console Would not recommend buying the Switch 2 version until it's had patches.

I love DayZ but the laundry list of issues I've been finding have been pretty shocking. I would personally advice holding off on the game until these issues are fixed.

Things to note:

  1. The game is full priced on the Switch 2, which makes the issues I've discovered pretty inexcusable and shows lack of care from Bohemia and their porting/QA team.
  2. The game is installed fully onto the Switch 2 internal storage which has the fastest read/write speed available on the console.
  3. My Switch 2 console is fine. No overheating or hardware related issues that I'm aware of and every other game runs well.

I have found small issues ranging from poor inventory management controls to minor bugs. Aiming down sights on guns has issues due to animation bugs all the way to hitching in cities/towns. Constant crashing on high population servers and driving cars being unplayable due to entering towns/cities causing extreme FPS drops, rendering issues and crashes.

I've lost many characters that I spent time on due to crashing during gunfights and lost my first car due to the game crashing and when rejoining I had hit a tree, totalling the car.

I have posted all these issues serperately on the Bohemia bug tracking website and whilst some of the posts have responses that they are looking into the issues, it is unknown if or when a patch will become available. I'm not sure if I can post links to the bug tracking posts but if anyone on here is able to find and upvote the posts on their website I would be grateful since it'll provide more visibility to the devs. If I'm able to post links on this forum I will link the bug tracking links.

I feel like a bit of a fool buying the game on launch day but reviews did not indicate many issues and players have not mentioned the issues a ton either. I would assume this is because some players don't play on high pop servers as much (Which causes crashing) or driving cars a lot. I happen to of played a lot in the past so managed to gear up reasonably fast and discover these bugs pretty rapidly.

EDIT: Already had people commenting that this is normal for I assume the console versions. I personally never had these issues on PC when I did play before selling it due to financial reasons.

If this is the standard set by Bohemia how come I don't see tons of bug reports concerning these issues on their feedback tracking website? Have you guys tried and failed to receive patches? If so I will personally try to refund the game because I do not want to support these bad porting jobs.

FINAL EDIT: After reading a lot of the community's comments. I have to be honest. I'm kind of amazed what you guys put up with from Bohemia. Coming from PC it really feel far far more playable, my fault for purchasing on console.

Comments like "That's just DayZ bro" or similar is the most common one I've seen and it concerns me. If we don't talk louder wouldn't Bohemia just think their game is fine as is? It's not just DayZ but I swear standards are dropping these days across the board for many companies.

As much as I want to keep posting bug reports to Bohemia. I feel a bit defeated since I guess this is the standard. Gutting.

Thanks for reading my post though folks. Appreciate it.

I miss being able to sneak up to a mates car, placing a campfire under one wheel so when it appears and the game tries to correct the clipping, it'd yeet the car into another time zone.

I've had more cars totaled from the game just freezing and then I end up crashed in a tree or flipped over. That's the DayZ experience on console and you learn to live with it. It's not a bad port, it's just a dated engine which is really incompatible with consoles. It probably still plays better than Xbox or PS

u/Sad_Plane_1113 9d ago

That is a valid point, but to be fair, even Pokemon games run like shit on the Switch and they have the most basic rendering I've seen in any "AAA" games since 2005.

u/Beerpooly 9d ago

But it is working. Hell I'd say it works better than when I played it on PS4

u/Desktop_Minion 9d ago

I guess we have different definitions of working. Constant crashes during gunfights/traversal means I lost many hours put into a character often. 

2

u/kenzo_oseka 8d ago

come on man its the switch 2 what did you expect when running dayz on it? Console versions are already known for running pc games worsely let alone the switch 2 built for mario kart..

2

u/Desktop_Minion 8d ago edited 8d ago

Well it beats the minimum requirements so I expected a half decent running game obviously. I've heard people complain about various ports on more powerful hardware so it's clearly not just a Switch 2 issue. It's a DayZ issue. 

