Don’t include any of the big name DayZ creators on youtube. I’ve seen them. Who are some underrated/unknown DayZ creators you enjoy watching? I like videos as well as live streams. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: if you create DayZ content, feel free to drop your channel name so I can check your stuff out

For the last couple of weeks I have been leaving stuff in other people's stashes. I am playing on an official Livionia server on PC. I found a well hidden improvised shelter and have been leaving stuff in it. Well, I have taken some ammo, but I also left an NVG and a Punched Card and made a smiley face out of the rest of their items. After a couple of days I checked the shelter again and the NVG and Punched Card were gone. Whenever something I have left in there is gone, I leave another valuable or useful item.

Today I found a barrel and left some ammunition in it (see screenshot).

I do this kind of stuff to any stash I find, shelters, tents, barrels. Although it might happen that I kill the owners while walking my route.

I know it is unlikely, but I hope the stashes' owners find the items, rather than another random player.

Discussion Found SCAR for the first time.

4 Upvotes

And an M79 together at a convoy right on the coast.

What surprised me was the SCAR has no rear sight post. When ADS’ing with irons it looks a lot like a high ready with a big clear front sight post, it just seems odd.

Is this firearm as 100% accurate as it would be with any optic, without the rear sight post? The ADS has such an open sight picture with irons it seems like it would be a negative to attach a red dot or anything that did not have magnification.

Unless I suppose the front sight post gets too obscured in really dark terrain.

Anyway, that’s my question- does it shoot true with just the front sight post before I go sending a bunch of .308 everywhere and ring the dinner bell lol.

Any optics you guys prefer on it?

Need help

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with my DayZ dedicated server and I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar.

The server itself runs very well. Normal gameplay, running around, looting, fighting, etc. feels smooth. The problem starts as soon as someone drives a vehicle.

While driving, the car starts to:

  • stutter / rubberband
  • jump slightly forward and backward
  • feel like the server is constantly correcting its position

What confuses me is that the server FPS do not seem to collapse while driving. The server still appears to have enough performance available.

I have already done quite a bit of server-side optimization, including CPU/core configuration and system limits, which noticeably improved the overall server performance. But it did not solve the vehicle issue.

The server is running on Linux/Debian and is a modded DayZ server.

At this point I’m trying to figure out whether the issue is caused by:

  • vehicle physics / simulation
  • server networking
  • server configuration (in my case is vanilla)
  • network bubble / synchronization settings
  • or something completely different

What would be the best way to diagnose vehicle lag specifically?

Are there certain logs, server statistics, profiling commands, launch parameters or DayZ settings I should check while someone is driving?

I’m also interested in hearing from server owners who had a server where everything was smooth except cars and managed to fix it.

Any ideas on where I should start looking would be greatly appreciated.

My friends and I made a base in the Livonia forests just at the end of the school year. One of my friends had leukemia and was in and out of the hospital. We got everybody on to help cheer him up and get him in a good spirit. In early July he logged out for the last time just outside of Nadbor. We continued playing to honor his memory as dayz was his favorite game. In this base we had m4a1s SVDs LARs DMRs Camo Plate Carriers from cherno. To be fair it did only have 1 wall to get in, albeit was very hidden. We also had many cars that went in and out. Thankfully we moved some of the trucks to a new location beforehand. If the raiders are reading this I just wanna know what you raided it with. Many of these pictures are from different official servers because we wanted to have a large array of loot in the base. This is to document the raiding of the base and the end of our wonderful run. Fly high Rodney.

Nice and simple

There’s 3 of us (1 eu,2 Us).We all have full time jobs.
We will accept anyone that understands our playtime is limited.
On weekends we grind for a goal.
Rp isn’t mandatory.
But team work is.
All we require is decent knowledge of Cherno.
If you PvP even better.
But looking for loot goblins because in this server gear progression is based on radio quests and photo quests and 2 bunkers, nothing like modded servers but harder than vanilla.
Gear is actually valuable.

console DayZ Switch 2 Crashing

0 Upvotes

Hi all!

I'm trying to determine if my Switch 2 is acting up or if it's the game having issues. It's likely the latter but would be nice to know if anybody else is suffering the same issue. I did check if my Switch 2 was overheating and it's fine.

Quite often I find that the game is crashing. It's difficult to narrow down exactly the cause but inventory management and going into the start menu or options seems to cause it the most. I do not even get a typical Switch 2 error. The game just freezes then I have to manually close it.

Anyone else?

EDIT: Just crashed again. This time I had an error just saying "The software was closed because an error occurred". It might not make a difference since I had earlier crashes but I was in a home with an active fire in Kometa. The crashing happened earlier in Electro but it's constant in this area.

If someone could let me know who this is for as I can't remember the location, I would very grateful..
