Description

Hi There,

I have just bought the game on PS4 and assumed the game would be in a fit enough state to play with a few minor glitches. I was very wrong, the unforgiving nature of DayZ with the current bugs and glitches makes the game unplayable. Here are a few of the bugs I have encountered, I will do my best to be as detailed as I can.

  • Items cant be removed from dead characters. Sometimes a character will die or I will go to my own dead body and i will not be able to remove or transfer to inventory any of the items that are there. Ive noticed that this often starts with a dead player character but often transfers over to any item in the environment.
  • Not being able to interact or use items - for some reason at certain times i cant use items in my hand i.e. to bandage myself with a rag/bandage or light a fire on the floor or skin a chicken with a knife. no idea when or why this occurs, problem persists until server resets or I log out and back in. has killed me more than once
  • Dropping an item on the floor and it dissapears - not sure why this happens, tested it whilst i was drying by a fire, dropped some tablets on the floor, walked out the house and then back in and they have dissapeared. Another time more recently I was in a gun fight, and i put my gun on the floor briefly so i could bandage as my inventory was too full, when i finished bandaging the gun had completely disappeared.

These problems have killed the game for me, in a game like Dayz when a little mistake can lead to you losing hours and hours of progress, one of the most dangerous aspects of your game on PS4 at the moment that I have found as a new player is encountering one of your glitches at the wrong time and it getting me killed. In fact the more I played the game and got to grips with the gameplay mechanics now the last 4 times i have died have been due to one or a combination of these bugs that have occurred frequently and often.

When i heard you guys had released a DLC i thought the game must of been finished however you guys have a long long way to go to get this game to a finished state, why are you spending time releasing DLC's??????

Steps To Reproduce

I don't know the steps to reporduce but it happens so often that It shouldnt take you long to encounter it. Try interacting with dead character corpses, that seems to be a trigger!
