazing on PC compared to console

Seriously if you are playing on console, you are not getting the full DayZ experience at all.

Marketing campaign for badlands is terrible, out tomorrow and nothing for it anywhere in PS store. Devs really don’t care about the game anymore I don’t think

Do we know if Bohemia will be monitoring for hackers more closely tomorrow for release? I never play official because of dying to cheaters so many times but imagine it'll take a couple days for community servers to get Nasdara up and running so I'll be forced to play official. I would really like this new map which I'm so excited for to not just be ruined by getting magic bulleted. Curious if anyone who was around for Sakhal release remembers how they handled cheaters on day 1.

So ever since I heard that there's gonna be a complete and total swipe of every server.I just been kind of walking around my base , depressed like I found out there's a media coming to take out the world. Took me like eight months to build this thing...

So now i'm literally just wandering around , not knowing what to do.

Don't get re wrong.I'm glad that they do the server, wipe.

But it's just like I know in a couple of days , everything's gonna be gone and everybody's gonna be playing badlands , and i'm gonna be left walking around by myself starting over l o l.

The asphalt of the 4403 coast route still looks the same every time I spawn back in, but it’s a whole lot quieter without you, Disco Steve.

It all started just north of Solnechny. My buddy spotted you shuffling along the elevated railroad tracks, the universal sign of a wandering freshie. Before anything could really be said, I broke both your legs. Standard procedure in the apocalypse, or so I thought, until we hovered over your broken body and asked how long you’d been in the game.

"About fifty hours," you said through a crackly mic.

That was the moment the night turned. We couldn't just leave you there to bleed out or get eaten by infected. We crafted a splint, taught you how bone mechanics work in DayZ, and officially adopted you into the squad. From that second on, you weren't just loot target practice, you were Disco Steve.

The trip down the coast was pure, unfiltered chaos. We commandeered a boat, engine roaring against the shoreline waves, and made a pit stop in Kamyshovo, the infamous cannibal town. With you following our lead, we cleared out every freshie, taking back the town one shovel hit at a time. Then came the trial by fire in Elektro: fighting back-to-back through hordes of infected, sharing canned pork, and keeping you alive through every close call.

Then came Elektro, where the learning curve hit you like a freight train. While we were chasing down a freshie near the police station. The lone freshie slid out from around a corner and cracked you in the skull with a pipe wrench. Down you went, snoring flat on your back on the third floor. My buddy dispatched the guy on the spot, resuscitated your unconscious body, and stood guard over your floating white circle until you finally blinked back to life. "Did I win?" you asked. Classic Steve.

Our luck finally ran out in Chernogorsk. We were holding down the roundabout, swarmed by zombies and running low on stamina, when the silent killer of the 4403 struck, an ambush. We had been tracked, ever since we entered Prigorodki. Shots rang out from the tree line, and in the sheer madness of infected screeches and incoming gunfire, you life ended right there on the pavement. Fear not, we avenged you with every ounce of our will.

Server 4403 is still full of freshies, but none of them are Disco Steve. Here’s hoping you’re out there somewhere on the coast, legs intact, splint fully crafted, and living up to the legend.

Wow what a beautiful map.

I've only given it a shot a few times as I've found the idea of having to constantly make fires a bit annoying, but since then have found some modded servers that help alleviate that. This map is so beautiful and calming. I especially love the birch trees and morning/evening light.

Bonus that not many players play it anymore haha.