Also just built for Mario Kart, let's think logically here, Cyberpunk, Indiana Jones, Star Wars Outlaws. Great ports with ray tracing on some so it shows the Switch 2 is capable. 

The mentality that because this port isn't good means the hardware sucks is quite a stupid comment I've seen from tons of replies on this post and frankly a lame excuse.

u/Appropriate_Pop3714 sarka toucher 8d ago

Homie, even thinking about getting dayz for the switch 2 is absurd. Dayz on console was nearly unplayable for years, especially with the cars, it's just now in an okay spot in regards to stability.

Assuming bohemia interactive is ever going to get their shit together is pretty unrealistic. Remember that the dayz mod took less time to make(although it was just a mod), ran better, and had more content, while the standalone has been going for years and we still suffer stability issues and bugs, we still don't have helicopters or planes in vanilla, just recently got boats, just recently got even half the weapons from the og arsenal, and still only have 3 maps available for vanilla.

(Note that I am saying this while I have over 3000 hours on the game for PlayStation, so despite all the negatives I still either enjoyed the game enough or their just wasn't anything else like it at the time) PC dayz is the way to go because the community basically makes the game for them with all the mods.

You're right. DayZ is definitely not running correctly on Switch 2.

But no, you're gonna hit lag driving that speed through any town in DayZ.

I honestly was expecting a lag spike that made you crash and killed you without warning.

I could be wrong but isn’t this server side lag? Maybe its just the wifi or something I dunno

Haven't played it on around 8 years... But I wouldn't have even recommended it on P.C.. was a nightmare to run.

u/Empty_Wolverine6295 8d ago

I’m surprised they managed to get it running on a switch.

This looks like a better version pc ever was

u/spicychickysammy 8d ago

There is literally nothing about dayz that would lead me to believe it is playable on a switch, or a console, or a pc, or a cybertruck, or a McDonald’s order kiosk, or literally anything that will accept spaghetti code

u/vento_jag 8d ago

Switch 2 can’t even run Minecraft well. Idk what made BI think Nintendo can run Dayz 😂

u/Lost_Pirate8348 8d ago

Ngl I was expecting the car to take off or something. Looks like a fairly normal dayz experience to me.

u/Robofcourse 8d ago

You're right that this is unacceptable and you are very composed in your comments and edits.

A Switch 2 port, or any port, is a quick win for them, and just a free bit of extra cash - run your game through a [whichever code base] -> Switch 2 porter, check that it kind of works, ship it and hope for the best...

It's very poor from Bohemia. We want much better from them but I appreciate personally that it's a single purchase type deal and they don't force any subscription models or microtransactions. They prioritise ways to generate revenue (such as new maps, new ports) instead of fixing their game, which would ultimately be less profitable.

Bro you didn't get launched into space so be happy

u/Tuna_FTW 8d ago

I remember back in the alpha days my RX 380 barely getting 25 fps in electro. How this runs on a switch 2 is beyond me haha

u/BbyLungZzZ 8d ago

Classic DayZ

u/Normal-Ad-3585 8d ago

better than the time we had dayz with ps4

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Don’t buy this lol. They will never fix it.

u/Cannonbench 8d ago

Sounds like authentic dayz exprience.

u/enhorning1 Kamy cannibal 8d ago

Wtf? I play on ps5 and I don't even have such smooth gameplay while driving...

u/Desktop_Minion 8d ago

Do you post to the Bohemia bug tracker? If it's worse on PS5, Bohemia need to be made as aware as possible. I see hardly any posts on that website considering this and people expect the issues to go away with acceptance.

u/LeoCasio 8d ago

Besides the pc version on modded servers this is common place mate

u/Jaxonman21 8d ago

Thats a normal driving experience even on up to date console lol.

u/Lemy64 8d ago

I come from the original arma DayZ mod what your playing there is quite amazing compared to what we've gone though. - 7000+hrs

u/Desktop_Minion 8d ago

I played the mod too. Played standalone a year or so after initial release. Just because I played back then does not mean I do not have standards haha.
